This paper provides an insight into ongoing research focusing on the exploitation of data from learner corpus in order to enhance the performance of an automatic tool aimed at the correction of collocation errors of L2 Spanish speakers. The procedure adopted for collocation annotation is described together with the main difficulties involved in the annotation task, such as the problem of distin...

The immense explosion of geographically referenced data calls for efficient discovery of spatial knowledge. Spatial association analysis is a typical data mining approach for discovering spatial knowledge. Associate rules are patterns of form X→Y, where pattern Y is likely to occur when pattern X occurs. One of the most famous patterns, Diapers → Beer, is a typical association rule example. Spa...

This report evaluates the impact of using a novel collocation segmentation method for phrase extraction in the standard phrase-based statistical machine translation approach. The collocation segmentation technique is implemented simultaneously in the source and target side. The resulting collocation segmentation is used to extract translation units. Experiments are reported in the Spanish-toEng...

The importance and howness of language learning/ acquisition has been a great concern for decades. There are many factors that play important roles in this regard. This research compared the performance of native Persian and English elementary students to see if there is any significant difference between the two groups and which type of collocation they performed better within the groups. For ...

This research paper documents what learning designs, teaching methods and teaching activities were most commonly used by pre-service teachers and experienced teachers as observed by the preservice teachers when on their practicum visits in schools. The paper also outlines the benefits of documenting learning designs so that good teaching practice might be shared. Using case study methodology, t...

In this paper, we analyse the iterated collocation method for Hammerstein equations with smooth and weakly singular kernels. The paper expands the study which began in [14] concerning the superconvergence of the iterated Galerkin method for Hammerstein equations. We obtain in this paper a similar superconvergence result for the iterated collocation method for Hammerstein equations. We also disc...
