The NPA theory of personality was developed by A.M. Benis on the basis of concepts presented over fifty years ago by psychiatrist Karen Horney. The model posits three major behavioral traits underlying personality: narcissism (N), perfectionism (P) and aggression (A), leading to the formulation of discrete character types. Each trait is based on a major pleiotropic gene (a gene determining seve...

This paper presents our approach towards the SemEval-2016 Task 10 – Detecting Minimal Semantic Units and their Meanings. Systems are expected to provide a representation of lexical semantics by (1) segmenting tokens into words and multiword units and (2) providing a supersense tag for segments that function as nouns or verbs. Our pipeline rule-based system uses no external resources and was imp...

Based on a three-semester design-based research study examining learning and teaching in a web-conferencing environment, this article identifies types of synchronous collaboration competencies and reveals their influence on learning processes. Four levels of online collaborative competencies were observed – operational, interactional, managerial, and design. The relative importance of students ...

This paper describes the LIGM-Alpage system for the SPMRL 2013 Shared Task. We only participated to the French part of the dependency parsing track, focusing on the realistic setting where the system is informed neither with gold tagging and morphology nor (more importantly) with gold grouping of tokens into multi-word expressions (MWEs). While the realistic scenario of predicting both MWEs and...

In this paper we investigate the automatic acquisition of Arabic Multiword Expressions (MWE). We propose three complementary approaches to extract MWEs from available data resources. The first approach relies on the correspondence asymmetries between Arabic Wikipedia titles and titles in 21 different languages. The second approach collects English MWEs from Princeton WordNet 3.0, translates the...

Making use of latent semantic analysis, we explore the hypothesis that local linguistic context can serve to identify multi-word expressions that have noncompositional meanings. We propose that vector-similarity between distribution vectors associated with an MWE as a whole and those associated with its constitutent parts can serve as a good measure of the degree to which the MWE is composition...

This paper presents a framework for analyzing and summarizing collaborative activities in a highly dynamic, context-rich social network. In everyday work, collaboration is essential, and people need to be aware of the activities of their peers to find opportunities for collaboration. Understanding activities of one’s peers become particularly difficult when people collaborate across time, locat...

The observation that references to a particular page are clustered (in time) in typical database reference strings is used as the intuitive motivation for a model of page reference activity in an interactive database system. The model leads to a two-parameter form for the (Denning) working-set functions associated with a page. Methods for estimating parameter values from measurements or from lo...

In this work we study the sets of two-party correlations generated from a Bell scenario involving two spatially separated systems with respect to various physical models. We show that the sets of classical, quantum, no-signaling and unrestricted correlations can be expressed as projections of affine sections of appropriate convex cones. As a by-product, we identify a spectrahedral outer approxi...
