Redefining education: educational trajectories for complex thinking skills by María Soledad Ramírez-Montoya, May Portuguez-Castro, Román Mendoza-Urdiales

“…The findings report on (a) Educational institutions that implement strategies for complex thinking unintentionally, without its explicit integration into their models; (b) Students demonstrating interdisciplinary, innovative, and critical problem analysis skills related to complex thinking; (c) Teachers employing active learning strategies using complex thinking sub-competencies for problem analysis and understanding; and (d) Trajectories for educational models to bring students closer to real-world problems, analyzing with diverse perspectives and integrating critical, scientific, systematic, and innovative thinking. …”

Identifying method for opinion leaders in social network based on competency model by Bo CHEN, Xiang-yan TANG, Ling YU, Ya-shang LIU

“…A competency model of opinion leaders in social networks is presented，which includes three capacity factors，some explicit and implicit behavioral indicators.These characteristics of information production，information dissemination and information influence which opinion leaders should have.Based on the proposed competency model，social network users into four categories which divided:the general public，the activists，the topic opinion leaders and network opinion leaders.Then a hierarchical filtering process is designed and a system framework of filtering experimental for identifying opinion leaders is introduced.It takes the data extracted from the Sina microblog as input，then integrates some social network analysis tools such as MALLET，and develops the programs for specific functions with Python.Eventually，the opinion leaders of microblog can be identified.The experiment results prove the effectiveness of present competency model for opinion leaders and the feasibility of hierarchical filtering process.…”

Clinical concept annotation with contextual word embedding in active transfer learning environment by Asim Abbas, Mark Lee, Niloofer Shanavas, Venelin Kovatchev

“…Methods Initially labeled data are acquired from a lexical-based approach in sufficient amounts to perform an active learning process. A contextual word embedding similarity approach is adopted using BERT base variant models such as ClinicalBERT, DistilBERT, and SCIBERT to automatically classify the unlabeled clinical concept into explicit categories. …”

Survey on explainable knowledge graph reasoning methods by Yi XIA, Mingjng LAN, Xiaohui CHEN, Junyong LUO, Gang ZHOU, Peng HE

“…In recent years, deep learning models have achieved remarkable progress in the prediction and classification tasks of artificial intelligence systems.However, most of the current deep learning models are black box, which means it is not conducive to human cognitive reasoning process.Meanwhile, with the continuous breakthroughs of artificial intelligence in the researches and applications, high-performance complex algorithms, models and systems generally lack the transparency and interpretability of decision making.This makes it difficult to apply the technologies in a wide range of fields requiring strict interpretability, such as national defense, medical care and cyber security.Therefore, the interpretability of artificial intelligence should be integrated into these algorithms and systems in the process of knowledge reasoning.By means of carrying out explicit explainable intelligence reasoning based on discrete symbolic representation and combining technologies in different fields, a behavior explanation mechanism can be formed which is an important way for artificial intelligence to realize data perception to intelligence perception.A comprehensive review of explainable knowledge graph reasoning was given.The concepts of explainable artificial intelligence and knowledge reasoning were introduced briefly.The latest research progress of explainable knowledge graph reasoning methods based on the three paradigms of artificial intelligence was introduced.Specifically, the ideas and improvement process of the algorithms in different scenarios of explainable knowledge graph reasoning were explained in detail.Moreover, the future research direction and the prospect of explainable knowledge graph reasoning were discussed.…”

Empathy and Semiotic Narrative Practices concerning Art: A Cognitive Semiotic Approach to Aesthetic Experience and Emotion by Codruța HAINIC

“… This paper proposes a cognitive-semiotic approach to aesthetics to understand aesthetic emotion and its relation to the process of producing and valorizing art. The core argument presented is that the emotional aspects of aesthetic experience are integral to the processes of evaluation and meaning-making and that this interplay significantly influences individuals’ engagement with art, highlighting the importance of these dimensions in the overall experience. …”

Conformal field theory and the web of quantum chaos diagnostics by Jonah Kudler-Flam, Laimei Nie, Shinsei Ryu

“…With the observation that all three quantities may be obtained by different analytic continuations of the torus partition function, we address the connections and distinctions between the information that each quantity provides us. In this process, we study the emergence of irrationality from “large-N” limits of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) as well as the explicit breakdown of rationality for theories with central charges greater than the number of their conserved currents. …”
