    Keeping the pace in CS-1 through the use of CMS
    (ACM, 2009) Kültür, Can
    In this poster, it is aimed to share the experience of using course management systems (CMS) in a CS-1 course. The aim was to focus on the individual needs of students while learning programming. Creating a social online environment for solving exercises and sharing solutions seemed to be effective to support instructors as well as students.

    Towards heuristic algorithmic memory
    (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2011) Özkural, Eray
    We propose a long-term memory design for artificial general intelligence based on Solomonoff's incremental machine learning methods. We introduce four synergistic update algorithms that use a Stochastic Context-Free Grammar as a guiding probability distribution of programs. The update algorithms accomplish adjusting production probabilities, re-using previous solutions, learning programming idioms and discovery of frequent subprograms. A controlled experiment with a long training sequence shows that our incremental learning approach is effective. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
