Changing Classroom Instruction: One Teacher's Perspective.
After many years of looking for effective teaching practices, a high school teacher now sees where the focus of change needs to be.
Intellectual engagement and other principles of mathematics instruction
What can American teachers learn about high-quality mathematics instruction from the Japanese teacher education process?
Research on Fracture Recognition in Well Logging Images: Adversarial Learning with Attention
Semantic recognition of fractures in well logging images is vital for engineers to implement oil and gas exploration. An essential approach to accomplishing the object is to adopt deep learning based on convolutional neural networks. However, due to the lack of annotated labels in well logging images, it is scarcely available to directly train the semantic segmentation network. In this paper, we explore a domain shift model attempting to achieve domain adaptation from one annotated dataset to our target well logging images. This model's core is to utilize adversarial learning, including generator and discriminator, which can prompt the model to generate fracture segmentation similar to the source domain in the target domain. For enhancing the domain adaptive model further, an attention module is introduced, which can suppress redundant noise in semantic segmentation results. We demonstrate that our proposed model performs well by extensive tests and ablation experiments in the ultrasonic well logging images.
