We study the common problem of approximating a target matrix with a matrix of lower rank. We provide a simple and efficient (EM) algorithm for solving weighted low-rank approximat...
The core problem we address in this paper is how to take a declarative conceptual representation of a complex system and produce an agent-based simulation of that model. In particu...

We present a sub-symbolic computational model for effecting knowledge re-representation and insight. Given a set of data, manifold learning is used to automatically organize the d...
Choosing a suitable feature representation for structured data is a non-trivial task due to the vast number of potential candidates. Ideally, one would like to pick a small, but in...
This paper discusses the extensions that we have made to Betty’s Brain teachable agent system to help students learn about dynamic processes in a river ecosystem. Students first ...
