Product reviews contain a lot of useful information about product features and customer opinions. One important product feature is the complementary entity (products) that may potentially work together with the reviewed product. Knowing complementary entities of the reviewed product is very important because customers want to buy compatible products and avoid incompatible ones. In this paper, we address...
This paper presents a novel version of ExATO, a term extractor originally designed to extract relevant terms from corpora in Portuguese. In this new version not only corpora in Portuguese can be handled, but also texts in English are accepted. This extension is likely to offer the same quality pattern already achieved for Portuguese. In this paper, we draw the analysis of results in parallel corpora...
Language — spoken and written — is the medium for information and knowledge sharing; and it is almost always even a role of every subject in (higher) education. The language therefore plays an important part in teaching and learning. This is further underlined by the fact that "discipline-specific language" — which is "the uses of language in university discipline learning and teaching...
In designing BYOB and Snap/, we wanted to extend the Scratch idea of visual metaphors for control structures to include anonymous procedures and higher order functions. We describe the iterations in the design leading to the current "grey ring" notation.
One of the biggest challenges in the design of Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) is the construction of their rule base. While fuzzy sets capture aspects of a system's variables and associates them with linguistic labels, it is the rules which capture the logical relationships of these labels and underlying fuzzy sets. Further, while fuzzy systems are credited for dealing well with uncertainty in system...
In machine translation the co reference resolution has important significance. Without correct co-reference any translation has wrong interpretation. In this paper we investigated the type of antecedent for Hindi. We discussed the five values of this feature of antecedent. We analyzed 165 news items of Ranchi Express from EMILEE corpus of plain text. It consist 2382 sentences. Eight file of dialogue...
Automatic Chinese Term Extraction is an important issue in Natural Language Processing. This paper has proposed an improved method based on C/NC-value to extract Chinese term. We delete the linguistic part in C/NC-value method, and add two improved statistical parameters: mutual information and log-likelihood ratio, to calculate the statistical features of the candidate string. The results of the...
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of corpora in foreign language education. The results of past studies suggest that it is effective for learners with high language proficiency. This study attempts to incorporate the use of corpora for teaching engineering students with limited language proficiency. Student feedback suggests that even with their limited English proficiency,...
This paper reports the results of a survey regarding motivation for learning English as a foreign language. The subjects are 64 Japanese university students majoring in computer science and engineering. Research on motivation for learning second/foreign languages, first initiated in the 1970s, has been attracting attention especially since the 1990s. The results indicate that these students, whose...
The on-going project aiming at the creation of the National Corpus of Polish assumes several levels of linguistic annotation. We present the technical environment and methodological background developed for the three upper annotation levels: the level of syntactic words and groups, and the level of named entities. We show how knowledge-based platforms Spejd and Sprout are used for the automatic pre-annotation...
Planning a complex software modification task imposes a high cognitive burden on developers, who must juggle navigating the software, understanding what they see with respect to their task, and deciding how their task should be performed given what they have discovered. Pragmatic reuse tasks, where source code is reused in a white-box fashion, is an example of a complex and error-prone modification...
