Abstract We construct a new numerical measure of earnings announcement surprises, standardized unexpected call text (SUE.txt), that does not explicitly incorporate the reported value. SUE.txt generates text-based post-earnings-announcement drift (PEAD.txt) larger than classic PEAD. The magnitude PEAD.txt is considerable even in recent years when PEAD close to 0. explore our empirical model show...

We describe our system for the translation task of WMT 2010. This system, developed for the English-French and FrenchEnglish directions, is based on Moses and was trained using only the resources supplied for the workshop. We report experiments to enhance it with out-of-domain parallel corpora sub-sampling, N-best list post-processing and a French grammatical checker.

Many physiological events require an accurate timing signal, usually generated by neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs). On the other hand, properties of neurons and neural networks (e.g. time constants of neurons and weights of network connections) alter with time, resulting in gradual changes in timing of such networks. Recently, a synaptic weight adjustment mechanism has b...

Many mobile devices use touchscreens for text entry. They also provide vibration and audio feedback to simulate interaction with a physical keyboard. To facilitate design decisions of new mobile text entry methods, we conducted a survey and a user study to measure user’s feedback preference and the effect of feedback modes on typing performance. We found that nearly half of respondents prefer n...

this study aimed at comparing the impact of two types of teacher feedback on iranian efl learners’ writing ability and their verb tense consistency in l2 writing. following the administration of a standardized language proficiency test (preliminary english test), sixty-two participants were selected and were randomly assigned to the control (direct-only correction) and experimental (direct meta...

For online marketplaces to succeed and prevent a market of ‘lemons’, their feedback technologies must be able to differentiate among sellers and generate price premiums for trustworthy ones (as returns to their superior feedback). However, the literature has solely focused on positive and negative feedback ratings, alas ignoring the role of feedback text comments. These text comments are propos...

In present competitive world the rapid growth of the web has been excitable increase in the user generated contents in the form of customer feedbacks, blogs, social networks, discussion forums, etc. Most of the contents are stored in the form of unstructured or semi structured data, where extracting of knowledge is a challenging task. Feedback is one of the most crucial parts of any educational...

Textual reuse is an integral part of textual case-based reasoning (TCBR) which deals with solving new problems by reusing previous similar problem-solving experiences documented as text. We investigate the role of text reuse for text authoring applications that involve feedback or review generation. Generally providing feedback in the form of assigning a rating from a likert scale is far easier...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of positive normative feedback on acquisition and retention of throwing skill. the method was quasi-experimental and the population consisted of the 5th grade elementary female students. 60 students were randomly selected from the population and were randomly assigned to four different groups: normative task-orientation, non-normative task-ori...
