Discourse Markers in Speech: Distinctive Features and Corpus Annotation

2017

It is generally acknowledged that discourse markers are used differently in speech and writing, yet many general descriptions and most annotation frameworks are written-based, thus partially unfit to be applied in spoken corpora. This paper identifies the major distinctive features of discourse markers in spoken language, which can be associated with problems related to their scope and structure, their meaning and their tendency to co-occur. The description is based on authentic examples and is followed by methodological recommendations on how to deal with these phenomena in more exhaustive, speech-friendly annotation models.

ViSPE: A Graphical Policy Editor for XACML

2015

In this paper we present the Visual Security Policy Editor (ViSPE), a policy-maker-friendly graphical editor for the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML). The editor is based on the programming language Scratch and implemented in Smalltalk. It uses a graphical block-based syntax for declaring access control polices that simplifies many of the cumbersome and verbose parts of XACML. Using a graphical language allows the editor to aid the policy-maker in building polices by providing visual feedback and by grouping blocks and operators that fit together and also indicating which blocks that stick together. It simplifies building policies while still maintaining the basic structure…

Implementation aspects of interactive multiobjective optimization for modeling environments: The case of GAMS-NIMBUS

2014

Abstract. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have provided promising results in the literature but still their implementations are rare. Here we introduce a core structure of interactive methods to enable their convenient implementation. We also demonstrate how this core structure can be applied when implementing an interactive method using a modeling environment. Many modeling environments contain tools for single objective optimization but not for interactive multiobjective optimization. Furthermore, as a concrete example, we present GAMS-NIMBUS Tool which is an implementation of the classification-based NIMBUS method for the GAMS modeling environment. So far, interactive met…

HyperShell: An expert system shell in a hypermedia environment—application in medical audiology

1990

HyperShell is an expert system shell developed in a hypermedia environment. Several artificial intelligence techniques such as frames and semantic networks are used in an original interpretation to enhance the interaction between the user and the program. The typical navigation tools of hypermedia such as clickable buttons and text search are extended to the semantic structure of HyperShell, creating a set of new tools. Examples from a medical expert system (Audex HM) developed in HyperShell are described.

The Rally Course : Learners as co-designers of out-of-classroom language learning tasks

2019

This chapter introduces a “Rally Course” as a novel CA-inspired approach to teaching a second language. This approach builds on an understanding of language learning as a social process that is closely intertwined with L2 speakers’ evolving membership in the surrounding community. It addresses the need to develop experiential pedagogies that widen learners’ opportunities for interaction and support the socialisation process. Building on recent pedagogical initiatives supporting language learning in the wild, we illustrate the overall structure of the Rally Course, describe the main materials that were designed to support the learning objectives and present a case analysis of a student carry…

Preventing Overlaps in Agglomerative Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering

2020

Hierarchical Clustering is an unsupervised learning task, whi-ch seeks to build a set of clusters ordered by the inclusion relation. It is usually assumed that the result is a tree-like structure with no overlapping clusters, i.e., where clusters are either disjoint or nested. In Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering (HCC), each cluster is provided with a conceptual description which belongs to a predefined set called the pattern language. Depending on the application domain, the elements in the pattern language can be of different nature: logical formulas, graphs, tests on the attributes, etc. In this paper, we tackle the issue of overlapping concepts in the agglomerative approach of HCC. We …

Prøver, måling og og evaluering – pedagogiske utviklingsverktøy eller måleredskaper? Et kritisk perspektiv på vurderende og dokumenterende sakprosa i…

2018

Lederartikkelen gir en presentasjon av temanummeret  Evalueringens sakprosa. Seks studier av evaluerende tekster i barnehage og skole  og setter temaet i et kritisk perspektiv. Det slas fast at temanummerets artikler spenner fra det deskriptive til det kritisk-normative, fra det elevorienterte til det byrakratiorientere, og fra fokus pa tekst til fokus pa sosial praksis. The editorial article is a presentation of the theme issue  Evaluation saksprosa. Six studies of evaluative texts in kindergarten and school  and situates the topic in a critical perspective. The editors state that the theme number's articles range from the descriptive to the critical-normative, from the student-oriented to…
