Computer aids that writers need

System that Identifies Writers

Since the writer identification plays an important investigative and forensic role in many types of crime, various automatic techniques, feature extraction, comparison and performance evaluation methods have been studied (see [1] for the extensive survey). It has been practiced based on the hypothesis that people’s handwritings are as distinctly different from one another as their individual na...

Good Writers Need to be Good Listeners, Too

Using Computer - Generated Protocols to Study Writers ' Planning Strategies

Research has shown that extensive planning is typical of skilled adult writers (Bridwell-Bowles, Johnson, & Brehe, 1987; Flower & Hayes, 1981b). Yet word processors tend to discourage high level planning (Haas, 1989). In this research, we used the Writing Environment, a computer-based authoring tool that encourages planning, to study the strategies of adult writers. Nine graduate students and e...

Computer Aids in Translation

The presentation is based on the results of an international meeting for establishing the state of the art and for making recommendations for continued research and development in the field. The meeting was arranged by Kval on behalf of the AILA Commission for Computational Linguistics in conjunction with the Committee for Linguistics in Documentation within the International Federation for Doc...

The interplay of histone modifications – writers that read

Histones are subject to a vast array of posttranslational modifications including acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation. The writers of these modifications play important roles in normal development and their mutation or misregulation is linked with both genetic disorders and various cancers. Readers of these marks contain protein domains that allow their recruitment to ...
