The document presents Herring's faceted classification scheme for analyzing computer-mediated discourse (CMD). The scheme categorizes CMD based on multiple facets - technological/medium factors and social/situation factors. Examples of facets include synchronicity, message transmission format, and participation structure. The scheme is intended to facilitate analysis of CMD by allowing focused comparisons within/across samples based on variable dimensions, complementing existing genre/mode classifications. The document provides an overview of the scheme and its facets, illustrates its application, and acknowledges limitations such as difficulty of condensing its structure.

CONTRIBUTION OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS TO LANGUAGE TEACHINGJhoni XomeRingz
Discourse analysis and pragmatics paved away for emergence of such a change. It has become clear that the learners should experience form with function to provide accuracy and fluency in target language.
Study form and function shouldn’t be kept apart
Form and function are two different dimension in language and there may interpretation of the same form
To avoid pragmatic difficulties in language teaching, discourse of language has to be studied carefully by the teachers and students
Cognitive Discourse Analysis: Introduction (LANCOM 1) Jelec Anna
Discourse analysis is based on the assumption that context is fundamental for our understanding of text. The social context (such as education or politics), the thing accomplished by the text (e.g., legislation, teaching), the participants and their various communicative, social and professional roles, the relations between them, the setting (time, location) and other social or interactional properties of the communicative event are all relevant to understanding the discourse behind it (van Dijk 2000). Cognitive discourse analysis uses what we know about cognitive processing to understand and create discourse.
According to the Census of India of 2001, India has 122 major languages and 1599 other languages are spoken by the 1.38 billion population of India. According to the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, twenty-two (22) of them are considered as official languages; viz. Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri. Hence, Translation services are essential for various sectors. Because most people only know one or two languages, translation services assist them in obtaining necessary information in their own tongue by eliminating the language barrier. In this study, we discussed the translation service in brief, its various types & facets, working techniques and current status of translation services & available centres in India.

Semantic Massage Addressing based on Social Cloud Actor's InterestsCSCJournals
Wireless communication with Mobile Terminals has become popular tools for collecting and sending information and data. With mobile communication comes the Short Message Service (SMS) technology which is an ideal way to stay connected with anyone, anywhere anytime to help maintain business relationships with customers. Sending individual SMS messages to long list of mobile numbers can be very time consuming, and face problems of wireless communications such as variable and asymmetric bandwidth, geographical mobility and high usage costs and face the rigidity of lists. This paper proposes a technique that assures sending the message to semantically specified group of recipients. A recipient group is automatically identified based on personal information (interests, work place, publications, social relationships, etc.) and behavior based on a populated ontology created by integrating the publicly available FOAF (Friend-of-a-Friend) documents. We demonstrate that our simple technique can first, ensure extracting groups effectively according to the descriptive attributes and second send SMS effectively and can help combat unintentional spam and preserve the privacy of mobile numbers and even individual identities. The technique provides fast, effective, and dynamic solution to save time in constructing lists and sending group messages which can be applied both on personal level or in business.
The relevance of models in communication researchKenneth James
Model is a very important tool in any communication research. It gives a simple description of a system or structure that is used to help people understand similar systems or structure. It becomes imperative that researchers be well guided on which model they used for a particular research. This paper therefore examines relevance of communication models. The paper considers models as tool to reduce stress that is often encountered by researchers in their research work. Researchers should therefore, use appropriate communication models when explaining phenomena.
Social Software and Community Information SystemsRalf Klamma
Social Software links social entities on the Internet. With this term we label new communication and collaboration media like wikis, blogs, social bookmarking but also traditional media supporting communities of practice. Scientific and professional communities challenge information systems engineering with high demands on traceable and secured collaboration and processing of scientific data. Flexibility, adaptation, interoperability are only a few requirements to mention.
With the advent of international standards XML-based standards like MPEG-7 for the handling of complex multimedia metadata and service oriented architectures engineers and community facilitators can create more generic services for the many communities with diverse but professional needs. Therefore, communities have to be incorporated in the community information systems engineering process.
In the talk we present a new reflective information system architecture called ATLAS offering self observation mechanisms for the establishment of a community-centered learning and improvement process for social software.
A DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK FOR A CONVERSATIONAL AGENT TO EXPLORE MACHINE LEARNIN...mlaij
This study aims to introduce a discussion platform and curriculum designed to help people understand how
machines learn. Research shows how to train an agent through dialogue and understand how information
is represented using visualization. This paper starts by providing a comprehensive definition of AI literacy
based on existing research and integrates a wide range of different subject documents into a set of key AI
literacy skills to develop a user-centered AI. This functionality and structural considerations are organized
into a conceptual framework based on the literature. Contributions to this paper can be used to initiate
discussion and guide future research on AI learning within the computer science community.
Comparative Analysis of Existing and a Novel Approach to Topic Detection on C...kevig
Topic detection in dialogue datasets has become a significant challenge for unsupervised
and unlabeled data to develop a cohesive and engaging dialogue system. In this paper, we
proposed unsupervised and semi-supervised techniques for topic detection in the conversational dialogue dataset and compared them with existing topic detection techniques. The
paper proposes a novel approach for topic detection, which takes preprocessed data as an
input and performs similarity analysis with the TF-IDF scores bag of words technique
(BOW) to identify higher frequency words from dialogue utterances. It then refines the
higher frequency words by integrating the clustering and elbow methods and using the Parallel Latent Dirichlet Allocation (PLDA) model to detect the topics. The paper comprised a
comparative analysis of the proposed approach on the Switchboard, Personachat and MultiWOZ dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed topic detection approach
performs significantly better using a semi-supervised dialogue dataset. We also performed
topic quantification to check how accurate extracted topics are to compare with manually
annotated data. For example, extracted topics from Switchboard are 92.72%, Peronachat
87.31% and MultiWOZ 93.15% accurate with manually annotated data.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
