The difficulty of web based learning is to provide the appropriate support for the learners so that the learners will not get lost and their learning achievements can be ensured. This paper thus proposes the method for discovering learning patterns of the learners on web based learning particularly for ensuring the learning achievement. The learning pattern is discovered by analyzing the interactions among the learners and the learning objects with social network analysis. Then, the achievement learning pattern is finally determined by analyzing the sets of obtained social network measurements. The interaction data is gathered from online course named introduction to Information Technology in the 2013 academic year, particularly for spreadsheet content module having 10 learning objects. The interaction patterns only of two groups of students including scientific and nonscientific background knowledge who pass the spreadsheet examination are analyzed. Finally, learning patterns ensuring learning achievement for spreadsheet content module of those students having different background knowledge is revealed.","PeriodicalId":231382,"journal":{"name":"Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA), 2014 Asia-Pacific","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129695065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phase of SSVEPs can be potentially applicable for generating device commands. However, the effective method of estimating the phase of SSVEPs has not yet been established, especially, in the case of using multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG). In this paper, we propose a novel method for estimating the phase of SSVEPs from multi-channel EEG, which uses complex sparse spatial weighting. We conducted experiments with the phase-coded SSVEPs based BCI for evaluating performance of our proposed method. As a result, our proposed method showed higher recognition accuracies than conventional methods in all six subjects.","PeriodicalId":231382,"journal":{"name":"Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA), 2014 Asia-Pacific","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124638003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the concept of virtual loudspeaker arrays is utilized to achieve range extrapolation of the measured HRTF datasets at a single range. The virtual loudspeaker is driven by Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA). Specially, to restrict the near-field effect of HOA, a compensation method of modified Wiener filter is proposed. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides effective range extrapolation of HRTF.","PeriodicalId":231382,"journal":{"name":"Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA), 2014 Asia-Pacific","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127604411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is implemented by combining denoising autoencoder-based cepstral-domain dereverberation, automatic asynchronous speech (microphone or mobile terminal) selection and environment adaptation. Although applications using mobile terminals have attracted increasing attention, there are few studies that focus on distant-talking speech recognition with asynchronous mobile terminals. For the system proposed in this paper, after applying a denoising autoencoder in the cepstral domain of speech to suppress reverberation and performing Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR), we adopted automatic asynchronous mobile terminal selection and environment adaptation using speech segments from optimal mobile terminals. The proposed method was evaluated using a reverberant WSJCAMO corpus, which was emitted by a loudspeaker and recorded in a meeting room with multiple speakers by far-field multiple mobile terminals. By integrating a cepstral-domain denoising autoencoder and automatic mobile terminal selection with environment adaptation, the average Word Error Rate (WER) was reduced from 51.8% of the baseline system to 28.8%, i.e., the relative error reduction rate was 44.4% when using multi-condition acoustic models.","PeriodicalId":231382,"journal":{"name":"Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA), 2014 Asia-Pacific","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128533131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key points are relative affine invariant to affine transformations so this algorithm does not need the guidance pegs in acquisition process to fix hand position to avoid the scaling, translation and rotation problems for correctly palmprint image alignment.

Khmer language has been identified as one of the most complex language with the total of 74 alphabets and the wording compound can has up to 5 vertical levels. This paper proposes one new method, SVM for Khmer character classification system by using 3 different SVM kernels (Gaussian, Polynomial and Linear Kernel) on data training and recognition to find out the best kernel for Khmer language. The method allows us to use small training dataset by training different pieces of character training instead of training big amount of clusters. The classification uses binary data of 0 as white space and 1 as black pixel area of the character; each training piece of character has been stretched into a matrix of the binary data in all kinds of image size. Feature extraction is extracted from the matrix to use in SVM classification. After recognition, there are some rules to combine each cluster or character by using character levels or common mistake correction. The experiment of about pure 750 Khmer words or around 3000 characters show that SVM method with Gaussian Kernel produces a good result with better performance among all kernels. The system uses one font \"Khmer OS Content\" of the training data with font size 32pt to recognize 3 different font sizes. The accuracy of 28pt font size is 98.17%, 32pt is 98.62% and 36pt is 98.54% respectively.","PeriodicalId":231382,"journal":{"name":"Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA), 2014 Asia-Pacific","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134026233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
