On the benefit of logic-based approach to learn pairwise comparisons

In recent years, many daily processes such as internet web searching, e-mail filtering, social media services, e-commerce have benefited from Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The implementation of ML techniques has been largely focused on black box methods where the general conclusions are not easily interpretable. Hence, the elaboration with other declarative software models to identify the correctness and completeness of the models is not easy to perform. On the other hand, the emerge of some logic-based machine learning approaches that can overcome such limitations with their white box methods has been proven to be well-suited for many software engineering tasks. In this paper, we propose the use of a logic-based approach to learn user preference in the form of pairwise comparisons. APARELL as a novel approach of inductive learning is able to model the user’s preferences in Description Logic(DL) and then build a model by generalising the concept for all examples given. This offers a rich, relational representation beyond the usual propositional domain, which is then can be used to produce a set of recommendations. A user study has been performed in our experiment to evaluate the implementation of pairwise preference recommender system when compared to a standard list interface. The result of the experiment shows that the pairwise interface was significantly better than the other interface in many ways

Evaluation of Disaster Course Learning Methods in the Academic Phase of Medical Education Study Program

This study was designed to evaluate students and lecturer perceptions of the learning methods used in Disaster Course. A qualitative cross-sectional descriptive study with focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted. Twenty students and eight Disaster’s lecturers in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Ahmad Dahlan participated in the study. The results showed that students have different perceptions from lectures. Students assessed the learning methods used are less effective due to their role as a passive learner. While the lectures assessed the effectiveness of their teaching methods varied according their ability to teach in large classes.&nbsp

KECEMASAN DAN KEMAMPUAN ANALOGI MATEMATIS DALAM MODEL PEMBELAJARAN TREFFINGER BERDASARKAN KEPRIBADIAN

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur tingkat kecemasan dan kemampuan analogi matematis siswa dalam pembelajaran menggunakan model treffinger berdasarkan kepribadian mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan melibatkan 39 orang siswa MTsN 1 Aceh Tengah kelas VII. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari tes analogi, angket kecemasan, dan angket kepribadian siswa. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji t dan uji Mann-Whitney. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan diketahui bahwa terdapat 23 siswa dengan kepribadian ekstrovert dan 16 siswa dengan kepribadian introvert. Setelah diterapkan model pembelajaran treffinger, diketahui bahwa siswa berada pada tingkat kecemasan matematis sedang dengan rentang , dan tidak terdapat perbedaan kecemasan matematis antara siswa dengan kepribadian ekstrovert dan introvert. Pada kemampuan analogi matematis, terdapat perbedaan kemampuan antara siswa dengan kepribadian ekstrovert dan introvert. Siswa dengan kepribadian ekstrovert menguasai semua tahapan encoding, infering, mapping, dan applying, sedangkan siswa dengan kepribadian introvert hanya menguasai tahapan encoding, infering dan applying.The purpose of this study was to measure the level of anxiety and mathematical analogy ability of students in learning using the treffinger model based on their personality. This research is a quantitative research involving 39 students of MTsN 1 Aceh Tengah class VII. The data in this study were obtained from analogy tests, anxiety questionnaires, and student personality questionnaires. The analysis was performed using the t test and the Mann-Whitney test.
