The document discusses the innatist view of first language acquisition. According to innatists:
1) Humans are born with an innate language acquisition device (LAD) that contains a universal grammar (UG) comprising principles common to all languages.
2) When exposed to language input, the LAD uses UG to analyze utterances and form hypotheses about the rules and grammar of that language.
3) This innate language ability enables children to acquire language in a remarkably short period of time by extracting abstract rules from concrete examples in the primary linguistic data.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Innatism / Nativism
Chomsky (1959) attacked on Skinner and
behaviourist theories of L1 acquisition
“I have tri
ed to sugg
of languag est that th
e may ver e study
traditional y well , as
ly suppose was “
remarkabl d ,provide
y favorabl a
the study e perspec
of human tive for
processes mental
.”
(Chomsky
,1968)
3. First Language Acquisition
(FLA)
is complex system of rules.
Language Acquisition Device Output
Input (LAD) Universal Grammar (UG)
4. INNATISTS
• Language acquisition,
according to INNATISTS
is a complex system of
r ules w hich enable the child
to:
1. Understand
2. Create an infinite number
of sentences
Dr. Hashim Noor
5. INNATISTS
• Understanding takes place
according to the following
steps:
1. T he child receives
(hears) the langua ge.
Dr. Hashim Noor
6. Understanding
2. His/her brain star ts naturally
wor king to discover or
recognize the shape of the
sounds of this language
(what is it?)
3. T he brain then analyses these
sounds (to see how this
language operates).
Dr. Hashim Noor
7. INNATISTS
The creativity of the child can
be noticed from the child’s
ability to extract abstract
knowledge of rules from
concrete examples.
Dr. Hashim Noor
8. creativity
For example, the child, from the
language he hears, may generalize the
past –ed sign for all verbs he uses
without thinking that there are some
exceptions.
Dr. Hashim Noor
9. Human infant is born with an innate
predisposition to acquire language.
He/she must be exposed to language
for the acquisition process to start.
He/she possesses an internal
mechanism which enables
Hy him/her, from the limited data
Inn ate
pot
hes available to him/her, to
is construct a grammar of a
particular language.
10. INNATISTS
This led many people to believe
that children are born with an
innate capacity for acquiring
and developing the language.
Dr. Hashim Noor
11. INNATISTS
The brain of the child is ready for
the language.
When the child is exposed to
speech, certain general principles
for discovering or structuring
language automatically begin to
operate.
Dr. Hashim Noor
13. INNATISTS
How LAD works?
1. The child uses its LAD to
make sense of the
utterances (the primary
linguistic data) heard
around him.
Dr. Hashim Noor
14. How LAD works?
2. Deriving from these
utterances (the primary
linguistic data) hypotheses
about the grammar of the
language.
Dr. Hashim Noor
15. ?How LAD works
3. This knowledge is then used to
produce sentences. These
sentences go through many
stages until they correspond
those in adult speech.
Dr. Hashim Noor
16. ?When LAD works
LAD works when stimulated at the
right time (the time which starts
from the day of birth till puberty).
This period is called the critical
period.
Dr. Hashim Noor
17. INNATISTS
• LAD UG
LAD is commonl y
known now as UG
( Univer sal Gr ammar ).
Dr. Hashim Noor
19. UG
Children have to learn the ways
by which their own language
makes use of these principles
and the variations on these
principles which may exist in
particular language they are
learning.
Dr. Hashim Noor
20. Questions to be answered…
1- How are the children able to
acquire the language in such a
short period of time?
Dr. Hashim Noor
21. • Questions to be answered…
2- How to explain children’s
similarity in the way they
acquire grammatical
patterns in different
languages?
Dr. Hashim Noor
22. Questions to be answered…
3- How children are able to extract
abstract knowledge of rules
from the primary linguistic data
(the adult speech) although this
speech is too complex and
disorganized?
Dr. Hashim Noor
