This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Advances in Quantitative Ethnography, ICQE 2022, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, during October 15–19, 2022.The 29 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: QE Theory and Methodology Research; Applications in Education Contexts; and Applications in Interdisciplinary Contexts.
"This book defines the role of advanced natural language processing within natural language processing, and alongside other disciplines such as linguistics, computer science, and cognitive science"--Provided by publisher.
The Handbook of Latent Semantic Analysis is the authoritative reference for the theory behind Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), a burgeoning mathematical method used to analyze how words make meaning, with the desired outcome to program machines to understand human commands via natural language rather than strict programming protocols. The first book
This book highlights reliable, valid and practical testing and assessment of interpreting, presenting important developments in China, where testing and assessment have long been a major concern for interpreting educators and researchers, but have remained largely under-reported. The book not only offers theoretical insights into potential issues and problems undermining interpreting assessment, but also describes useful measurement models to address such concerns. Showcasing the latest Chinese research to create rubrics-referenced rating scales, enhance formative assessment practice, and explore (semi-)automated assessment, the book is a valuable resource for educators, trainers and researchers, enabling to gain a better understanding of interpreting testing and assessment as both a worthwhile endeavor and a promising research area.
This book provides an overview of the design and physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles developed for biomedical applications such as targeting and detection of pathologies, nanovectorization of drugs, radiosensitization, metal detection, and nanocomposite implants. The considerations necessary when developing a new nanomedicine are also developed, including toxicological investigation, biodistribution, and efficacy. This book provides an accurate and current representation of the field by addressing the promises and hurdles of nanomedicine via 20 different pertinent studies. Covering a wide range of areas, this book is an excellent partner for physico-chemists, doctors, pharmacologists, and biochemists working on nanosciences dedicated to medicine, both in industry and in academia.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, IST 2018, held in Montreal, Canada, in June 2018. The 26 full papers and 22 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. In the back matter of the volume 20 poster papers and 6 doctoral consortium papers are included. They deal with the use of advanced computer technologies and interdisciplinary research for enabling, supporting and enhancing human learning.
Language researchers and practitioners often adopt tools and techniques without testing whether they really work as they should. This is understandable because most scholars do not have the time or expertise to properly evaluate the usefulness of all instruments, measures, and methods they need. It is therefore critical to have problem solvers in the field who gain the necessary expertise and take the time to scrutinize existing methods, identify problems, and offer new solutions. This volume represents the work of scholars who have done this; it is a collection of the latest advances, developments, and innovations regarding the modeling and measurement of learners’ vocabulary growth curves, current levels of vocabulary knowledge and lexical proficiency, and the patterns of lexical diversity found in their language production. Several of the contributors also address the complex but important relationship between automated indices and human judgments of learners’ lexical patterns and abilities.
Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) explores the impact of intelligent tutoring system design on education and training. Specifically, this volume examines “Domain Modeling”. The “Design Recommendations book series examines tools and methods to reduce the time and skill required to develop Intelligent Tutoring Systems with the goal of improving the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT). GIFT is a modular, service-oriented architecture developed to capture simplified authoring techniques, promote reuse and standardization of ITSs along with automated instructional techniques and effectiveness evaluation capabilities for adaptive tutoring tools and methods.
Recent Advances in Reliability and Maintenance Modeling contains the papers presented at the 11th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modeling (APARM 2024, Nagoya, Japan, 26-30 August 2024). The contributions discuss and explore solutions to the various reliability challenges facing society. Reliability and maintenance is the technology required in various fields such as (but not limited to): - Power systems - Communication networks - Transportation - Cloud computing - Electronic systems - Buildings and infrastructure - Medical and healthcare - Aviation and railway systems. Recent Advances in Reliability and Maintenance Modeling is of interest to academics and professionals interested or involved in the above mentioned areas.
