Search and Comprehension Processes in Learning from Text
2008
We analyzed the relationships between comprehension skill and search strategies in instructional text. In two experiments, college-level readers were asked to search a computer-presented science text in order to answer different types of questions. High level questions required the integration of information across paragraphs, whereas low level questions requested the localization of information within a single paragraph. High level questions were re-read more often and they resulted in broader text search patterns. Furthermore, students who were diagnosed as good comprehenders located relevant sections of the text faster and spent more time on those sections. Poor comprehenders, on the oth…
Detecting Bridge Anaphora
2017
The paper presents one of most important issues in natural language processing (NLP), namely the automated recognition of semantic relations (in this case, bridge anaphora). In this sense, we propose to recognize automatically, as accurately as possible, this type of relations in a literary corpus (the novel Quo Vadis), knowing that the diversity and complexity of relations between entities is impressive. Furthermore, we defined and classified the bridge anaphora type relations based on annotation conventions. In order to achieve the main goal, we developed a computational instrument, BAT (Bridge Anaphora Tool), currently still in a test (and implicitly an improvable) version. This study is…
Exploring Lightweight Deep Learning Solution for Malware Detection in IoT Constraint Environment
2022
The present era is facing the industrial revolution. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication paradigm is becoming prevalent. Resultantly, the computational capabilities are being embedded in everyday objects called things. When connected to the internet, these things create an Internet of Things (IoT). However, the things are resource-constrained devices that have limited computational power. The connectivity of the things with the internet raises the challenges of the security. The user sensitive information processed by the things is also susceptible to the trusability issues. Therefore, the proliferation of cybersecurity risks and malware threat increases the need for enhanced security in…
Enriqueciendo la investigación en humanidades digitales. Análisis de textos de claustros académicos de la Universidad de Valencia (1775-1779) con KH …
2020
[ES] La aplicación de métodos automatizados en cualquier investigación ha facilitado el trasvase de metodologías de una disciplina a otra, permitiendo realizar análisis cuantitativos a textos con estructura o semiestructurados. El objeto de este trabajo es aplicar a un dataset en lenguaje natural -castellano del siglo XVIII- métodos de análisis de la disciplina de documentación. Pretende establecer una metodología automática de análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de textos, que permita enriquecer en el futuro las conclusiones procedentes del análisis histórico tradicional. Este estudio construye los procedimientos necesarios para poder aplicar análisis de frecuencia, extracción y clasificac…
Manulex-infra: Distributional characteristics of grapheme—phoneme mappings, and infralexical and lexical units in child-directed written material
2007
It is well known that the statistical characteristics of a language, such as word frequency or the consistency of the relationships between orthography and phonology, influence literacy acquisition. Accordingly, linguistic databases play a central role by compiling quantitative and objective estimates about the principal variables that affect reading and writing acquisition. We describe a new set of Web-accessible databases of French orthography whose main characteristic is that they are based on frequency analyses of words occurring in reading books used in the elementary school grades. Quantitative estimates were made for several infralexical variables (syllable, grapheme-to-phoneme mappi…
Lists of Spanish sentences with equivalent predictability, phonetic content, length, and frequency of the last word.
2010
This paper presents a pool of Spanish sentences designed for use in cognitive research and speech processing in circumstances in which the effects of context are relevant. These lists of sentences are divided into six lists of 25 equivalent high-predictability sentences and six lists of 25 low-predictability sentences according to the extent to which the last word can be predicted by the preceding context. These lists were also equivalent in phonetic content, length and frequency of the last word. These lists are intended for use in psycholinguistic research with Spanish-speaking listeners.
A Linguistic Model in Component Oriented Programming
2016
Abstract It is a fact that the component-oriented programming, well organized, can bring a large increase in efficiency in the development of large software systems. This paper proposes a model for building software systems by assembling components that can operate independently of each other. The model is based on a computing environment that runs parallel and distributed applications. This paper introduces concepts as: abstract aggregation scheme and aggregation application. Basically, an aggregation application is an application that is obtained by combining corresponding components. In our model an aggregation application is a word in a language.
Towards Diagrammatic Patterns
2008
This article presents the idea that the graphical representation (concrete syntax) of a visual language can be specified based on some pre-defined diagrammatic patterns. A diagram from the Specification and Description Language (SDL) is used as illustration.
LCL - A Graphical Meta-Language for Specification of Language Constraints
2015
The Object Constraint Language (OCL) is commonly used for constraints in meta-model-based language specifications. However, it may be advantageous to have a domain-specific constraint meta-language optimised for language specifications. A survey of OCL usage in language specifications has been performed, in order to gain an understanding of common constraint patterns. This is used as a starting point for defining a new meta-language for language constraints, Language Constraint Language (LCL), that has an intuitive graphical syntax.
Overview of the Second BUCC Shared Task: Spotting Parallel Sentences in Comparable Corpora
2017
This paper presents the BUCC 2017 shared task on parallel sentence extraction from comparable corpora. It recalls the design of the datasets, presents their final construction and statistics and the methods used to evaluate system results. 13 runs were submitted to the shared task by 4 teams, covering three of the four proposed language pairs: French-English (7 runs), German-English (3 runs), and Chinese-English (3 runs). The best F-scores as measured against the gold standard were 0.84 (German-English), 0.80 (French-English), and 0.43 (Chinese-English). Because of the design of the dataset, in which not all gold parallel sentence pairs are known, these are only minimum values. We examined …
