UCE-FID: Using Large Unlabeled, Medium Crowdsourced-Labeled, and Small Expert-Labeled Tweets for Foodborne Illness Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Foodborne illnesses significantly impact public health. Deep learning surveillance applications using social media data aim to detect early warning signals. However, labeling foodborne illness-related tweets for model training requires extensive human resources, making it challenging to collect a sufficient number of high-quality labels for tweets ...

Undergrad classroom cooperation and academic performance: Beneficial for real-world-like problems but detrimental for algebra-based problems [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Phys. Educ. Res. 16, 010137 (2020), 2019 For several decades, scholars have studied cooperation and its outcomes in the educational context. Yet, we lack a complete understanding of how different instructional strategies impact the relationship between cooperation and learning. Here we studied how different instructional strategies led to different social configurations and their differences ...

Methods of Solving Ill-Posed Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Many physical problems can be formulated as operator equations of the form Au = f. If these operator equations are ill-posed, we then resort to finding the approximate solutions numerically. Ill-posed problems can be found in the fields of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, geophysics, medicine, tomography, technology and ecology.
