The present study investigated the psychometric characteristics of the CAP rating scale (Wang, 2015) for assessing interactional competence at micro-level. To this end, 160 Iranian intermediate EFL learners were selected based on their performance on TOEFL iBT test from ...

First, we collected behavioral data from human participants, and this data was simulated with machine learning techniques, which determined o...
متن کاملFrom Salient Features to Scene Description

We develop the concepts underlying the Kadir and Brady feature detection algorithm [2], namely feature space unpredictability and spatial localisation, to characterise, what is termed, the semilocal predicta...
