MOTIVATION Acronyms result from a highly productive type of term variation and trigger the need for an acronym dictionary to establish associations between acronyms and their expanded forms. RESULTS We propose a novel method for recognizing acronym definitions in a text collection. Assuming a word sequence co-occurring frequently with a parenthetical expression to be a potential expanded form...

although many researches have investigated the benefits of music in sport, few researches have studied the effect of music on movement recall. thus, this study aimed to identify the effect of motivational music on information recall during the performance of a wrestling skill sequence. 24 male athletes (mean age 21.6±0.9 yr, height 176.4±6.1 cm and weight 67.5±8.4) were trained in 30 skills of ...

People are small group beings. Interacting with group members provides us with the opportunity to receive feedback, to discuss different ideas, and to get support for our endeavours. Groups generally learn faster, make fewer errors, recall better, make better decisions and are more productive than individuals working on their own. However, not all groups achieve high performance. Typically, gro...

Automatic translation knowledge acquisition or automatic bilingual dictionary construction has become an important first step for natural language applications such as machine translation and cross-language information retrieval. Transliterations are used to translate proper names and technical terms especially from languages in Roman alphabets to languages in non-Roman alphabets such as from E...

Problem definition: There is a concerted effort across multiple academic disciplines to understand the recall decision-making process. Specifically, what steps does manufacturer take following product defect discovery and resulting in decision? This has often been limited case studies within particular manufacturer, largely due absence of consistent comparable data firms. Methodology/results: p...

Navya-Nyāya (NN), a school of Indian logic and philosophy, has evolved a sophisticated language to deal with verbal cognition, logic and epistemology. This language is known for its use of long compounds, productive use of secondary derivational suffixes, and a special technical vocabulary. In this paper we present a specially designed domain specific splitter to split the NN compounds into its...

Attempting to retrieve information from memory is an engaging cognitive activity. We predicted that people would learn more when they had spent more time attempting to retrieve. In experiments 1a and 1b, participants were shown trivia questions for 0, 5, 10, or 30 seconds and then the answer was revealed. They took a final test immediately or after 48 hours. Retrieval enhanced learning, but the...
