This paper proposes a method of segmentation that segments lecture videomaterial into subtopics based on speech signals for creation of educational video contents. To represent subtopics of video segments, the text recognized by automatic speech recognition (ASR) from a lecture speech was converted into an index using independent component analysis (ICA) instead of conventional TFIDF. This rese...

In this paper, we highlight two q-series identities arising from the “five guidelines” approach to enumerating lecture hall partitions and give direct, qseries proofs. This requires two new finite corollaries of a q-analog of Gauss’s second theorem. In fact, the method reveals stronger results about lecture hall partitions and anti-lecture hall compositions that are only partially explained com...

This is a summary of ve lectures delivered at the CIME course on "Advanced Numerical Approximation of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations" held in Cetraro, Italy, on June 1997. Following the introductory lecture I | which provides a general overview of approximate solution to nonlinear conservation laws, the remaining lectures deal with the speciics of four complementing topics: Lecture II. Finite-d...

background: team-based learning (tbl) is a structured type of cooperative learning that has growing application in medical education. this study compares levels of student learning and teaching satisfaction for a neurology course between conventional lecture and team-based learning. methods: the study incorporated 70 students aged 19 to 22 years at the school of rehabilitation. one half of the ...

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting the location of the speaker that is a target of automatic video filming in distance learning and lecture archive. It is required that a face of a speaking student is filmed in a lecture video. For this purpose, it is necessary to detect the location of a speaker. An acoustic sensor such as a microphone array is used widely to detect the location ...
