Decision tree learning algorithms have been successfully used in knowledge discovery. They use induction in order to provide an appropriate classification of objects in terms of their attributes, inferring decision tree rules. This paper reports on the use of ID3…

Algunas aplicaciones del procesamiento del lenguaje natural, p.ej. la traducción
automática, requieren una base de conocimiento provista de representaciones conceptuales que
puedan reflejar la estructura del sistema cognitivo del ser humano. En cambio, tareas como la

The use of clocks for timekeeping seems to be a straightforward and almost intuitive routine. Glancing at mechanical clocks designed in Edo period Japan, however, we witness how modern-day intuitions betray our attempts to understand devices created in a culture…

This project investigates how doctoral students make
‘learning leaps’ to recognise and cross conceptual
and skills thresholds in their research and ways in
which they can be best supported to do so. It
responds to current national and international
concerns…

The assessment is the most complicated task in the teaching work and it should be especially useful to improve the features and results of the learning process proposed at the beginning of an academic year. It must incorporate tools with…
