Unsupervised learning can be used to extract image representations that are useful for various and diverse vision tasks. After noticing that most biological vision systems for int...
The cluster assumption is exploited by most semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods. However, if the unlabeled data is merely weakly related to the target classes, it becomes quest...
This paper describes the Mediating Agent, an animated pedagogical agent inserted in a computational system for distance learning, which has the goal of motivating the student to le...
Many individual instructors--and, in some cases, entire universities--are gravitating towards the use of comprehensive learning management systems (LMSs), such as Blackboard and M...
