While it remains a central reference for work in computational creativity, Boden’s exploration/transformation model can be interpreted as having different meanings at the application level. As a result, programmers developing creative systems may have difficulty in realising the theory’s practical value. The paper develops a formalisation which recasts the key elements in quantitative terms whi...

The Shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) method [1] was developed as an alternative to direct diagonalization in order to study low-energy nuclear properties. It was successfully applied to nuclear problems where large model spaces made diagonalization impractical. One calculates the thermal canonical expectation values of observables of few-body operators by representing the imaginary-time many-body...

The current study examined the impact of video-based conversational interaction on the longitudinal development (one academic semester) of second language (L2) production by collegelevel Japanese English-as-a-foreign-language learners. Students in the experimental group engaged in weekly, dyadic conversation exchanges with native speakers in the US via telecommunication tools, wherein the nativ...

After some background on lattices, the locality framework introduced in earlier work by authors is extended to cover posets and lattices. We then extend correspondence between Euclidean structures vector spaces orthogonal complementations a one-one class of orthocomplementations bounded This recasts context renormalisation classical results lattice theory.

This study investigated the effects of corrective feedback (CF) on the acquisition of English prepositions to find out which one would be more effective for third-grade high school learners in their grammar performance. This study also examined declarative and interrogative recasts to see which one the participants preferred to improve their grammar performance. To this end,75 out of 130 female...
