چکیده

We investigated predictors of shallow and deep learning for 192 college students with high vs. low prior knowledge in a game-like intelligent tutoring system, OperationARA that has an eText, multiple-choice tests, case-based reasoning, and adaptive tutorial conversations. Students are expected to learn about 11 topics of research methodology across three modules that target factual information, application of reasoning to specific cases, and question generation. Our approach blends evidence-centered design (ECD) and educational data mining (EDM) methods to discover the best predictors of deep and shallow level learning for students of varying aptitudes within this game. Theoreticallygrounded constructs (e.g., time-on-task, generation, discrimination) were found to be significant predictors of deep vs. shallow knowledge acquisition.

Keeping it Real: From Faces and Features to Social Values in Deep Learning Algorithms on Social Media Images

This paper wants to supplement computational tests of deep learning vision algorithms with a sociologically grounded performance test of three widely used vision algorithms on Facebook images (Clarifai, Google Vision and Inception-v3). The test shows poor results and the paper suggests the use of a two-level labeling model that combines features with theoretically inspired accounts of the socia...

Shallow vs. Deep Sum-Product Networks

We investigate the representational power of sum-product networks (computation networks analogous to neural networks, but whose individual units compute either products or weighted sums), through a theoretical analysis that compares deep (multiple hidden layers) vs. shallow (one hidden layer) architectures. We prove there exist families of functions that can be represented much more efficiently...

Generalization and Expressivity for Deep Nets

Along with the rapid development of deep learning in practice, theoretical explanations for its success become urgent. Generalization and expressivity are two widely used measurements to quantify theoretical behaviors of deep learning. The expressivity focuses on finding functions expressible by deep nets but cannot be approximated by shallow nets with the similar number of neurons. It usually ...

Prompting Effective Collaboration Using Deep Questions

The use of visuals (e.g., videos, animations) to promote learning has been of great interest to researchers and educators. A key challenge is to determine the extent to which cognitively-based, instructional supports (e.g., prompts, feedback) can promote deeper understanding when students learn with visual materials. In this research, we explored the effects of deep vs. shallow questions on ind...

Porosity classification from thin sections using image analysis and neural networks including shallow and deep learning in Jahrum formation

The porosity within a reservoir rock is a basic parameter for the reservoir characterization. The present paper introduces two intelligent models for identification of the porosity types using image analysis. For this aim, firstly, thirteen geometrical parameters of pores of each image were extracted using the image analysis techniques. The extracted features and their corresponding pore types ...
