Statistical Properties of Musical Creativity: Roles of Hierarchy and Uncertainty in Statistical Learning Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Creativity is part of human nature and is commonly understood as a phenomenon whereby something original and worthwhile is formed. Owing to this ability, humans can produce innovative information that often facilitates growth in our society. Creativity also contributes to esthetic and artistic productions, such as music and art. However, the mechanism by which creativity emerges in the brain remains debatable. Recently, a growing body of ...
Logic, probability and learning, or an introduction to statistical relational learning KU Leuven
Probabilistic inductive logic programming (PILP), sometimes also called statistical relational learning, addresses one of the central questions of artificial intelligence: the integration of probabilistic reasoning with first order logic representations and machine learning. A rich variety of different formalisms and learning techniques have been developed and they are being applied on applications in network analysis, robotics, bio-informatics, ...
Quality control of statistical learning environments and prediction of learning outcomes through reproducible computing KU Leuven
This article introduces a new approach to statistics education that allows us to accurately measure and control key aspects of the computations and communication processes that are involved in non-rote learning within the pedagogical paradigm of Constructivism. The solution that is presented relies on a newly developed technology (hosted at www.freestatistics.org) and computing framework (hosted at www.wessa.net) that supports reproducibility ...
Statistical learning and language impairments : toward more precise theoretical accounts Ghent University
Implicit statistical learning across modalities and its relationship with reading in childhood Ghent University
Implicit statistical learning (ISL) describes our ability to tacitly pick up regularities from our environment therefore, shaping our behavior. A broad understanding of ISL incorporates a great range of possible computations, which render it highly relevant to reading. In the light of this hypothesized relationship, ISL performance was explored in young (M = 8.47 years) typical readers (N = 31) across three different modalities (i.e., visual, ...
