ALLES: Controlled language tools’ and ‘information extraction tools’ for CALL Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how mature NLP that has been successfully applied in the area of controlled language checking can be used to deliver intelligent CALL applications. It describes how an autonomous, longdistance 2nd language learning system for advanced learners can be created. The architecture of the system consists of a web-based multimodal user interface, skillspecific learning tools (reading, listening, speaking and writing tool), and a set of NLP-based evaluation tools. All modules are integrated in a flexible software architecture ensuring a user-friendly environment based on advanced concepts in language didactics. The thrust of the project is to show the potential of NLP for automatic evaluation of students’ productions.

Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...

متن کاملMultiple Uses of Machine Translation and Computerised Translation Tools
For many years MT systems and tools were used principally for the production of good-quality translations: either MT in combination with controlled (restricted) input and/or with human post-editing; or computer-based translation tools by translators. Since 1990 the situation has changed. Corporate use of MT with human assistance has continued to expand (particularly in the area of localisation)...
