Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

the motivational model with the supportive evidence. A Motivational Model of High School Dropout The motivational model is depicted in Motivation Toward School One motivational approach that has been found useful in education posits that behavior can be intrinsically or extrinsically motivated Much research
QOS WITH RELIABILITY AND SCALABILITY IN ADAPTIVE SERVICE-BASED SYSTEMS
"... Service-based systems that are dynamically composed at runtime to provide complex, adaptive functionality are currently one of the main development paradigms in software engineering. However, the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered by these systems remains an important concern, and needs to be manage ..."

to be managed in an equally adaptive and predictable way. To address this need, we introduce a novel, tool-supported framework for the development of adaptive servicebased systems called QoSMOS (QoS Management and Optimization of Service-based systems). QoSMOS can be used to develop service-based systems
Simulations on Consumer Tests: A Systematic Evaluation Approach in an Industrial Case Study
"... Abstract—Context: Consumer tests for vehicles have long a tradition of almost two decades in Europe to assess vehicular safety abilities. For active safety systems like an emergency braking guard, different consumer-test-organizations (CTOs) around the world intensify now the challenges for automoti ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
: The use of a structured simulative approach for evaluating an active safety system during the development process enables a more focused feedback and supports extensive tests on real proving grounds by systematic and automated robustness analyses for example. I.
BAYESIAN ADAPTATION AND ADAPTIVELY TRAINED SYSTEMS
"... As the use of found data increases, more systems are being built using adaptive training. Here transforms are used to represent unwanted acoustic variability, e.g. speaker and acoustic environment changes, allowing a canonical model that models only the “pure ” variability of speech to be trained. A ..."

of these approaches to state-of-the-art adaptively trained systems using both CAT and MLLR transforms is then described and evaluated on a large vocabulary speech recognition task. 1.
Evaluating the Usability of Adaptive Recommendations
"... In the design, development and evaluation of adaptive systems, usability aspects are largely ignored so far. A correct but badly designed adaptation decision might spoil the purpose. This paper provides an example of a usability evaluation with an adaptive collaborative system. The results suggest t ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
that the representation format of recommendations did not strongly affect standard usability measures. However, comparing different design versions helped users to identify strengths and weaknesses. 1 Usability in Adaptive Systems The lack of evaluation studies of adaptive systems as been noted frequently for a number
Evaluation of dialogue act recognition approaches
- in "IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing, Mexique Cancun
"... This paper deals with automatic dialogue act (DA) recognition. Dialogue acts are sentence-level units that represent states of a dialogue, such as questions, statements, hesitations, etc. The knowledge of dialogue act realizations in a discourse or dialogue is part of the speech understanding and di ..."

in the DA recognition domain is that, although a few DA annotation schemes seem now to emerge as standards, most of the time, these DA tag-sets have to be adapted to the specificities of a given application, which prevents the deployment of standardized DA databases and evaluation procedures. The focus
Chinese word segmentation and named entity recognition: A pragmatic approach
- Computational Linguistics
, 2005
"... This article presents a pragmatic approach to Chinese word segmentation. It differs from most previous approaches mainly in three respects. First, while theoretical linguists have defined Chinese words using various linguistic criteria, Chinese words in this study are defined pragmatically as segmen ..."

Discriminative Cluster Adaptive Training
, 2004
"... Abstract—Multiple-cluster schemes, such as cluster adaptive training (CAT) or eigenvoice systems, are a popular approach for rapid speaker and environment adaptation. Interpolation weights are used to transform a multiple-cluster, canonical, model to a standard hidden Markov model (HMM) set represen ..."

1 MOSES: a Framework for QoS Driven Runtime Adaptation of Service-oriented Systems
"... Abstract—Architecting software systems according to the serviceoriented paradigm, and designing runtime self-adaptable systems are two relevant research areas in today’s software engineering. In this paper we address issues that lie at the intersection of these two important fields. First, we presen ..."

present a characterization of the problem space of self-adaptation for service-oriented systems, thus providing a frame of reference where our and other approaches can be classified. Then, we present MOSES, a methodology and a software tool implementing it to support QoS-driven adaptation of a service
The Quality Adaptation Model: Adaptation and adoption of the Quality Standard ISO/IEC 19796-1 for learning, education, and training
- EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY
, 2007
"... In 2005, the new quality standard for learning, education, and training, ISO/IEC 19796-1, was published. Its purpose is to help educational organizations to develop quality systems and to improve the quality of their processes, products, and services. In this article, the standard is presented and c ..."

However, since the standard is a reference model, it has to be adapted to the needs and requirements of an organization. Hence, the main aspect is the adoption and implementation process: How can ISO
