In this paper, we describe three approaches of continuous speech recognition. Two of them (referred to as (W,P) and (W',P) models) take into account pronunciation variants of words. They allow to handle (very common) phonological french phenomena like liaisons or mute-e elision. The (W',P) model introduces the phonotypical level as defined in the MHAT Model [4,5]. Comparing (W,P) and (W',P) mod...

This paper describes two preliminary experiments concerned with the construction of a robot head. The initial design and research is aimed at producing a system with two cameras and two microphones on a system capable of operating with the same degrees of freedom and reflex times as its biological counterpart. Whilst the primary goal of the project is develop an anthropomorphic system with the ...

THEWORK OF DIVERSITY IN LIBRARIES BEGINS at the crossroad where superiority, inaction, and denial become intolerable. Yet in working toward true diversity, we work without the familiar construct of a mainstream. We respond to, or ignore, repetitive critique of being too exclusive or not inclusive enough. We decide whether it is appropriate to quantify the existence of a people or to trust what ...

I propose a comprehensive account of negation as a modal operator, vindicating a moderate logical pluralism. Negation is taken as a quantifier on worlds, restricted by an accessibility relation encoding the basic concept of compatibility. This latter captures the core meaning of the operator. While some candidate negations are then ruled out as violating plausible constraints on compatibility, ...

This research is on the effective factors influencing on the participation of women and girls in development of rural areas in Farsan Villages. The sample size is chosen through 370 ones in four villages populated more than 1000 households families. The results show that the increased level of education influences on women's and girl's participation in development. There is a significant relat...

Purpose: This study addresses the limitations of current short abstracts DBPEDIA entities, which often lack a comprehensive overview due to their creating method (i.e., selecting first two-three sentences from full abstracts). Methodology: We leverage pre-trained language models generate abstractive summaries in six languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch). performed sev...

historical development of variety of methods in educational inquiry shows that with regard to complexity of educational issues that derived itself from human being complexity, we can't answer different questions of scholars by just one unit method. phenomenology as philosophical movement by introducing of subjects such as conciseness, intentionality, reduction, constitution, intersubjectivity, ...

This paper consists five sections. The first section provides a general preview of language phonemes and some phonological conditions, it also deals with phonemic cases in Kurdish language. As far as the second is concerned, elision change these sounds their roles assimilation formation new words are stated. third clarifies influences changing simple out compound words. Similarly, four explains...

In this paper we investigate how contemporary model-driven engineering technologies such as Xtext, EMF and Epsilon compare against mainstream techniques and tools (C++, flex and Bison) for the development of a complex textual modelling language and family of supporting code generators (Apache Thrift). Our preliminary results indicate that the MDE-based implementation delivers significant benefi...

Taiwan Mandarin syllable contraction is a lenition process which involves the elision of the intervocalic segments and the merger of the tonal elements of two syllables. Trough depth is employed as the measure for gradience of syllable contraction in this study and the distribution of trough depth shows that syllable contraction is optional. In the perception experiment, listeners were asked to...
