Type-Preserving Compilation of Class-Based Languages
Guillaume André Fradji Martres
The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is ...
EPFL2023Towards Novel Evaluation Methods for Social Dialog Systems
Language has shaped human evolution and led to the desire to endow machines with language abilities. Recent advancements in natural language processing enable us to achieve this breakthrough in human-machine interaction. However, introducing conversational ...
EPFL2023Matchertext: Towards Verbatim Interlanguage Embedding
Embedding text in one language within text of another is commonplace for numerous purposes, but usually requires tedious and error-prone “escaping” transformations on the embedded string. We propose a simple cross-language syntactic discipline, matchertext ...
2022Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access
Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Camille Bonnet
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could imp ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2022Social/dialogical roles of social robots in supporting children's learning of language and literacy-A review and analysis of innovative roles
One of the many purposes for which social robots are designed is education, and there have been many attempts to systematize their potential in this field. What these attempts have in common is the recognition that learning can be supported in a variety of ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022PARSINLU: A Suite of Language Understanding Challenges for Persian
Despite the progress made in recent years in addressing natural language understanding (NLU) challenges, the majority of this progress remains to be concentrated on resource-rich languages like English. This work focuses on Persian language, one of the wid ...
2021What is Trending on Wikipedia? Capturing Trends and Language Biases Across Wikipedia Editions
Pierre Vandergheynst, Nicolas Aspert, Volodymyr Miz, Benjamin Ricaud, Joëlle Hanna
In this work, we propose an automatic evaluation and comparison of the browsing behavior of Wikipedia readers that can be applied to any language editions of Wikipedia. As an example, we focus on English, French, and Russian languages during the last four ...
ACM2020Multilingual and Unsupervised Subword Modeling for Zero-Resource Languages
Subword modeling for zero-resource languages aims to learn low-level representations of speech audio without using transcriptions or other resources from the target language (such as text corpora or pronunciation dictionaries). A good representation should ...
2020The Unstoppable Rise of Computational Linguistics in Deep Learning
In this paper, we trace the history of neural networks applied to natural language understanding tasks, and identify key contributions which the nature of language has made to the development of neural network architectures. We focus on the importance of v ...
