An Intelligent Automated Robotic Assembly System consists of several subsystems capable of providing dynamic interactions with the environment in order to accomplish a task properly. These subsystems perform various functions like data gathering, decision making, and task execution. Although a great deal of work has been done on individual subsystems, more attention must be given to the way how...

In this paper, we present the JUCSE system, designed for the TempEval-3 shared task. The system extracts events and temporal information from natural text in English. We have participated in all the tasks of TempEval-3, namely Task A, Task B & Task C. We have primarily utilized the Conditional Random Field (CRF) based machine learning technique, for all the above tasks. Our system seems to perf...

There is an extensive literature on task modelling related to the design of computer systems. Task analysis and task modelling have been widely recognized as central components in human-centred approaches. The aim of this paper is to report on some results of a worldwide survey about actual practices of task descriptions languages (TDL) in SIGCHI community. Results suggest that academic TDL are...

This study investigated the effectiveness of individual and collaborative outputbasedfocus-on-form instructional tasks on the acquisition of English inversionstructures by EFL learners. Moreover, it explored the developmental trend oflearners’ inversion acquisition. To this end, 60 homogeneous EFL learners wereassigned to individual and collaborative output groups. They were exposed to textsenc...

this study examined the effects of aural and written prompts under two planning conditions (i.e. pre-task planning and no planning) on complexity, accuracy, and fluency of test takers' writing production. forty learners in an english institute, who had already been classified as intermediate according to the oxford placement test, were assigned to two planning conditions (i.e. no planning and p...

Previous research showed that children’s spatial language production predicts their spatial skills, but the mechanisms underlying this relation remain a source of debate. This study examined whether 4-year-olds’ spatial skills were predicted by their attention to task-relevant information—in tasks that emphasize either memory or language—above and beyond their spatial word production. Children ...

This study focused on the effect of transcribing task, as a noticing activity, on EFL learners’ grammatical accuracy. For 20 sessions, oral discussion tasks were assigned to 2 intermediate adult EFL classrooms, with 1 class serving as the control group and the other as the experimental group. For this purpose, the learners were divided into groups of 3 or 4 in each class. Learners in both group...
