We explore automated scoring models of scientific argumentation. We consider how a new analytical approach using a machine learning technique may enhance the understanding of spoken argumentation in the classroom. We sampled 2,605 utterances that occurred during a high school student's science class on molecular structure and classified the utterances into five argumentative elements. Next, we performed Text Preprocessing for the classified utterances. As machine learning techniques, we applied support vector machines, decision tree, random forest, and artificial neural network. For enhancing the identification of rebuttal elements, we used a heuristic feature-engineering method that applies experts' classification of morphemes of scientific argumentation.

The purposes of this study were to analyze the level of Earth science vocabularies in the 10th grade textbooks with the Science Word Analysis (SWA) program and to investigate the vocabularies selected by the 10th grade students as difficult ones. For this purpose, we extracted the Earth science vocabularies from eleven textbooks, and classified into scientific and non-scientific vocabularies with the SWA program based on the standard Korean language dictionary. In addition, we investigated the difficulty of each vocabulary by surveying five hundred sixty students with a questionnaire. Results showed that the frequency of the scientific vocabularies that were beyond the designated level was the largest among any other levels in all textbooks. Most of the vocabularies selected by students as difficult ones to understand were classified into out of the level. From these results, it were suggested that the students' cognitive level should be considered when developing science textbooks and difficult vocabularies should be replaced with easy ones without a change of meaning.

During the 1960-1970s, a group of ceramic conservation scientists and ceramic historians in South Korea came together and established their own disciplines. While the two disciplines share the same ceramics as the subjects of their research, there has been little interaction between the two as their research outputs are articulated in remarkably different languages. This paper aims to address the following questions by using a case study that focuses on the research on white porcelains centered on the project of Gyeonggi Museum and a series of studies conducted by one of the museum's project research teams. First, what are the characteristics of and differences between the explanation styles of the two disciplines that share the same research subjects of ceramics? Second, why has the communication between the two disciplines become difficult? Third, if there can be a trading zone wherein the two disciplines would be able to communicate again, what would be its epistemic conditions? The focus of this paper is the relationship between scientific data and ordinary language, which the two disciplines have shared from their inception. By analyzing the relationship, I first argue that, as the analytical techniques of conservation science have become more developed, conservation science's data have gradually lost its relevance in ceramic history, in spite of a shared common language between them; Second, I argue that by recovering the import of shared language again, the scientific data can be placed in a different practical context, providing novel interpretations that are relevant and often consequential to ceramic history.

The article highlights the educational potential of information and communication technologies in the study of philological disciplines in higher education institutions. The study aims to analyze the didactic potential of ICT in the study of philological disciplines, as well as to check the scientific hypothesis that the use of ICT in HEIs in the study of philological disciplines will intensify and enhance the effectiveness of the learning process. To confirm the validity of the hypothesis, experimental testing was carried out and the results are illustrated in the article. The above-mentioned goal of the study determined the use of theoretical and empirical methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, and systematization of pedagogical and scientific-methodological literature to clarify the state of research problem development and to identify pedagogical foundations on which the process of ICT use is based, comparison and prediction; questioning and testing of educational process participants to understand the effectiveness of ICT use in their training in HEIs. The research results showed positive changes in all analyzed criteria in the experimental group, which is due to the introduction of additional ICT tools into the educational process of the mentioned group. The scientific novelty of the study consists in highlighting the main characteristics and didactic functions of ICT in the learning process of philological students; in covering the classification of ICT, ICT tools, and typology of training sessions using ICT in the study of philological disciplines. In the conclusion it is summarized that the introduction of modern ICT in the educational process allows intensifying the learning process, implementation of a variety of ideas, increases the pace of classes and material assimilation, influencing the motivation for learning, increases the amount of independent work of students.

Describing a physical system in idealized terms involves making literally false claims about the system. Given this, it is puzzling that justified beliefs about physical systems can be formed by starting with idealized descriptions and then performing mathematical calculations. I argue that this puzzling aspect of idealizations cannot be easily removed by introducing talk of approximations. I go on to develop an account of how this curious feature of idealizations is to be understood. My account requires us to reassess what precisely we take the laws of physics to be saying, and also has consequences concerning the kind of evidence we can have for thinking that mathematics is the 'language of nature'. Finally, some critical comparisons are made with the so-called model-based account of scientific laws developed by Cartwright and Giere.

Summarization is a complex cognitive task and its simulation is very difficult for machines. This paper presents an automatic summarization strategy that is based on a discourse categorization of the textual information. This categorization is carried out by the automatic identification of discourse markers in texts. We defend here the use of discourse methods in automatic summarization. Two evaluations of the summarization strategy are presented. The summaries produced by our strategy are evaluated with summaries produced by humans and other applications. These two evaluations display well the capacity of our application, based on EXCOM, to produce summaries comparable to the summaries of other applications.

기술의 발달로 인해 수많은 용어들이 생성되고 있다. 이들은 대부분 전문용어이며 이는 비영어권 국가인 우리나라에 도입될 때, 외래어나 원어형태로 도입된다. 그런데 외래어나 원어형태의 전문용어는 형태소 분석기, 색인기 등의 시스템에서 오류의 원인이 되어, 이를 전처리기로 사용하는 자연언어처리 시스템의 성능을 저하 시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 외래어나 원어로 된 전문용어를 처리하기 위한 전단계로서 문서에서 자동적으로 외래어를 인식하고 추출하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 외래어 추출 문제를 태깅문제로 변환하여, 태깅 문제를 해결하는 기법 중의 하나인 은닉마르코프 모델 (Hidden Markov Model)을 이용하여 외래어 추출을 하였다. 그 결과 94.90%의 재현률과 95.41%의 정확도를 나타내었다.

This paper discusses several prerequisites for recording other languages by using Hunminjeongum (Hangeul). The scientific, systematic, and practical features of Hunminjeongum is undoubtedly obvious. Such a view of Hunminjeongeum is based on its iconicity, featural property and non-linearity. However, the existing conviction that Hunminjeongeum can transcribe all human sounds or that Hunminjeongeum is the only script which is easy for anyone to learn requires a more rigorous consideration. Given the fact that all scripts can be evaluated as equal, without one being more superior than the other, all scripts are optimized for recording the language in its own given linguistic context. Further, the function of a script is not just limited in a simple representation of a language. Adding new letters into the system of Hunminjeongeum or maintaining its current mode of notation can be problematic. First, it is important to solve computer-related issues: the registration of Hunminjeongum into the computer system as well as its output, problems regarding unicode, the new developments required for input devices, keyboards, fonts, and computer programs.
