The aim is to develop methods which ensure both the correct evaluation of the function and privacy of individual inputs. Multiparty Computation protocols help to achieve the aim without using a trusted third par...

This paper presents a perspective of generative reuse technologies as they have evolved over the last 15 years or so and a discussion of how generative reuse addresses some key reuse problems. Over that time period, a number of different reuse strategies have been tried ranging from pure component reuse to pure generation. The record of success is mixed and the evidence is sketchy. Nevertheless...

It is unclear what roles native language (L1) and second language (L2) play in the perception of lexical tones in a third language (L3). In tone perception, listeners with different language backgrounds use different fundamental frequency (F0). While English listeners use F0 height, Mandarin listeners rely more on F0 direction. The present study addresses whether knowledge of Mandarin, particul...

Tandem language learning occurs when two learners of different native languages work together to help each other learn the other language. First used in faceto-face contexts, Tandem is now increasingly being used by language-learning partners located in different countries who are linked via various forms of electronic communication, a context that has become known as eTandem. In addition to pr...

This paper proposes to familiarize the MT users with two major areas of development: (1) To improve translation quality between uncommon language pairs, the use of a third language as the pivot. Various techniques have been shown to be promising when parallel corpora for the uncommon language pairs are not readily available. They require the use of two other language pairs involving a common th...
