Extracting sparse representations with Dictionary Learning (DL) methods has led to interesting image and speech recognition results. DL has recently been extended to supervised learning (SDL) by using the dictionary for feature extraction and classification. One challenge with SDL is imposing diversity for extracting more discriminative features. To this end, we propose Incrementally Built Dict...

We present hyp, an open-source toolkit for the representation, manipulation, and optimization of weighted directed hypergraphs. hyp provides compose, project, invert functionality, k-best path algorithms, the inside and outside algorithms, and more. Finite-state machines are modeled as a special case of directed hypergraphs. hyp consists of a C++ API, as well as a command line tool, and is avai...

The curriculum of the medical course at The University of Melbourne is currently being transformed from a traditional discipline-based approach to an integrated, body systems teaching program incorporating elements of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Information Technology (IT). This paper describes our experience with the use of interactive multimedia teaching modules and clinical-based scenar...

The focus of this book is original research regarding the implementation problem-based learning and pedagogies play as active approaches to foster self-directed learning. With Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in mind, educational institutions need rethink teaching for future.
