{jonal, chambers}@cs.washington.edu Abstract Software architecture is a crucial part of the specification of component-based systems. Reasoning about software architecture can aid design, program understanding, and formal analysis. However, existing approaches decouple implementation code from architecture, allowing inconsistencies, causing confusion, violating architectural properties, and inh...

in this study two modes ofreading (car and traditional print mode) were compared in regards to their effectiveness for l2 reading comprehension. a group of 120 english major students were divided into three classes: car, traditional, and control. based on the english proficiency scores each class was divided into two groups (high and low levels of proficiency). three classes were taught by the ...

We study automatic question generation for sentences from text passages in reading comprehension. We introduce an attention-based sequence learning model for the task and investigate the effect of encoding sentencevs. paragraph-level information. In contrast to all previous work, our model does not rely on hand-crafted rules or a sophisticated NLP pipeline; it is instead trainable end-to-end vi...

Most AI simulations have modeled memory retrieval separately from comprehension, even though both activities seem to use many of the same processes. We have developed REMIND, a model that performs both episodic memory retrieval and language understanding with a single spreading-activation mechanism. This approach has a number of advantages over retrieval-only models. First, because the comprehe...

This work aims to present and evaluate a Fuzzy-Case Based Reasoning Diagnosis system of Historical Text Comprehension (F-CBR-DHTC). The synergism of fuzzy logic and case based reasoning techniques handles the uncertainty in the acquisition of human expert’s knowledge regarding learner’s observable behavior and integrates the right balance between expert’s knowledge described in the form of fuzz...

There are numerous guides on Web design but for the most part, these are based on designers' intuition and common sense Ð with little theoretical or experimental validation. A major problem is that there is a general lack of cognitive guidelines for Web design. Of the few available theoretical guidelines for designing hypermedia documents, very little experimental research is available that tes...

Language production processes can provide insight into how language comprehension works and language typology-why languages tend to have certain characteristics more often than others. Drawing on work in memory retrieval, motor planning, and serial order in action planning, the Production-Distribution-Comprehension (PDC) account links work in the fields of language production, typology, and com...
