Multiword expressions (MWEs) are linguistic objects containing two or more words and showing idiosyncratic behavior at different levels. Treebanks with annotated MWEs enable studies of such properties, as well as training and evaluation of MWE-aware parsers. However, few treebanks contain full-fledged MWE annotations. We show how this gap can be bridged in Polish by projecting 3 MWE resources o...

The concept of patterns and pattern languages has been applied in different application domains like software engineering, human computer interaction, and pedagogy. In the area of Collaborative Working Environments (CWE) there are different understandings on what collaboration patterns are and how they can be described and defined. Collaboration patterns are specified at different levels of gra...

Advancements in robotic technology have accelerated the adoption of collaborative robots workplace. The role humans is not reduced, but requires different high-level responsibilities human–robot interaction (HRI). Based on a human-centered perspective, this literature review to explore current knowledge HRI through lens HRD and propose roles realm. identifies considerations that help implement ...

Accurate and effective voice activity detection (VAD) is a fundamental step for robust speech or speaker recognition. In this study, we proposed a hierarchical framework approach for VAD and speech enhancement. The modified Wiener filter (MWF) approach is utilized for noise reduction in the speech enhancement block. For the feature selection and voting block, several discriminating features wer...
