Simulated and Real ECT

Comparing Real-Real, Simulated-Simulated, and Simulated-Real Spoken Dialogue Corpora

User simulation is used to generate large corpora for using reinforcement learning to automatically learn the best policy for spoken dialogue systems. Although this approach is becoming increasingly popular, the differences between simulated and real corpora are not well studied. We build two simulation models to interact with an intelligent tutoring system. Both models are trained on two diffe...

Real and Simulated Altitude Training and Performance

Real vs. simulated relativistic jets

Intensive VLBI monitoring programs of jets in AGN are showing the existence of intricate emission patterns, such as upstream motions or slow moving and quasi-stationary componentes trailing superluminal features. Relativistic hydrodynamic and emission simulations of jets are in very good agreement with these observations, proving as a powerful tool for the understanding of the physical processe...

Illumination discrimination in real and simulated scenes

Characterizing humans' ability to discriminate changes in illumination provides information about the visual system's representation of the distal stimulus. We have previously shown that humans are able to discriminate illumination changes and that sensitivity to such changes depends on their chromatic direction. Probing illumination discrimination further would be facilitated by the use of com...

Comparison: real and simulated ear insertion gain.

UNLABELLED The development of hearing aid (HA) software programming does not replace the analysis of real ears with probe microphones. AIM To compare simulated insertion gain in HA software programming and real ear insertion gain. METHOD A prospective study of 62 patients (aged from 29 to 93 years; 30 male and 32 female). All patients presented unilateral (n=14) or bilateral (n=48) and mild...
