Constructing catalogue of temporal situations

Constructing Situations and Time

Situations serving as partial worlds as well as events in natural language semantics are constructed from a type-theoretic interpretation of firstorder formulae and (after a type reduction) temporal formulae. Limitations of the Russell-Wiener-Kamp derivation of time from events are discussed and overcome to give a more widely applicable account of temporal granularity. Finite situations are for...

Temporal Matching: Recognizing Dynamic Situations from Discrete Measurements

The converse problem of measurement interpretation is event recognition. In situations which are characterized by a specific order of events, a single snapshot is not sufficient to recognize an event. Instead one has to plan a measurement sequence that consists of observations at more than one time point. In this paper we present an algorithm for planning such an observation sequence based on t...

Constructing collaborative pedagogical situations in classrooms: a scenario and role based approach

Most CSCL works put forward the fact that learners working together would only need a means of communication. We feel this is not always sufficient. We have focussed on the collaborative activity itself and the way of enhancing collaboration. We have proposed a general framework which gives the teacher the possibility of defining and constructing pedagogical collaborative situations. It is base...

A Framework for Constructing Temporal Models from Texts

We describe here the algorithm and criteria we have used for the identification of events in a text, and for finding the temporal relations between them. Some of our ad hoc heuristics provide very good results, with precision and recall values around 90%, that are able to provide us a fairly good ordering of events from different kinds of texts. There are still some difficult cases not covered ...
