In this paper we consider the complexity of learning monotone DNF formulae and Boolean circuits in an exact learning model called the teaching assistant model. This model, introduced in one of our earlier works, uses teaching assistant classes for classifying learning problems. Teaching assistant classes are a learning-theoretic analog of complexity classes. We show that monotone DNFs are learn...

SPOC is characterized by improving teaching effectiveness. Currently open teaching mode is the popular trend, which is mainly related to several aspects: how to carry out teaching practice by using MOOC proprietary, high-quality online teaching resources in open education, that is, deep integration of curriculum resources and teaching design. On the basis of SPOC development, combined with open...

The aim of this article is to solve teaching quality evaluation problems within higher education institutions. However, the evaluation process includes complex analysis of teaching resources and the learning environment. As a result, it is very difficult to evaluate teaching quality accurately and quantitatively. The research carried out quantitatively analyses and evaluates the quality of teac...

The process of developing and testing a teaching model in teaching statistical concepts at the introductory level is discussed. The model comprised three components, provision of supplementary notes, working in pairs and teaching concepts in worked examples, which were tested using a 2 randomised factorial block design with confounding. The development of the teaching model is supported by an i...

Teaching is inextricably linked to learning, and there are many studies on the complexity of teaching as well as learning in computational learning theory. In this paper, we study the complexity of teaching in the situation that the number of examples is restricted, especially less than its teaching dimension. We formulate a model of teaching by a restricted number of examples, where the comple...

Community development is generally considered to be a core component of social work practice and knowledge. Yet much professional social work education and discourse seems to relegate community development to the margins. This paper critically analyses the development of a community development subject within one particular Australian social work course. Particular attention is drawn to subject...

Teaching evaluation plays a key role for universities to improve its teaching quality and becomes a hotspot research field for related researchers. The paper takes university English teaching for example and presents a new model for evaluating English course teaching based on improved BP neural network. Firstly an evaluation indicator system of university English teaching is designed through an...

This paper describes a discriminative approach that further advances the framework for Weighted Finite State Transducer (WFST) based decoding. The approach introduces additional linear models for adjusting the scores of a decoding graph composed of conventional information source models (e.g., hidden Markov models and N -gram models), and reviews the WFSTbased decoding process as a linear class...
