Introduction Hand Therapy is a sub speciality area within the field of orthopaedics rehabilitation that encompasses hand therapists that may have a background as occupational therapist or physiotherapist. It requires advanced continuing graduate education, clinical experience and independent study. Available hand therapy programs are time-consuming, expensive and inaccessible. The authors conce...

Memory organization plays a critical role in knowledge acquisition. An agent must select a small subset of existing knowledge to serve as the basis for new learning; otherwise each problem becomes more complex than the previous. Selecting this subset remains a challenge, however. We propose that existing knowledge be organized in order for a learning agent to achieve its full potential. The SCA...

The intelligence of E-learning system has become one of regarded topic to public. Using adoptive E-learning system to supplement or replace the classroom is becoming more common in education. To develop an automated knowledge Acquisition intelligent tutoring system is the aim of this paper. Moreover the knowledge Acquisition system (KAS) can improves the education efficiency highly since this s...

Background: Previous research revealed relationships between learning strategies and knowledge acquisition. During clerkships, however, students’ focus widens beyond mere knowledge acquisition as they further develop overall competence. This shift in focus can influence learning strategy use. Aim: We explored which learning strategies were used during clerkships and their relationship to clinic...

The work described in this paper tackles learning and communication between cognitive artificial agents. Focus is on dialogue as the only way for agents to acquire knowledge, as it often happens in natural situations. Since this restriction has scarcely been studied as such in artificial intelligence (AI), until now, this research aims at providing a dialogue model devoted to knowledge acquisit...

The purpose of this research is to understand the way a CRM project implementation may contribute to the success of the project. The approach of Knowledge Management Strategic Alignment was used as a theoretical framework and a case study was realised for this end. The case study allowed exploring the role of customer knowledge competencies of the company in the CRM project implementation. Thre...

We introduce a methodology for automated knowledge acquisition and learning from texts that relies upon a quality-based model of terminological reasoning. Concept hypotheses which have been derived in the course of the text understanding process are assigned speciic \quality labels" (indicating their signiicance, reliability, strength). Quality assessment of these hypotheses accounts for concep...

It has often been thought that our knowledge of ourselves is different from, perhaps in some sense better than, our knowledge of things other than ourselves. Indeed, there is a thriving research area in epistemology dedicated to seeking an account of self-knowledge that would articulate and explain its difference from, and superiority over, other knowledge. Such an account would thus illuminate...
