COLING - The 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics Workshop eLearning for Computational Linguistics and Computational Linguistics for eLearning

The paper deals with the application of NLP technology in e-learning. We report our research on intelligent platforms for computermediated education. Some of the methods described in the paper have already taken part in the end-user applications that are in everyday use, others still wait for their implementation in the form of software products. The main message of the paper is that the langua...

Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature

I believe that human story competence—understanding, telling, authoring—lies at the center of human intelligence. To better understand that competence, my students and I are building the Genesis storyunderstanding system, a system that reads 100-sentence stories adapted from sources such as Hansel and Gretel, Crow creation myths, and Shakespeare’s plays. I explain how our work has been guided b...

Fifth Annual Conference on New and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases

ference featured 8 speakers and 35 poster presentations.) opened the conference with a presentation on the search for the origins of HIV. The evidence indicates that two simian immu-nodeficiency viruses (SIV), one from chimpanzees (SIVcpz) and the other from sooty mangabeys (SIVsm), crossed the species barrier to humans, generating HIV-1 and HIV-2, respectively. Dr. Hahn stressed the importance...

Coling 2010 23 rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics

Honorifics in Japanese plays an incredibly important role in all walks of social life. The demand to transform regular expressions in Japanese into honorifics automatically has increased rapidly especially in business situations. This paper reviews existing studies and proposes a system to fill this demand with more practicable functions. The experiment shows the effectiveness of our strategy.
