Language anxiety is the anxiety that arises when a person learns foreign language. Foreign Language Anxiety （anxiety to learn a foreign language） is of concern or negative emotional reactions that arise when studying or using foreign language. Self-regulated learning is an active and constructive process undertaken by learners in setting goals for their learning and trying to monitor, regulate, and control of cognition, motivation, and behavior, then everything is directed and driven by purpose and adapted to the context and environment. The research method used is an R and D （research and development） method with a sample of foreign speakers of Chinese. Variables that receive interference are the ability to speak in Indonesian, while the variables used to interfere with the self-regulated learning and language anxiety as a variable controller. Intrapersonal factors become barriers that cause stuttering speech limited due to the mastering subject content. On the basis of that, this speaking model applies the principle of self-regulated learning in the learning process, using a communicative and contextual approach. This model intended for foreign speakers who learn Indonesian language outside of Indonesia, so to bring the atmosphere mandated in sociolinguistic built through media and relevant teaching methods.展开更多

文摘Background:With the global popularity of short videos,particularly among young people,short video addiction has become a worrying phenomenon that poses significant risks to individual health and adaptability.Self-regulated learning(SRL)strategies are key factors in predicting learning outcomes.This study,based on the SRL theory,uses short video addiction as the independent variable,SRL strategies as the mediating variable,and learning well-being as the outcome variable,aiming to reveal the relationships among short video addiction,self-regulated learning,and learning well-being among Chinese college students.Methods:Using a cross-sectional study design and applying the snowball sampling technique,an online survey was administered to Chinese undergraduate students.A total of 706 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 85.7%.The average age of the participants was 20.5 years.Results:The results of structural equation modeling indicate that 7 hypotheses were supported.Short video addiction was negatively correlated with self-regulated learning strategies(preparatory,performance,and appraisal strategy),while SRL strategies were positively correlated with learning well-being.Additionally,short video addiction had a mediating effect on learning well-being through the three types of SRL strategies.The three types of SRL strategies explained 39%of the variance in learning well-being.Conclusion:Previous research has typically focused on the impact of self-regulated learning strategies on media addiction or problematic media use.This study,based on the SRL model,highlights the negative issues caused by short video addiction and emphasizes the importance of cultivating self-regulation abilities and media literacy.Short video addiction stems from failures in trait self-regulation,which naturally impairs the ability to effectively engage in self-regulation during the learning process.This study confirms and underscores that the SRL model can serve as an effective theoretical framework for helping students prevent short video addiction,engage in high-quality learning,and consequently enhance their learning well-being.

文摘Efficiently tracking and imaging interested moving targets is crucial across various applications,from autonomous systems to surveillance.However,persistent challenges remain in various fields,including environmental intricacies,limitations in perceptual technologies,and privacy considerations.We present a teacher-student learning model,the generative adversarial network(GAN)-guided diffractive neural network(DNN),which performs visual tracking and imaging of the interested moving target.The GAN,as a teacher model,empowers efficient acquisition of the skill to differentiate the specific target of interest in the domains of visual tracking and imaging.The DNN-based student model learns to master the skill to differentiate the interested target from the GAN.The process of obtaining a GAN-guided DNN starts with capturing moving objects effectively using an event camera with high temporal resolution and low latency.Then,the generative power of GAN is utilized to generate data with position-tracking capability for the interested moving target,subsequently serving as labels to the training of the DNN.The DNN learns to image the target during training while retaining the target’s positional information.Our experimental demonstration highlights the efficacy of the GAN-guided DNN in visual tracking and imaging of the interested moving target.We expect the GAN-guided DNN can significantly enhance autonomous systems and surveillance.

文摘Malaria is a lethal disease responsible for thousands of deaths worldwide every year.Manual methods of malaria diagnosis are timeconsuming that require a great deal of human expertise and efforts.Computerbased automated diagnosis of diseases is progressively becoming popular.Although deep learning models show high performance in the medical field,it demands a large volume of data for training which is hard to acquire for medical problems.Similarly,labeling of medical images can be done with the help of medical experts only.Several recent studies have utilized deep learning models to develop efficient malaria diagnostic system,which showed promising results.However,the most common problem with these models is that they need a large amount of data for training.This paper presents a computer-aided malaria diagnosis system that combines a semi-supervised generative adversarial network and transfer learning.The proposed model is trained in a semi-supervised manner and requires less training data than conventional deep learning models.Performance of the proposed model is evaluated on a publicly available dataset of blood smear images(with malariainfected and normal class)and achieved a classification accuracy of 96.6%.

文摘Robot calligraphy visually reflects the motion capability of robotic manipulators.While traditional researches mainly focus on image generation and the writing of simple calligraphic strokes or characters,this article presents a generative adversarial network(GAN)-based motion learning method for robotic calligraphy synthesis(Gan2CS)that can enhance the efficiency in writing complex calligraphy words and reproducing classic calligraphy works.The key technologies in the proposed approach include:(1)adopting the GAN to learn the motion parameters from the robot writing operation;(2)converting the learnt motion data into the style font and realising the transition from static calligraphy images to dynamic writing demonstration;(3)reproducing high-precision calligraphy works by synthesising the writing motion data hierarchically.In this study,the motion trajectories of sample calligraphy images are firstly extracted and converted into the robot module.The robot performs the writing with motion planning,and the writing motion parameters of calligraphy strokes are learnt with GANs.Then the motion data of basic strokes is synthesised based on the hierarchical process of‘stroke-radicalpart-character’.And the robot re-writes the synthesised characters whose similarity with the original calligraphy characters is evaluated.Regular calligraphy characters have been tested in the experiments for method validation and the results validated that the robot can actualise the robotic calligraphy synthesis of writing motion data with GAN.
文摘Model for spoken is expected to overcome difficulties in teaching and learning Indonesian language for foreign speakers. Language anxiety is the anxiety that arises when a person learns foreign language. Foreign Language Anxiety （anxiety to learn a foreign language） is of concern or negative emotional reactions that arise when studying or using foreign language. Self-regulated learning is an active and constructive process undertaken by learners in setting goals for their learning and trying to monitor, regulate, and control of cognition, motivation, and behavior, then everything is directed and driven by purpose and adapted to the context and environment. The research method used is an R and D （research and development） method with a sample of foreign speakers of Chinese. Variables that receive interference are the ability to speak in Indonesian, while the variables used to interfere with the self-regulated learning and language anxiety as a variable controller. Intrapersonal factors become barriers that cause stuttering speech limited due to the mastering subject content. On the basis of that, this speaking model applies the principle of self-regulated learning in the learning process, using a communicative and contextual approach. This model intended for foreign speakers who learn Indonesian language outside of Indonesia, so to bring the atmosphere mandated in sociolinguistic built through media and relevant teaching methods.

文摘Learning is no longer regarded as knowledge acquisition but as knowledge construction;therefore,learner is not a passive recipient but an active constructor.In generative and elaborative learning process,the learner’s existing knowledge is considered to be modified while it is used to construct a meaning from the text.Therefore,the focus in learning is on generating relations,rather than on storing information.This paper aims to draw the outlines of the main ideas of generative learning and their related concepts and theoretical significance.
