This study examines the narrative approach of Shahnameh by Ferdowsi based on Bakhtin’s dialogism. The logic of dialogue, a narrative that describes the relationship between different views through dialogue and interaction and considers dialogue as the only way of communication. Dialogism is supplemented by concepts such as "polyphony", "the other voice" and "Carni...

”Aurally Informed Performance’ for mobile robots operating in natural environments brings difficult challenges, such as: localizing sound sources all around the robot; tracking these sources as they or the robot move; separate the sources as a pre-processing step for recognition and processing, in real-time; dialogue management and interaction in crowded conditions; evaluating performances of t...

the first spoken dialogue system developed for the persian language is introduced. this is a ticket reservation system with persian asr and nlu modules. the focus of the paper is on learning the dialogue management module. in this work, real on-line training data are used during the learning process. for on-line learning, the effect of the variations of discount factor (g) on the learning speed...

Observations across the heliosphere typically rely on in situ spacecraft observations producing time-series data. While often this data is analysed visually, it lends itself more naturally to our sense of sound. The simplest method converting oscillatory into audible sound audification—a one-to-one mapping samples audio samples—which has benefit that no information lost, thus a true representat...

a b s t r a c t introduction:we investigated differential role of cortical and subcortical regions in verbal and non-verbal sound processing in ten patients who were native speakers of persian with unilateral cortical and/or unilateral and bilateral subcortical lesions and 40 normal speakers as control subjects. methods: the verbal tasks included monosyllabic, disyllabic dichotic and diotic tas...

Human-computer interaction can be enhanced by employing multiple modalities in the dimensions of sound, sight, and touch. The integration of speech with gestures, can make the human-computer dialogue more natural and efficient. However, even for limited domain applications, computer dialogue systems impose a constraint upon the language rules and vocabulary that users can employ. This is becaus...
