With the mass digitization of cultural heritage and the increase of people accessing the digitized memory objects, it becomes crucial to develop meaningful interaction patterns in cultural heritage information systems. This explorative study is based on an investigation of 50 websites from the cultural heritage domain. It derives a framework for classifying user interactions with digital cultur...

The objectives of the research entitled “A Study on Students' Difficulties in Learning Vocabulary” were to find out kinds and factors students' difficulties learning vocabulary. subject this study was students first semester Stitek Bontang who took English class. This employed a qualitative design, implementing characteristics case study. For gaining data, researcher used interview questionnair...

Most texts on writing style encourage authors to avoid overly-complex words. However, a majority of undergraduates admit to deliberately increasing the complexity of their vocabulary so as to give the impression of intelligence. This paper explores the extent to which this strategy is effective. Experiments 1–3 manipulate complexity of texts and find a negative relationship between complexity a...

As any language, Sign Language (SL) has a vocabulary and a grammar [1][2]. In addition, the SL has the specificity to be practiced in the space. The work presented in this article offers a pragmatic approach to a classification system for signs of French Sign Language (FSL) to facilitate the access to the vocabulary of this language with the least amount of search items. The objective is to set...

We attemped to improve recognition accuracy by reducing the inadequacies of the lexicon and language model. Specifically we address the following three problems: (1) the best size for the lexicon, (2) conditioning written text for spoken language recognition, and (3) using additional training outside the text distribution. We found that increasing the lexicon 20,000 words to 40,000 words reduce...

Infants begin to segment novel words from speech by 7.5 months, demonstrating an ability to track, encode and retrieve words in the context of larger units. Although it is presumed that word recognition at this stage is a prerequisite to constructing a vocabulary, the continuity between these stages of development has not yet been empirically demonstrated. The goal of the present study is to in...

We present a complete classification of the parameterized complexity of all operator fragments of the satisfiability problem in computation tree logic CTL. The investigated parameterization is temporal depth and pathwidth. Our results show a dichotomy between W[1]-hard and fixed-parameter tractable fragments. The two real operator fragments which are in FPT are the fragments containing solely A...

Ishikawa Prefecture is located in the Hokuriku region in Japan. One of the main targets of the tourism industry in Ishikawa is to increase the number of tourists from foreign countries. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to provide foreign tourists with a “language service.” In this study, in order to understand the state of language service provided to foreign tourists, we investi...
