Contemporary teaching and learning approaches expect students -at any level of educationto be active producers of knowledge. This leads to the need for creation of instructional strategies, learning environments and tasks that can offer students opportunities for active learning. Research argues that one of the most meaningful and engaging forms of active learning is modelling, that is using co...

medicinal chemistry depends on many other disciplines ranging from organic chemistry andpharmacology to computational chemistry. typically medicinal chemists use the moststraightforward ways to prepare compounds. the validation of any design project comes from thebiological testing.studies of the binding site of vinblastine by a single cross—linking experiment identified it asbeing between resi...

A Chinese character embedded in different compound words may carry different meanings. In this paper, we aim at semantic clustering of a given family of morphologically related Chinese words. In Experiment 1, we employed linguistic features at the word, syntactic, semantic, and contextual levels in aggregated computational linguistics methods to handle the clustering task. In Experiment 2, we r...

This paper presents the outline of experiments with a behaviourbased computational model of creativity in design called Creative Design Situations . This model aims to allow the study of social creativity through the computational implementation of a community of creative design agents. 1. Studies of Creativity Whilst the study of creativity in general has been a topic of interest in various di...

When a set of people interact frequently with one another, they often grow to think more and more along the same lines, a phenomenon we call “collective cognitive convergence” (C). We discuss instances of C and why it is advantageous or disadvantageous; review previous work in sociology, computational social science, and evolutionary biology that sheds light on C; define a computational model f...

When the same people interact frequently, they come to think alike, a phenomenon we call “collective cognitive convergence” (C). We discuss instances and practical consequences of this phenomenon; review previous work in sociology, computational social science, and evolutionary biology that sheds light on C; define a computational model and metrics for the convergence process; report on experim...
