Video retrieval can be done by ranking the samples according to their probability scores that were produced by classifiers. It is often possible to improve the retrieval performance by re-ranking the samples. In this paper, we proposed such a method and we combined this method with active learning for video indexing. Experimental results showed that the proposed re-ranking method was able to im...

Cooperative/collaborative/team learning is an active learning technique in which students work and learn together in pairs or small groups to accomplish shared goals. The sites in this section offer information for faculty about getting started with instructional groups, designing group assignments, and using groups successfully. There is also a section designed for students, offering specific ...

The development of ICT has emerged a new way of learning using electronic platforms: E-learning. In addition, pedagogical approaches have been adopted in teaching based on group learning, such as the project-based teaching. The project-based teaching is an active learning method, based on group work to develop skills and acquire knowledge. However, the group of students is facing several challe...

A survey of existing methods for stopping active learning (AL) reveals the needs for methods that are: more widely applicable; more aggressive in saving annotations; and more stable across changing datasets. A new method for stopping AL based on stabilizing predictions is presented that addresses these needs. Furthermore, stopping methods are required to handle a broad range of different annota...

Human adults can acquire word-referent pairs from a short series of individually ambiguous situations containing multiple words and referents (Yu & Smith, 2007). Cross-situational statistical learning is sufficient for learners to passively acquire word-object pairs, as long as words co-occur with their correct referent multiple times in different contexts. However, learners in the real world a...

We present a pointwise approach to Japanese morphological analysis (MA) that ignores structure information during learning and tagging. Despite the lack of structure, it is able to outperform the current state-of-the-art structured approach for Japanese MA, and achieves accuracy similar to that of structured predictors using the same feature set. We also find that the method is both robust to o...

This paper presents a multi-year study of students’ perception associated with the introduction of a technology tool, personal response systems, starting from its initial stage to date. The goal is to provide a reflective perspective of this topic that intertwines the instructor’s and students’ views associated with the adoption of a technology tool that addresses Millennia’s need for quick fee...

This study examines the evidence for the effectiveness of active learning. It defines the common forms of active learning most relevant for engineering faculty and critically examines the core element of each method. It is found that there is broad but uneven support for the core elements of active, collaborative, cooperative and problem-based learning.
