1. 1. Investigating reading comprehension in Reading While Listening and the relevancy of The Voice Effect

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Edvin Hedenström; Axel Barck-Holst; [2023]
   Keywords : RWL; Reading-while-listening; Multimedia learning; Multimodal Learning; TTS; text-to-speech; reading comprehension;

   Abstract : Various forms of multimedia learning have been shown to aid learners time and time again. One form of multimedia learning that has not been thoroughly studied is reading while listening (RWL). This is especially the case when it comes to the immediate impacts on reading comprehension from practising RWL. READ MORE

3. 2. Understanding Sales Performance Using Natural Language Processing - An experimental study evaluating rule-based algorithms in a B2B setting

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Author : Angelica Smedberg; [2023]
   Keywords : NLP; Sentiment Analysis; Ruled-based algorithms; TextBlob; VADER; Naïve Bayes; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch in data science that marries artificial intelligence with linguistics. Essentially, it tries to program computers to understand human language, both spoken and written. Over the past decade, researchers have applied novel algorithms to gain a better understanding of human sentiment. READ MORE

5. 4. Cross-Lingual and Genre-Supervised Parsing and Tagging for Low-Resource Spoken Data

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

   Author : Iliana Fosteri; [2023]
   Keywords : dependency parsing; part-of-speech tagging; low-resource languages; transcribed speech; large language models; cross-lingual learning; transfer learning; multi-task learning; Universal Dependencies;

   Abstract : Dealing with low-resource languages is a challenging task, because of the absence of sufficient data to train machine-learning models to make predictions on these languages. One way to deal with this problem is to use data from higher-resource languages, which enables the transfer of learning from these languages to the low-resource target ones. READ MORE

6. 5. The effects of collaborative learning in developing speaking skills
