SAS sometimes provides an optimal environment for part of an assignment but third-party applications provide a better environment for other parts. The creation of report-quality statistical tables is such a situation. SAS is optimal for statistics but clumsy for publishing report-quality tables. XML offers a new way to integrate SAS with publishing software. To implement, SAS was taught a stand...

Ubuntu dialogue corpus is the largest public available dialogue corpus to make it feasible to build end-to-end deep neural network models directly from the conversation data. One challenge of Ubuntu dialogue corpus is the large number of out-of-vocabulary words. In this paper we proposed a method which combines the general pre-trained word embedding vectors with those generated on the taskspeci...

In this paper, the application of LVCSR (Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition) technology is investigated for real-time, resource-limited broadcast close captioning. The work focuses on transcribing live broadcast conversation speech to make such programs accessible to deaf viewers. Due to computational limitations, real time factor (RTF) and memory requirements are kept low during de...

Automatic discovery of how members of social media are discussing different thoughts on particular topics would provide a unique insight into how people perceive different topics. However, identifying trending terms / words within a topical conversation is a difficult task. We take an information retrieval approach and use tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency) to identify words tha...

Pedagogical strategies increasing rely on technology as a way to address challenges facing the contemporary higher education classroom. This study investigated the use of a tool designed with the specific purpose of student engagement in a large classroom. The tool allows students to post to a community based discussion in a manner similar to a Twitter feed. Despite engaging in a community dial...

Electronic meeting control has been the focus of many research efforts; however, extensively adopted standards are still unavailable. In this paper, we present a generic model for electronic meeting control. Our model is based on the formal meeting protocol commonly known as the parliamentary procedure or Robert’s Rules of Order (RRO). Capturing the essential features of traditional RRO, we sug...

This paper describes our vision for a future time when end users of mixed-initiative spoken dialogue systems will be able to dynamically configure the system to suit their personalized goals. We argue that spoken dialogue systems will only become a common utility in society once they can be reconfigured, essentially instantaneously, to support a new working vocabulary within a new domain or sub...

Twenty economically disadvantaged preschoolers (mean age 3;7) were randomly assigned to an intervention or a control group, and their mothers' styles of eliciting narratives from their children were assessed before and after intervention. Mothers of intervention children were encouraged to spend more time in narrative conversation, ask more open-ended and context-eliciting questions, and encour...
