Neural Machine Reading for Domain-Specific Text Resources

Arnold, Sebastian ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

The vision of Machine Reading is to automatically understand written text and transform the contained information into machine-readable representations. This thesis approaches this challenge in particular in the context of commercial organizations. Here, an abundance of domain-specific knowledge is frequently stored in unstructured text resources. Existing methods often fail in this scenario,...

Risk prediction in early phases of clinical trial protocol design

Perritaz, Alex ; Teodoro, Douglas (Dir.)

Mémoire de master : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; MASID 107.

The purpose of this study is to develop a solution able to determine the validity of a specific protocol before moving to a new stage of the clinical trial. This makes it possible to rule out ineffective protocols and to preserve financial resources. While the risks associated with the clinical trial design lead to substantial savings, they also prevent effective and promising drugs from...

Exploration empirique de la richesse lexicale : la perception humaine

Bonvin, Audrey ; Lambelet, Amelia

In: Linguistik online, 2019/100/7/19/65-94

We investigate how untrained readers perceive the lexical richness of short texts written by 8 to 10-year-olds in French, German and Portuguese. Seven untrained adults rated the lexical richness of a set of argumentative and narrative texts on Likert Scales while performing on a Think Aloud Protocol (TAP) task. Results show that raters consider other criteria than solely vocabulary in their...

Effectiveness of an extracurricular program for struggling readers: A comparative study with parent tutors and volunteer tutors

Villiger, Caroline ; Hauri, Silke ; Tettenborn, Annette ; Hartmann, Erich ; Näpflin, Catherine ; Hugener, Isabelle ; Niggli, Alois

In: Learning and Instruction, 2019, vol. 60, p. 54-65

This study reviews the effectiveness of an extracurricular paired reading program to enhance the reading of struggling readers. For the first time, two program conditions are compared within one study: parent tutors and volunteer tutors. The program was implemented within a randomized controlled field trial; its effects on reading fluency and reading ability were investigated on a sample of...
