The present study aimed to examine and compare the impact of teaching economic terms through etymological elaboration with three more conventional methods of vocabulary instruction in ESP courses in Iran, that is, teaching through contextual definitions, L1 translation, and implicit instruction on the learners' general comprehension of economic texts and their understanding of author's opinion....

A project’s elaboration profile consists of a set of ratios called elaboration factors that quantify the step-wise expansion of a project’s requirements from very high-level business objectives to very low-level source lines of code. Knowledge of a project’s elaboration profile can be extremely useful in deriving an early estimate of its size. The real challenge, however, is to predict the elab...

Intelligent problem solving systems must be able to express their results in a coherent and flexible manner. One way this can be done is by eztemporaneous elaboration, the method of language production that underlies more skilled tasks such as explanation. This paper outlines a computational model for extemporaneous elaboration that is implemented in a computer model called Extemper, shows exam...

Introduction A key component of any reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is the underlying representation used by the agent for learning (e.g. the parameterization of its function approximator). Transfer learning tasks typically look at speeding up a target task after learning in a source task. This paper considers a different, but related, question: is it possible, and desirable, for agents t...

The students have learning difficulties in science because their concept mastery and creativity were low. Digital storytelling is good media for who make own story. research was conducted to identify student’s by digital video food additives. method used this weak experiment. sample of 36 from private school Cianjur, West Java. students’ measured objective test based on bloom taxonomy. Objectiv...

Abstract This study aimed to develop and search for content validity evidences of an anxiety measure athletes. An international literature review on the construct was carried out construction 128 self-report items. The procedures judge semantic analysis were made after elaboration instrument. judges obtained 80.94% agreement kappa indicated significant substantial agreement. By observing each d...

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how elements of Generative Lexicon Theory (GL) can be used to help enrich both established and developing lexical and computational semantic resources within the CL community. This includes lexicons, ontologies, annotation schemes, and annotated corpora (WordNet, VerbNet, PropBank, FrameNet, AMR, GMB, SIMPLE, and others). The tutorial is organized into two parts...

This paper brings a contribution to the field of discourse annotation of corpora. Using ANNODIS, a french corpus annotated with discourse relations by naive and expert annotators, we focus on two of them, Elaboration and Entity-Elaboration. These two very frequent relations are (a) often confused by naive annotators (b) difficult to detect automatically as their signalling is poorly studied. We...
