with the continuous development of the industrialization process, the countries all over the world gradually appeared lack of agricultural labor force and aging phenomenon, which was especially prominent in developed countries. however the agricultural robot with high operating efficiency, high qualities of work will play an increasingly important role in future agricultural production. robot n...

We assume that learners generate self-reference to a topic dealt with in class through motivational prompts of pedagogical agent (PA). This assumption is based on self-determination theory and organismic integration theory. Consequently, are more motivated achieve better learning results. examined the influence success motivation digital environment. Therefore, we implemented PA within web-base...

This paper will describe the results of analyses carried out on multilingual chat sessions that took place in the context of LITERALIA, a 24-months long project funded by the European Union’s Grundtvig initiative to support: “Learning In Tandem to Encourage Reciprocal Autonomous Learning In Adults LITERALIA”. An online workspace was created for the project that allowed learners to communicate w...

We present theoretical and empirical results for a framework that combines the benefits of apprenticeship and autonomous reinforcement learning. Our approach modifies an existing apprenticeship learning framework that relies on teacher demonstrations and does not necessarily explore the environment. The first change is replacing previously used Mistake Bound model learners with a recently propo...

This paper describes how mature NLP that has been successfully applied in the area of controlled language checking can be used to deliver intelligent CALL applications. It describes how an autonomous, longdistance 2nd language learning system for advanced learners can be created. The architecture of the system consists of a web-based multimodal user interface, skillspecific learning tools (read...

This chapter centers on the nuisance caused by passive voice and attributive clauses in student translations. With the use of learner corpus, calculation, categorization, and annotation functions enable analysis of common linguistic features in student translators. The aim of this study is to correct learners’ under-use, over-use, and misuse of terms and linguistic structures. By incorporating ...

Language learners at all levels need a way of recording and organising newly learned vocabulary for consolidation and for future reference. Listing words alphabetically in a vocabulary notebook has been a traditional way of organising this information. However, paper-based notes are limited in terms of space (learners often run out of space for certain categories; for others the space might be ...

This research was conducted to measure Persian EFL students’s degree of willingness to write in English. To reach the goal, semi-structured interviews were conducted, deriving inspiration from earlier works of McCrosky and Baer (1985), MacIntyre, Dornyei, Clement, and Noels (1998), and Yashima (2002) on willingness to communicate. The participants of the study were 29 individuals comprising 23 ...

This paper offers a view on a new concept and approaches of making e-learning more efficient by shifting from the (text)book paradigm to a new digital content structure and integrating learning process management elements into the content workflow thus improving the efficiency of the elearning process. This way the resulting content becomes “active” (simultaneously conveying knowledge and helpg...

Autonomous agents that learn about their environment can be divided into two broad classes. One class of existing learners, reinforcement learners, typically employ weak learning methods to directly modify an agent’s execution knowledge. These systems are robust in dynamic and complex environments but generally do not support planning or the pursuit of multiple goals. In contrast, symbolic theo...
