Learning the Past Tense of English Verbs Using Inductive Logic Programming

. This paper presents results on using a new inductive logic programming method called Foidl to learn the past tense of English verbs. The past tense task has been widely studied in the context of the symbolic/connectionist debate. Previous papers have presented results using various neural-network and decision-tree learning methods. We have developed a technique for learning a special type of Prolog program called a first-order decision list, defined as an ordered list of clauses each ending in a cut. Foidl is based on Foil [19] but employs intensional background knowledge and avoids the need for explicit negative examples. It is particularly useful for problems that involve rules with specific exceptions, such as the past-tense task. We present results showing that Foidl learns a more accurate past-tense generator from significantly fewer examples than all previous methods. 1 Introduction The problem of learning the past tense of English verbs has been widely studied as an interesti..

Poetry in Action: Understanding Experiences, Perceptions, and Impacts of PIA in Secondary Schools: Research Report. Part 2, Schools

Poetry in Action is an Australian touring theatre group that has worked for fifteen years delivering intense, high-energy performance-based programs to schools around Australia and beyond. Poetry in Action aims to evoke joy and wonder, bring poetry to life, inspire and complement the work of teachers. In its emphasis on the vocal elements and musicality of poetry, and on embodiment and physicality in poetic expression, Poetry in Action provides more dynamic entry points to poetic language and form than students usually experience in text-based study of poetry. This mixed method research evaluates the impact of PIA on artists, teachers and students in the diverse secondary schools that PIA reaches. Report 2: Schools draws on a national survey with teachers and interviews with PIA artists to explore what schools value most and identify those factors that are barriers to delivery and quality of impact. Clearer insights into PIA's value to schools informs recommendations based on how teachers currently incorporate PIA shows into teaching and learning in their schools and how this might be strengthened to further increase and diversify the impact of PIA in secondary schools

Poetry in Action: Understanding Experiences, Perceptions, and Impacts of PIA in Secondary Schools: Research Report. Part 1, Artists

Poetry in Action is a theatre in education (TIE) company that has worked with schools around Australia for more than fifteen years, and apart from repeat bookings and anecdotal responses, little is known about the impact of PIA on teaching and learning in the schools that it has reached. In the arts industry, PIA provides employment to a range of artists, ranging from new graduates from theatre courses to industry experts. The research investigates experiences, perceptions, and impacts of PIA in Australian schools and in the arts industry. Report 1: Artists focuses on the interviews held with artists, particularly the themes of artists' practices, artists' professional capacity-building and artists' career development

016— Quality of College Students’ Close Peer Relationships

This study compares the quality of different types of college students’ relationships: same-sex (SS) friendships, other-sex (OS) friendships, and romantic relationships. Previous research by Hand and Furman (2009) indicated that adolescents perceived their OS friendships as less supportive than both their SS friendships and romantic relationships. Adolescents also perceived their OS friendships as having less conflict than their romantic relationships. The current study attempts to replicate these findings with college students, who tend to have more time and opportunity to develop close OS friendships. In addition, we examine the power dynamic in these relationships, as well as several factors of each type of relationship, including length of the current relationship and previous experience with each type of relationship
