Using Learning Decomposition To Analyze Instructional Effectiveness In The ASSISTment System
This paper presents a study determining the relative efficacy of different instructional content by applying an educational data mining technique, learning decomposition.

What Were You Thinking? Filling in Missing Dataflow Through Inference in Learning from Demonstration
This paper addresses the problem of learning from demonstrations involving unobservable (e.g., mental) actions. We explore the use of knowledge base inference to complete missing dataflow and investigate the approach in the context of the CALO cognitive personal desktop assistant.

Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online-Learning Studies
This finding suggests that the positive effects associated with blended learning should not be attributed to the media, per se.

From Geek to Sleek: Integrating Task Learning Tools to Support End Users in Real-World Applications
We present an integrated task learning system (ITL) that learns executable procedures based on user demonstration and instruction, constituting a first step toward a broader solution for procedure management.

Learning By Demonstration to Support Military Planning and Decision Making
We describe the development and application of learning by demonstration technology to support user creation of automated procedures for a rich collaborative planning environment that is in widespread use by the U.S. Army.

Malware Characterization Through Alert Pattern Discovery
We present a novel alert correlation approach based on the factor analysis statistical technique for malware characterization. Our approach involves mechanically computing a set of abstract quantities, called factors, for expressing the intrusion detection system (IDS) alerts pertaining to malware instances.

Multiple Roles for Nicotine in Parkinson’s Disease
Extensive studies in parkinsonian animals show that nicotine protects against nigrostriatal damage, findings that may explain the well-established decline in Parkinson’s disease incidence with tobacco use.

Reasoning About Resources and Hierarchical Tasks Using OWL and SWRL
We describe our novel ways of using SWRL and discuss its limitations as well as extensions to it that we found necessary or desirable.

Robotic Laser Tissue Welding of Sclera Using Chitosan Films
In this preliminary study chitosan film successfully closed scleral lacerations with and without the application of laser energy.

Stanford-UBC at TAC-KBP
This paper describes the joint Stanford-UBC knowledge base population system. We developed several entity linking systems based on frequencies of backlinks, training on contexts of anchors, overlap of context with the text of the entity in Wikipedia.

Subject-Matched Templates for Spatial Normalization
Here, we introduce the concept of subject-matched templates. Rather than using a single template for the entire population, a different template is used for every subject, with the template matched to the subject in terms of age, sex, and potentially other parameters (e.g., disease).

Temperature Dependence of the Vibrational Relaxation of OH(u = 1 and 2) By CO2
Measurements of vibrational energy transfer probabilities are presented for the temperature range 205–360 °K for HF–DF, HF–CO2, and DF–CO2 gas mixtures.
