Electronic Quality of Life Assessment Using Computer-Adaptive Testing

BACKGROUND Quality of life (QoL) questionnaires are desirable for clinical practice but can be time-consuming to administer and interpret, making their widespread adoption difficult. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to assess the performance of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-100 questionnaire as four item banks to facilitate adaptive testing using simulated computer adaptive test...

Advances in Adaptive Computer Technology

The tremendous progress in microelectronics no longer linearly translates into increased computer performance. While we can build chips with billions of transistors, the processor architectures implemented on them still follow patterns developed in the mid-1940s for vacuum-tube based systems. As an alternative, we propose to use the silicon real estate to implement processors following a differ...

Carnival-combining speech technology and computer animation.

Speech is powerful information technology and the basis of human interaction. By emitting streams of buzzing, popping, and hissing noises from our mouths, we transmit thoughts, intentions, and knowledge of the world from one mind to another. We’re accustomed to thinking of speech as an acoustic, auditory phenomenon. However, speech is also visible. Although the primary function of speech is to ...

Computer Vision Technology for X-ray Testing

X-ray testing has been developed for inspection of materials or objects, where the aim is to analyze –nondestructively– those inner parts that are undetectable to the naked eye. Thus, Xray testing is used to determine if a test object deviates from a given set of specifications. Typical applications are inspection of automotive parts, quality control of welds, screening of baggage, analysis of ...
