Language choice as a Hobson’s Choice: Ideologically driven language engineering in early and later Demotic Modern Greek Universiteit Gent
“Early Demotic Modern Greek” is a label that can be used for the variety of Demotic that Albert Thumb explicitly describes in his Handbook of the Modern Greek Vernacular, first published in a German version in 1895. Thumb’s Modern Greek vernacular shows a number of forms that he treats simply as ordinary Demotic of his era, presented without any particular comment, e.g. του πραμάτου ‘of the thing’, or τα αλόγατα ‘the horses’. Interestingly, and ...
Engineering Education through a Looking Glass and in Perspective : Towards a New Language, Conference paper, and oral presentation, International Conference on Engineering Education in Sustainable Development-EESD10, September 19–22, 2010, organised by Ch Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Engineering Education through a Looking Glass and in Perspective,
Towards a New Language
Engineering Education is becoming more and more competence based within a project oriented and problem based learning context. A holistic approach is becoming herewith clearly visible as a central pinpoint in the curriculum of the engineering sciences.
New education and learning tools are being implemented intensively and courses ...

Language Engineering for Mobile Software Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Mobile systems offer the possibility of delivering software services that tightly match user needs, thanks to their availability right at the moment and place where they are needed, and their ability to take advantage of local resources and self-adapt to their environment of use. Alas, writing software for mobile systems is not an easy endeavour. Mobile software construction imposes a number challenges that render existing programming technology ...
Engineering linguistic diversity for language learning: the European School experience Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper discusses an education system that has been explicitly designed to deal with extreme linguistic diversity, the European School system. First, key features of the European Schools are outlined. Then I discuss two empirical studies which investigated the development of English-L2 proficiency in the ES system, giving particular attention to how the second language learning process is affected by the interplay between curricular and ...
The fundamentals of domain-specific simulation language engineering Universiteit Antwerpen
Simulationists use a plethora of modelling languages. General-purpose languages such as C, extended with simulation constructs, give the user access to abstractions for general-purpose computation and modularization. The learning curve for experts in domains that are far from programming, however, is steep. Languages such as Modelica and DEVS allow for a more intuitive definition of models, often through visual notations and with libraries of ...
Software Engineering Principles in the Midas Gesture Specification Language Vrije Universiteit Brussel
While many technologies for gesture-based interaction have been proposed and implemented, few focus on core software engineering principles that are commonplace in traditional programming languages. The lack of such principles restricts the applicability of those technologies when developing large scale gesture enabled systems. This paper describes the software engineering challenges associated with developing multitouch gesture-based ...
Human-Centered Engineering of Interactive Systems with the User Interface Markup Language Universiteit Hasselt
The User Interface Markup Language (UIML) is a User Interface Description Language aimed at producing multiple user interfaces from a single model for multiple contexts of use, in particular multiple computing platforms, thus addressing the need for multi-channel user interfaces. This chapter summarizes efforts devoted to the definition and usage of UIML 4.0, the latest version of this UIDL which also covers dialog modeling. It describes the ...
When Natural Language Processing Jumps into Collaborative Software Engineering KU Leuven
© 2019 IEEE. Software engineering is an intrinsically collaborative activity, especially in the era of Agile Software Development. Many actors are partaking in development activities, such that a common understanding should be reached at numerous stages during the overall development life-cycle. For a few years now, Natural Language Processing techniques have been employed either to extract key information from free-form text or to generate ...
SCALE: A scalable language engineering toolkit KU Leuven
In this paper we present SCALE, a new Python toolkit that contains two extensions to n-gram language models. The first extension is a novel technique to model compound words called Semantic Head Mapping (SHM). The second extension, Bag-of-Words Language Modeling (BagLM), bundles popular models such as Latent Semantic Analysis and Continuous Skip-grams. Both extensions scale to large data and allow the integration into first-pass ASR decoding. ...
