This trend can provide more useful conditions for students to learn, which requires students to master enough self-learning abilities to adapt to this model. The study in the paper shows that students are usually interested in autonomous learning in a multimodal environment, but the degree of strategy choice is relatively low, and the learning process is blind and passive with the lack of self-confidence. Facing the future, schools should actively integrate into network thinking, and teachers should change their roles and train and guide students’ learning strategies and learning motivations, so as to achieve better teaching results.展开更多

However, the negative externality of congestion, such as environment pollution, is neglected in most cases. Such models fall short in taking Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and its impact on climate change into consideration. In this paper, a social-cost based system optimization (SO) model is proposed for the multimodal traffic network considering both traffic congestion and corresponding vehicle emission. Firstly, a variation inequality model is developed to formulate the equilibrium problem for such network based on the analysis of travelers' combined choices. Secondly, the computational models of traffic congestion and vehicle emission of whole multimodal network are proposed based on the equilibrium link-flows and the corresponding travel times. A bi-level programming model, in which the social-cost based SO model is treated as the upper-level problem and the combined equilibrium model is processed as the lower-level problem, is then presented with its solution algorithm. Finally, the proposed models are illustrated through a simple numerical example. The study results confirm and support the idea of giving the priority to the development of urban public transport, which is an effective way to achieve a sustainable urban transportation.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a contextually guided recurrent attention model for solving the IQA issues. It is a deep reinforcement learning based multimodal recurrent neural network. Based on compositional contextual information, it recurrently decides where to look using reinforcement learning strategy. Different from traditional 'static' soft attention, it is deemed as a kind of 'dynamic' attention whose objective is designed based on reinforcement rewards purposefully towards IQA. The finally learned compositional information incorporates both global context and local informative details, which is demonstrated to benefit for generating answers. The proposed method is compared with several state-of-the-art methods on two public IQA datasets, including COCO-QA and VQA from dataset MS COCO. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms those methods and achieves better performance.展开更多
