Learning Based Genetic Algorithm for Task Graph Scheduling by Habib Izadkhah

“…This paper presents a learner genetic algorithm (denoted by LAGA) to address static scheduling for processors in homogenous computing systems. For this purpose, we proposed two learning criteria named Steepest Ascent Learning Criterion and Next Ascent Learning Criterion where we use the concepts of penalty and reward for learning. …”

Mind over matter: consistency monitoring and domain-specific learning by Igor Bascandziev, Adani Abutto, Caren M. Walker, Elizabeth Bonawitz

“…For example, young children who believe that air does not occupy space also believe that balloons are filled up with air. Here, we asked if an ability to explicitly notice inconsistencies among statements is associated with a more mature understanding of the physical world.MethodWe tested 100 children who received a Physics Interview, a battery of Executive Functioning measures, a Cognitive Reflection measure, and a Consistency Monitoring measure.Results and discussionWe found that Consistency Monitoring is associated with Physics Understanding, even when controlling for Age, Executive Functioning, and Cognitive Reflection. …”

A New Multiphase Soft Segmentation with Adaptive Variants by Hongyuan Wang, Fuhua Chen, Yunmei Chen

“…But the membership functions are usually sensitive to noise. In this paper, we propose a multiphase soft segmentation model for nearly piecewise constant images based on stochastic principle, where pixel intensities are modeled as random variables with mixed Gaussian distribution. …”

Role of Municipal Council in Increasing Citizen Participation at the Local Budget Process by Memet Memeti, Veli Kreci

“…The paper explores the role of the municipal councilors in the budget process in the Republic of Macedonia as well as their role in motivating citizen participation in the budgetary process in the Republic of Macedonia. We demonstrate that municipalities in the Republic of Macedonia employ various forms of participatory mechanisms in the process of public policies and budgets according to their context. …”
