You are Born to Perform - But...What Went Wrong?Sree Nidhi S K
Yes, you are born to perform. The genetic tendencies gives you an advantage. As researched by the eminent Swiss Psychiatrist, Carl Gustav Jung, People are born with attitudes and are predisposed to function well in certain domains of life and career. He published his book ‘Psychological Types’ in 1921 that has virtually become a doctrine in Analytical Psychology.
There is nothing called the Best Personality. One can PERFORM WELL AND succeed in life and career by making the best use of what one already has. Since hereditary influences are more or less permanent and lasts as long as we live, it is good to focus on the “Upbringing” and the “Environment.
So it is all about creating a conducive environment for each individual. Your responsibility is to identify the hereditary strengths of people you are dealing with and then communicate in that style. The person likes it since you are tapping into one’s strengths and not hitting out at one’s weaknesses. No two children are the same and so are your team members. You need to customise your communication strategy to each person based on the other person’s need and not based on your wants.
The key is to know the inner motivations of your children, team members, colleagues, bosses, customers, spouse or anyone with whom you interact. You cannot change your personality but surely you can change your communication. Your success lies in communicating in their style. The idea is to strengthen the strengths of the other person. This is faster route to successful performance, growth, and rewards. But when people wrongly focus on strengthening the weakness, the challenges are too many.
It Takes Two to Tango: an Exploration of Domain Pairs for Cross-Domain Collab...Shaghayegh (Sherry) Sahebi
As the heterogeneity of data sources are increasing on the web, and due to the sparsity of data in each of these data sources, cross-domain recommendation is becoming an emerging research topic in the recent years. Cross-domain collaborative filtering aims to transfer the user rating pattern from source (auxiliary) domains to a target domain for the purpose of alleviating the sparsity problem and providing better target recommendations. However, the studies so far have either focused on a limited number of domains that are assumed to be related to each other (such as books and movies), or a division of the same dataset (such as movies) into different domains based on an item characteristic (such as genre). In this paper, we study a broad set of domains and their characteristics to understand the factors that affect the success or failure of cross-domain collaborative filtering, the amount of improvement in cross-domain approaches, and the selection of best source domains for a speficic target domain. We propose to use Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) as a significant major factor in finding the most
promising source domains for a target domain, and suggest a cross-domain collaborative filtering based on CCA (CD-CCA) that proves to be successful in using the shared information between domains in the target recommendations.

Parameterized Exercises in Java Programming: using Knowledge Structure for Pe...Shaghayegh (Sherry) Sahebi
In this paper, we study the effect of using domain knowledge
structure on predicting student performance with parameterized Java
programming exercises. Domain knowledge structure defines connections
between elementary knowledge items. While known to be beneficial in
general, it has not been used to predict performance.We compare five different
approaches for this purpose: Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT),
Performance Factor Analysis (PFA), and three dimensional Bayesian
Probabilistic Tensor Factorization (3D-BPTF), that are not able to take
into account knowledge structure; and four-dimensional Bayesian Probabilistic
Tensor Factorization (4D-BPTF) and Feature-Aware Student
Knowledge Tracing (FAST), that can take into account knowledge structure.
We approach the problem using both topic-level and question-level
Knowledge Components (KCs) and test the methods on a dataset of
parameterized questions. Our work is the first in the field that models
students’ behavior in a four dimensional tensor. Our experiments show
that, when having only the knowledge-item-level information, all of the
models work similarly in predicting student performance, but adding
the topic-level information that integrates knowledge items changes the
performance of these models in different directions.
Life is about Energy! Your main responsibility in life is to energize yourself and other people everyday, everywhere. Your Body and Mind are two tools given to YOU. Get the best out by getting to know the secrets of energy creation.
Your MUSCLES are a store house of energy and the easiest way to release muscle energy is to stretch them. But remember you have 640 muscles in your body. Learn to stretch, often, many times within a day and you shall stay energetic. Repeat them day after day and you will stay healthy, fit and fine as long as you are alive in this body.
The best way to stretch your mind is and be stress free is learn and practice 'LOOK UP'. Look up above the 5 sense organs - Focus on your forehead and crown of your head and you will feel the energy within.
Every stretch, physical or mental, makes you deep breathe. Deeper you breathe, longer you breathe, healthy you live and longer you live. Long and deep breaths provide you with OXYGEN - Your Free Energy Supply from the Mother Nature.
Please feel free to write to learning@oscarmurphy.com for a live demonstration in your organisation. Afterall, Energy is Everything!

Descripción de un recorrido, alrededor de Atocha, de edificios históricos que en algún momento han tenido relación con el desarrollo científico de España. Comienza con edificios relacionados con la época de la ilustración como el Observatorio Astronómico de Madrid o el Jardín Botánico. Posteriores con el desarrollo tecnológico de la revolución industrial como la Estación de Atocha , y ya a finales del siglo SXIX y principios del siglo XX con la figura de Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
In this paper, we compare pioneer methods of educational
data mining field with recommender systems techniques for predicting
student performance. Additionally, we study the importance of including
students’ attempt time sequences of parameterized exercises.
The approaches we use are Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT), Performance
Factor Analysis (PFA), Bayesian Probabilistic Tensor Factorization
(BPTF), and Bayesian Probabilistic Matrix Factorization (BPMF).
The last two approaches are from the recommender system’s field.We approach
the problem using question-level Knowledge Components (KCs)
and test the methods using cross-validation. In this work, we focus on
predicting students’ performance in parameterized exercises. Our experiments
shows that advanced recommender system techniques are as accurate
as the pioneer methods in predicting student performance. Also, our
studies show the importance of considering time sequence of students’
attempts to achieve the desirable accuracy.
