Pen and Paper Exercises in Machine Learning [PDF]
This is a collection of (mostly) pen-and-paper exercises in machine learning. The exercises are on the following topics: linear algebra, optimisation, directed graphical models, undirected graphical models, expressive power of graphical models, factor graphs and message passing, inference for hidden Markov models, model-based learning (including ICA ...

Learning from Partially Annotated Data: Example-aware Creation of Gap-filling Exercises for Language Learning [PDF]
Since performing exercises (including, e.g., practice tests) forms a crucial component of learning, and creating such exercises requires non-trivial effort from the teacher, there is a great value in automatic exercise generation in digital tools in education.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Study protocol: a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of exercise training on peripheral blood gene expression in patients with stable angina [PDF]
Background: Exercise training has been shown to reduce angina and promote collateral vessel development in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the mechanism whereby exercise exerts these beneficial effects is unclear.

Timely Feedback in Unstructured Cybersecurity Exercises [PDF]
Cyber defence exercises are intensive, hands-on learning events for teams of professionals who gain or develop their skills to successfully prevent and respond to cyber attacks. The exercises mimic the real-life, routine operation of an organization which is being attacked by an unknown offender.

Knowledge Graph Enhanced Intelligent Tutoring System Based on Exercise Representativeness and Informativeness [PDF]
Presently, knowledge graph-based recommendation algorithms have garnered considerable attention among researchers. However, these algorithms solely consider knowledge graphs with single relationships and do not effectively model exercise-rich features, such as exercise representativeness and informativeness.

Can Exercise Mimetics Substitute for Exercise? [PDF]
Exercise leads to changes in muscle phenotype with important implications for exercise performance and health. A recent paper in Cell by Narkar et al. (2008) shows that many of the adaptations in muscle phenotype elicited by exercise can be mimicked by genetic manipulation and drug treatment in mice.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
