A computational model for simulating text comprehension.

A confirmatory study of Differential Item Functioning on EFL reading comprehension

The  present  study  aimed  at  investigating  DIF  sources  on  an  EFL  reading  comprehension test.  Accordingly,  2  DIF  detection  methods,  logistic  regression  (LR)  and  item  response theory  (IRT),  were  used  to  flag  emergent  DIF  of  203  (110  females  &  93  males)  Iranian EFL examinees’ performance on a reading comprehension test. Seven hypothetical DIF sources were examin...

Book Reviews: Time-constrained Memory: A Reader-based Approach to Text Comprehension

The computational model proposed in this book is incompatible with any theory that assumes that a single, invariant interpretation is built as a result of comprehending a particular text. The book also challenges the claim that traditional formal theories of syntax, semantics, and reasoning can adequately implement text comprehension on a computer. Corriveau's computational model is called IDIO...

Towards an end-to-end computational model of speech comprehension: simulating a lexical decision task

This paper describes a computational model of speech comprehension that takes the acoustic signal as input and predicts reaction times as observed in an auditory lexical decision task. By doing so, we explore a new generation of end-to-end computational models that are able to simulate the behaviour of human subjects participating in a psycholinguistic experiment. So far, nearly all computation...

Multiscale Multiphysic Mixed Geomechanical Model for Deformable Porous Media Considering the Effects of Surrounding Area

Porous media of hydro-carbon reservoirs is influenced from several scales. Effective scales of fluid phases and solid phase are different. To reduce calculations in simulating porous hydro-carbon reservoirs, each physical phenomenon should be assisted in the range of its effective scale. The simulating with fine scale in a multiple physics hydro-carbon media exceeds the current computational ca...
