It is a measure of the importance and profundity of Marvin Kenneth Simon's contributions to communication theory that this tribute article and tutorial about his life and work is of current research relevance in spite of the continually…
We propose a novel knowledge distillation approach to facilitate the transfer of dark knowledge from a teacher to a student. Contrary to most of the existing methods that rely on effective training of student models given pretrained…
Professor Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century. However, in his most famous work he displays misunderstandings of science and mathematics at a basic level.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of education and led to increased usage of remote proctoring tools that are designed to monitor students when they take assessments outside the classroom. While prior work has…
Although the results are correct, it was pointed out that the results follow from some previously known results. Accordingly, this version of the paper is withdrawn by the authors.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. This draft is withdrawn for its poor quality in english, unfortunately produced by the author when he was just starting his science route. Look at the ICML version instead:…
