Theorizing The Transformed Classroom: A Sociocultural Interpretation Of The Effects Of Audience Response Systems In Higher Education
This paper explores the theoretical framework needed to explain observed effects of classrooms in which instructors use audience response systems. We propose a sociocultural reinterpretation of the networked classroom in which learning is described as a process of transforming participation in classroom activities.

Multitask Learning for Spoken Language Understanding
In this paper, we present a multitask learning (MTL) method for intent classification in goal oriented human-machine spoken dialog systems. MTL aims at training tasks in parallel while using a shared representation.

Escherichia coli K-12: a cooperatively developed annotation snapshot 2005
The goal of this group project has been to coordinate and bring up-to-date information on all genes of Escherichia coli K-12. Annotation of the genome of an organism entails identification of genes, the boundaries of genes in terms of precise start and end sites, and description of the gene products.
