In this research-to-practice full paper, we explored the perceptions of AI-enabled microlearning as an instructional approach in a second-year introduction to database design and programming course for new technology primary students at an urban Midwestern university. This pilot study was built upon our prior work, where we identified the microlearning instructional design practices to maximize student learning outcomes ([1]-[3]). Our analysis of this study was based on the students' perceptions survey (n=23) and twelve semi-structured interviews. The following research questions guided this study: 1)What are students' overall perceptions of the effectiveness of the AI-enabled microlearning approach? 2What are the perceived benefits and challenges of using an AI chatbot in microlearning modules? Using a single case study design, we collected student perceptions through a survey and semi -structured interviews with novice data science students. The results revealed mixed opinions about the effectiveness of the AI-enabled microlearning approach. Although students initially approached the tool with curiosity and interest, they encountered challenges due to its inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate responses. Nevertheless, participants recognized the potential of the AI tool in simplifying concepts and delivering prompt feedback, particularly for basic database queries. However, the AI tool's limitations in handling complex queries and technical errors affected its reliability. This pilot study emphasizes the need to refine AI tools to improve accuracy, consistency, and contextual understanding while incorporating interactive features and human support. Addressing these challenges would allow educators to harness AI tools more effectively for personalized, technology-enhanced learning in database management and other technical courses. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of AI-enabled microlearning as a valuable instructional approach for teaching introductory

Dear Editor,Visual localization relies on local features and searches a prestored GPS-tagged image database to retrieve the reference image with the highest similarity in feature spaces to predict the current location[1]-[3].For the conventional methods[4]-[6],local features are generally explored by multiple-stage feature extraction whichfirst detects and then describes key-point features[4],[7].

Intercultural competence has taken on renewed importance due to the increasingly diverse nature of work environments. The prevalence of virtual and remote teams in recent years has also contributed to the growing need for an interculturally trained workforce. There is a demand for graduates to be able to effectively work with those from cultures and backgrounds different from their own. Several higher education institutions in the United States have responded to this by first assessing their students using various assessments to determine their intercultural competence. Universities have further incorporated concepts of intercultural competence into their regular curriculum of study with the goal of equipping students with the skills to be successful in intercultural environments. This study is situated in a STEM classroom at the Polytechnic Institute of a large midwestern university. This study also attempts to address the dearth of literature pertaining to intercultural development in STEM fields with a specific focus on the cybersecurity discipline. This study is guided by the research question, how can intercultural competence be characterized for students enrolled in a first-year introductory cybersecurity course? The students enrolled in this course were provided trainings using portable intercultural learning modules (PIMs) focused on productive conflict management as well as the cultural influences on the intent and impact of communication practices. A rubric adapted from the behavioral rubric of Intercultural Skills Development was used to score 50 student reflections following the aforementioned intercultural training. The data was analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to understand the overall intercultural gains for all students. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering was used to analyze the data. The clustering algorithm helped to divide the students into two clusters, with one displaying high intercultur

In the healthcare industry, researchers have been developing machine learning models to automate diagnosing patients with respiratory illnesses based on their breathing patterns. However, these models do not consider the demographic biases, particularly sex bias, that often occur when models are trained with a skewed patient dataset. Hence, it is essential in such an important industry to reduce this bias so that models can make fair diagnoses. In this work, we examine the bias in models used to detect breathing patterns of two major respiratory diseases, i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COVID-19. Using decision tree models trained with audio recordings of breathing patterns obtained from two open-source datasets consisting of 29 COPD and 680 COVID-19-positive patients, we analyze the effect of sex bias on the models. With a threshold optimizer and two constraints (demographic parity and equalized odds) to mitigate the bias, we witness 81.43% (demographic parity difference) and 71.81 % (equalized odds difference) improvements. These findings are statistically significant.
Defect detection in manufacturing remains challenging, with traditional methods relying on inflexible, hardcoded image processing techniques. While deep learning approaches show promise, they often lack scalability ac...
