One challenge in spoken language recognition is the availability of training data. In this paper, we propose a virtual example construction method to derive artificial training examples from the existing training data. Using the proposed method, both target virtual examples and non-target virtual examples can be derived from the available training samples. An iterative virtual example selection...

iran’s industry has had a considerable number of difficulties to perform so well as was expected in the post – revolutionary era. unfavorable legal, political environments combined with eight –year imposed war may be singled out as the root causes of such performances. however, this paper argues that our industry’s lack of realization of its dire need to adapt to the emerging unprecedented envi...

In this technical report we describe describe the Domain Specific Language (DSL) of the Workflow Execution Execution (WEE) introduced in [1, 2]. Instead of interpreting an XML based workflow description language like BPEL, the WEE uses a minimized but expressive set of statements that runs directly on to of a virtual machine that supports the Ruby language. Frameworks/Virtual Machines supportin...

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) create large virtual communities. Online gaming shows potential not just for entertaining, but also in education. This research investigates the use of commercial MMORPGs to support second language teaching. MMORPGs offer virtual safe spaces in which students can communicate by using their target second language with global players. Usin...

Objective – Chat transcript analysis can illuminate user needs by identifying common question topics, but traditional hand coding methods for topic are time-consuming and poorly suited to large datasets. The research team explored the viability of automatic natural language processing (NLP) strategies perform rapid on a dataset transcripts from consortial chat service. Methods developed toolcha...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of using standards of designing electronic courses in educational contents of state-virtual universities in iran. the method of the study was a descriptive-survey one. the statistical population was the educational content of electronic courses in state-virtual universities such as university of science and technology, and shiraz university. da...

One way of making learning English language interesting is through its gamified instruction, especially nowadays that most teachings are done virtually. Doing so, however, requires a valid framework. To construct such a framework a set of 22 peer reviewed papers on language learning and gamified teaching, from among 94 of such papers, was content analyzed and key concepts, and frequently used e...
