Multiple studies have reported clearly inferior cancer-related outcomes in minority populations.1 Stage at diagnosis and differences in treatment have been cited as the most important explanatory factors. Some research has evaluated the psychosocial elements of this association; however, the influence of language has not previously been evaluated.1 Patients who do not have English as a preferre...

Since the 1950s, when Chomsky argued that Skinner's arguments could not explain syntactic acquisition, psychologists have generally avoided explicitly invoking operant or instrumental conditioning as a learning mechanism for language among human children. In this article, we argue that this is a mistake. We focus on research that has been done on language learning in human infants and toddlers ...

As data analytics becomes mainstream, and the complexity of the underlying data and computation grows, end-users will increasingly rely on visualizations to present simplified statistics that summarizes interesting properties in the data. It is even more important to provide tools that help analysts understand the underlying reasons when they see anomalous results. We envision adding a new expl...

Our long term interest is in building inference algorithms capable of answering questions and producing human-readable explanations by aggregating information from multiple sources and knowledge bases. Currently information aggregation (also referred to as “multi-hop inference”) is challenging for more than two facts due to “semantic drift”, or the tendency for natural language inference algori...

This study explores how instructors view the current state of English medium instruction (EMI) in terms existence EMI engineering courses, influences instructor motivations, and motivation constructs influence intrinsic to teach courses. Explanatory variables regarding motivations included use Korean language (L1) when teaching teacher self-efficacy, anxiety, perceived student benefits for acqu...
