We posed the problem of understanding the text and symbol messages by students. We considered the interpretation of the concept of "understanding" in philosophy and psychology, presented psycholinguistic aspect of the concept in detail. We proposed a general classification of problems of perception of speech by students in teaching mathematics. We identified two broad categories of problems of understanding the language statements (direct problematic language codes perception and incorrect perception of the context). We introduce the concept of "reversible language constructs”, discuss the various types of reversible language constructs found in educational materials on math. The analogy is provided to demonstrate the similarity of reversible structures of natural language with constructs of algebraic material. The author presents the classification of reversible constructs. We substantiated the importance of the study of reversible structures decoding by students, identified properties of reversible constructs perception, the conditions for their understanding. We revealed the further ways to study how to create an effective technique for decoding reversible constructs (with the use of educational material on algebra).

Distance education of students has its own specific, which requires prompt creation of various educational materials. A particular problem is caused by the fact that these documents are created in parallel with the preparation of materials for the regular internal form of training. The use of the device of creation of entries from screen and camera and viewing presentations in the new format is proposed. Construction of a lecture script and its division into separate scenes and shots requires a new approach to its drafting, systematization and storage of information. Material a lecture should be presented with taking into account the effectiveness of its perception by the student audience, and it should be is systematized and consider classification of the reflect objects and their hierarchy in relation to each other. Scaling of images, creation in the presentation the individual objects and their autonomous modeling allows its easy modification with the appearance of innovation in this facility. The authors propose decision for the creation of teaching aids (presentations of lectures) using screencasts and presentations by using new software. In the educational material with the use of screencasts is created the effect of real presence on the solving the problem by the teacher in class.In the preparation of educational material for lessons, students can take part in accordance with the program of implementation self-work on of discipline. New software means allow to construct lecture at a higher qualitative level that improves the quality of teaching, not only in the traditional forms, but also makes it possible to demonstrate the open lectures for online versions on the website of the University.

An important component of correcting students' learning outcomes in mathematics is to eliminate errors and gaps in their knowledge and skills. The analysis of scientific research has allowed to identify the approaches to studying students' mathematical errors and to carry out their group distribution (into the corresponding sections of the program, in accordance with the certain types of educational activities, due to external circumstances of their detection, the peculiarities of psychological activity of students, causes of occurrence). The main causes of mathematical errors made by students that was discovered during the research are psychological, methodological, and other specific causes, conditioned by the peculiarities of mathematics as an educational subject. In the process of development of methods for correcting the results of students' training in mathematics, the classification of errors as situational and systemic was taken into account. Situational errors indicate students' lack of knowledge of particular facts or inability to perform particular operations, while system errors indicate significant gaps in the knowledge and skills of students, lack of understanding of general methods of working with mathematical objects or the lack of a general vision of the educational material. Methods and means of correction were defined and clustered into 4 groups according to the situation and the subject of correction. The article reviews didactic models of basic mathematics lessons in the context of correction of students' knowledge and skills. The characteristics of each lesson contain a detailed description of the main didactic characteristics of the type of correction, adapted to the specifics of teaching mathematics.

The article discusses one of the stages of the educational process with the use of modular visualization that is systematization and synthesis of educational material. Various forms of visual repetition when studying the discipline “Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics” for undergraduate students who study non-mathematical profiles are presented. The concept of modular visualization is revealed, all types of each of the presented forms of visual repetition are described: through the conceptual apparatus (types: crossword puzzle, mathematical dictation, work with definitions, classification of concepts), transformation of knowledge (types: reference summary, proof of theorems, work with formulas, dictionary knowledge), by means of large-modular supports (types: table, flowchart, graph-diagram). Examples of each type of visual repetition of educational information on the discipline “Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics” developed by SMART Notebook and HTML are given. The technology of constructing various forms of visual repetition is presented schematically.

Acoustic scene classification (ASC) categorizes an audio file based on the environment in which it has been recorded. This has long been studied in the detection and classification of acoustic scenes and events (DCASE). This presents the solution to Task 1 of the DCASE 2020 challenge submitted by the Chung-Ang University team. Task 1 addressed two challenges that ASC faces in real-world applications. One is that the audio recorded using different recording devices should be classified in general, and the other is that the model used should have low-complexity. We proposed two models to overcome the aforementioned problems. First, a more general classification model was proposed by combining the harmonic-percussive source separation (HPSS) and deltas-deltadeltas features with four different models. Second, using the same feature, depthwise separable convolution was applied to the Convolutional layer to develop a low-complexity model. Moreover, using gradient-weight class activation mapping (Grad-CAM), we investigated what part of the feature our model sees and identifies. Our proposed system ranked 9th and 7th in the competition for these two subtasks, respectively.

Abstract Background Recent advances in representation learning have enabled large strides in natural language understanding; However, verbal reasoning remains a challenge for state-of-the-art systems. External sources of structured, expert-curated verb-related knowledge have been shown to boost model performance in different Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks where accurate handling of verb meaning and behaviour is critical. The costliness and time required for manual lexicon construction has been a major obstacle to porting the benefits of such resources to NLP in specialised domains, such as biomedicine. To address this issue, we combine a neural classification method with expert annotation to create BioVerbNet. This new resource comprises 693 verbs assigned to 22 top-level and 117 fine-grained semantic-syntactic verb classes. We make this resource available complete with semantic roles and VerbNet-style syntactic frames. Results We demonstrate the utility of the new resource in boosting model performance in document- and sentence-level classification in biomedicine. We apply an established retrofitting method to harness the verb class membership knowledge from BioVerbNet and transform a pretrained word embedding space by pulling together verbs belonging to the same semantic-syntactic class. The BioVerbNet knowledge-aware embeddings surpass the non-specialised baseline by a significant margin on both tasks. Conclusion This work introduces the first large, annotated semantic-syntactic classification of biomedical verbs, providing a detailed account of the annotation process, the key differences in verb behaviour between the general and biomedical domain, and the design choices made to accurately capture the meaning and properties of verbs used in biomedical texts. The demonstrated benefits of leveraging BioVerbNet in text classification suggest the resource could help systems better tackle challenging NLP tasks in biomedicine.

Abstract This paper explores the formal expression of two Basque dative argument types in combination with psych nouns and adjectives, in intransitive and transitive clauses: (i) those that express the experiencer, and (ii) those that express the stimulus of the psychological state denoted by the psych noun and adjective. In the intransitive structure involving a dative experiencer (DatExpIS), the stimulus is in the absolutive case, and the intransitive copula izan ‘be’ shows both dative and absolutive agreement. This construction basically corresponds to those built upon the piacere type of psychological verbs typified in (Belletti, Adriana & Luigi Rizzi. 1988. Psych-verbs and θ-theory. Natural Language and Linguistic Theory 6. 291–352) three-way classification of Italian psych verbs. In the intransitive structure involving a dative stimulus (DatStimIS), the experiencer is marked by absolutive case, and the same intransitive copula shows both absolutive and dative agreement (with the latter corresponding to the dative stimulus and not to the experiencer). We show that the behavior of the dative argument in the two constructions is just the opposite of each other regarding a number of morphosyntactic tests, including agreement, constituency, hierarchy and selection. Additionally, we explore two parallel transitive constructions that involve either a dative experiencer and an ergative stimulus (DatExpTS) or a dative stimulus and an ergative experiencer (DatStimTS), which employ the transitive copula *edun ‘have’. Considering these configurations, we propose an extended and more fine-grained typology of psych predicates.

Introduction: One of the contributing factors to the burden of low back pain (LBP) is the failure to provide patients with appropriate education and advice about diagnosis and management. To date, no information exists about whether the content of patients’ information and educational material provided in physiotherapy clinics in Saudi Arabia is in line with the Clinical Practice Guidelines and contemporary practice. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the content of educational material provided by physiotherapy clinics, hospitals, or distributed by healthcare associations to people with LBP in Saudi Arabia, to determine whether this information is adequate to reassure patients and inform self-management. This study also seeks to explore whether these materials are consistent with CPGs for people with LBP. Methodology: A sample of educational items (English or Arabic) in Saudi Arabia was collected. Content analysis was conducted to analyze data based on manifest content. Result: Seventeen educational materials were included, originating from diverse sources; the Ministry of Health hospitals (n = 10), military hospitals (n = 4), private hospitals (n = 2), and multidisciplinary healthcare association (n = 1). Six main sub-themes were identified: epidemiological/anatomical data about LBP (n = 6); causes/risk factors (n = 10); exercise (n = 14) and physical activity-related recommendations (n = 3); treatment-related recommendations (n = 2); general health and lifestyle-related recommendations (n = 8); and postural and ergonomics-related recommendations (n = 13). Ultimately, one theme was formulated, namely, the content of educational materials was hindering reassurance and self-management for people with LBP. The items reviewed were heavily influenced by the biomedical model of pain. Conclusion: The educational materials reviewed failed to properly report information about LBP from a biopsychosocial perspective and were inadequate to assure patients or inform self-management.
