We present an approach which uses the similarity in semantic structure of bilingual parallel sentences to bootstrap a pair of semantic role labeling (SRL) models. The setting is similar to co-training, except for the intermediate model required to convert the SRL structure between the two annotation schemes used for different languages. Our approach can facilitate the construction of SRL models...

We describe an experiment evaluating a training program designed to help participants interpret probability and risk information presented in a normalized single-event probability format. Both conditional probability and cumulative probability judgments benefited from training in using tree-structures to represent the problem and the set-subset relations involved. The effects of this training p...

Day care workers are not only responsible for meeting the needs of the children they care for but creating an enriched and friendly environment as well. Few daycare centers require any specific inservice training for their staff members. When provided, training typically occurs as a didactic workshop. For this study a multiple baseline design across participants was used to evaluate the effects...

Our evaluative study, which is reported here, is linked with a civics project initiated by the Dutch National Institute for Curriculum Development (SLO) during the 1980s. The project focused on the education of twelve-to sixteen-year-old students at the lowersecondary level and was executed at request of the Dutch National Association for Social Studies Teachers. At that time, there was much id...
