With advances in digital technology, research-validated self-paced learning tools can play an increasingly important role in helping students with diverse backgrounds become good problem solvers and independent learners. Thus, it is important to ensure that all students engage with self-paced learning tools effectively in order to learn the content deeply, develop good problem-solving skills, a...

Abstract In the field of medical image diagnostics, automatic glaucoma classification is a daunting task that requires carefully crafted features (Machine Learning) or tuning hyperparameters over huge search space (Deep Learning). this paper, we proposed wavelet scattering based approach extracts from fundus images at different sub-stages, reduces feature using principal component analysis (PCA...

This study examined the effect of mood on predictive sentence processing by older adults. A self-paced reading task was implemented among a group younger adults and to measure their performance in online processing. Half sentences were highly predictable, whereas other half lowly predictable. Music used induce positive or negative mood. Results show that condition, predictable processed more ef...

Watchstanding in shipboard command centers requires U.S. Navy crews to complete timecritical and externally paced task assignments in an accurate and timely manner. Requirements for optimized crew sizes in future ships are driving system designers toward human–computer interface designs that mitigate task and workload demands in a multi-task work environment. The multi-task mission is character...

Notation and Definition: We assume that examples are drawn from some distributions D over an instance space X = X1 × X2, where X1 and X2 correspond to two different “views” of examples. Let c denote the target function, and let X and X− (for simplicity we assume we are doing binary classification) denote the positive and negative regions of X , respectively . For i ∈ 1, 2, let X i = {xj ∈ Xi : ...

In the current fast-paced world, people tend to possess limited knowledge about things from the past. For example, some young users may not know that Walkman played similar function as iPod does nowadays. In this paper, we approach the temporal correspondence problem in which, given an input term (e.g., iPod) and the target time (e.g. 1980s), the task is to find the counterpart of the query tha...

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to examine whether online text vowelization of words in context facilitates reading in Hebrew, which is a deep orthography language. The study compares the effect of vowelization on reading among native and non-native Hebrew speakers. Participants will perform a self-paced reading cumulative presentation (Marinis, 2003) task, that includes a 2 (voweled/non...

Accurately assessing the physiological status of firefighters during work in the heat is critical to ensuring their safety. Evaluating core temperatures (Tc) in the field is problematic due to cost and limitations in technology and accuracy. As such, fire services rely on individual perceptions of wellbeing. The present study aimed to establish whether perceptual responses measured using the pe...
