A Set of Annotations for Supporting a TTS Application for Folktales
نویسنده
چکیده
In this short demonstration paper we present different layers of annotation for folktales we have been working on and which are in the process of being integrated in one set of annotations, which is mediated by a formal representation of the annotation elements in an ontological framework. We list in this short text the various modules of this annotation scheme. A main result of this work has been the implementation of a Text-to-Speech (TTS) application for folktales, which is the core of our demonstration system.

The Effects of Multimedia Annotations on Iranian EFL Learners’ L2 Vocabulary Learning
In our modern technological world, Computer-Assisted Language learning (CALL) is a new realm towards learning a language in general, and learning L2 vocabulary in particular. It is assumed that the use of multimedia annotations promotes language learners’ vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, this study set out to investigate the effects of different multimedia annotations (still picture annotatio...
متن کاملVisualization of Folktales on a Map by Coupling Dynamic DEVS Simulation within Google Earth
This paper deals with dynamic visualization of folktales on a map. The visualization is performed using a coupling of dynamic simulation with the google earth API. The simulation is based on the DEVS (Discrete EVent system Specification) formalism. We have defined a set of basic models to perform visualization of folktales using a software framework called DEVSimPy. DEVSimPy is a framework dedi...

This paper investigates the relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty for the period of 1990-2009 by using monthly data in the Iranian economy. The results of a two-step procedure such as Granger causality test which uses generated variables from the first stage as regressors in the second stage, suggests a positive relation between the mean and the variance of inflation. However...
متن کاملThe Thermo-Rheological Behavior of Bitumen
As a very important coating material in different applications, bitumen is a complex mixture of different chemicals. It is generally accepted that the principle of time-temperature superposition (TTS) holds for this material. In this study rheological measurements were carried out on four different bitumens. Different representations of the experimental data were examined to check failure or ho...
