In this article, growable deep modular neural networks for continuous speech recognition are introduced. These networks can be grown to implement the spatio-temporal information of the frame sequences at their input layer as well as their labels at the output layer at the same time. The trained neural network with such double spatio-temporal association structure can learn the phonetic sequence...

تعاریفی که برای نفی در اکثر کتابهای گرامری فارسی و انگلیسی آمده ناکافی است زیرا نفی می تواند به چند طریق مختلف بکار رود: می تواند متضاد جمله مثبت باشد، می تواند عدم کیفیت مثبت را تاکید نماید، و میتواند به عملی اطلاق شود که انجام نشده است . دان ل.ف . نیلسون معتقد است که نفی در معنای وسیع خود "موضوع بزرگ و سخت توصیفی است " . در این رساله مسائل مختلف مربوط به نفی در فارسی و انگلیسی مورد بررسی قرار...

in this project, some new polyaspartimides, (pas)s, have been synthesized form michael addition reaction between new synthetic bismaleimide (bmi) and some aromatic diamines. a characteristic property of this polyaspartimides is a pendent carboxylic group, which introduced to these polymers from new bismaleimide. bismaleimides (bmi) is one of the interesting compounds, which can be self-polymeri...

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...
