Fluent Learning: Elucidating the Structure of Episodes
نویسنده
چکیده
Fluents are logical descriptions of situations that persist, and composite fluents are statistically significant temporal relationships (nearly identical with those in Allen’s temporal calculus) between fluents. This paper presents an algorithm for learning composite fluents incrementally. The algorithm is tested with a large dataset of mobile robot episodes. The algorithm is given no knowledge of the episodic structure of the dataset (i.e., it learns without supervision) yet discovers fluents that correspond well with episodes. More generally, the algorithm elucidates hidden structure in time series of binary vectors.

L1 Use and Language-Related Episodes (LREs) in an EFL Setting
Pair and small group work is infrequently welcomed in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes under the assumption that students tend to use their first language (L1), which is considered detrimental to learning the new language. From sociocultural perspective, however, students’ first language is claimed to play the role of an important psychological tool and can facilitate the learning pr...
متن کاملThe Role of Private Speech Produced by Intermediate EFL Learners in Lexical Language Related Episodes
Private speech utilization is accepted to have a critical role in the continuum of language acquisition. As a valuable device in studying learners’ talk during interaction, a language related episode (LRE) is any part of a dialogue where a student speaks about a language problem s/he comes across while completing a task. The present study investigated the role of private speech produced by Inte...
متن کاملResearching (Non) Fluent L2 Speakers’ Oral Communication Deficiencies: A Psycholinguistic Perspective
Fluency in a second language (L2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. The perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related L2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. This study, drawing on Levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...
