Extraction of time-varying spatio-temporal networks using parameter-tuned constrained IVA
(IEEE Transaction on Medical Imaging, 2019-07)Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) analysis is an effective way to capture the networks that are functionally associated and continuously changing over the scanning period. However, these methods mostly analyze the ... -
Co-teaching and the PrimeD framework: Radicals and Rational Exponents
(2018-04)This study examined the application of a co-teaching model to the PrimeD framework. Two teachers and a teacher educator collaborated to develop, implement, evaluate, and study a unit on radical expressions, equations, and ... -
Making teacher PD effective using the PrimeD framework.

Mathematics education technology professional development: Changes over several decades.
(IGI Global, 2016)The effective use of digital technologies in school settings calls for appropriate professional development opportunities that will transform inservice teachers’ knowledge for integrating technologies as effective mathematics ... -
The Latino Racial Justice Circle Guide for Faith Community Dialogues on Immigration
(University of Maryland Baltimore County, 2019-07)The LRJC Guide for Faith Community Dialogues on Immigration describes, step by step, the LRJC dialogue model. The LRJC hopes it will enable faith communities everywhere to use dialogue for mutual understanding and collaboration ... -
Gathering and Managing Facts for Intelligence Analysis
(2005-05)This paper presents a novel method, based on the Cyc Knowledge Base and Inference Engine, of gathering, organizing and sharing information about entities of interest (be they people, organizations, events or some other ... -
Knowledge Begets Knowledge: Steps towards Assisted Knowledge Acquisition in Cyc
(AAAI, 2005)The Cyc project is predicated on the idea that, in order to be effective and flexible, computer software must have an understanding of the context in which its tasks are performed. We believe this context is what is known ... -
Learning to Parse Natural Language Commands to a Robot Control System
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2012-06)As robots become more ubiquitous and capable of performing complex tasks, the importance of enabling untrained users to interact with them has increased. In response, unconstrained natural-language interaction with robots ... -
A Joint Model of Language and Perception for Grounded Attribute Learning
(2012-06-27)As robots become more ubiquitous and capable, it becomes ever more important to enable untrained users to easily interact with them. Recently, this has led to study of the language grounding problem, where the goal is to ... -
On the Ability to Provide Demonstrations on a UAS: Observing 90 Untrained Participants Abusing a Flying Robot
(AAAI, 2015)This paper presents an exploratory study where participants piloted a commercial UAS (unmanned aerial system) through an obstacle course. The goal was to determine how varying the instructions given to participants affected ... -
Inferring Robot Morphology from Observation of Unscripted Movement
(IEEE, 2019-05)Task sharing between heterogeneous robots currently requires a priori capability knowledge, a shared communication protocol, or a centralized planner. However, in practice, when two robots are brought together, the effort ... -
¿Es un platano? Exploring the Application of a Physically Grounded Language Acquisition System to Spanish
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019-06)In this paper we describe a multilingual grounded language learning system adapted from an English-only system. This system learns the meaning of words used in crowd-sourced descriptions by grounding them in the physical ... -
Deep Learning for Category-Free Grounded Language Acquisition
(Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2019-06)We propose a learning system in which language is grounded in visual percepts without pre-defined category constraints. We present a unified generative method to acquire a shared semantic/visual embedding that enables a ... -
