In this research, a virtual world of an Austrian town centre was created to teach German language commands to high school students. Urban planning and space syntax theory offers interesting insights into the strategies game players employ when looking for the correct path through an urban space. Specifically, the path of game players lost in a virtual urban space can be predicted. The research findings...
In this paper, we report on the generation of Uyghur noun suffix DFA generation for a stemming algorithm. Because of the agglutinative nature of Uyghur language, stemming is an essential task for Uyghur language processing applications. In Uyghur, the suffixes are affixed to the stem according to definite ordering rules. The agglutinative and rule-based nature of word formations in Uyghur allows modeling...
The paper introduces a platform based on Internet, which is flexibility to teach languages such as English and Chinese, which not only enlarged teaching resource utilization, but only improved the quality of teaching. The platform presents the accumulation of knowledge resources, the formation of a unique case, the answer to the question of experience and knowledge in a flexible and effective way...
The automatic recognition of unknown words is an important problem in Chinese information processing. Based on the characteristics of words, this paper proposes a method to recognize new words using high frequent strings. Firstly, the high frequent strings from each single document are extracted as candidate strings. Then the strings that cannot satisfy the characteristics of wordpsilas distribution...
Traditional English text chunking approach is to identify phrases using only one model and same features. It is shown that one model could not consider each phrasepsilas characteristics, and same features are not suitable to all phrases. In this paper, a multi-agent text chunking model is proposed. This model uses individual sensitive features of each phrase to identify different phrases. Through...
This paper briefly reports on a collection of Korean word associations (KorWA). Then by constructing a Korean semantic network based on the data, it identifies some structural features and discusses about a potential support for semantic study and language learning.
In recent years, there are a large number of foreign students coming to learn Chinese language. However due to the characters of Chinese language, it is usually difficult for them to learn. In order to provide a suitable mobile environment to learn Chinese language for foreign students, this paper presents an approach to context-aware mobile chinese language learning (CAMCLL) for foreign students...
Chinese tea literature has not made its appearance in the existing corpora. Bilingual corpus of ancient Chinese and English (AC-E) also wait to be extended for purposes such as CAT and designing educational software for Confucius Institutes all over the world. This paper aims at such a corpus by demonstrating multilayer anchor-points in improving the alignment accuracy in a bilingual parallel corpus...
The goal of this paper is to present CROVALLEX - the first Croatian verb valence lexicon. It contains 1739 verbs with 5118 valence frames. It also contains 173 syntactic-semantic classes (72 classes with two further levels of subdivision). Functional generative description (FGD) is used as the background theory for the description of valence frames. Syntactic-semantic classes have been derived from...
This paper aims to investigate the overall characteristics of the rural high school studentspsila learning strategy selection and use. The results indicate that the general frequency of the subjectspsila learning strategies selection and use is not satisfying. Among the six learning strategies, the most used strategies are affective strategies, and the least used strategies by the subjects are social...
In response to the demand for educational reform, this paper aims at cultivating college studentspsila intercultural communication competence on the basis of intercultural communication theory and empirical research method. Scenario training method, assisted with specific cases, was constructed, and hypothesis test tool was applied to analyzing its effect as well. The conclusion shows that this scenario...
The e-commerce information on the surface Web is supported by the Deep Web, which can not be accessed directly by the search engines or the Web crawlers. The only way to access the backend database is through query interface. Extracting valid attributes from the query forms and automatic translating the source query into a target query is a solvable way for addressing the current limitations in accessing...
Multilingual expression services (MESs) are available in many multicultural fields, such as education, medical care, and disaster prevention. In Japan, for example, local governments and NPOs create parallel-texts and provide expression services in such fields. However, these services present a common difficulty: the lack of parallel-texts. Service-computing technology has the potential to allow them...

Sentence similarity computing plays an important role in the question answering (QA) system. Because there are many question expressions for one meaning, we present a new approach to match question based on fuzzy set. In this paper, we establish a library of standard questions. Each standard question is relative with a series of Keywords. The main focus of this paper lies with matching of standard...
dasiaZHEpsila imperfective has long time been a burning problem with linguistic research. However, up till now, few studies on the semantic meanings of dasiatemporal adverbials+ZHE imperfectivepsila sentences and their formalizations have been done. This paper addresses the formalization of dasiaZHEpsila imperfective and its combinations with temporal adverbial by an automatic parsing using CTT(Copenhagen...
In this paper, we present and analyze the results of the application of Arabic query-based text summarization system - AQBTSS - in an attempt to produce a query-oriented summary for a single Arabic document. For this task, we adapted the traditional vector space model (VSM) and the cosine similarity measure to find the most relevant passages extracted form Arabic document to produce a text summary...
In this paper, we propose a practical question answering system for the "Analects of Confucius" based on the pragmatics information. The "Analects of Confucius" is a classic Chinese literature by the Confucian during the Warring States Period (476 B.C-221 B.C ). But the literature can not be categorized by topics and it has comprehensive meanings, not only the literal meanings...
Chinese Pinyin-to-character conversion is a key technology in Chinese Pinyin input system. In sentence based Pinyin-to-character conversion, segmentation of Pinyin string has important influence on performance of Pinyin-to-character conversion. There are lots of ambiguities in segmentation of Pinyin string. This paper classifies them into overlap and combinational ambiguities, and proposes disambiguation...
Automatic essay scoring system is a very important research tool for many educational studies. Many researches indicate that AES systems should be able to analyze semantic characteristics of an essay and include more such features to score essays. This paper makes an assumption: some concepts that can be regarded as literary concepts would only be utilized by skillful writers. However, it is a difficult...
