A revolution is brewing: observations of TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system fosters a new biomarker [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The recent discovery of seven potentially habitable Earth-size planets around the ultra-cool star TRAPPIST-1 has further fueled the hunt for extraterrestrial life. Current methods focus on closely monitoring the host star to look for biomarkers in the transmission signature of exoplanet's atmosphere.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda: Counterfactually-Guided Policy Search [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Learning policies on data synthesized by models can in principle quench the thirst of reinforcement learning algorithms for large amounts of real experience, which is often costly to acquire. However, simulating plausible experience de novo is a hard problem for many complex environments, often resulting in biases for model-based policy evaluation and ...

From silence to academic engagement: How refugee children with disabilities access learning through inclusive ‘artful’ schools in Canada

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many newcomer children spend a ‘silent year’ in elementary school classrooms while they adjust to a new culture and language. This often delays inclusion in learning and forming friendships with peers. For refugee children with disabilities (RCDs) this phase may last for 3 years or more, impacting their mental health and sense of belonging ...

Generalization without systematicity: On the compositional skills of sequence-to-sequence recurrent networks [PDF]

Lake, B. M. and Baroni, M. (2018). Generalization without systematicity: On the compositional skills of sequence-to-sequence recurrent networks. International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2017
Humans can understand and produce new utterances effortlessly, thanks to their compositional skills. Once a person learns the meaning of a new verb "dax," he or she can immediately understand the meaning of "dax twice" or "sing and dax." In this paper, we introduce the SCAN domain, consisting of a set of simple compositional navigation commands paired ...

Redefining thirst: A conceptual four-compartment model characterising types of thirst, and their underlying mechanisms and interactions

, 2020
Currently, the conceptualisation of thirst is based nearly entirely on osmoregulation, with some acknowledgement of anticipatory-thirst, though with no testable mechanism. Such a model of thirst is unable to explain many thirst-related phenomena, such as

The five‐year itch: Motivational factors that influence the career decisions of early career teachers in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Teacher retention in England continues to be in a state of decline, with early career teachers (ECTs) most at risk of leaving the profession. High attrition rates create an unstable and unsustainable workforce, which negatively affects the educational development of young people. The purpose of this paper was to explore the career‐related push
