Research Question: Timing and content of feedback-do they affect " preparation for future learning " ? Timing: Content: guided metacognitive affective cognitive directed/corrective Method: 3 groups, 3 different versions of Betty's Brain (each has different feedback) 10 weeks later, Betty's Brain again without any feedback how well does each group learn? (looked at how these differed between gro...

Synthetic speech usually suffers from bad F0 contour surface. The prediction of the underlying pitch targets robustly relies on the quality of the predicted prosodic structures, i.e. the corresponding sequences of tones and breaks. In the present work, we have utilized a linguistically enriched annotated corpus to build data-driven models for predicting prosodic structures with increased accura...

We apply rule induction, classifier combination and meta-learning (stacked classifiers) to the problem of bootstrapping high accuracy automatic annotation of corpora with pronunciation information. The task we address in this paper consists of generating phonemic representations reflecting the Flemish and Dutch pronunciations of a word on the basis of its orthographic representation (which in t...

A robust system that understands route instructions should be able to process instructions generated naturally by humans. Also desirable would be the ability to handle repairs and other modifications to existing instructions. To this end, we collected a corpus of spoken instructions (and modified instructions) produced by subjects provided with an origin and a destination. We found that instruc...

language has different functions and uses in society and social phenomena in functionalist grammar. so, linguistic phenomena can be studied through this approach. on the basis of functional theory, patterns of experience manifest in form of processes through idealistic meta-functions. accordingly, we can realize the linguisticbehavior of the poet or the writer in world representation studying d...

the meaningfulness of religion’s language is taking part in a form of life. without it, words, language and religious beliefs have no meaning at all. perceiving a religious belief and judge about it only in light of a form of life becomes possible. form of life as kai nielsen in his famous article “wittgensteinian fideism” (1967) explains, if viewed as a whole, could not be objected, because ea...

<p>The present study investigates the beliefs of students and teachers about corrective feedback (CF) regarding necessity, timing most effective types in technical English setting. This was conducted at National Technical University Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” with majoring Information Technology, Mathematics or Physics ranged between 18 22 years age. Methods includ...

We propose a framework for management of route information and provision of travel information in the context of public transportation systems. The information-management component combines information collected from diverse sources, and processes the information for the interests of service providers and travelers. Travelers may place queries via different types of devices and interfaces, and ...

In this article we report our research on building FEATURES—an intelligent web search engine that is able to perform real-time adaptive feature (i.e., keyword) and document learning. Not only does FEATURES learn from the user’s document relevance feedback, but it also automatically extracts and suggests indexing keywords relevant to a search query and learns from the user’s keyword relevance fe...
