E-Learning Collaborative System for Practicing Foreign Languages with Native Speakers
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper describes a novel social network-based open educational resource for practicing foreign languages with native speakers, based on the predefined teaching materials. This virtual learning platform, called i2istudy, eliminates misunderstanding by providing prepared and predefined scenarios, enabling the participants to understand each other and, as a consequence, to communicate freely. The developed system allows communication through the real time video and audio feed. In addition to establishing the communication link, it tracks the student progress and allows rating the instructor, based on the learner’s experience. The system went live in April 2014, and had over six thousand active daily users, with over 40,000 total registered users. Monetization has been added to the system, and time will show how popular the system will become in the future.

Modulation Components and Genetic Algorithm for Speaker Recognition System
In this paper, the aim is to investigate weather or not that changing the filter-bank components (of the speaker recognition system) could improve the system performance in identifying the speaker. The filter is composed...
Ladder Networks: Learning under Massive Label Deficit
Advancement in deep unsupervised learning are finally bringing machine learning close to natural learning, which happens with as few as one labeled instance. Ladder Networks are the newest deep learning architecture that...
An Efficient Density based Improved K- Medoids Clustering algorithm
Clustering is the process of classifying objects into different groups by partitioning sets of data into a series of subsets called clusters. Clustering has taken its roots from algorithms like k-medoids and k-medoids. H...
