The use of text mining to build a pedagogical agent capable of mediating synchronous online discussions in the context of foreign language learning

Application of formal grammar in text mining and construction of an ontology

“…Areas that use text mining are very broad: evaluating financial risk [13] and insurance [13], as well as medicine [7,15,16] and biology [17], education [18] and the analysis of web documents [4] in view of the large number of terms and volumes of newly available information. A 2009 study, for example, [9] gives an overview of a large number of works on text mining carried out in the field of bioinformatics in different directions.…”

“…Many articles on the bag-of-words method [1,4,7,18,23] show that an integral part of the algorithm is the processing of stop-words. In Amarasinghe, Manic and Hruska [23] this stage was given special attention.…”

A Variety of Text Mining Technology and Tools Research

“…Traditional information retrieval techniques for dealing with massive data is not satisfactory, they increasingly important text mining, text mining technology is visible from information extraction and related technical field slowly evolved from. Text mining and information retrieval with information extraction closely and fully consider using components to complete these tasks [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The best should be a text mining system in accordance with the process must be executed sequentially, some similar to the data mining process, which also describes a process for the extraction of knowledge, except that the information retrieval and information extraction into a pre-procedure.…”

“…Data mining tools are multi-language, multi-format most commercial text provides a good support, and data pre-processing functions are more perfect, supports structured and semi-structured data analysis process is completely unstructured text mining tools are generally open-source have their own inherent format requirements, foreign source text mining tool for Chinese support for the poor, and most are still stuck in the open source tool only supports structured and semi-structured data phase [3][4][5][6]. Text mining is currently still in the exploratory stage of development, including the development of commercial text mining tools to be faster than the open-source text mining tools.…”

Virtual learning environments on the go: CALL meets MALL

“…A good number of researchers specifically look at the use of Moodle for FLT, e.g. Ono, Ishihara, and Yamashiro (2014), Sun (2014), da Costa Pinho et al (2013, even devoting a whole volume to it, as Stanford (2009) did a few years ago (for Moodle 1.9; unfortunately, there seems to be no follow-up for more recent Moodle versions). There is even literature on the use of Moodle for teaching Languages for Specific Purposes (LSPs), which is of interest to us here because Eating out, a general EFL unit in itself, is intended as part If we turn our attention to the use of mobile devices for FLT, i.e.…”
