Co-reference in Japanese Task-oriented Dialogues: A Contribution to the Development of Language-specific and Language-general Annotation Schemes and Resources

This paper describes a corpus of Japanese task-oriented dialogues, i.e. its data, annotations, analysis methodology and preliminary results for the modeling of co-referential phenomena. Current corpus based approaches to co-reference concentrate on textual data from English or other European languages. Hence, the emerging language-general models of co-reference miss input from dialogue data of non-European languages. We aim to fill this gap and contribute to a model of co-reference on various language-specific and language-general levels

Schema Languages & Internationalization Issues: A survey

Many XML-related activities (e.g. the creation of a new schema) already address issues with different languages, scripts, and cultures. Nevertheless, a need exists for additional mechanisms and guidelines for more effective internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) in XML-related contents and processes. The W3C Internationalization Tag Set Working Group (W3C ITS WG) addresses this need and works on data categories, representation mechanisms and guidelines related to i18n and l10n support in the XML realm. This paper describes initial findings from the (W3C ITS WG). Furthermore, the paper discusses how these findings relate to specific schema languages, and complementary technologies like namespace sectioning, schema annotation and the description of processing chains. The paper exemplifies why certain requirements only can be met by a combination of technologies, and discusses these technologies

Künstliche Intelligenz in der Ausbildung von Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeitern: Chancen und Risiken

Dieser Artikel diskutiert die Rolle von künstlicher Intelligenz in der Ausbildung von Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeitern. Die Berufsgruppe der Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeiter umfasst zum Beispiel Journalistinnen und Journalisten, Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare, Redakteurinnen und Redakteure in Medienanstalten oder Verlagen, Online-Marketing-Expertinnen und -Experten etc. Vier Fragestellungen werden bearbeitet: zu praxisrelevanten Perspektiven auf KI, zu Berufsgruppen von Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeitern, zu Chancen und Risiken für die Integration von KI in Curricula von Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeitern sowie zu Forschungsfragen der KI, bei denen Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeiter einen Beitrag leisten können. Der Artikel schließt mit einem Aufruf zur weiteren Zusammenarbeit bei der Entwicklung von Curricula mit KI-Bezug für Wissensarbeiterinnen und Wissensarbeiter

Multilingual language resources and interoperability

This article introduces the topic of ‘‘Multilingual language resources and interoperability’’. We start with a taxonomy and parameters for classifying language resources. Later we provide examples and issues of interoperatability, and resource architectures to solve such issues. Finally we discuss aspects of linguistic formalisms and interoperability

Co-reference annotation and resources: a multilingual corpus of typologically diverse languages

This article introduces a dialogue corpus containing data from two typologically different languages, Japanese and Kilivila. The corpus is annotated in accordance with language specific annotation schemes for co-referential and similar relations. The article describes the corpus data, the properties of language specific co-reference in the two languages and a methodology for its annotation. Examples from the corpus show how this methodology is used in the workflow of the annotation process

Beyond Infrastructure -- Modelling Scholarly Research and Collaboration

International audienceThis paper explores what is needed to foster an acceptance of digital practices in the humanities beyond the creation of pure infrastructure, specifically in terms of understanding and technically modelling traditional scholarly research within a digital medium while enabling new modes of scholarly work that could only be carried out within a digitally-mediated environment

Chaotic, memory and cooling rate effects in spin glasses: Is the Edwards-Anderson model a good spin glass?

We investigate chaotic, memory and cooling rate effects in the three dimensional Edwards-Anderson model by doing thermoremanent (TRM) and AC susceptibility numerical experiments and making a detailed comparison with laboratory experiments on spin glasses. In contrast to the experiments, the Edwards-Anderson model does not show any trace of re-initialization processes in temperature change experiments (TRM or AC). A detailed comparison with AC relaxation experiments in the presence of DC magnetic field or coupling distribution perturbations reveals that the absence of chaotic effects in the Edwards-Anderson model is a consequence of the presence of strong cooling rate effects. We discuss possible solutions to this discrepancy, in particular the smallness of the time scales reached in numerical experiments, but we also question the validity of the Edwards-Anderson model to reproduce the experimental results.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures.
