We describe a rule-based approach for the automatic acquisition of salient scientific entities from Computational Linguistics (CL) scholarly article titles. Two observations motivated approach: (i) noting aspects an article's contribution in its title; and (ii) pattern regularities capturing terms that could be expressed set rules. Only those lexico-syntactic patterns were selected easily recog...

The paper gives a review of teaching Computational Linguistics (CL) at the University of Tartu. The current curriculum foresees the possibility of studying CL as an independent 4-year subject in the Faculty of Philosophy on the bachelor stage. In connection with the higher education reform in Estonia, new curricula will be introduced from the next study year where the 3-year bachelor stage will...

Cognitive load (CL) has been found to influence language perception in many interesting ways, but its role in production has not been explored. In this paper, we look at how CL influences production of tonal coarticulation in Mandarin Chinese. Since coarticulation has been found to involve cognitive planning, this is an especially appropriate domain for investigating the influence of CL. Result...

Human physiological signals have been widely used to non‐invasively measure cognitive load (CL) during task execution. A major challenge for CL detection is the presence of stress, which may affect physiological measurements in ways that confound reliable detection of CL. In this experiment we investigated the effect of stress on cognitive load measurement using galvanic skin response (GSR) as ...

The concerns of psycholinguists will look very familiar to people engaged in CL research. A major area of investigation in psycholinguistics is determining how a listener uses frequency and other experience-based information during on-line sentence understanding. This book gives computationalists a distinguished guide to the current issues in the field. It is very clear that psycholinguistics h...

The CL-SciSumm Shared Task is the first medium-scale shared task on scientific document summarization in the computational linguistics (CL) domain. In 2017, it comprised three tasks: (1A) identifying relationships between citing documents and the referred document, (1B) classifying the discourse facets, and (2) generating the abstractive summary. The dataset comprised 40 annotated sets of citin...

Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of concepts and theories related to the fields of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence, humanities and linguistics. A lot of research has been done in the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence which aims to inculcate human thinking, sensing and decisive capabilities into machines. However,...

While the role of corpus linguistics (cl) in language teaching and learning continues to evolve, its use industry remains somewhat unclear. The specific ways which elt publishers cl research inform materials development are under-studied, meaning that it is not known whether being used by full potential. This study investigates a major international publisher conducting into recent change adver...
