This study explored the effectiveness of the two computer-assisted modes: cooperative and individual on improving Iranian high school students’ reading comprehension. It was also concerned with investigating the effectiveness of the two computer-assisted modes on the participants’ foreign language learning anxiety (FLLA). The sample of the study consisted of two intact groups, each containing 2...

We propose a scalable and data-driven approach to learn shape distributions from large databases of healthy organs. To do so, volumetric segmentation masks are embedded into common probabilistic space that is learned with variational auto-encoding network. The resulting latent representations leveraged derive zeroshot few-shot methods for abnormal detection. proposed distribution learning illus...

Image analysis is a rapidly expanding field, with large diversity of applications in life sciences, including basic and clinical research, biology, etc. Since most of images in life science are acquired through microscopy, procedures and methods for image analysis present some specificities. In this chapter, an overview on the fundamentals of imaging, processing, staining and analysis in biolog...

introduction: diabetic retinopathy (dr) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. early diagnosis of dr is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (mas) as the first signs of dr is important. this paper addresses th...

We introduce the experiences of the Singapore ocular imaging team, iMED, in integrating image processing and computer-aided diagnosis research with clinical practice and knowledge, towards the development of ocular image processing technologies for clinical usage with potential impact. In this paper, we outline key areas of research with their corresponding image modalities, as well as providin...

For many years, speech has been the most natural and efficient means of information exchange for human beings. With the advancement of technology and the prevalence of computer usage, the design and production of speech recognition systems have been considered by researchers. Among this, lip-reading techniques encountered with many challenges for speech recognition, that one of the challenges b...

Computer-assisted language instruction systems that only perform syntactic processing of input sentences are not able to offer advice on pragmatic aspects of language use, and they cannot handle the variability generally afforded by natural languages to express a given propositional content. This paper describes a solution to this problem implemented as an extension to the existing Japanese tut...

Abstract: The use of computational tools has become notable in seed quality control to assist confirming lots higher potential. Thus, the aim this study was a approach investigate analysis morphological parameters that characterize primary root emergence evaluation tomato vigor. For purpose, five were analyzed for germination and vigor (seedling seedling images). A parallel made using computer-...
