  • China: a Resource Unit for Secondary Schools
    Prepared originally by a group of prospective social studies teachers at Brooklyn College and edited by Professor Leonard S. Kenworthy. AFFAIRS MATERIALS Brooklyn College Brooklyn I 0, N. Y. Revised Edition: 1959 p.l Resource Unit on China for Secondary Schools Introduction China is in the news today--and will undoubtedly be in the news for years (or centuries ) to come. It is the world's largest nation, with approximately 650 million per­ sons--or about one person in every four on our globe. In size it is the world's lecond largest country-­ next to the U.S.S.R. in total area and larger than Canada, Brazil, and the U.S.A. It is a country with nearly 4000 years of history and of great contributions in many fields to the world. In this vast land there is a revolution underway today which is political, social, and economic in nature. This revolution has caused the rest of the world to watch China with interest--and in some cases with great concern. Certainly the repurcussions of this revolution are being felt all over the world. Furthermore, the fact that the communist government of China has not been recognized by the United States and has not been admitted to the United Nations and its specialized agencies has provoked heated and bitter discussions around the globe. These questions are still being debated and dis­ cussed and will be for some time to come. What happens in China is of profound interest to the rest of the world. It is a country which needs to be studied in secondary schools throughout the United States.

  • Contemporary China: a Book List
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.

  • CNY-Activity-Pack-2021.Pdf
    This is an activity pack to learn about the culture and traditions of Chinese New Year as observed in Malaysia. Due to the pandemic, many Girl Guide/Girl Scout units may not be able to meet face to face, therefore, leaders/units may adapt the activities to be done by individuals at home or in a group through virtual events. Suggested activities are simple and accompanied by references for leaders/units to do further research on each topic. A couple of references are suggested for each topic and these are not exhaustive. Leaders/units can do more research to find out more information. Individuals/units can choose activities they like from the list. It is not necessary to do all the activities listed in each topic. Most important is enjoy them with people whom you care! Due to the lack of time, we were not able to turn this into a nicely designed activity pack. We hope that by learning about culture, we could develop better understanding between people of different ethnicities as part of the peacebuilding process, and at the same time, having fun. Please note that the activities and descriptions are mostly based on the authors’ own knowledge and experience plus information from the internet. We apologize in advance should there be any parts that are inaccurate or cause discomfort in anyone. We would also like to record appreciation to the websites we referred in compiling information for this page. This is a volunteer project, not through any organisations, therefore there is no official badge linked to this pack.

  • On the Integration of Conceptual Hierarchies with Deep Learning for Explainable Open-Domain Question Answering
    On the Integration of Conceptual Hierarchies with Deep Learning for Explainable Open-Domain Question Answering Harish Tayyar Madabushi A Thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Computer Science College of Engineering and Physical Sciences University of Birmingham May 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Question Answering, with its potential to make human-computer interactions more intuitive, has had a revival in recent years with the influx of deep learning methods into natural language processing and the simultaneous adoption of personal assistants such as Siri, Google Now, and Alexa. Unfortunately, Question Classification, an essential element of question answering, which classifies questions based on the class of the expected answer had been overlooked. Although the task of question classification was explicitly developed for use in question answering systems, the more advanced task of question classification, which classifies questions into between fifty and a hundred question classes, had developed into independent tasks with no application in question answering. The work presented in this thesis bridges this gap by making use of fine-grained question classification for answer selection, arguably the most challenging subtask of question answer- ing, and hence the defacto standard of measure of its performance on question answering.
