A Comparison of Hedged and Non-hedged NLG Texts

چکیده
We assess the use of hedge phrases in “affective” NLG texts. A simple experiment suggests non-native speakers prefer texts that contain hedge phrases, but native speakers prefer texts that do not contain hedge phrases.

The Effect of Hedged-form Feedback vs. Uncoded Feedback on Grammatical Accuracy of Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners
Abstract The extent to which teachers’ written corrective feedback (WCF) is conducive to ESL learners’ improvement has been discussed since Truscott’s claim in 1996. The mentioned debate continues because there has been lots of contrastive research studies with different results. This paper presents the results of a 2-month study of the effectiveness of WCF to 65 low intermediate Iranian learne...

متن کاملA Symbolic Characterisation of Open Bisimulation for the Spi Calculus
Open hedged bisimulation was proposed as a generalisation to the spi calculus of the pi calculus’open bisimulation. In this paper, we extend previous work on open hedged bisimulation. We show that open hedged bisimilarity is closed under respectful substitutions and give a symbolic characterisation of open hedged bisimulation. The latter result is an important step towards mechanisation of open...
متن کاملOn multiobjective combinatorial optimization and dynamic interim hedging of efficient portfolios
This research introduces a new mixed-integer nonlinear goal program (MINLGP) with branch and bound constraints and a separable programming foundation. The motivation for creating the MINLGP algorithm is to advance the ability of portfolio managers facing multiple and hierarchical goals to simultaneously solve for an efficient portfolio with an optimal number of contingent claim contracts in ord...
متن کاملDelta-Hedged Gains and the Negative Market Volatility Risk Premium
We investigate whether the volatility risk premium is negative by examining the statistical properties of delta-hedged option portfolios (buy the option and hedge with stock). Within a stochastic volatility framework, we demonstrate a correspondence between the sign and magnitude of the volatility risk premium and the mean delta-hedged portfolio returns. Using a sample of S&P 500 index options,...
