Much research has been done to combine the fields of Databases and Natural Language Processing. While many works focus on the problem of deriving a structured query for a given natural language question, the problem of query verbalization – translating a structured query into natural language – is less explored. In this work we describe our approach to verbalizing SPARQL queries in order to cre...

The contributions of separate sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways to pupillary dilation during a sustained processing task were studied through environmental and pharmacological manipulations. In Experiment 1, 22 healthy volunteers (11 female) performed a serial Subtract 7 task while pupil diameter was recorded both during moderate room light and in darkness. In a control for verbalization...

The objective of this study was to evaluate differences in driving performance, visual detection performance, and eye-scanning behavior between glaucoma patients and control participants without glaucoma. Glaucoma patients (n = 23) and control participants (n = 12) completed four 5-min driving sessions in a simulator. The participants were instructed to maintain the car in the right lane of a t...

BACKGROUND Anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and may increase morbidity and mortality in vulnerable critical care patients. Despite the adverse effects of anxiety, little is known about critical care nurses 'practices for assessing anxiety. OBJECTIVE To determine the importance that critical care nurses place on evaluating anxiety and to ...

OBJECTIVE We investigate whether thinking aloud influences perceived time. BACKGROUND Thinking aloud is widely used in usability evaluation, yet it is debated whether thinking aloud influences thought and behavior. If thinking aloud is restricted to the verbalization of information to which a person is already attending, there is evidence that thinking aloud does not influence thought and beh...

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is useful for designing object-oriented code, but is less suitable for conceptual data analysis. Its process-centric usecases provide an inadequate basis for specifying data-centric class diagrams, and the UML graphical language suffers from incompleteness, inconsistency and unnecessary complexity. For example, multiplicity constraints can lead to unexpected ...

This study explored the effects of similarity verbalized information between target and distractor voices on speaker identification. Participants listened to voice, either described it using one three catego ries (“adjective-selection,” “adjective-rating,” or “free-description”) did not describe (Control). They then rat ed “the degree which voice sounded like person” for types stimuli: a high-s...
