Despite decades of research into artificial intelligence, today’s computer systems still require extensive manual effort to program and to customize to our needs. These current limitations motivate my research, which aims to create autonomous agents that can adapt to the complexities and uncertainties of the real world. I hope to develop what I believe is the missing ingredient: knowledge repre...

Metacognition refers to knowledge about one’s own cognition. The present study was designed to assess metacognitive skills that either precede or follow task engagement, rather than the processes that occur during a task. Specifically, we examined prediction and evaluation skills among children with (n = 17) or without (n = 179) mathematics learning disability (MLD), from grades 2 to 4. Childre...

The last five years have seen an explosion in machine-learning research. This explosion has many causes: First, separate research communities in symbolic machine learning, computational learning theory, neural networks, statistics, and pattern recognition have discovered one another and begun to work together. Second, machine-learning techniques are being applied to new kinds of problem, includ...

Many medical universitiesaround the world have donestunning changes in the recent years.Some of these changes have been performed with the support of international organizations.They changed the traditionaltrainingprograms based on teacher- centered learning and disciplined approach to the educational course based on community needs responsivity and Student-centered learning. This process is ai...

the need for intercultural awareness and skills emerges strongly in both distance learning courses, and in social life in multicultural societies. the study of online language transactions is therefore an important aspect of the emerging culture and sociolinguistics of computer mediated communication. the research reported in this paper concerns perceptions held by students in an iranian univer...

development of any organization largely depends on the proper use of its human resources. as organizations become much larger, these problems are naturally added to these enormous labor force. one of the topics organizational communities of irancan be considered as a unfamiliar subject and less likely to be found in research is the phenomenon of organizational silence; despite the fact that sil...
