Many universities teach computer language handling by mainly focussing on compiler theory, although MDD (model-driven development) and meta-modelling are increasingly important in the software industry as well as in computer science. In this article, we share some experiences from teaching a course in computer language handling where the focus is on MDD principles. We discuss the choice of tool...

o the best of our knowledge, medical ethics is not taught as a separate subject in Indian medical colleges. St John's Medical College has a programme.for teaching medical ethics to its undergraduate students. We describe here the structure of our programme, the syllabus and the teaching methodology. ite feel that we have an effective way of teaching medical ethics at vur medical college and wou...

Previous teaching models in the learning theory community have been batch models. That is, in these models the teacher has generated a single set of helpful examples to present to the learner. In this paper we present an interactive model in which the learner has the ability to ask queries as in the query learning model of Angluin [1]. We show that this model is at least as powerful as previous...

This paper describes work in progress on developing a set of templates that represent common data modelling situations encountered in designing databases, as a teaching resource for undergraduate students. Introduction A well-designed database is an essential component of most if not all information systems. Data modelling is therefore one of the most useful practical skills a graduate can take...

Comprehensive evaluation of PE teaching is always one the of difficulties of teaching management for universities; This paper, on the basis of analyzing the fuzzy features of teaching evaluation, puts forward fuzzy evaluation model of PE teaching. The model first discards the defects of traditional evaluation methods which always neglect the specific characteristics of PE teaching, instead, tak...

this paper studies the physics teaching model design for college students, takes students’ seriousness as a criterion, and explores whether using the physics model is conductive to helping students learn seriously. To take hopfield as an example, the paper elaborates the teaching model design process in detail. After receiving the investigation feedback from students, students' acceptance of th...

The trimming scheme with a prefixed cutoff portion is known as a method of improving the robustness of statistical models such as multivariate Gaussian mixture models (MGMMs) in small scale tests by alleviating the impacts of outliers. However, when this method is applied to realworld data, such as noisy speech processing, it is hard to know the optimal cut-off portion to remove the outliers an...

The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and Bayesian maximum a-posteriori (MAP) adaptation methods for Gaussian mixture models (GMM) have proven to be effective and efficient for speaker verification, even though each speaker model is trained using only his own training utterances. Discriminative criteria aim at increasing discriminability by using out-of-class data. In this paper, we consider ...
