Patterns of motivation, moral and civic development in young Singaporeans by Koh, Caroline

“…As regards to their motivation in Civics and Moral Education (CME), students showed a moderate degree of autonomous motivation and tended to display identified regulation to a higher degree than intrinsic motivation. There is however, a need to review the way in which Moral Education is conducted in schools in order to improve students’ motivation in the subject. …”

A Non‐Intrusive Machine Learning Framework for Debiasing Long‐Time Coarse Resolution Climate Simulations and Quantifying Rare Events Statistics by Barthel Sorensen, B., Charalampopoulos, A., Zhang, S., Harrop, B. E., Leung, L. R., Sapsis, T. P.

“…For the former, our method enables the quantification of events that have return period two orders longer than the training data. For the latter, when trained on 8 years of ERA5 data, our approach is able to correct the coarse E3SM output to closely reflect the 36‐year ERA5 statistics for all prognostic variables and significantly reduce their spatial biases.…”

Trial-based dominance for comparing both the speed and accuracy of stochastic optimizers with standard non-parametric tests by Price, Kenneth V., Kumar, Abhishek, Suganthan, Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam

“…This paper describes how trial-based dominance can totally order this two-variable dataset of outcomes so that traditional non-parametric methods can determine the better of two algorithms when one is faster, but less accurate than the other, i.e. when neither algorithm dominates. …”
