Multi-stream automatic speech recognition (MSASR) has been confirmed to boost the recognition performance in noisy conditions. In this system, the generation and the fusion of the streams are the essential parts and need to be designed in such a way to reduce the effect of noise on the final decision. This paper shows how to improve the performance of the MS-ASR by targeting two questions; (1) ...

The use of virtual reality technologies in the evaluation process of the dyslexia syndrome has yet to be explored and is a true challenge for the scientists involved. The goal of this study was to design specialized tasks with the use of virtual reality, as a screening process of characteristic memory difficulties for undergraduate students diagnosed with dyslexia. Results showed that there wer...

ndudablemente, MS-DOSR (MicroSoft Disk Operating System) ha sido el sistema operativo de mayor éxito en la historia, estando presente en una amplia base de equipos de tipo personal. Si bien se le considera obsoleto después de la aparición de nuevos sistemas tales como Windows, DOS aún representa una herramienta flexible y sumamente poderosa como monitor para equipos dedicados, principalmente pa...

This thesis descnbes the research and development into the intelligent tutoring system called JASMINE (JAVA Adaptive Student Modelling In a NLP Environment). JASMINE is designed to address the ideas of adaptive and responsive, presentation and remediation in tutonng. Remediation is indicated when the confidence level of a given fragment of knowledge falls below a set mastery level. As a result,...

Delayed or disordered language is a characteristic of both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI). In this paper, we describe our data set, which consists of transcribed data from a widely used clinical diagnostic instrument (the ADOS) for children with ASD and children with SLI. These transcripts are manually annotated with SALT, an annotation system that applies...

* Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the University of Cambridge Looking at Language Acquisition II Workshop (May 2001), Fourth Durham Postgraduate Conference in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (June 2001) and Eurosla 11 (September 2001). I would like to thank the audiences for their insightful comments. My gratitude also goes to Roger Hawkins for his advice, to all the Spanis...

Systems science is defined in general fashion, and a brief background is provided that lists some of the systems science-related societies, conferences, journals, research institutes, and educational programs. The Systems Science Graduate Program at Portland State University in Portland, OR, USA, is described in detail, including its history, curriculum, students, faculty, and degrees granted. ...
