Curriculum Materials Make a Difference for Next Generation Science Learning: Results from Year 1 of a Randomized Controlled Trial (Updated December 2014)
In the study, middle school science teachers who used curriculum materials that presented opportunities for students to engage in science practices improved their students’ performance on next generation science assessments.

HTLV-1-Infected CD4+ T-Cells Display Alternative Exon Usages That Culminate in Adult T-Cell Leukemia
We hypothesized that besides quantitative transcriptional effects, HTLV-1 qualitatively modifies the pattern of cellular gene expression.

Conservative Groupoids Recognize Only Regular Languages
The notion of recognition of a language by a finite semigroup can be generalized to recognition by finite groupoids, i.e. sets equipped with a binary operation ‘⋅’ which is not necessarily associative.

Peer Status among Incarcerated Female Offenders: Associations with Social Behavior and Adjustment
Using a peer nomination technique in a sample of incarcerated females, our study is the first to examine the association between peer status and psychopathology in a correctional facility.

The association of injury with substance use disorder among women of reproductive age: an opportunity to address a major contributor to recurrent preventable emergency department visits?
The goals of this study were to describe and compare the prevalence of patterns of injury requiring emergency department visits and to investigate the association of specific categories of injury with type of substance used.

Bilingual Recurrent Neural Networks for Improved Statistical Machine Translation
In SMT, we investigate using bilingual word-aligned sentences to train a bilingual recurrent neural network model.

Comparative Analysis of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Requirements across a Range of Life Sciences Textbooks
(Previously) we showed that embedding the knowledge representation and question-answering abilities in an electronic textbook helped to engage student interest and improve learning. A natural question that arises from this success, and this paper’s primary focus, is whether a similar approach is applicable across a range of life science textbooks.

Embedded Fiber Optic Sensors for In Situ and In-Operando Monitoring of Advanced Batteries
This paper presents initial results from these prototype cells and compares the results from internal FO signals to earlier results reported by our team on purely external configurations where the FO sensors were attached to the cell skin.

SRI’s Professional Development Program Helps Math Teachers Improvise and Learn Argumentation Skills
As the Common Core State Standards are being rolled out nationwide, mathematical argumentation—the line of reasoning that shows or explains why a mathematical result is true—has become an important skill for math teachers and students alike. To teach argumentation skills to teachers and bridge the gap between professional development (PD) and classroom practice, SRI Education’s Center…

Footprints: A visual search tool that supports discovery and coverage tracking
We built a visual analytic tool called Footprints that uses multiple coordinated visualizations to help users navigate through the discoverage process.

Question Generation from a Knowledge Base
We present a technique for responding to natural language questions, by suggesting a series of questions that the system can actually answer. We also show that the suggested questions are useful in a variety of ways in an intelligent textbook to improve student learning.
