According to the UN Refugee Agency's annual Global Trends Report, 68.5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as of June 2018. This humanitarian crisis raises the question of responsibility on host countries to address the dire need for education access. Questions around how existing adult refugee educational programs should be evaluated remain relatively unexplored. The purpose of this review is to examine existing bodies of academic literature on how evaluation is applied in adult educational programming for refugees within community organizations and how programs utilize evaluation to improve their effectiveness in serving adult refugee populations in the United States. This literature review explores two questions: (1) how is evaluation structured in practice in nonformal educational programs for refugee young adults and adults in the United States? (2) What outcomes typically follow the implementation of evaluation within these programs (i.e. does evaluation influence the effectiveness and accessibility of adult educational programming, such as by providing educational and vocational training?). Considerations which emerged from this review include utilizing theory knitting in evaluation to reduce theoretical segregation and accumulate additional theory that may be present within the current literature. Exploring socio-cultural capital frameworks such as Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth can further categorize and investigate additional experiences based on specific ethnicities in emerging literature within refugee integration in a country of resettlement in addition to Ager and Strang’s Understanding Integration Framework. Lastly, to better identify the approaches on use of evaluation within the scope of nonformal adult educational settings for adult refugees, expanding Alkin & Christie’s Evaluation Theory Tree to include international perspectives from the development sector should be considered.

T 5,000 images for a dataset, cropping those images, creating variations (reversing, rotating, etc.), and training for a few thousand epochs to create even more extensions of those 500 to 5,000 images. In turn, these GANs will make a study of the pixel arrangements of those natural patterns, assign them coordinates and weights, and then reconstruct these clusters and patterns into new, unseen compositions. The aesthetic value of this output as photography is questionable. The output of these GANs is to produce endless variations of the dataset—in other words, to produce even more of these 5,000 images. The practice is instead a form of artistic research, a way of bringing the affordances of GANs into embodiment through my motions: scanning the landscapes, moving my body toward whatever dataset I am trying to construct. It is the act of constructing this dataset through a blend of artistic eye and mechanical detachment that forms the true body of the work. As a result of this practice, my vision as a photographer has shifted. The rules of photographic composition are pointless to an AI eye. Just as the camera and norms of photography The camera began to train photographers in 1816. Photography developed a set of rules, and a photographer may follow those rules when scouring the landscape for images, or else work with the camera to produce new ways of recording the world. Through repetition, the practices become instincts or habits. The camera, as a tool to capture what we see, changes how we see. As the philosopher Vilém Flusser writes, “Photographers have power over those who look at their photographs, they program their actions; and the camera has power over the photographers, it programs their acts” [1]. As an AI artist working on training generative adversarial networks (GAN) on my own datasets, I often take photographs of natural patterns found on walks along beaches or forest trails.

为一个数据集提取5000张图像,裁剪这些图像,创建变化(反转、旋转等),并训练几千个epoch,以创建这500到5000张图像的更多扩展。反过来,这些gan将研究这些自然图案的像素排列,分配它们的坐标和权重,然后将这些簇和图案重建成新的、看不见的组合。作为摄影作品,这种输出的美学价值值得怀疑。这些gan的输出是产生无尽的数据集的变化——换句话说,产生更多的这5000张图像。相反,这种实践是一种艺术研究的形式,一种通过我的动作将gan的功能体现出来的方式:扫描景观,移动我的身体到我试图构建的任何数据集。这是通过艺术眼光和机械分离的融合来构建这个数据集的行为,形成了作品的真正主体。由于这种实践,我作为摄影师的视野发生了变化。摄影构图的规则对人工智能来说毫无意义。正如照相机和摄影的规范一样,照相机从1816年开始训练摄影师。摄影发展了一套规则,摄影师在寻找风景图像时可能会遵循这些规则,或者使用相机来创造记录世界的新方式。通过重复,实践成为本能或习惯。照相机作为一种捕捉我们所见的工具,改变了我们看待事物的方式。正如哲学家维尔卡姆·弗卢瑟(vil m Flusser)所写的那样,“摄影师对那些看他们照片的人有影响力,他们规划自己的行为;相机对摄影师有影响力,它给他们的行为设定了“b[1]”。作为一名在自己的数据集上训练生成对抗网络(GAN)的人工智能艺术家,我经常拍摄沿着海滩或森林小径散步时发现的自然模式的照片。这是为了建立一个郊游的数据集,训练一个模型,然后生成一个扩展的,模拟的漫游。我一次拍摄几百张这样的照片,这是训练GAN的最低要求,或者更确切地说,是为了扩展StyleGAN2的训练,以根据我自己的照片生成图像。GAN摄影是一种带着相机进入世界的实践,收集了500个像数据集一样看的AI摄影笔记
