Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm which simulates the teaching-learning process of the class room is one of the recently proposed swarm intelligent (SI) algorithms. In this paper, a new TLBO variant called bare-bones teaching-learning-based optimization (BBTLBO) is presented to solve the global optimization problems. In this method, each learner of teacher phase employs an i...

The main aim of the project is to develop a new efficient optimization method, called „Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)‟, for the optimization of mechanical design problems. The process of TLBO is divided into two parts. The first part consists of the „Teacher Phase‟ and the second part consists of the „Learner Phase‟. „Teacher Phase‟ means learning from the teacher and „Learner Phas...

In this paper, we consider the problem of machine teaching, the inverse problem of machine learning. Different from traditional machine teaching which views the learners as batch algorithms, we study a new paradigm where the learner uses an iterative algorithm and a teacher can feed examples sequentially and intelligently based on the current performance of the learner. We show that the teachin...

We present a new algorithm for eecient learning of regular languages from examples and queries. A reliable teacher who knows the unknown regular grammar G (or is able to determine if certain strings are accepted by the grammar) will guide the learner in achieving the goal of inferring an equivalent grammar G. The teacher provides the learner with a structurally complete set of positive examples...

Learner autonomy has been introduced to English language teaching and learning for a very long time. Yet, there are many education practitioners who not aware of this concept, pre-service teachers, or what we can call future teachers exceptions. This study was aimed investigate teachers’ practice in fostering learner during programs. A survey questionnaire employed 78 majoring the Education Pro...

Generally Teaching is delivered by a teacher to enhance the amount of learning learner. To make more meaningful, understandable and fruitful learner, effectiveness teaching very essential condition. This concept teaching-learning process not exceptional one in case development training institutions. Empowered teachers are given encouragement support necessary take risks engage Continuous Profes...

Although learner-centeredness has been widely applied in instruction in the world, this approach has only been cautiously adopted in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching at some institutions in Vietnam. Taking a social constructivist view, this case study explores how a learner-centred perspective is employed in EFL teaching at a teacher training college in Vietnam. The study is based o...
