Rapid developments of medical field, expanding knowledge bases and new technologies require continuing medical education to achieve life long learning and to keep physicians up-to-date. Consequently, specific training is necessary to guarantee qualification of medical experts. Virtual Reality has the potential to build up a safe training environment overcoming current drawbacks of traditional t...

The potential and promise of mobile app development depends in large part on the creative capability of the app developer. In Africa, despite the explosion of mobile phones over the last few years, there is uncertainty regarding the state and need for more relevant apps. In this paper, we draw from a focus group discussion of African based experts and decision-makers from international agencies...

The “hand in hand” approach has been validated as effective in human motor skill training, such as handwriting, drawing, driving and so on. This paper proposes a networked haptic interaction system to simulate the “hand in hand” training scheme for tank gunnery which requires tank gunners to complete tasks accurately and quickly. In the haptic‐based training syst...

A new learning strategy is proposed for training of radial basis functions (RBF) network. We apply two different local optimization methods to update the output weights in training process, the gradient method and a combination of the gradient and Newton methods. Numerical results obtained in solving nonlinear integral equations show the excellent performance of the combined gradient method in ...

OBJECTIVES Rheumatological conditions are common and all health professionals (HPs) therefore need sufficient knowledge and skills to manage patients safely and effectively. The aim of this study was to examine current undergraduate education in rheumatology for HPs in the UK. METHODS A questionnaire was sent to curriculum organizers and clinical placement officers for all undergraduate cours...

I conduct a comparative study of different techniques (standard backprop, complementary reinforcement backprop, NEAT) for training a recurrent neural net on a difficult problem. I contribute an additional layer of strategy by offering the net access to expert algorithms, which can provide domain knowledge about the task at hand. My hypothesis was that learning how to make use of this expert kno...

Recent studies have shown that experts in military tactical command treat decision making as a problemsolving process. Experts have large collections of schemas, enabling them to recognise a large number of situations as familiar. Another capacity of experts are their problem solving skills if an immediate match between the actual problem situation and available schemas in memory cannot be esta...

Researchers and scientists have been using crowdsourcing platforms to collect labeled training data in recent years. The process is cost-effective and scalable, but research has shown that the quality of truth inference is unstable due to worker bias, work variance, and task difficulty. In this demonstration, we present a hybrid system, named IDLE (Integrated Data Labeling Engine), that brings ...
