Incremental Refinements and Multiple Descriptions With Feedback

L2 Writing Feedback Preferences and Their Relationships with Entity vs. Incremental Mindsets of EFL Learners

The present study was aimed at investigating intermediate Iranian EFL learners’ feedback preferences on their L2 writing and examining the possible differences between learners with entity and incremental language mindsets with respect to their feedback preferences. To this end, 150 EFL learners were recruited from several language institutes in Isfahan, Iran, and their language proficiency lev...

Incremental Machine Descriptions for GCC

The mechanism of providing machine descriptions to the GCC framework has been quite successful as demonstrated by a wide variety of the targets for which a GCC port exists. However, this mechanism is quite ad hoc and the machine descriptions are difficult to construct, understand, maintain, and enhance because of the verbosity, the amount of details, and the repetitiveness. The publicly availab...

Diagnosing Multiple Interacting Defects with Combination Descriptions

Cases with multiple defects can be difficult to diagnose because the defects can interact, meaning that the observable cues are not a sum of the cues for the component defects. Diagnostic methods that use cueto-defect relationships fail when interactions between defects change the observable cues. The primary alternative, model-based methods, are limited to domains with accurate and complete mo...

Multiple Descriptions , Error Concealment , and Re ned Descriptions for Image

{ This paper demonstrates the conservative nature of a multiple description approach to image and video coding, by showing that error con-cealment of a sub-optimally partitioned coded image stream yields comparable results under realistic conditions. Rather than use the non-orthogonal transforms of multiple description coding, which result in excess rate when both streams are received, a standa...
