This paper characterizes the methodology of Artificial Intelligence by looking at research in speech understanding, a field where AI approaches contrast starkly with the alternatives, particularly engineering approaches. Four values of AI stand out as influential: ambitious goals, introspective plausibility, computational elegance, and wide significance. The paper also discusses the utility and...

Geoffrey Leech’s ideas have been inspirational both to Corpus-based computational linguists in general, and to me personally: first as a student and Researcher Associate at Lancaster University, then as a Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence at Leeds University. This chapter focuses on research at Lancaster and Leeds building on Geoffrey Leech’s ideas, looking in particular at how corpus resourc...

This paper outlines a model of accenting that is based on a combination of syntactic/metrical and semantic/pragmatic considerations. The model, called the blackboard model of accenting in an allusion to the blackboard architectures used in artificial intelligence, explains how the interaction of various factors (namely ‘triggers’ as well as ‘obstacles’ for accenting) determines the locations of...

The muroja'ah application in Al-Qur'an memorizing is an android-based that used to help memorizers of the Al-Qur’an doing memorization. built using Speech Recognition Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology by implementing Google API and Rabin Karp Algorithm convert user's speech into a string which then compared with correct verse string. As for data collection methods, author uses qualitative...

BACKGROUND This hospital-based study explored how effectively parents discern their children's cognitive deficits at a preschool age since few studies have addressed preschool children's cognitive problems. METHODS One hundred and forty-six preschool children suspected of possessing a cognitive deficit were recruited and subjected to further cognitive assessments. All parental concerns for th...

What Hayes (2009, p. 5) highlights is the increasing use of information technology in support of surveillance and intelligence gathering in a range of policing methodologies that impact on the daily lives of an increasingly large part of the modern population. Most policing is intrusive and can infringe on individual rights and freedoms. The policing methodologies of surveillance and intelligen...

This paper analyses and compares term weighting methods for automatic verbal intelligence identification from speech. Two different corpora are used; the first one contains monologues on the same topic; the second one contains dialogues between two or three people. The problem is described as a text classification task with two classes: low and high verbal intelligence. Seven different term wei...
