Deep Generative Multimedia Children's Literature [PDF]
Artistic work leveraging Machine Learning techniques is an increasingly popular endeavour for those with a creative lean. However, most work is done in a single domain: text, images, music, etc. In this work, I design a system for a machine learning created multimedia experience, specifically in the genre of children's literature. We detail the process

Methods for working with problem residents in medical physics residency education
Abstract Medical physics residency training programs may occasionally encounter residents requiring additional intervention beyond normal training efforts. In the literature, these residents are referred to as “problem” residents. While the physician literature on the subject is valuable, this paper specifically focuses on dealing with a problem ...

Social Engagement of Children with Autism during Interaction with a Robot [PDF]
Imitation plays an important role in development, being one of the precursors of social cognition. Even though some children with autism imitate spontaneously and other children with autism can learn to imitate, the dynamics of imitation is affected in the large majority of cases.

Stochastic Gradient Descent Captures How Children Learn About Physics [PDF]
As children grow older, they develop an intuitive understanding of the physical processes around them. They move along developmental trajectories, which have been mapped out extensively in previous empirical research. We investigate how children's developmental trajectories compare to the learning trajectories of artificial systems.

Enumerations of vertices among all rooted ordered trees with levels and degrees [PDF]
In this paper we enumerate and give bijections for the following four sets of vertices among rooted ordered trees of a fixed size: (i) first-children of degree $k$ at level $\ell$, (ii) non-first-children of degree $k$ at level $\ell-1$, (iii) leaves having $k-1$ elder siblings at level $\ell$, and (iv) non-leaves of outdegree $k$ at level $\ell-1 ...

Transfer Learning from Adult to Children for Speech Recognition: Evaluation, Analysis and Recommendations [PDF]
Children speech recognition is challenging mainly due to the inherent high variability in children's physical and articulatory characteristics and expressions. This variability manifests in both acoustic constructs and linguistic usage due to the rapidly changing developmental stage in children's life.
