This paper presents “BachBot”: an end-to-end automatic composition system for composing and completing music in the style of Bach’s chorales using a deep long short-term memory (LSTM) generative model. We propose a new sequential encoding scheme for polyphonic music and a model for both composition and harmonization which can be efficiently sampled without expensive Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MC...

Clinical supervision and training are now widely available online. In this article, three of the most accessible and widely adopted new developments in clinical supervision and training technology are described: Videoconference supervision, cloud-based file sharing software, and clinical outcome tracking software. Partial transcripts from two online supervision sessions are provided as examples...

E-supervision has a potential role in addressing speech-language personnel shortages in rural and difficult to staff school districts. The purposes of this article are twofold: to determine how e-supervision might support graduate speech-language pathologist (SLP) interns placed in rural, remote, and difficult to staff public school districts; and, to investigate interns' perceptions of in-pers...

Lately, there has been an impetus on supervision of schools towards improving quality of education. The potential of supervision in bringing improvement in classroom practices and student success through the professional growth and improvement of teachers has been well documented and widely recognized. In India, the concept of supervision and the purpose it has acquired at the practice level un...

“It’s 10 PM, do you know where your children are?” This ominous public service announcement that was the catch-phrase for broadcaster Tom Gregory on New York City’s WNEW-TV in the late 1960s, may sound dated these days, but the importance of the message remains stronger than ever. It has been clear for years that adolescents whose parents monitor and are aware of their activities participate in...

Observing that most variations in pronunciation are strongly speaker and speaking style dependent, and that the introduction of pronunciation variants in a speaker-independent recognition system is of limited success, we refrain from applying multiple pronunciation variants in the speakerindependent case and instead introduce pronunciation variants without supervision when specializing the reco...

Nine counselling psychology students were enrolled in a 12-week pilot practicum (i.e. a work placement) for either one hour of course credit (six students) or three hours (three students). Group supervision was provided both in-person and by videoconferencing. Each trainee completed a measure evaluating their satisfaction with supervision (Supervisory Satisfaction Questionnaire, SSQ) and the su...

Recently the field of machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining has witnessed a new research stream that is learning with partial supervision -LPS(known also as semi-supervised learning). This learning scheme is motivated by the fact that the process of acquiring the labeling information of data could be quite costly and sometimes prone to mislabeling. The general spectrum of learn...
