Open angle glaucoma effects on preattentive visual search (PAVS) efficiency for flicker, motion displacement and orientation pop-out tasks.

In this paper, we introduce a novel Java implementation of multiple inter-rater agreement measures, which we make available as open-source software. Besides assessing the reliability of coding tasks using S, π, κ, α, etc., we particularly support unitizing tasks by measuring αU as the agreement of the boundaries of the identified annotation units. We provide a unified interface and data model f...

This paper presents a mixed deterministic model for coreference resolution in the CoNLL-2012 shared task. We separate the two main stages of our model, mention detection and coreference resolution, into several sub-tasks which are solved by machine learning method and deterministic rules based on multi-filters, such as lexical, syntactic, semantic, gender and number information. We participate ...

This book documents how teachers, working in school foreign language learning contexts and teaching beginner learners of languages other than English, learn about use tasks. It first presents a pedagogically researched account teachers about, design evaluate tasks, after being introduced to TBLT during an in-service programme. The authors then go into classrooms explore ways which continue as p...

secure electronic transaction (set) protocol is an open protocol, which has the potential to emerge as a powerful tool in securing of electronic transactions. the quality of a design of an ecommerce protocols has a great influence on achieving non-functional requirements (nfrs) to the system. an increasingly important non-functional attribute of complex software systems is adaptability. softwar...

For years speech translation has focused on the recognition and translation of discourses in limited domains, such as hotel reservations or scheduling tasks. Only recently research projects have been started to tackle the problem of open domain speech recognition and translation of complex tasks such as lectures and speeches. In this paper we present the on-going work at our laboratory in open ...

Today’s speech recognition systems are able to recognize arbitrary sentences over a large but finite vocabulary. However, many important speech recognition tasks feature an open, constantly changing vocabulary. (E.g. broadcast news transcription, translation of political debates, etc. Ideally, a system designed for such open vocabulary tasks would be able to recognize arbitrary, even previously...

this experimental study examined the effectiveness of using focused and unfocused tasks on iranianintermediate efl learners’ performance in producing noun, adjective, and adverb clauses. in addition,the aim of this study was to explore the effects of form-focused instruction and the feedback studentsreceived from their teacher after doing focused grammar tasks. data consisted of the scores ofth...
