This method is especially designed for mandarin speaker dependent small size word set recognition. It has less complexity, less resource consumption but higher ARR (accurate recognition rate) compared with traditional HMM or NN approach. A large scale test on the task of 11 mandarin digits recognition shows that the WER(word error rate) can reach 3 86%. This method is suitable for being embedded in PDA (personal digital assistant), mobile phone and so on to perform voice controlling like digits dialing, name dialing, calculating, voice commanding, etc.展开更多

A great difference exists between the language application ability of learners and the actual conditions of teaching; great investments are put by both schools and teachers into teaching, but the teaching quality is not improved and also the teaching effect is not very ideal; the pass rate and excellent rate of CET4 and CET6 are pursued by many Chinese colleges and universities, and the strategy with an ocean of paper and examination-oriented intensive training methods are even applied, so that the internal rules of language teaching are seriously damaged.展开更多

CELP type vocoder, used as standard, supports the great stead quality even low bit rate. In this paper, the preprocessing of input speech to reduce the bit rate is different from the conventional vocoder. Different kinds of parameter are used for the preprocessing compared with the other parameters to t'md the more appropriate parameter for the vocoder. The Parameters are used to synthesize the speech not to encode or decode for coding technique so we proposed the simple algorithm not to have the influence on the processing time or the computation time. The parameters in the preprocessing step are speaking rate, duration, and PSOLA technique.展开更多

In the proposed approach, two commonly-used design patterns for handling complex conditional statements are selected, and they are the factory method pattern and the strategy pattem. Two pattern-directed refactoring approaches based on the two design patterns are proposed. Each approach contains a refactoring opportunities identification algorithm and an automated refactoring algorithm. After parsing the abstract syntax tree generated from source code, the refactoring opportunities are identified effectively and automatically. Then, for candidate code, refactoring algorithms are executed automatically, which are used to simplify or remove complex conditional statements. By empirical analysis and quality assessment, the code after refactoring has better maintainability and extensibility, and the proposed approach for automated pattern-directed refactoring succeeds to reduce code size and complexity of classes.展开更多

The issues of authorization for geospacial DRM are concentrated on. To geospacial DRM, one aspect is the declaration and enforcement of access rights, based on geographic aspects. To the approbation of digital geographic content, it is important to adopt online access to geodata through a special data infrastructure (SDI). This results in the interoperability requirements on three different levels: data model level, service level and access control level. The interaction between the data model and service level can be obtained by criterions of the open geospacial consortium (OGC), and the interaction of the access control level may be reached by declaring and enforcing access restrictions in GeoAC. Then an archetype enforcement based on GeoAC is elucidated. As one aspect of performing usage rights, the execution of access restrictions as an extension to a regular SDI is illuminated.展开更多

The autonomy of each unit was investigated in this foundation. The system unit was described using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontology. And the system semantics was also integrated. On these basics the communication among the system units was analyzed with an example of interaction between a machine and a warehouse. The control performances of information system units were investigated using Boolean matrix as a substitute for traditional process in RW theory, which reduced the computational complexity. This work established the foundation for the demand analysis, design and development of the distributed manufacture information system.展开更多

The Internet activities promote learners' self-monitoring ability, encourage the use of multimedia and network technology, and develop students' cooperation and participation. During the latest years, there have been many changes in education as these new technologies, including VLEs (Virtual Learning Environments), which have become an important part in the teaching/learning process. According to Tech Terms Computer Dictionary (2012), VLE is a virtual classroom where teachers and students communicate. VLEs have evolved as at an early stage, they were only ways of transmitting information: Teachers uploaded the multimedia resources and students read this information. At a higher stage, VLEs have become interactive. This means that students become active. We have designed a virtual environment where students, weekly, must contribute their opinions and comments in response to a required activity uploaded by the teacher. In this paper, we describe this weekly task and analyze students' opinion about this planned activity. The students become an active subject in this field. In this paper, we show how VLEs are no longer a means of transmitting information but a means of interaction as well as a way of motivating our students to be involved in their learning process展开更多

In college English teaching, implementing emotional education not only can teach knowledge to students, but also can help others to form perfect personality, to promote all-round development of students. However, fi'om the present situation, in college English teaching, it generally exists "focusing more on knowledge and less on emotion" phenomenon, which doesn't conform to the requirement of quality education. In college English teaching, conducting emotional education is necessary and imminent.展开更多

The study was carried out by means of a questionnaire which includes two parts, that is, achievement attributions scale and self-regulated language learning behaviors scale. 112 undergraduate students participated in the study. The results of data analysis proved that achievement attribution does influence self-regulated language learning behaviors and that different achievement attributions have different effects on self-regulated language learning behaviors. Based on the results implications for foreign language teaching are suggested.展开更多

The purpose is to identify the long-perplexing problem that Chinese students are reluctant to produce English prepositional structure in their writing. The research is a controlled experiment in a translation-based setting which provides empirical support for the claim that the level of awareness plays a crucial role in the learners' intake and written production the target form. The implication is that a more explicit pedagogical approach may be necessary.展开更多
