Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are becoming popular in multilingual societies. This trend induces portmanteau of South Asian languages with English. The blend of multiple languages as code-mixed data has recently become popular in research communities for various NLP tasks. Code-mixed data consist of anomalies such as grammatical errors and spelling variations. In this pape...

For the past twenty years, some French institutions have appealed to the engineers’ sense of social responsibility: the Conseil national des ingénieurs et scientifiques de France (CNISF), which represents the engineering profession, through its code of ethics (CNISF 1996, 2001), the Commission des titres d’ingénieurs (CTI), the regulatory body of engineering education a in its guidelines (CTI 1...

Personalized learning systems have shown significant learning gains when used in formal classroom teaching. Systems that use pedagogical agents for teaching have become popular, but typically their design does not account for multilingual classrooms. We investigated one such system in classrooms in the Philippines to see if and how students used code-switching when providing explanations of alg...

The federal government has the goal of decreasing commercial building energy consumption and pollutant emissions by incentivizing the adoption of commercial building energy codes. Quantitative estimates of code benefits at the state level that can inform the size and allocation of these incentives are not available. We estimate the state-level climate, environmental, and health benefits (i.e., ...

The success of software engineering projects is in a large part dependent on social and organization aspects of the development community. Indeed, it not only depends on the complexity of the product or the number of requirements to be implemented, but also on people, processes, and how they impact the technical side of software development. Social debt represents patterns across the organizati...

p. xix My extension of the systems approach to the social domain explicitly includes the material world. This is unusual, because traditionally social scientists have not been very interested in the world of matter. Our academic disciplines have been organized in such a way that the natural sciences deal with material structures while the social sciences deal with social structures, which are u...

Especially data on social network services (SNS) is linked to online personas. Our analysis has shown that no reliably solution for origin authentication is in widespread use. We will show the risk and threats resulting from this gap and analyse and contrast several approaches from the live web and research papers.
