Validation of self-regulated learning instrument on pre-clinical medical students at University of Malaya by Vadivelu, Jamuna

“…The three important characteristics of self-regulated learners are goal-directed behavior, use of specific strategies to attain goals, and the adaptation and modification to one's behaviours or strategies to optimize learning (Sandars & Cleary, 2011). This involves iterative cycles of forethought, performance and self-reflection (Chen & Schwartz, 2014).…”

ACOustic: A nature-inspired exploration indicator for ant colony optimization by Sagban, Rafid, Ku-Mahamud, Ku Ruhana, Abu Bakar, Muhamad Shahbani

“…A statistical machine learning indicator, ACOustic, is proposed to evaluate the exploration behavior in the iterations of ant colony optimization algorithms. This idea is inspired by the behavior of some parasites in their mimicry to the queens’ acoustics of their ant hosts.The parasites’ reaction results from their ability to indicate the state of penetration.The proposed indicator solves the problem of robustness that results from the difference of magnitudes in the distance’s matrix, especially when combinatorial optimization problems with rugged fitness landscape are applied.The performance of the proposed indicator is evaluated against the existing indicators in six variants of ant colony optimization algorithms.Instances for travelling salesman problem and quadratic assignment problem are used in the experimental evaluation.The analytical results showed that the proposed indicator is more informative and more robust.…”
