In this work, we propose a novel method for vocabulary selection which enables simultaneous speech recognition systems for lectures to automatically adapt to the diverse topics that occur in educational and scientific lectures. Utilizing materials that are available before the lecture begins, such as lecture slides, our proposed framework iteratively searches for related documents on the World ...

Multimodal alignment between classroom lecture utterances and lecture slide components is one of the crucial problems to realize a multimodal e-Learning application. This paper proposes the new method for the automatic alignment, and formulates the alignment as the integer linear programming (ILP) problem to maximize the score function which consists of three factors: the similarity score betwe...

Background Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease that decreases bone mass, causes destruction and eventually friability. This disease is preventable, and because adolescent females are the high-risk population, teaching this age group is of the utmost importance. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the two educational methods (Lecture and Pamphlet) on osteoporos...

In this lecture note, I show how to derive discrete Painlevé equations from birational representations of affine Weyl groups and a method constructing special solutions to discrete Painlevé equations by using τ functions. This lecture note is based on the paper [21] and the lecture in the topic “Difference algebra and algebro-geometric methods” at the ASIDE meeting [20]. This work has been part...

We propose a language model adaptation method with the use of presentation slide information for automatic lecture transcription. N-gram probabilities are rescaled with lecture-dependent unigram probabilities estimated by PLSA using all slides of the lecture. In addition, the N-gram language model is interpolated with a model trained with the Web texts collected via the Web search, using keywor...

introduction: considering the efficiency of active teaching methods, current study is designed to compare the effect of lecture and question-answer methods on learning outcome and satisfaction of physiology course among medical and pharmacy students. methods: in this semi-experimental study, medical and pharmacy students which have been registered in physiology course, divided randomly into two...

From the beginning of 21st century, leaning stratigies have been changed from traditional to information and communication based. A critical review published articles about blended has conducted highlight importance significance both learning stratigies. Thirty-six (36) research in various databases disciplines selected for review. The literature showed that most studies, strategy proved be mor...
