Assessing students' conceptual understanding using an online three‐tier diagnostic test

When solving a mathematical problem, students who do not have sufficient conceptual understanding may perform poorly and exhibit misconceptions. This study was aimed to examine students' conceptual understanding and significant misconceptions when solving number sense‐related problems. An online three‐tier diagnostic test was administered to 125 fifth‐grade students with varied socio‐economic backgrounds in Hong Kong. Only 14.40% of the students exhibited high performance with high confidence, indicating that these students had a profound conceptual understanding of number sense. In addition, the majority of the students (66.40%) did not demonstrate number sense; these students exhibited several significant misconceptions and could solve the questions only by using a rule‐based method or guessing. Accordingly, most students performed unsatisfactorily on number sense‐related problems. This study is imperative in identifying early predictors and provides information for further compatible interventions in the teaching and learning of number sense in Hong Kong in particular and worldwide in general.     

MOBSY: Integration of vision and dialogue in service robots

Abstract. This contribution introduces MOBSY, a fully integrated, autonomous mobile service robot system. It acts as an automatic dialogue-based receptionist for visitors to our institute. MOBSY incorporates many techniques from different research areas into one working stand-alone system. The techniques involved range from computer vision over speech understanding to classical robotics. Along with the two main aspects of vision and speech, we also focus on the integration aspect, both on the methodological and on the technical level. We describe the task and the techniques involved. Finally, we discuss the experiences that we gained with MOBSY during a live performance at our institute.     

An experiment for showing some kind of artificial understanding

In this paper we design an experiment which can be depicted as a simple scenario, a very limited 'world'. In this world, there are an actor that can pursue a project and an observer that is keeping its eyes on the actor. We try to show in the experiment that the observer can to some degree understand the actor based on its knowledge and some metaphors, i.e. understand what the actor is doing and why. As the conclusion of this experiment, we try to show some features of 'understanding'. These are (1) that 'understanding' has to be based on some preliminary knowledge; (2) that 'understanding' is a process of incremental learning; (3) that, as for symbolic systems, some metaphors are necessary for mapping real entities into concepts in mind.

语法和语义相结合的中文对话系统问题理解研究

针对中文口语问句的表达多样性对对话系统问题理解带来的挑战,该文采用“在语法结构之上获取语义知识”的设计理念,提出了一种语法和语义相结合的口语对话系统问题理解方法。首先人工编制了独立于领域和应用方向的语法知识库,进而通过句子压缩模块简化复杂句子,取得结构信息,再进行问题类型模式识别,得到唯一确定问题的语义组织方法、查询策略和应答方式的句型模式。另一方面,根据领域语义知识库,从源句子中提取相应的语义信息,并根据识别到的句型模式所对应的知识组织方法进行语义知识组织,完成对问句的理解。该文的方法被应用到开发的中文手机导购对话系统。测试结果表明,该方法能有效地完成对话流程中的用户问题理解。     

一种汉语方言编码与转换机制的研究

回顾了汉语拼音方案的组成和特点,分析了方言编码的可行性。引入二进制编码方式对汉字发音进行编码。编码序列包括了声母、韵母、音调、儿化音等编码部分。建立了方言音、修饰音、标准音之间的转换关系。以湘汨地区的方言为例,详细论述了方言编码和转换的过程。以人工代谢算法作为寻优策略,结合特定语言环境,将方言音转换成标准音。通过实例分析论述了该方案的可行性和合理性。
