We recommend using backward design to develop course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). The defining hallmark of CUREs is that students in a formal lab course explore research questions with unknown answers that are broadly relevant outside the course. Because CUREs lead to novel research findings, they represent a unique course design challenge, as the dual nature of these cours...

Recent years have brought a significant growth in the volume of research in sentiment analysis, mostly on highly subjective text types (movie or product reviews). The main difference these texts have with news articles is that their target is clearly defined and unique across the text. Following different annotation efforts and the analysis of the issues encountered, we realised that news opini...

Probabilistic polysemantic distribution is peculiar to a word with a concrete frequency in the frequency list. Let's introduce dependence "usage polysemanticism" proceeding from the following theoretical assumptions: 1. The lexicon of a concrete language (sublanguage) is reflected in the appropriate explanatory dictionary. A certain constitutive text corpus lays in the basis of the language. 2....

This report explains two methods used for defining Non Functional Requirements (NFRs). Of the two methods one is RELAX which is a requirements engineering language; used to divide requirements into invariant and RELAX-ed. RELAX-ed requirements can be functional or non functional and is an enhanced form of the original requirement. SysML/KAOS has introduced the concept of goals in SysML; infect ...

One of the defining characteristics of intelligent software agents is their ability to pursue goals in a flexible and reliable manner, and many modern agent platforms provide some form of goal construct. However, these platforms are surprisingly naive in their handling of interactions between goals. Most provide no support for detecting that two goals interact, which allows an agent to interfer...
