    Word-formation in original and translated English: source language influence on the use of un- and less

    Get PDF
    This article aims to assess whether the word-formation features of translated language, as opposed to original language, are source language (SL)-dependent or translation-related. To do so, we analyze the use of the -less and un- negative affixes in original English and in English translated from four SL: French, Italian, Dutch and German. Findings based on the Europarl corpus show that the use of -less and un- in translated English is partially SL-dependent

    Using a SMT solver for risk analysis: detecting logical mistakes in texts

    International audienceThe purpose of this paper is to describe some results of the LELIE project, that are a contribution of Artificial Intelligence to a special domain: the analysis of the risks due to poorly written technical documents. This is a multidisciplinary contribution since it combines natural language processing with logical satisfiability checking. This paper explains how satisfiability checking can be used for detecting inconsistencies, redundancy and incompleteness in procedural texts and describes the part of the implemented tool that produces the logical translation of technical texts and realizes the checkings

    La prĂ©sente recherche collaborative vise Ă  Ă©tudier les pratiques de lecture Ă  haute voix d’enseignantes expertes et leur influence sur le dĂ©veloppement de l’habiletĂ© des Ă©lĂšves du prĂ©scolaire Ă  faire des infĂ©rences. Plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment, nous dĂ©crivons les interventions, lors des lectures Ă  haute voix, de quatre enseignantes expertes que nous avons formĂ©es pour travailler la comprĂ©hension infĂ©rentielle et les comparons Ă  celles de deux enseignantes expertes non formĂ©es (objectif 1). Puis, nous examinons l’influence de leurs pratiques de lecture Ă  haute voix sur le dĂ©veloppement de l’habiletĂ© Ă  faire des infĂ©rences de leurs Ă©lĂšves (n=92) (objectif 2). Enfin, nous nous intĂ©ressons, Ă  titre exploratoire, au potentiel de la recherche collaborative comme voie de dĂ©veloppement professionnel des enseignants (objectif 3). Afin d’atteindre nos objectifs, nous avons observĂ© les enseignantes Ă  quatre reprises, lors de lectures d’albums de littĂ©rature de jeunesse. Les donnĂ©es obtenues Ă  partir de ces pratiques observĂ©es ont Ă©tĂ© complĂ©tĂ©es par celles issues des pratiques dĂ©clarĂ©es des enseignantes pour toute la durĂ©e de la recherche (neuf semaines). De plus, nous avons Ă©valuĂ© l’habiletĂ© Ă  rĂ©aliser des infĂ©rences des Ă©lĂšves de ces six enseignantes Ă  deux reprises, au dĂ©but et Ă  la fin de la recherche. Finalement, les enseignantes ont rempli deux questionnaires Ă©crits sur l’impact de cette recherche sur leurs pratiques, l’un Ă  la fin de la recherche et l’autre deux ans aprĂšs celle-ci. Nos rĂ©sultats indiquent que si toutes les enseignantes travaillaient les infĂ©rences, il existe cependant des diffĂ©rences notables dans leur façon de mener ce travail. Trois des enseignantes formĂ©es (enseignantes 1, 2 et 3) ont majoritairement privilĂ©giĂ© la co-Ă©laboration du sens des Ă©pisodes implicites et se sont montrĂ©es trĂšs efficaces pour soutenir leurs Ă©lĂšves dans ce travail de construction du sens. L’autre enseignante formĂ©e (enseignante 4), en raison d’une appropriation difficile du contenu de la formation, n’est pas parvenue Ă  offrir Ă  ses Ă©lĂšves un Ă©tayage adĂ©quat, malgrĂ© ses nombreuses tentatives pour les amener Ă  faire des infĂ©rences. Les enseignantes non formĂ©es (enseignantes 5 et 6) ont, quant Ă  elles, misĂ© plus frĂ©quemment sur la transmission du sens des Ă©pisodes implicites et ont Ă©galement soutenu moins efficacement leurs Ă©lĂšves dans l’élaboration du sens. Ces diffĂ©rences dans la façon de travailler les infĂ©rences se sont rĂ©percutĂ©es sur la progression des Ă©lĂšves entre le dĂ©but et la fin de la recherche. Ceux des enseignantes 1, 2 et 3 obtiennent des rĂ©sultats significativement supĂ©rieurs Ă  ceux des trois autres enseignantes. Ainsi, il ne suffit pas de travailler les infĂ©rences lors des lectures Ă  haute voix pour assurer la progression des Ă©lĂšves. D’autres facteurs revĂȘtent aussi une grande importance : le choix d’oeuvres de qualitĂ©, l’engagement des Ă©lĂšves dans les discussions pour co-Ă©laborer le sens et l’étayage adĂ©quat de l’enseignant. Enfin, il semblerait que l’activitĂ© rĂ©flexive suscitĂ©e lors d’une participation Ă  une recherche collaborative et le soutien offert par l’étudiante-chercheuse aient donnĂ© aux enseignantes la possibilitĂ© d’apporter des changements durables dans leurs pratiques. En ce sens, la recherche collaborative paraĂźt ĂȘtre une voie prometteuse pour contribuer au dĂ©veloppement professionnel des enseignants.This collaborative research is an attempt to study expert teachers' reading aloud practices and their impact on the development of preschool students’ ability to make inferences. First, the interventions of four expert teachers specifically trained to work inferences while reading aloud are described and compared with those of two non trained expert teachers (objective 1). Next, the impact of all teachers’ practices on the development of their students’ ability to make inferences (n=92) is examined (objective 2). Finally, we look into collaborative research as a way to support professional development for teachers (objective 3). In order to attain our objectives, we observed participant teachers four times while they were reading children’s books. Data gathered from those observations were completed with other data provided by the teachers about their practices over a nine-week period. Moreover, the ability of the students to make inferences was assessed twice: once at the beginning and once at the end of the research. Teachers also completed two written questionnaires, one at the beginning and the other 2 years after the end of this research, concerning the impacts of their participation in this research on their practices. While all teachers worked inferences with their students, our results showed that there are significant differences in the way they do it. Three of the trained teachers (number 1, 2, and 3) predominantly put emphasis on co-elaboration of the implicit episodes’ meaning and gave their students appropriate scaffolding. Because she found it difficult to assimilate training contents, the other trained teacher (number 4) failed - not without numerous attempts - to offer the same kind of scaffolding. As for the two non trained teachers (number 5 and 6), they gave preference to the transmission of the implicit episodes’ meaning, and supported their students less efficiently when they tried to elaborate it. The differences in how the work on inferences was done had an impact on students’ progression from the beginning to the end of the research. Three of the trained teachers’ students had significantly superior results in comparison to the others’. Therefore, a specific work on inferences only does not ensure that students will make progress. There are other important contributing factors: choosing quality books, students’ involvement in discussions in order to co-elaborate the text’s meaning, and appropriate scaffolding from the teacher. Finally, according to our results, a participation in a collaborative research, which promotes reflexivity and offers coaching, seems to give the teachers the opportunity to bring about long-term changes in their practices. In consequence, a participation in that type of research appears to contribute to teachers’ professional development

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Falls in the elderly is nowadays a major concern because of their consequences on elderly general health and moral states. Moreover, the aging of the population and the increasing life expectancy make the prediction of falls more and more important. The analysis presented in this article makes a first step in this direction providing a way to analyze gait and classify hospitalized elderly fallers and non-faller. This tool, based on an accelerometer network and signal processing, gives objective informations about the gait and does not need any special gait laboratory as optical analysis do. The tool is also simple to use by a non expert and can therefore be widely used on a large set of patients.</p> <p>Method</p> <p>A population of 20 hospitalized elderlies was asked to execute several classical clinical tests evaluating their risk of falling. They were also asked if they experienced any fall in the last 12 months. The accelerations of the limbs were recorded during the clinical tests with an accelerometer network distributed on the body. A total of 67 features were extracted from the accelerometric signal recorded during a simple 25 m walking test at comfort speed. A feature selection algorithm was used to select those able to classify subjects at risk and not at risk for several classification algorithms types.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The results showed that several classification algorithms were able to discriminate people from the two groups of interest: fallers and non-fallers hospitalized elderlies. The classification performances of the used algorithms were compared. Moreover a subset of the 67 features was considered to be significantly different between the two groups using a t-test.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>This study gives a method to classify a population of hospitalized elderlies in two groups: at risk of falling or not at risk based on accelerometric data. This is a first step to design a risk of falling assessment system that could be used to provide the right treatment as soon as possible before the fall and its consequences. This tool could also be used to evaluate the risk several times during the revalidation procedure.</p
