Toward predicting research proposal success

Predicting Success

“Failure shall disappoint, but never discourage” Success is the favorable outcome of an endeavor, which is planned and executed by a leader. The ability to predict at every stage if the strategies are still targeting the goal is crucial and often most difficult part of management and in life. There are always factors which are dynamic, uncertain and unpredictable; the decision making is complex...

Predicting Student Success

This research focuses on developing and implementing the Naïve Bayesian Classifier to GEAR courses at Rio Salado Community College. It demonstrates that this predictive model has good prediction accuracy of at-risk students. Predictive results across courses and cumulative gain charts show potential improvements to be made in students' academic success by focusing at high level risk students.

Predicting Success in Dialogue

Task-solving in dialogue depends on the linguistic alignment of the interlocutors, which Pickering & Garrod (2004) have suggested to be based on mechanistic repetition effects. In this paper, we seek confirmation of this hypothesis by looking at repetition in corpora, and whether repetition is correlated with task success. We show that the relevant repetition tendency is based on slow adaptatio...

Climate Virtues Ethics: A Proposal for Future Research

Climate virtue ethics points to the subjective/personal dimensions of climate ethics, which have been largely neglected by previous research. There is a lot of research from diverse fields that pertains to the cultural and the individual dimensions that come along with climate virtue ethics, but, as of yet, these dimensions have hardly been examined together. Future research on climate virtue e...
