It is not easy for students to understand the questions in the form of stories so that errors often occur in the process of solving problems. This study aims to describe the factors that cause vocational students' errors in solving story problems based on Anne Newman. This research is a qualitative research. The instrument used in this research is a test which consists of 3 questions and an interview guide. The subjects in this study were students of class XII TKJ SMK Patria Gadingrejo. Analysis of the data using the analysis of the location of student errors based on Anne Newman's procedure, namely a) reading the problem, understanding the problem, b) transforming the problem, c) process skills, and d) writing the final answer. The factors that cause student errors at each stage are: 1) misunderstood the problem, the cause of which is the lack of understanding and thoroughness of students; 2) problem transformation errors, the reason is that students do not master the concept and do not have mastery of the material; 3) process skill errors, the cause of which students are wrong in doing the initial steps of work; 4) errors in writing the final answer, the reason is that students are not accustomed to writing conclusions.

AbstractIt is a great challenge for ordinary evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to tackle large-scale global optimization (LSGO) problems which involve over hundreds or thousands of decision variables. In this paper, we propose an improved weighted optimization approach (LSWOA) for helping solve LSGO problems. Thanks to the dimensionality reduction of weighted optimization, LSWOA can optimize transformed problems quickly and share the optimal weights with the population, thereby accelerating the overall convergence. First, we concentrate on the theoretical investigation of weighted optimization. A series of theoretical analyses are provided to illustrate the search behavior of weighted optimization, and the equivalent form of the transformed problem is presented to show the relationship between the original problem and the transformed one. Then the factors that affect problem transformation and how they take affect are figured out. Finally, based on our theoretical investigation, we modify the way of utilizing weighted optimization in LSGO. A weight-sharing strategy and a candidate solution inheriting strategy are designed, along with a better allocation of computational resources. These modifications help take full advantage of weighted optimization and save computational resources. The extensive experimental results on CEC’2010 and CEC’2013 verify the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed LSWOA.

Machine learning involves the task of training systems to be able to make decisions without being explicitly programmed. Important among machine learning tasks is classification involving the process of training machines to make predictions from predefined labels. Classification is broadly categorized into three distinct groups: single-label (SL), multi-class, and multi-label (ML) classification. This research work presents an application of a multi-label classification (MLC) technique in automating Quranic verses labeling. MLC has been gaining attention in recent years. This is due to the increasing amount of works based on real-world classification problems of multi-label data. In traditional classification problems, patterns are associated with a single-label from a set of disjoint labels. However, in MLC, an instance of data is associated with a set of labels. In this paper, three standard <em>MLC</em> methods: <span>binary relevance (BR), classifier chain (CC), and label powerset (LP) algorithms are implemented with four baseline classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), naïve Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), and J48. The research methodology adopts the multi-label problem transformation (PT) approach. The results are validated using six conventional performance metrics. These include: hamming loss, accuracy, one error, micro-F1, macro-F1, and avg. precision. From the results, the classifiers effectively achieved above 70% accuracy mark. Overall, SVM achieved the best results with CC and LP algorithms.</span>

Sexism, an injustice that subjects women and girls to enormous suffering, manifests in blatant as well as subtle ways. In the wake of growing documentation of experiences of sexism on the web, the automatic categorization of accounts of sexism has the potential to assist social scientists and policymakers in studying and thereby countering sexism. The existing work on sexism classification has certain limitations in terms of the categories of sexism used and/or whether they can co-occur. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on the multi-label classification of sexism of any kind(s). 1 We also consider the related task of misogyny classification. While sexism classification is performed on textual accounts describing sexism suffered or observed, misogyny classification is carried out on tweets perpetrating misogyny. We devise a novel neural framework for classifying sexism and misogyny that can combine text representations obtained using models such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers with distributional and linguistic word embeddings using a flexible architecture involving recurrent components and optional convolutional ones. Further, we leverage unlabeled accounts of sexism to infuse domain-specific elements into our framework. To evaluate the versatility of our neural approach for tasks pertaining to sexism and misogyny, we experiment with adapting it for misogyny identification. For categorizing sexism, we investigate multiple loss functions and problem transformation techniques to address the multi-label problem formulation. We develop an ensemble approach using a proposed multi-label classification model with potentially overlapping subsets of the category set. Proposed methods outperform several deep-learning as well as traditional machine learning baselines for all three tasks.

In the real world, multi-objective problems(MOPs) are relatively common in optimization in the areasof design, planning, decision support... In fact, problemsinclude two or many objectives, there is a class of problemscalled expensive problems that are problems with complexmathematical models, large computational costs,... Theycan not be solved by normal techniques, they are usually tobe solved with techniques such as simulation, decomposing,problem transformation. In particular, using a surrogatemodel with Kriging, neuron networks techniques in combination with an evolutionary algorithm is a subtle choice,with many positive results, being studied and applied inpractice. However, the use of a surrogate model withKriging, neuron networks combining selection strategy,sampling... can reduce the robustness of the algorithmsduring the search. This paper analyzes the issues affectingthe robustness of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) using surrogate models and suggests theuse of a guidance technique to increase the robustness ofthe algorithm, through analysis, experiment and results arecompetitive and effective to improve the quality of MOEAsusing a surrogate model to solve expensive problems.

The introduction of pre-trained language models in natural language processing (NLP) based on deep learning and the availability of electronic health records (EHRs) presents a great opportunity to transfer the “knowledge” learned from data in the general domain to enable the analysis of unstructured textual data in clinical domains. This study explored the feasibility of applying NLP to a small EHR dataset to investigate the power of transfer learning to facilitate the process of patient screening in psychiatry. A total of 500 patients were randomly selected from a medical center database. Three annotators with clinical experience reviewed the notes to make diagnoses for major/minor depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and dementia to form a small and highly imbalanced corpus. Several state-of-the-art NLP methods based on deep learning along with pre-trained models based on shallow or deep transfer learning were adapted to develop models to classify the aforementioned diseases. We hypothesized that the models that rely on transferred knowledge would be expected to outperform the models learned from scratch. The experimental results demonstrated that the models with the pre-trained techniques outperformed the models without transferred knowledge by micro-avg. and macro-avg. F-scores of 0.11 and 0.28, respectively. Our results also suggested that the use of the feature dependency strategy to build multi-labeling models instead of problem transformation is superior considering its higher performance and simplicity in the training process.

In recent years, multi-label classifications have become common. Multi label classification is a classification in which a collection of labels is associated with a single instance, which may be a variation of the classification of a single label. The problem of huge data is the classification in which each instance is of different kind which further can be identified with more than one class. The various machine learning strategies for classifying multi-label data are discussed in this paper. Many researches have been carried out that specify the grouping of multiple labels. Here we will compare various classification machine learning techniques that involve two approaches: the adapted algorithm approach and the method of problem transformation. Here we are using naive multinomial bayes and logistic regression. We use certain evaluation metrics to predict the differences as well. Better classification methods are discussed in this paper.
