Abstract The great shift of paradigm from teacher-centeredness to learner-centeredness has one major rationale in line with the definitions of autonomy, i.e., the capacity and willingness to act independently and in cooperation with others, so cooperation is looked upon as the manifestation of autonomy. In the present study, the researchers investigated the impact of training cooperative...

We present a new strategy for the creation of phonetic lexicons. As we argue, lexical resources for speech technology integration should be informed by transcriptions of spontaneous speech. We illustrate our strategy with examples from the dictionary DanPO (Danish Phonetic-Orthographic Dictionary) which is developed at the Center for Computational Modelling of Language (CMOL). For reference cor...

Oppsala Chart Processor is a l inguistic processor for phonological, morphological, and syntactic analysis. I t incorporates the basic mechanisms of the General Syntactic Processor. Linguistic rules as well as dictionary articles are presented to the processor in a procedural formalism, the UCP-formelism. The control of the processing rests upon the grammar and the dictionaries. Special attenti...

Matrix factorization algorithms are emerging as popular tools in many applications, especially dictionary learning method for recovering biomedical image data from noisy and ill-conditioned measurements. We introduce a novel dictionary learning algorithm based on augmented Lagrangian (AL) approach to learn dictionaries from exemplar data and it can be extended to general matrix factorization pr...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of concept mapping on the extent to which Iranian EFL learners retain new vocabularies and the degree of awareness toward vocabulary learning strategies they tended to use. To this end, a total of 40 Iranian EFL students were asked to participate in this study. They were randomly assigned to two equal groups; namely, experimental and control. The part...
