In this paper a new method for knowledge extraction was presented. First, the relational knowledge representation with all crucial definitions was introduced. Second, problem statement for knowledge acquisition using relational knowledge representation was formulated. Then the modified coverage strategy was proposed. At the end a benchmark problem was considered and results were presented.

Cognitive social capital (e.g., norms/values, trust, reciprocity), is expected to contribute to project success. However, the manner in which this occurs has not received much attention. Using data from Ghana we provide findings on the contributions of cognitive social capital to project success by way of knowledge acquisition and exploitation.

This paper presents a learnable representation for real-world planning systems. This representation is a significant extension of the ones used in the most recent systems from the Disciple family, the Disciple-Workaround system for plan generation, and the Disciple-COA system for plan critiquing. This representation is defined to support an integration of domain modeling, knowledge acquisition,...

GPS-based pedestrian navigation systems have become more and more popular in recent years. This paper reports a work in progress on investigating the differences of spatial knowledge acquisition with different interface technologies in the context of GPS-based pedestrian navigation. The acquisition of spatial knowledge based on mobile map, augmented reality, and voice is analysed and compared i...

This study investigated the influences of learning styles/preferences, prior computer skills and experience with online courses on adult learners’ knowledge acquisition in a web-based special education course. Forty-six adult learners who enrolled in a web-based special education course participated in the study. The results of the study showed that (a) learning styles/preferences had significa...

Empirical research and theoretical treatments of conceptual change have paid little attention to the distinction between knowledge and belief. The distinction implies that conceptual change involves both knowledge acquisition and belief revision, and highlights the need to consider the reasons that beliefs are held. We argue that the effects of prior beliefs on conceptual learning depends upon ...

The EDULAN project focuses in the field of Computer Assisted Learning and aims to generalize and translate to web-oriented technologies some results obtained previously on the Intelligent Tutoring Systems area. Particularly, four complementary research lines are being considered: knowledge acquisition tools for building Intelligent Tutoring Systems; adaptative and Web-oriented teaching/learning...

This chapter presents results from a meta-analysis that compares the effectiveness of Web-based instruction (WBI) to classroom instruction (CI). The results suggest that when the same instructional methods are used, WBI and CI are equally effective for teaching declarative knowledge. However, the instructional methods and course design features incorporated in WBI are critical factors in determ...

The problem that ontology learning deals with is the knowledge acquisition bottleneck, that is to say the difficulty to actually model the knowledge relevant to the domain of interest. Ontologies are the vehicle by which we can model and share the knowledge among various applications in a specific domain. So many research developed several ontology learning approaches and systems. In this paper...
