In this paper we present an isolated -word recognition system using first HMM to recognize the underlying sequence of phonemes, then DP and phoneme n -gram matching techniques to determi ne the corresponding nearest idealized phoneme sequences in the dictionary. Our approach is based on the observation that there is almost a one -to-one match between phonemes and letters in the official written...

Speech Recognition is one of the important application areas of Artificial Intelligence. Speech recognition is the process of converting the acoustic signals into corresponding text transcription. Achievement of the high speech recognition accuracy is the critical factor. It is very complex task to identify the speech spoken in different rates. Duration of the speech is one of the most importan...

This article examines the classroom learning environment in relation to achievement goal theory of motivation. Classroom structures are described in terms of how they make different types of achievement goals salient and as a consequence elicit qualitatively different patterns of motivation. Task, evaluation and recognition, and authority dimensions of classrooms are presented as examples of st...

This paper presents findings of a study of recognition vocabulary knowledge as a predictor of written Academic English Proficiency (AEP) and overall Academic Achievement in an English medium higher education program in an English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) context. Vocabulary knowledge was measured using a Timed YES/NO (TYN) test. AEP was assessed using an academic writing test based on IELTS....

Although, optical character recognition has made tremendous achievements in the area of desktop publishing, yet a huge amount of work is required to be done. Unlike Roman like languages, there are various languages possessing a large number of fonts and/or having complicated shapes. Arabic language is one of those languages, which is somewhat complicated in its construction. Although a reasonab...

Jérôme Lejeune's greatest achievement was the discovery of the genetic basis of Down's syndrome, which he named trisomy 21. His important research in human genetics, as well as his humanitarian spirit and fight against therapeutic abortion, rightly led to his recognition as the founder of modern genetics.

E-learning system which allows students’ confidence level evaluation with their voice when they answer to the question during achievement tests is proposed. Through experiments of comparison of students’ confidence level between the conventional (without evaluation) and the proposed (with evaluation), 17-57% of improvement is confirmed for the proposed e-learning system. Keywordslearnng system;...
