  COURAGE, Descrição: COURAGE at UEssex is a collaboration funded by Volkswagen Foundation as part of the Artificial Intelligence and the Society of the Future funding initiative, including as partners the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain), the Istituto per le Tecnologie Didattiche of the National Council of Research ITD-CNR, the Hochschule Ruhr West (Germany) and the Rhine-Ruhr Institute for System Innovation (Germany). This project brings together a multi-disciplinary consortium to develop novel approaches aimed at addressing some of the major challenges posed by social media to society and to young members of society. In particular, aiming to develop a Virtual Social Media Companion that educates and supports teenage school students facing the threats of social media such as discrimination and biases as well as hate speech, bullying, fake news and other toxic content. The UEssex team drives two strands of this work, the machine-learning-based user modelling aspect and the process of analysing textual data drawing from our expertise in natural language processing (NLP).. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Coordenador / Dimitri Ognibene - Integrante / Francesco Lomonaco - Integrante.

  ALECTOR, Descrição: ALECTOR: This project address scientific issues including readability assessment, lexical simplification, syntactic simplification, and discourse transformations. Targeting dyslexic and poor readers, in this project, text transformations will be based on theoretical findings about the reading process and further refined by specific adaptations leveraging the feedback from the targeted audience. As one of the key innovative deliverables, ALECTOR will propose a web-based application where simplified corpus will be available to teachers and speech therapists.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Coordenador / Amalia Todirascu - Integrante.

  Smart and Immersive Language Learning Environment (SMALLA), Descrição: This project aims to allow second language learners to read texts of their interests and reading skills, helping e-learning environments to keep the learners engaged in learning activities. The three core research fields related are user-modeling, text profiling, and text classification. The user-modeling feature aims to measure the user skills by tracking user interaction and e-learning tests. The text-profiling feature acts as a background both searching for texts and building a profile from them. Finally, the text classification feature aims to put together the other core features results by selecting texts, which fits in their interests and reading skills. This would allow the learner to take his or her own interest into the e-learning platform and use its resources in specific reading and learning tasks.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Integrante / Cédrick Fairon - Coordenador.

  ExplainText Text simplification of complex expressions, Descrição: The goal of this project is to investigate and develop techniques, resources and tools for automatic text simplification. The idea was to rewrite texts making them more accessible and easier to understand to a larger audience. Our focus was in lexical simplification, where more difficult words are replaced by more familiar synonyms. The project Simplification of Complex Expressions was funded by Samsung Research.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Integrante / Aline Villavicencio - Coordenador / ZILIO, Leonardo - Integrante / Marcely Boito - Integrante / Susana Bautista Blasco - Integrante.

  Modelos Cognitivos Computacionais de Linguagem na Desordem do Espectro do Autismo, Descrição: This project aims to develop computational resources and models to investigate factors related to the acquisition of children's language, and to the use of language in clinical conditions, such as autism spectrum disorders and aphasia. It is mainly centred in the influences of language processes in clinical and non-clinical cases dealing with linguistic and psycholinguistic information.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Alunos envolvidos: Graduação: (2) / Mestrado profissional: (3) / Doutorado: (3) . , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Integrante / Aline Villavicencio - Coordenador / Robert Berwick - Integrante / Anna Korhonen - Integrante / Valia Kordoni - Integrante / Marco Idiart - Integrante / Carlos Ramisch - Integrante / Maria Alice de Mattos Pimenta Parente - Integrante / thierry poibeau - Integrante / Jerusa Salles - Integrante.

  CNPq/MIT Cognitive Computational Models of Natural Languages for Assessing Language Competency, Descrição: In this project, we seek to investigate the influence of language factors in low literacy and pathologies, focusing on Alzheimer?s Disease (AD). Although there seem to have a link between factors like frequency and age of acquisition and strategies employed in processing, studies on these interactions are still scarce, and in particular for Brazilian Portuguese there is still much to investigate. The project includes activities such as gathering existing linguistic and psycholinguistic resources for Portuguese and pilot investigation of adequacy of resources in other languages for constructing database for Brazilian Portuguese; application of psycholinguistic tasks to group target and control groups; analysis of psycholinguistic experiments; development of scores for factors using for instance Logistic Regression and Bayesian models; investigation of correlation between factors and low literacy and AD. A thorough investigation of these factors can help in achieving a better understanding of their links to issues as dissimilar and important as illiteracy and AD. As a result of the proper detection of the linguistic capacity of an individual for the former, a consequent adjustment of language can lead to a more efficient learning experience. In the case of AD, detection of language deficits can lead to an early diagnosis and potentially to a higher quality of life. The long term goal of this investigation is improved scientific understanding of human language processing and its impact in the development of educational technology, as well as treatments and rehabilitation of various language disorders.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Alunos envolvidos: Graduação: (2) / Mestrado acadêmico: (2) / Doutorado: (4) . , Integrantes: Rodrigo Souza Wilkens - Integrante / Aline Villavicencio - Coordenador / Beracah Yankama - Integrante / Marco Idiart - Integrante / Rosa Maria Viccari - Integrante / Paulo Schreiner - Integrante / igor maliotov - Integrante / Suzanne Flynn - Integrante., Financiador(es): Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - Auxílio financeiro.
