Postgraduate educationPostgraduate education, graduate education, or grad school, refers to academic or professional degrees, certificates, diplomas, or other qualifications usually pursued by post-secondary students who have earned an undergraduate (bachelor's) degree. The organization and structure of postgraduate education varies in different countries, as well as in different institutions within countries.
Activity recognitionActivity recognition aims to recognize the actions and goals of one or more agents from a series of observations on the agents' actions and the environmental conditions. Since the 1980s, this research field has captured the attention of several computer science communities due to its strength in providing personalized support for many different applications and its connection to many different fields of study such as medicine, human-computer interaction, or sociology.
Habilitation universitaireL'habilitation est la plus haute qualification universitaire qu'une personne puisse recevoir dans certains pays, notamment européens. Faisant suite à un doctorat, l'habilitation exige du candidat la rédaction d'une deuxième thèse, soutenue devant un jury qui peut être analogue à celui du doctorat. Aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni et dans d'autres pays influencés par le modèle anglo-saxon, le doctorat est suffisant pour enseigner à l'université et diriger des thèses.
Models of scientific inquiryModels of scientific inquiry have two functions: first, to provide a descriptive account of how scientific inquiry is carried out in practice, and second, to provide an explanatory account of why scientific inquiry succeeds as well as it appears to do in arriving at genuine knowledge. The philosopher Wesley C. Salmon described scientific inquiry: The search for scientific knowledge ends far back into antiquity.
