Introspective Active Learning for Scalable Semantic Mapping

Driven Learning for Driving: How Introspection Improves Semantic Mapping

This paper explores the suitability of commonly employed classification methods to action-selection tasks in robotics, and argues that a classifier’s introspective capacity is a vital but as yet largely under-appreciated attribute. As illustration we propose an active learning framework for semantic mapping in mobile robotics and demonstrate it in the context of autonomous driving. In this fram...

The Effect of Semantic Mapping as a Vocabulary Instruction Technique on EFL Learners with Different Perceptual Learning Styles

Traditional and modern vocabulary instruction techniques have been introduced in the past few decades to improve the learners’ performance in reading comprehension. Semantic mapping, which entails drawing learners’ attention to the interrelationships among lexical items through graphic organizers, is claimed to enhance vocabulary learning significantly. However, whether this technique suits all...

Teaching Vocabulary through Semantic Mapping as a Pre-reading Activity across Genders

This study has examined the effect of semantic mapping on learning vocabulary across genders. The researchers selected 120 intermediate students after the administration of a standard proficiency test. A vocabulary test was also used to measure the students’ vocabulary knowledge. The experimental group received semantic mapping in the pre-reading stage, butthe control group did not receive this...

The Effects of Guided and Unguided Semantic Mapping on Iranian EFL Learners’ Vocabulary and Grammar Knowledge

A New Model of Reflective Introspective Learning

Systems which introspect about their own processes can improve their reasoning behavior in response to experience using "introspective learning" techniques. Many systems which perform introspective learning analyze and change only an underlying domain task’s reasoning processes. They do not possess the ability to r~ flectively introspect about the introspective task itself. We present a model o...
