Natural Vs. Precise Concise Languages for Human Operation of Computers: Research Issues and Experimental Approaches

نویسنده

  • Ben Shneiderman
چکیده

This paper raises concerns that natural language front ends for computer systems can limit a researcher's scope of thinking, yield inappropriately complex systems, and exaggerate public fear of computers. Alternative modes of computer use are suggested and the role of psychologically oriented controlled experimentation is emphasized. Research methods and recent experimental results are briefly reviewed.

Semantic network approaches view organization or representation of internal lexicon in the form of either spreading or hierarchical system identified, respectively, as Spreading Activation Model (SAM) and Hi- erarchical Network Model (HNM). However, the validity of either model is amongst the intact issues in the literature which can be studied through basing the instruction compatible wi...

Lexical Semantics In Human-Computer Communication

Most linguistic studies of human-computer communication have focused on the issues of syntax and discourse structure. However, another interesting and important area is the lexical semantics of command languages. The names that users and system designers give the objects and actions of a computer system can greatly affect its usability, and the lexical issues involved are as complicated as thos...

Yet Another Formalism for Morphological Paradigm

Morphology is one of the few areas in the natural language processing where computers are good enough. Different approaches lead to different problems. For Slavonic languages rules and statistical methods are commonly used. Rule based methods are more precise but tend to fail when parsing unknown words. Hybrid technologies with statistical methods helps to solve this problem. It is also possibl...

Comparison of Two Flow Cytometric Methods for Detection of Human Invariant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT)

Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods f...

Research Statement Dissertation Research Visualizing Natural Language Processing

Textual data is at the forefront of information management problems today. Thousands of pages of text data, in many languages, are produced daily: emails, news reports, blog posts, product reviews, discussion forums, academic articles, and business reports. Computational linguistics interventions have also increased, as we rely more and more on automated language translation, summarization, enh...
