Background noise can have a significant impact on the performance of speech recognition systems. A range of fast featurespace and model-based schemes have been investigated to increase robustness. Model-based approaches typically achieve lower error rates, but at an increased computational load compared to feature-based approaches. Thismakes their use inmany situations impractical. The uncertai...

Taking pragmatic, systems engineering approach, this paper identifies a number of fundamental issues that presently arise in risk management, primarily as a result of the overly complex approach conventionally taken in process definition and a lack of coherence within the current risk management vocabulary. The aim of the paper is to enable a fundamental simplification of the risk management pr...

the importance of vocabulary learning has been underlined in the field of english for academic purposes (eap) because non-english majors who require reading english texts in their fields of study have to expand their english vocabulary knowledge much more efficiently than ordinary esl/efl learners. since academic vocabulary instruction in iranian universities is realized through the use of gene...

this study aims to compare the effects of four types of ffi on second language vocabulary learning. to do so, the study adopted a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, including five groups, each receiving a distinct treatment. the participants were 80 fourth-grade male students ranging in age from 17 to 19. before the treatment phase, the participants took a researcher-made test of vocab...

Deep neural networks are playing an important role in state-of-the-art visual recognition. To represent high-level visual concepts, modern networks are equipped with large convolutional layers, which use a large number of filters and contribute significantly to model complexity. For example, more than half of the weights of AlexNet are stored in the first fully-connected layer (4,096 filters). ...

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of peer and teacher scaffolding through a process approach in a technology-enhanced environment on vocabulary learning among high and low self-regulated learners. Participants of the study were 120 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners who were selected based on their scores on a sample copy of the Oxford Placement Test (OPT). T...

The Extent of Using the Basic Vocabulary in the First Grade Quran Textbook S. B. Alavi Moghaddam, Ph.D. Textbooks need to be written in such a way that their readers can understand the written texts. One way of ensuring this objective in first grade textbooks would be the use of basic vocabulary, as determined by Ne'matzadeh, et.al. (1384). Considering the importance of the Quran text...
