Training: intractable likelihood likelihood needed for MCMC; grid MRF intractable due to global normalization. Solution: pseudo-likelihood approximation, locally normalized: p(y|f) = ∏P p=1 p(yp|yp+1 . . . yP , f) ≈ ∏P p=1 p(yp|neighbours(p), f) Prediction: intractable marginals Pixel-wise MAP intractable in grid MRF. Solution: Obtain approximate marginals using treereweighted belief propagatio...

Modem science has been built qn a Cartesian or Newtonian (mechanical) world view giving rise to an artifactual view of mind and suggesting that particles (learners) are continuously working to destroy order (are recalcitrant), which can only be maintained by an external artificer (the teacher).

Self-efficacy is the belief that someone can do work successfully. The study purposes to explore whether collaborative task-based instruction (TBI) empower EFL self-efficacy? uses a critical review, content analysis, and interpretation regarding five perspectives namely in terms (1) cognitive-interactionist, (2) psycholinguistics, (3) sociocultural, (4) psychological, (5) educational. results n...

Based on a widely held belief that immersion provides the best language learning opportunities, a large number of Asian students go to English-speaking countries to improve their English language skills. These strongly motivated learners arrive in a new country with a bag of expectations, learner beliefs, and imaginations about the new community they are about to enter. However, learners are of...
