Recent research provides evidence that effective communication in collaborative software development has significant impact on the software development lifecycle. Although related qualitative and quantitative studies point out textual characteristics of well-formed messages, the underlying semantics of the intertwined linguistic structures still remain largely misinterpreted or ignored. Especia...

This paper discusses user study outcomes with teachers who used Language Muse SM a webbased teacher professional development (TPD) application designed to enhance teachers’ linguistic awareness, and support teachers in the development of language-based instructional scaffolding (support) for their English language learners (ELL). System development was grounded in literature that supports the n...

Meta-analyses are regularly used to quantitatively integrate the findings of a field, assess the consistency of an effect and make decisions based on extant research. The current article presents an overview and step-by-step tutorial of meta-analysis aimed at psychophysiological researchers. We also describe best-practices and steps that researchers can take to facilitate future meta-analysis i...

Content-based image retrieval is one of the main research directions in information retrieval and digital library. However, the low-level image features used in traditional content-based image systems lack of semantics meanings of users. In this paper, we propose a multi-layer image data model to combine the low-level image features and high-level linguistic meanings. We analyze and represent a...

The purpose of this presentation is to start a discussion about methodological and operational requirements for developing tools for internet browsing and/or querying of metadescriptions of language resources, in particular multimodal corpora. Among the most important requirements are: delimiting the relationship both between meta-descriptions and the resources they apply to, and between browsi...

The subject of this discussion consists selected concepts regarding the codematic foundations foreign-language learning and cybernetic systems communication. author focuses on processes controlling, regulating, directing structures at inter-individual level from teacher to learner. control process, coupled with process basic information transfer, supports strengthens it, both linguistic (supras...

Studies aimed at understanding what makes human tutoring effective have noted that the type of indirect guidance that characterizes human tutorial dialogue is a key factor. In this paper, we describe an approach that brings together sociolingusitic research on the basis of linguistic choice with natural language generation technology to systematically produce tutorial feedback appropriate to th...

Adaptive filtering of information involves modelling the user's behavior and learning from feedback. This paper describes the design of a cognitive information filtering system that applies (1) linguistic analysis to obtain consistent representations of the contents of messages, (2) an evolutionary algorithm for prioritizing morphologically parsed e-mails and (3) a monitor to simulate cognitive...
