چکیده

Purpose – Exploratory learning is regarded as an important ability for developing knowledge from open environments. During the exploration, learners not only need to acquire new information based on their current interests, but also they need to form new perspectives by incorporating new knowledge into their previous knowledge. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach – To this end, this paper proposes an approach that includes a concept association bank to recommend related concepts in a domain based on the goal of an exploration. By doing so, learners’ knowledge can be expanded beyond their current understanding. An experiment was conducted to investigate how the proposed approach facilitated the learners’ exploration. Findings – The results indicated that the concept association bank is a useful mechanism to help learners gain new understanding, including providing exploration directions, reducing complexity and cognitive load, facilitating dataand goal-driven exploration strategies, and commenting on new understanding. The implications of these results are discussed. Originality/value – Current recommendation systems emphasise a data-driven strategy, which seeks isolated pieces of information, instead of suggesting directions related to their exploration goal. The problem with such an approach is that learners’ exploration will be limited by their existing knowledge. Thus, this paper presents an approach to support both dataand goal-driven strategies.

A clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting

This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

Exploring Attributes with Domain Knowledge in Formal Concept Analysis

Recent literature reports the growing interests in data analysis using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), in which data is represented in the form of object and attribute relations. FCA analyzes and then subsequently visualizes the data based on duality called Galois connection. Attribute exploration is a knowledge acquisition process in FCA, which interactively determines the implications holding ...
