Direct Feedback Alignment With Sparse Connections for Local Learning [PDF]
Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) owe their success to training algorithms that use backpropagation and gradient-descent. Backpropagation, while highly effective on von Neumann architectures, becomes inefficient when scaling to large ...

Recasts vs. direct corrective feedback on writing performance of high school EFL learners
There might always be errors during the learning process which need correction; accordingly, providing corrective feedback is critical. However, the various types of feedback applied during classes affect the learning and teaching process.

Comparative Effects of Direct and Metalinguistic Computer-Mediated Feedback on L2 Learners’ Writing Ability and Willingness-to-Write [PDF]
The present study investigated the probable effects of asynchronous direct and metalinguistic computer-mediated corrective feedback (CMCF) on the writing ability (WA) and willingness-to-write (WTW) of upper-intermediate L2 learners.
