PURPOSE Degenerative retinal diseases, especially retinitis pigmentosa (RP), lead to severe peripheral visual field loss (tunnel vision), which impairs mobility. The lack of peripheral information leads to fewer horizontal eye movements and, thus, diminished scanning in RP patients in a natural environment walking task. This randomized controlled study aimed to improve mobility and the dynamic ...

In an attempt to improve the perception of vowel length contrasts in Japanese by L2 learners (L1 Korean), we compared two different training methods. The first one involved training L2 learners with sets of isolated words contrasting the vowels (Word training), whereas the other training involved presenting same words within sentences (Sentence training). Word training and sentence training bot...

Much research in handwriting recognition has focused on how to improve recognizers with constrained training set sizes. This paper presents the results of training a nearest-neighbor based online Japanese Kanji recognizer and a neural-network based online cursive English recognizer on a wide range of training set sizes, including sizes not generally available. The experiments demonstrate that i...
