A set of Context Sensitive Grammar (CSG) rules to translate Bangla imperative, optative and exclamatory sentences into English are introduced in this paper. In this paper, sentences are considered according to the function and purpose of the user rather than structure of the sentence. Three algorithms are implemented to complete major three steps of machine translation system (i.e., parsing, transfer...
Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is the task of automatically choosing the correct meaning of a word in a context. Due to the importance of this task, it is considered as one of the most important and challenging problems in the field of computational linguistics and plays a crucial role in various natural language processing (NLP) applications. In this paper, we present an improved version of a recent...
Several learning technologies have been developed over the years in order to help distance learning process. However, those technologies are still not enough to give the proper interaction between their users and the technologies themselves. It is caused by the absence of the technologies ability to give context based on their users conditions. When human interacts with each other, they understand...
Users context is exploited by an increased number of applications, especially mobile ones, in order to provide their clients with context-oriented services. With our work we try to extend the usage context to laptop and desktop applications and environments. This paper aims analyzing user behavior on three different habitats: at work, at school and at home. The main purpose of this paper is to find...
Integrating technology in pedagogy is a step for ICT capacity building for higher education to meet its current demands. Therefore, the integration of eLearning systems has been problematic, albeit huge investments in ICT infrastructure. This study investigates teacher adoption of a new upgraded eLearning platform being integrated at University of Rwanda. A six-constructs model related to technology...
Large-scale multi-agent systems (LSMAS) development methods are becoming a necessity in a world of ever growing numbers of computer agents incorporated in various devices and services used by people in all areas of life. Organization in such large-scale systems, becomes therefore a very relevant concept in research on LSMAS, as the mentioned agents are expected to cooperate, compete, and share information,...
Assessments constitute a crucial part of an academic learning process due to its importance in evaluating students' knowledge and forming a basis for their grade. The rapid evolution of technology has influenced the way assessments are now being conducted in academic institutions. Tertiary institutions are adopting Computer-Based Assessments (CBAs), in tandem with traditional Paper-Based Assessments...
Ports can be considered as a mixed network composed of different stakeholders such as private service provider companies, public organizations, professional and social associations. Each of them has its own aims and the port community exercises the role of coordinator, taking on responsibility for governance. In general, the interaction among the different actors generates strategic synergy, contributing...
Hyper-heuristics are methods for problem solving that decouple the search mechanisms from the domain features, providing a reusable approach across different problems. Even when they make a difference regarding metaheuristics under this perspective, proposals in literature commonly expose parameters for controlling their behavior such as metaheuristics does. Several internal mechanisms for automatically...
The adoption of cloud computing is increasing and its use is becoming widespread in many sectors. As the proportion of services provided using cloud computing increases, legal and regulatory issues are becoming more significant. In this paper we explore how an Information Flow Audit (IFA) mechanism, that provides key data regarding provenance, can be used to verify compliance with regulatory and contractual...
A Body of Knowledge (BOK) is a term used to represent the complete set of concepts, terms, and activities that make up a professional domain. It encompasses the core teaching skills and research in a field or industry [13]. One of the main concerns of the software industry is to develop the talent of its human resources since the quality and innovation of its products and services depend of a great...
System integrators for commercial aircraft reason about the subsystems they must integrate using Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Although ICD format standards exist in this specific domain, avionics suppliers express their ICDs in different ways, making the integrator's work challenging. As software engineering researchers, we are trying to define a common vocabulary for ICDs in the context of...
Information Present in Different language and Structure gives Rise to language as barrier in information retrieval. Informative Document on queen Elizabeth is been writing by foreign language English which makes its difficult for a Marathi reader to understand and seek History of England, on Similar lines Literature Work on Shivaji is mostly documented in Marathi which makes foreign Historians difficult...
The rapid growth of digital data storage of medical or health, social media, education and many more in the world has amplified the demand for big data storage, which requires trillion of files having exabytes of data. This growth in data has put up the key question of how we can effectively manage and find the data in the emergent ocean of information. The upcoming demand for data storage in petabytes...
Teaching programming is much more like teaching a craft skill than it is a purely theoretical subject. Hence an "apprenticeship" model, where apprentices learn by watching the master do, and then do themselves, and are criticised in their doing, is, we claim, more appropriate than the "lecturer/ lecturee" model that universities implicitly adopt. Furthermore, there are generally...
Previous HRI research has established that trust, disclosure, and a sense of companionship lead to positive outcomes. In this study, we extend existing work by exploring behavioral approaches to increasing these three aspects of HRI. We increased the expressivity and vulnerability of a robot and measured the effects on trust, disclosure, and companionship during human-robot interaction. We engaged...
The dependency on cloud computing is expanding exponentially due to its operational and cost-effective benefits, allowing organizations to adopt solutions within very short periods without wasting enormous efforts and resources on implementation, instead focusing on more strategic objectives. Therefore, the process of understanding the effect of critical success factors (CSFs) which influences the...
In this video submission, we describe a scenario developed in the EMOTE project. The overall goal of the EMOTE project is to develop an empathic robot tutor for 11–13 year old school students in an educational setting. The pedagogical domain here is to assist students in learning and testing their map-reading skills typically learned as part of the geography curriculum in schools. We show this scenario...
The aim of machine learning is to solve a given problem using past experience or example data. Many machine learning applications are using now-a-days already. More aspiring problems can be handled as more data become accessible. Here. in this context we learn in detail about text mining as a multi-dimensional field which involves the closely linked areas or sections like 1. Retrieving information,...
In this paper we present a framework for the generation of content for massively multiplayer online games (MMO). We study several MMO games in order to understand common properties and present an open framework that aims to ease the development of content for this type of games by reducing developer effort and storage requirements. A consequence is the reduction of game development cost and the increase...
