The performance of collective communication is critical to the overall system performance. In general, the performance of the collective communication is dependent not only on the underlying hardware, but also its implementation. To evaluate the performance of collective communication accurately, identifying the most representative metrics and using correct measurement techniques are two import...

Currently 19%-28% of Internet users participate in online health discussions. In this work, we study sentiments expressed on online medical forums. As well as considering the predominant sentiments expressed in individual posts, we analyze sequences of sentiments in online discussions. Individual posts are classified into one of the five categories encouragement, gratitude, confusion, facts, an...

In assessment centers (ACs), research on eliciting candidate behavior and evaluating candidate behavior have largely followed independent paths. This study integrates trait activation and trait rating models to posit hypotheses about the effects of behavior elicitation via situational cues on key assessor observation and rating variables. To test the hypotheses, a series of experimental and fie...

There are many different types of lenses, but largely they fall into the three classes of the title: set-based, delta-based and edit-based lenses. This paper develops some of the general relationships between those classes. The main results are that a category of set-based lenses is a full subcategory of a category of delta-based lenses determined by sending sets to codiscrete categories; that ...

We discuss and evaluate a new annotation scheme and discourse-analytic method, the QUD-tree framework. We present an annotation study, in which the framework, based on the concept of Questions under Discussion, is applied to English and German interview data, using TreeAnno, an annotation tool specially developed for this new kind of discourse annotation. The results of an inter-annotator agree...

This paper describes metaTED – a freely available corpus of metadiscursive acts in spoken language collected via crowdsourcing. Metadiscursive acts were annotated on a set of 180 randomly chosen TED talks in English, spanning over different speakers and topics. The taxonomy used for annotation is composed of 16 categories, adapted from Ädel (2010). This adaptation takes into account both the ma...
