Results on the four ABSA subtasks Aspect Category Detection (ACD), Aspect Category Sentiment Analysis (ACSA), End-To-End-ABSA (E2E), and Target Aspect Sentiment Detection (TASD) show that fine-tuned LLMs handle limited training data scenarios better than current SOTA approaches, achieving consistent performance across various dataset sizes. Prompt formulation and hyperparameter tuning influence performance, though concise prompts often suffice when combined with effective fine-tuning. To assess generalizability, we conduct an ablation study across multiple languages, domains, and LLM architectures. The findings confirm that performance gains extend beyond the initial setting, supporting the robustness of fine-tuned LLMs over multiple different languages and domains. We establish new SOTA results on the Rest-16 and GERestaurant datasets and highlight the practical viability of fine-tuning LLMs for ABSA applications under limited training material. article 2026 1 08 10.1016/j.knosys.2026.115277 Knowledge-Based Systems 336 Elsevier 115277 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/78479 Jakob Fehle Udo Kruschwitz Nils Constantin Hellwig Christian Wolff article Grundschule Westermann 7-8 6 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/47802 Karla Müller Anita Schilcher Buchbesprechung/book review article 2025 9 17 1094-348X,0026-4326 10.1111/milt.12526 Milton Quarterly 59 Wiley 141-144 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/78496 Anne‐Julia Zwierlein People frequently experience difficulties when seeking information to complete tasks. To overcome these difficulties, people require help. Regarding struggles with information needs, past research focuses on unclear information requests, such as ambiguous, under-specified, and ill-defined queries, and repairing these by user-led strategies (e.g., clarification). In an exploratory qualitative study where information clerks were interviewed, we, however, found that well-formed and seemingly reasonable requests can conceal misconceptions inquirers have (e.g., about what information is required for their current task) and, therefore, interfere with information seeking and task completion, too. Besides being more difficult to identify than unclear requests, such hidden misconceptions also undermine current user-led repair strategies as they cause inquirers to believe they are making appropriate requests. Understanding misconceptions in information seeking and requests concealing these is, therefore, essential to building more effective information systems. Our study contributes to addressing this task: It is the first to provide empirical insights into how misconceptions can negatively influence information requests, information-seeking conversations, and task completion. Ultimately, our findings highlight that inquirers' perceived information needs can present an unreliable and even counterproductive basis for task support, implying that researchers and professionals should rethink the prevailing focus on user requests in designing information systems. article 2025 7 31 2330-1643,2330-1635 10.1002/asi.70010 Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology Wiley https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/77492 Melanie A. Kilian David Elsweiler Ian Ruthven In the present article we propose to analyse the link between Greek religion and philosophical concepts of the human condition as a problem of reconciling determinism and at the same time free will, with its existential and moral implications. This issue has remained a matter of revision and discussion throughout the ages and latitudes within philosophy, but also in the literature, where through myths, these questions reappear, although in very different historical and religious contexts. We propose to approach these themes through the myth of Oedipus, immortalised by Sophocles in his tragedy Oedipus Rex, which Jean Cocteau, in the tragic interwar period, rereads and resemanticises, but without losing the essential question of whether there is an insurmountable destiny that imposes itself on free will. article 2025 7 11 10.3390/rel16070892 Religions 16 MDPI 892 7 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/77233 Elisabeth Kruse Conversational agents struggle to answer questions during complex tasks such as do-it-yourself (DIY) projects and cooking due to difficulties in understanding task context and user information needs. This study examines the efficacy of integrating conversational and task context in query and document representations to enhance question answering (QA) performance in cooking tasks. We evaluated three document representations with increasing granularity on two task-based QA datasets with a total sample size of 6217 question–answer pairs: full recipe documents (document-based), segmented recipes by cooking steps (step-based), and detailed task structures (task-based). The results show step- and task-based representations outperform traditional document-based approaches by 10% on average (). Task-based representations provide superior performance for fact-based needs (e.g., ingredients, time, equipment) in most cases, while step-based representations better address competence needs (e.g., preparation, cooking techniques). Simple conversational history prepending of two to three turns yielded the best performance, improving results by up to 24% over no context. These results emphasise the importance of selecting a representation that matches the structure of the surrounding task in order to enhance QA performance. article 2025 6 03 10.1016/j.ipm.2025.104212 Information Processing & Management 62 Elsevier 104212 6 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/76836 Alexander Frummet David Elsweiler Udo Kruschwitz This study examines the use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) principles in a GPT-4-based chatbot, MIcha, to promote behaviour change. We conducted a pre-registered randomised controlled trial to assess the integration of MI techniques in conversational agents, aiming to support users’ behaviour change through guided self-reflection and identify how users interact with large language model (LLM)-based systems in this context. Results indicate that short conversations with LLM-based chatbots are successful at increasing users’ readiness to change and usage of MI principles during text generation can effectively mitigate potential harms. Additionally, we identified distinct user behaviour types — cooperative, reflective, and pre-informed—that significantly influenced the outcomes of interactions. These findings demonstrate the potential of MI principles in enhancing the efficacy of conversational agents for behaviour change and highlight the importance of user behaviour in shaping interaction dynamics. article 2025 4 30 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2025.103514 International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 200 Elsevier 103514 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/76643 Selina Meyer David Elsweiler article 2025 4 10 10.1007/s13218-025-00889-6 KI - Künstliche Intelligenz 39 Springer Nature 3-6 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/78481 Rainer Spang Bernd Ludwig Aspect sentiment quadruple prediction (ASQP) facilitates a detailed understanding of opinions expressed in a text by identifying the opinion term, aspect term, aspect category and sentiment polarity for each opinion. However, annotating a full set of training examples to finetune models for ASQP is a resource-intensive process. In this study, we explore the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) for zero- and few-shot learning on the ASQP task across five diverse datasets. We report F1 scores slightly below those obtained with state-of-the-art fine-tuned models but exceeding previously reported zero- and few-shot performance. In the 40-shot setting on the Rest16 restaurant domain dataset, LLMs achieved an F1 score of 52.46, compared to 60.39 by the best-performing fine-tuned method MVP. Additionally, we report the performance of LLMs in target aspect sentiment detection (TASD), where the F1 scores were also close to finetuned models, achieving 66.03 on Rest16 in the 40-shot setting, compared to 72.76 with MVP. While human annotators remain essential for achieving optimal performance, LLMs can reduce the need for extensive manual annotation in ASQP tasks. article 2025 2 18 arXiv https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/77447 Nils Constantin Hellwig Jakob Fehle Udo Kruschwitz Christian Wolff article 2025 ide – Informationen zur Deutschdidaktik 49 StudienVerlag 79-91 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/79404 Christian Gegner Jonas Hauck Sarah Lang Anita Schilcher We present a study in the context of computational social science that explores the topics debated in the context of the 2021 German Federal Election by using the topic modeling technique BERTopic. The corpus consists of German language tweets posted by political party accounts of the major German parties, as well as tweets by the general public mentioning the party accounts. We examined the textual content of the tweets but also included the text in images that were posted into the analysis by extracting the text using optical character recognition (OCR). Our results show that the most frequently discussed topics are party-oriented policies (including call-to-action content), climate policy and financial policy, with these topics being discussed in tweets by both, the political party accounts and tweets by accounts mentioning them. In addition, we observed that some topics were discussed consistently throughout the year, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate policy or digitization, while other topics, such as the return to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan or Israel were debated to a greater extent at limited time frames during the election year. article 2024 10 29 1572-8110,1381-2416 10.1007/s10772-024-10142-4 International Journal of Speech Technology Springer https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59582 Nils Constantin Hellwig Jakob Fehle Markus Bink Thomas Schmidt Christian Wolff Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fine-grained task in sentiment analysis, aiming to identify sentiment expressed towards specific aspects of an entity. This paper explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama-3-70B, for generating annotated data in Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA), aiming to address the scarcity of labelled datasets in the field. Two low-resource scenarios are considered, with 25 and 500 manually annotated examples available. In the 25-example scenario, adding synthetic examples generated through few-shot prompting resulted in F1 scores of 81.33 for Aspect Category Detection (ACD) and 71.71 for Aspect Category Sentiment Analysis (ACSA). For the 500-example scenario, synthetic data augmentation showed a notable gain only for the ACSA task, raising the F1 score from 84.54 to 86.70. article 2024 10 17 10.1016/j.eswa.2024.125514 Expert Systems with Applications 261 Elsevier 125514 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59433 Nils Constantin Hellwig Jakob Fehle Christian Wolff In this study, we compared three different models of reading comprehension on a large dataset of more than 6,500 students. We compared two models representing four comprehension processes as well as the influence of text difficulty to a one-factor model by applying multi-dimensional item response models to the newly developed Bavarian reading test (BYLET). Cross-validation indicated the best generalizability for the one-factor model, but factor loadings and global model fit showed some evidence for the influence of text difficulty measured by word and sentence length and the process structure. All psychometric models tested had a good fit, as indicated by global fit indices and loading patterns. The general factor scores point to reliability and validity. We conclude that theories of reading comprehension processes also apply to some extent to the measurement of reading comprehension as a trainable skill and that the general factor score of the BYLET is suitable for a reading comprehension screening between grades two and six.

We analyzed over 2,208 Instagram stories and 712 posts using fine-tuned BERT models and OpenAI's GPT-4 models. The fine-tuned BERT model incorporating synthetic training data achieved a macro F1 score of 0.93, demonstrating a robust classification performance. Our analysis revealed that 49.58% of Instagram posts and 10.64% of stories contained CTAs, highlighting significant differences in mobilization strategies between these content types. Additionally, we found that FDP and the Greens had the highest prevalence of CTAs in posts, whereas CDU and CSU led in story CTAs. article 2024 9 04 10.48550/arXiv.2409.02690 arXiv 2409.02690 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59409 Michael Achmann-Denkler Jakob Fehle Mario Haim Christian Wolff We introduce the Tidal Tales Plugin, a Firefox extension for efficiently collecting and archiving of Instagram stories, addressing the challenges of ephemeral data in social media research.

Breathing exercises are also increasingly being integrated into smartphones as part of health apps, though their effectiveness in adolescents after acute stress has rarely been validated scientifically. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of an app-guided HCE (n = 36) after an acute stress situation (Trier Social Stress Test) compared with natural relaxation (n = 37), among healthy adolescents (aged 11–17 years). Endocrine, autonomic, and psychological stress parameters (cortisol, alpha-amylase, heart rate, heart rate variability, mood) were examined in 73 adolescents (46 female, 27 male; Mage = 13.86, SDage = 1.87). Significant group differences were found in heart rate variability, with higher values in the low frequency band and low-to-high frequency ratio for the HCE condition, possibly indicating improved physiological functions through the stimulation of vagal tone and baroreflex. The use of a general breathing technique (natural and app-guided) also resulted in stronger relaxation reactions in cortisol when controlling for the previous stronger stress reactivity. On the other hand, app-guided slow breathing without a long training may be experienced as more uncomfortable during relaxation. The integration of breathing exercises in health apps for adolescents appears to be useful, offering a helpful and low-threshold coping/relaxation strategy during acute stress situations. Further studies should examine the benefits of app-guided breathing exercises in both psychiatric samples and the general population across a wide age range. article 2024 8 02 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2024.107148 Psychoneuroendocrinology 169 Elsevier 107148 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58846 Daniel Schleicher Irina Jarvers Martin Kocur Stephanie Kandsperger Romuald Brunner Angelika Ecker Eye tracking is becoming more and more important as a research method within the field of software engineering (SE). Existing meta-analyses focus on the design or conduct of SE eye tracking studies rather than the analysis phase. This article attempts to fill this gap; it presents a systematic literature review of eye tracking studies in the field of SE—focusing mainly on the data analysis methods used. From the IEEE Xplore and ACM digital libraries we gather 125 papers up to the first quarter of 2024. Detailed evaluation provides information on the number of papers that use specific methods of analysis (i.e., descriptive or inferential statistics, and gaze visualization) or settings (e.g., sample size, technical setup, and selected aspects of research design). With the data obtained we can infer the popularity of specific analysis methods in the field. Those results enable efficient work on data analysis tools or education of aspiring researchers and can serve as basis for standardization or guidelines within the community—providing for methods to include as well as current inconsistencies. article 2024 7 26 10.1007/s42979-024-03045-3 SN Computer Science 5 Springer Singapore https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59415 Lisa Grabinger Florian Hauser Christian Wolff Jürgen Mottok In face-to-face social interactions, emotional expressions provide insights into the mental state of an interactive partner. This information can be crucial to infer action intentions and react towards another person’s actions. Here we investigate how facial emotional expressions impact subjective experience and physiological and behavioral responses to social actions during real-time interactions. Thirty-two participants interacted with virtual agents while fully immersed in Virtual Reality. Agents displayed an angry or happy facial expression before they directed an appetitive (fist bump) or aversive (punch) social action towards the participant. Participants responded to these actions, either by reciprocating the fist bump or by defending the punch. For all interactions, subjective experience was measured using ratings. In addition, physiological responses (electrodermal activity, electrocardiogram) and participants’ response times were recorded. Aversive actions were judged to be more arousing and less pleasant relative to appetitive actions. In addition, angry expressions increased heart rate relative to happy expressions. Crucially, interaction effects between facial emotional expression and action were observed. Angry expressions reduced pleasantness stronger for appetitive compared to aversive actions. Furthermore, skin conductance responses to aversive actions were increased for happy compared to angry expressions and reaction times were faster to aversive compared to appetitive actions when agents showed an angry expression. These results indicate that observers used facial emotional expression to generate expectations for particular actions. Consequently, the present study demonstrates that observers integrate information from facial emotional expressions with actions during social interactions. article 2024 6 29 10.1016/j.bbr.2024.115126 Behavioural Brain Research 471 Elsevier 115126 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58590 Leon O.H. Kroczek Angelika Lingnau Valentin Schwind Christian Wolff Andreas Mühlberger Cover songs are alternate versions of a song by a different artist. Long being a vital part of the music industry, cover songs significantly influence music culture and are commonly heard in public venues. The rise of online music platforms has further increased their prevalence, often as background music or video soundtracks. While current automatic identification methods serve adequately for original songs, they are less effective with cover songs, primarily because cover versions often significantly deviate from the original compositions. In this paper, we propose a novel method for cover song detection that utilizes the lyrics of a song. We introduce a new dataset for cover songs and their corresponding originals. The dataset contains 5078 cover songs and 2828 original songs. In contrast to other cover song datasets, it contains the annotated lyrics for the original song and the cover song. We evaluate our method on this dataset and compare it with multiple baseline approaches. Our results show that our method outperforms the baseline approaches. article 2024 6 06 10.48550/arXiv.2406.04384 arXiv https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59417 Maximilian Balluff Peter Mandl Christian Wolff Applying virtual reality to exercise has revealed mood- and performance-enhancing properties of immersive media. Social–cognitive theory and the Proteus effect suggest that avatar appearance contributes to this relation by eliciting behavioral changes. Attempting to influence exercise parameters without modifying the virtual avatar, the present study investigated the effects of differing visual flow speeds on physiological and perceived effort during aerobic exercise. Eighty-two university students participated in three separate experimental trials. During each trial, a virtual cycling track was presented at one of three velocities (16, 20, 24 km/h) in counterbalanced order, while participants cycled at a moderate intensity for 20 min. Objective and subjective measures of effort and affective states were recorded every five minutes. With increasing visual flow speed, a linear decrease of heart rate, perceived effort, and arousal and a linear increase of valence were expected. Mixed linear model analyses revealed no significant main effect of visual flow speed on any dependent variable. A nonlinear relation between visual flow speed and heart rate was identified through pairwise comparisons between visual flow conditions. article 2024 5 21 2509-3150,2509-3142 10.1007/s12662-024-00964-4 German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research Springer Nature https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58366 Carla Luttmann Manuel Mayer Markus Siebertz Leonardo Jost Niels Henze Petra Jansen In the past 10 years, we have seen an enormous increase in the interest in Philippine English (PhilE) vocabulary. This is especially documented by the new entries of distinctive PhilE words in the Oxford English dictionary. Thanks to the rise of electronic mega-corpora, such as GloWbE and the NOW Corpus, it has become possible to discover even more lexical innovations in PhilE. In this article, I compare nominal and adjectival suffixes across the following varieties of English: India, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Great Britain. The comparisons were carried out on a quantitative and qualitative level, based on the findings in GloWbE, NOW and ICE. Apart from suffixes, the article also discusses less frequent and productive types of word-formation, such as synthetic compounds and splinters (budgetarian). article 2024 5 09 1467-971X,0883-2919 10.1111/weng.12671 World Englishes Wiley https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58357 Thomas Biermeier article 2024 5 03 LegalTech : Zeitschrift für die digitale Rechtsanwendung (LTZ) 3 Nomos 144-153 2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58269 Bettina Mielke Christian Wolff Mehrere aktuelle Trends, die derzeit auf ihren Einsatz im Rechtswesen hin diskutiert werden, haben eine starke visuelle Ausrichtung.

At the same time, the number of published libraries continues to increase. An automated classification should help to maintain an overview and identify similar software libraries. This paper investigates if new approaches can be used to classify all software libraries crawled from Apache Maven repositories into defined classes using machine learning. In addition to tags that are not always available or of poor quality, we examine one feature that is always available—the id. Consisting of group-id and artifact-id, the id of an Apache Maven software library contains valuable information that can help in classification. Through a developed preprocessing and an optimized recurrent neural network (RNN), the tokenised ids should allow a classification of most libraries. Furthermore, we present an optimized approach through a hybrid use of id tokens and tags in combination. Based on the dataset including 28,600 labeled entries, a comparison of various approaches was carried out. The RNN achieved a balanced accuracy of 71.36% by training on tokenised ids. A model trained on tags achieved a balanced accuracy of 92%. However, the new hybrid approach, which combines tags and ids, optimizes the result to 94.12%. While a classification on tags achieves a better result than the more general id-based approach, the applicability is limited to software libraries that are tagged. The hybrid approach, on the other hand, takes advantage of the classification results based on tags when these are available, but includes valuable information from the always available ids. article 2024 3 27 SN Computer Science 5 Springer 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58268 Maximilian Auch Maximilian Balluff Peter Mandl Christian Wolff We present two empirical studies to investigate users’ expectations and behaviours when using digital assistants, such as Alexa and Google Home, in a kitchen context: First, a survey (N = 200) queries participants on their expectations for the kinds of information that such systems should be able to provide. While consensus exists on expecting information about cooking steps and processes, younger participants who enjoy cooking express a higher likelihood of expecting details on food history or the science of cooking. In a follow-up Wizard-of-Oz study (N = 48), users were guided through the steps of a recipe either by an active wizard that alerted participants to information it could provide or a passive wizard who only answered questions that were provided by the user. The active policy led to almost double the number of conversational utterances and 1.5 times more knowledge-related user questions compared to the passive policy. Also, it resulted in 1.7 times more knowledge communicated than the passive policy. We discuss the findings in the context of related work and reveal implications for the design and use of such assistants for cooking and other purposes such as DIY and craft tasks, as well as the lessons we learned for evaluating such systems. article 2024 3 15 1558-2868,1046-8188 10.1145/3649500 ACM Transactions on Information Systems 42 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 1-29 5 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/74598 Alexander Frummet Alessandro Speggiorin David Elsweiler Anton Leuski Jeff Dalton Picking a specific object is an essential task of assistive robotics. While the majority of grasp detection approaches focus on grasp synthesis from a single depth image or point cloud, this approach is often not viable in an unstructured, uncontrolled environment. Due to occlusion, heavy influence of noise or simply because no collision-free grasp is visible from some perspectives, it is beneficial to collect additional information from other views before opting for grasp execution. We present a closed-loop approach that selects and navigates towards the next-best-view by minimizing the entropy of the volume under consideration. We use a local measure of estimation uncertainty of the surface reconstruction, to sample grasps and estimate their success probabilities in an online fashion. Our experiments show that our algorithm achieves better grasp success rates than comparable approaches, when presented with challenging household objects. article 2024 2 28 10.1109/LRA.2024.3371328 IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters 9 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 3964-3971 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/58267 Henry Schaub Christian Wolff Maximilian Hoh Alfred Schöttl article 2024 1 22 1610-1987,0933-1875 10.1007/s13218-023-00829-2 KI - Künstliche Intelligenz 37 Springer Nature 111-112 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/55405 Bernd Ludwig This research offers a detailed examination of a novel dataset that collates original musical compositions alongside their derivative cover versions.

It stands as the most diverse compendium of cover songs currently available for study. The characteristics of the LyricCovers dataset are thoroughly analyzed through its metadata, and empirical evaluations in the subsequent experimental lyrics analysis section suggest that lyrical analysis is a fundamental component in the identification and study of cover songs. This work presents a baseline approach to cover song detection, with an emphasis on lyrical content processing. It describes the extraction of lyrics from the audio files and the application of the Jina Embeddings 2 Model, fine-tuned with a hard triplet-loss objective, which successfully exploits lyric similarity to accurately identify cover songs. article 2024 IADIS International Journal on WWW/Internet 22 IADIS 75-92 2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/75238 Maximilian Balluff Maximilian Auch Peter Mandl Christian Wolff In einem gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekt der Universität Regensburg, des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums der Justiz und des Niedersächsischen Justizministeriums erfolgte 2023/2024 das bundesweit erste Reallabor im Rechtswesen.

Tabletops and other dedicated interactive surface devices with direct input and tangible interaction can enhance remote collaboration, and open up new interaction scenarios based on mixed physical/virtual components. However, they are only available to a small subset of users, as they usually require identical bespoke hardware for every participant, are complex to setup, and need custom scenario-specific applications. We present SurfaceCast, a software toolkit designed to merge multiple distributed, heterogeneous end-user devices into a single, shared mixed-reality surface. Supported devices include regular desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and mixed-reality headsets, as well as projector-camera setups and dedicated interactive tabletop systems. This device-agnostic approach provides a fundamental building block for exploration of a far wider range of usage scenarios than previously feasible, including future clients using our provided API. In this paper, we discuss the software architecture of SurfaceCast, present a formative user study and a quantitative performance analysis of our framework, and introduce five example application scenarios which we enhance through the multi-user and multi-device features of the framework. Our results show that the hardware- and content-agnostic architecture of SurfaceCast can run on a wide variety of devices with sufficient performance and fidelity for real-time interaction. article 2023 12 10.1145/3626475 Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 7 Association for Computing Machinery 286-308 ISS https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/55329 Florian Echtler Vitus Maierhöfer Nicolai Brodersen Hansen Raphael Wimmer In interactive systems high latency affects user performance and experience. This is especially problematic in video games. A large number of studies on this topic investigated the effects of constant, high latency. However, in practice, latency is never constant but varies by up to 100 ms due to variations in processing time and delays added by polling between system components. In a large majority of studies, these variations in latency are neither controlled for nor reported. Thus, it is unclear to which degree small, continuous variations in latency affect user performance. If these unreported variations had a significant impact, this might cast into doubt the findings of some studies. To investigate how latency variation affects player performance and experience in games, we conducted an experiment with 28 participants playing a first-person shooter. Participants played with two levels of base latency (50 ms vs. 150 ms) and variation (0 ms vs. 50 ms). As expected, high base latency significantly reduces player performance and experience. However, we found strong evidence that small variations in latency in the order of 50 ms, do not affect player performance significantly. Thus, our findings mitigate concerns that previous latency studies might have systematically ignored a confounding effect. article 2023 10 10.1145/3611027 Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 7 Association for Computing Machinery

However, an important premise for interpreting the results of VR studies, namely that the method itself does not affect time perception, has received little attention. Here we tested this assumption by comparing timing performance in a real environment and a VR scenario. Participants performed two timing tasks, requiring the production of intervals defined either by numerical values ("eight seconds") or by a physical process ("the time it takes for a bottle to run out when turned over"). We found that the experience of immersive VR exclusively altered judgments about the duration of physical processes, whereas judgments about the duration of abstract time units were unaffected. These results demonstrate that effects of VR on timing performance are not driven by changes in time perception itself, but rather by altered expectations regarding the duration of physical processes. The present study validates the use of VR in time perception research and strengthens the interpretation of changed timing behaviour induced by manipulations within VR. article 2023 9 26 1554-351X,1554-3528 10.3758/s13428-023-02201-6 Behavior Research Methods SPRINGER

Virtual reality exposure therapy is an effective phobia treatment, but so far predominantly tailored for adults. A gamified approach utilizing gaze interaction would allow for a more child-friendly and engaging experience, and provide the possibility to foster working mechanisms of exposure therapy. We developed an application in which children make spiders change in positively connoted ways (e.g., make them dance or shrink) if sufficient visual attention towards them is captured via eye tracking. Thereby, motivation for and positive affects during exposure towards spiders are aspired. In this pilot study on 21 children without (n = 11) and with fear of spiders (n = 10), we examined positive and negative affect during exposure to a virtual spider and to different gaze-related transformations of the spider within a quasi-experimental design. Within a one-group design, we additionally examined fear of spiders in spider fearful children before and one week after the intervention. We found that significantly more positive than negative affect was induced by the spiders' transformations in children without and with fear of spiders. Fear of spiders was furthermore significantly reduced in spider-fearful children, showing large effect sizes (d > .80). Findings indicate eligibility for future clinical use and evaluation in children with spider phobia. article 2023 8 18 1359-1045,1461-7021 10.1177/13591045231194103 Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC

It is based on annotations of 17 dramatic texts resulting in 11,939 annotations which were used as training material to fine-tune a German language BERT model that achieves an average accuracy of 73% for the single-label emotion classification of fourteen emotion types in cross-validation. We apply the emotion classification on a corpus of 141 comedies and 92 tragedies to compare these genres. For tragedies, the mean proportion percentages of 'suffering' and 'abhorrence' are higher than for comedies. Inversely, mean percentages of 'anger' and 'joy' are higher for comedies than for tragedies. A new finding is the surprisingly high proportion of 'anger' in comedies. Emotion distribution of the last scenes in dramatic texts also proves the quality of the classified data in terms of literary studies. In addition, the emotion distribution for several subgenres of comedy is investigated including non-canonical works of wide circulation which reached the recipients directly through the depicted emotions in the Kasperl Plays. Comedies from 1740 to 1770 are characterized by a pairing of higher amounts of 'friendship' and 'love'. Satirical comedies from the same period stand out due to high rates of 'anger' as well as 'suffering'. The very successful Kasperl plays turn out to be characterized by a comparatively large percentage of 'schadenfreude' and 'joy'. article 2023 7 18 2055-7671,2055-768X 10.1093/llc/fqad046 Digital Scholarship in the Humanities OXFORD UNIV PRESS

B. Shulman, 1987; Pauli, 2015) als auch aus Sicht von Schüler*innen (z. B. Wragg & Wood, 1984, Wörn, 2014) eine wichtige Fähigkeit einer Lehrkraft dar, die als eine core practice im (fach)didaktischen Repertoire angesehen werden kann. Wenn sie professionell ausgeführt wird, hat sie Einfluss auf die Unterrichtsqualität und den Lernerfolg von Schüler*innen. Dennoch gehört die explizite Förderung einer solchen Erklärkompetenz noch nicht zum Kernbereich der universitären Ausbildung von Lehrkräften (Schilcher et al., 2017). Im geplanten Beitrag sollen die Teilprojekte des Regensburger Forschungsprogramms FALKE (Fachspezifische Lehrerkompetenzen im Erklären) kurz vorgestellt werden. Neben der empirischen Forschung zu Kriterien guten Erklärens und einem interdisziplinär entwickelten Seminarkonzept zur Schulung von Erklärkompetenz im peer-to-peer-Format, steht vor allem die aktuelle Studie FALKE-e (FALKE-expertise) im Fokus des Beitrags. Hierbei wird die Entwicklung der Erklärkompetenz von Lehramtsstudierenden in sechs Fachdidaktiken (Deutsch-, Mathe-, Biologie-, Chemiedidaktik, Musikpädagogik und Religionspädagogik und Didaktik des Religionsunterrichts) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Arbeitsgruppe der Methoden der empirischen Bildungsforschung und dem Lehrstuhl für Mündliche Kommunikation und Sprecherziehung vergleichend untersucht. Ziel ist es, die Wirksamkeit zweier dafür entwickelter Interventionstypen zu untersuchen, die die Erklärkompetenz der Studierenden gezielt weiterentwickeln helfen sollen: Einerseits dadurch, dass Studierende selbst konzipierte Erklärungen vor Schüler*innen halten (und dies mit dem Lernerfolg der Schüler*innen abgeglichen wird), und andererseits in einem Setting, in dem Studierende anhand der Analyse und Reflexion von gefilmten unterrichtlichen Erklärungen eigene fiktive Erklärungen weiterentwickeln. article 2023 6 20 2629-4982,1681-7028 10.25656/01:26752 Journal für LehrerInnenbildung 22 pedocs, Klinkhardt 30-43 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/76554 Katharina Asen-Molz Christina Knott Anita Schilcher This article suggests that in the investigation of World Englishes, which has tended to focus on syntactic, phonological and lexical preferences, the analysis of shifts in word meanings (and meaning-form relations in lexical items) needs to be incorporated. Exemplary small-scale studies show that in polysemic words certain varieties come to prefer specific meanings, and in word fields some varieties begin to prefer certain forms over others. Based on analyses of different ICE corpora, a set of prospective verbs, their meaning relationships and their varying correlations with syntactic construction choices in different varieties are investigated quantitatively (using HCFA and conditional inference trees) and qualitatively (showcasing interesting innovative, possibly emerging uses in some countries). Regionality is consistently shown to be a weakly conditioning significant factor. Thus, it is suggested that lexicosemantic variability and diffusion in the evolution of World Englishes deserve and need to be investigated systematically. article 2023 5 24 1360-6743,1469-4379 10.1017/S136067432300014X English Language and Linguistics CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS

SCHNEIDER Health-promoting and sustainable behaviors, such as active transportation and sustainable diets, are associated with positive effects on human health and the environment. In order to unlock the potential of university students as key actors and multipliers, it is of interest to investigate their level of knowledge about the health effects of climate change and their willingness toward and implementation of health-promoting and sustainable behaviors. In November 2021, an online survey was conducted among students at the University of Regensburg, Germany. A total of 3756 participants (response rate 18%; mean age 23 years; 69% women) provided valid data. A large proportion of medical students (48%) considered themselves well-informed about the health-related effects of climate change, while only a small proportion (22%) of students within economic/computer/data sciences and law felt informed. Most participants knew about the impact of climate change on malnutrition (78%), but considerably fewer were aware of its impact on cardiovascular diseases (52%). Participants who considered themselves informed were consistently more willing to engage in climate-friendly behavior, and this willingness was also reflected in their actions, as they simultaneously promoted a healthy lifestyle. Across all academic disciplines, there is a strong need for knowledge transfer regarding topics that combine health and sustainable development. article 2023 3 23 10.3390/ijerph20075238 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 20 MDPI 5238 7 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/54222 Andrea Weber Katharina Kroiss Lydia Reismann Petra Jansen Gunther Hirschfelder Anja M. Sedlmeier Michael J. Stein Patricia Bohmann Michael F. Leitzmann Carmen Jochem In this report, we present the project URWalking conducted at the University of Regensburg. We describe its major outcomes: Firstly, an indoor navigation system for pedestrians as a web application and as an Android app with position tracking of users in indoor and outdoor environments. Our implementation showcases that a variant of the A∗-algorithm by Ullmann (tengetriebene optimierung präferenzadaptiver fußwegrouten durch gebäudekomplexe https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/43697/, 2020) can handle the routing problem in large, levelled indoor environments efficiently. Secondly, the apps have been used in several studies for a deeper understanding of human wayfinding. We collected eye tracking and synchronized video data, think aloud protocols, and log data of users interacting with the apps. We applied state-of-the-art deep learning models for gaze tracking and automatic classification of landmarks. Our results indicate that even the most recent version of the YOLO image classifier by Redmon and Farhadi (olov3: An incremental improvement. arXiv, 2018) needs finetuning to recognize everyday objects in indoor environments. Furthermore, we provide empirical evidence that appropriate machine learning models are helpful to bridge behavioural data from users during wayfinding and conceptual models for the salience of objects and landmarks. However, simplistic models are insufficient to reasonably explain wayfinding behaviour in real time—an open issue in GeoAI. We conclude that the GeoAI community should collect more naturalistic log data of wayfinding activities in order to build efficient machine learning models capable of predicting user reactions to routing instructions and of explaining how humans integrate stimuli from the environment as essential information into routing instructions while solving wayfinding tasks. Such models form the basis for real-time wayfinding assistance. article 2023 1 20 1610-1987,0933-1875 10.1007/s13218-022-00795-1 KI - Künstliche Intelligenz 37 Springer 83-90 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/53604 Bernd Ludwig Gregor Donabauer Dominik Ramsauer Karema al Subari The duration of action can be critical to accomplishing specific goals. Empirical findings and theoretical considerations suggest that different stages of action planning and execution require different specification levels of action features. It is assumed that at first only crude categorical features are integrated into action plans, which are then specified by subsequent sensorimotor processes during action execution based on situational conditions. In two experiments, we investigated if the integration of action duration into action plans indeed relies exclusively on categorical duration representations or also on continuous-metric representations. Participants responded to visual prime and probe stimuli with short and long key presses. The duration of the prime response was indicated by a previous response cue, and the duration of the probe response was indicated by the shape of the probe stimulus. Analyses of response durations revealed that for response category repetitions from prime to probe, the actual durations of the repeated responses were more similar for shape repetitions than for shape switches. This indicates that continuous temporal information is integrated into an action plan and subsequently retrieved by stimulus repetition. Our results suggest that action duration is integrated into the action plan in a relatively precise form at an early stage of action planning. article 2023 10.1037/xhp0001136 Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance 49 American Psychological Association 989-998 7 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/78617 Johanna Bogon Katrin Köllnberger Roland Thomaschke Roland Pfister article 2023 2625-2015,0942-928X 10.5283/bidw.v31i44/45 Blick in die Wissenschaft: Forschungsmagazin der Universität Regensburg 31 Universitätsverlag Regensburg 5-6 44/45 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/59411 Florian Erhard Bernd Heinrich Meike Klettke Christian Wolff This article examines electronic literatureS as postcomparative media: a pluralistic, fluid phenomenon that questions the political implications, selective regimes, and analytical practices inherent in institutionalised e-literary practices.

The study is based on a corpus made up of news from the Spanish and German media that covers two events related to gender violence in which the two countries are involved. We examined five cultural dimensions that, according to scholars, oppose these two communities: material and factual orientation versus interpersonal orientation; rigidity versus relativization of norms; separation versus coexistence of the private and public sphere; individualism and abstract sense of the community versus feeling of belonging to the group; and, finally, and closely related to the previous pattern, the role given to the family in each of these communities. The examination of these five cultural patterns shows that the configuration of this textual genre is mediated by the social and cultural practices of those who produce it and those who receive it, since the divergences derived from the rules of regulation and behavior of each of these cultural spaces are evident. article 2023 10.5209/clac.70941 Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación 94 UNIV COMPLUTENSE MADRID, SERVICIO PUBLICACIONES

However, previous work also comes to contrary conclusions about how the in-game perspective alters the latency sensitivity of video games. Currently, it is unclear if the in-game perspective independently modulates latency's effects. To investigate how a game's in-game perspective interacts with latency, we developed a shooting game incorporating three perspectives (First-Person-, Third-Person-, and Bird's-Eye-View). In a study, participants (N = 36) played with two levels of latency (low and high) and the three perspectives. We show that latency reduces performance and experience, independent of the perspective. Moreover, Bayesian analysis suggests that the in-game perspective does not interact with latency and does not affects performance or experience. We conclude that more robust means to categorize latency sensitivity of video games than the in-game perspective are required. article 2023 10.1145/3611070 Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 7 Association for Computing Machinery 1308-1329 CHI PL https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/55325 David Halbhuber Philipp Schauhuber Valentin Schwind Niels Henze Predicting food preferences is challenging due to the numerous factors that can influence individual taste. Cultural influences are one such factor that can significantly impact food preferences. Irrespective of culture, however, food visual aesthetics drive food choice. With this in mind, we study 15,000 images of food from prominent recipe portals in China, the US and Germany with the aim of identifying common visual trends related to food choice. We report that distinguishing between appreciated and less appreciated recipes based on visual features through multiple machine learning experiments is possible, with a maximum accuracy of 67%. The classifiers trained on one culture, when applied to other cultures, reveal that appreciated recipes from US and German portals share visual similarities, while the visual aspects making recipes attractive for Chinese users differ. Complementing our machine learning experiments, we conducted a user study with 450 participants from the three cultures. Participants are asked to rank recipes based on their appeal and provide justification through answering 19 questions. The results reveal significant predictors of preference, including perceived appearance and taste across all countries, and negative perception of perceived healthiness for US and German participants. Analysis of 77 consistently labelled appealing/non-appealing images reveal significant variations in low-level visual features such as colourfulness, sharpness, and contrast. These findings suggest that these low-level visual features may play a critical role in determining whether an image is perceived as appealing or not across different cultures. Our results offer promising insights into the development of cross-culture food recommender systems. By demonstrating common ground across food cultures, we believe that these systems can provide personalised meal suggestions that reflect user's preferences while incorporating ideals such as healthfulness and sustainability. article 2023 0306-4573,1873-5371 10.1016/j.ipm.2023.103443 Information Processing & Management 60 ELSEVIER SCI LTD

First, it looks into variable auxiliary be use in progressive and future constructions, that is, the variation between full, contracted and zero be in non-past V-ing environments and related contexts. Second, the paper examines variable application of preverbal does/is/'s in non-past habitual environments. The two variables were selected to represent the 'informal' and 'anti-formal' group respectively, that is, one feature that classifies as a reduction of English structure and one direct transfer from the creole (Allsopp, 1996, pp. lvi-lvii). Thus, in addition to examining the linguistic constraints, the study will take a close look at the stylistic factors conditioning the variation, placing a special focus on the distribution of the non-standardized variants over various registers as well as how speakers employ them to create linguistic styles. article 2022 11 15 0883-2919,1467-971X 10.1111/weng.12617 World Englishes 42 WILEY

Different methods (e.g., Ambulatory Assessment) and stress reactivity paradigms (e.g., Trier Social Stress Test / TSST) in laboratory settings are often used to investigate basic mechanisms of this process. Due to the technological progress of the last years and especially due to children and adolescents growing up with it, the application of these developments in clinical research is reasonable. The aim of this project is to successfully transfer the TSST for children and adolescents into the virtual world, which will be compared to a real TSST situation. Physiological and psychological stress reactions will be analyzed in order to assess similarities and differences. Moreover, it will be investigated whether a Heart Coherence Exercise (HCE) has a stronger influence on coping with acute stress compared to Natural Relaxation (NR). Methods This single-center experimental study will examine acute and everyday stress and coping processes in eighty-four healthy children and adolescents between the ages of 11 and 17. For everyday stress, different parameters (e.g., hormonal profiles and mood ratings) as well as a history of stressful life events and utilized coping methods will be recorded and a relaxation exercise will be practiced on a smartphone over 2 days. Regarding the acute stress reaction, the participants will be confronted either with the virtual or the real version of the TSST, followed by the trained relaxation exercise (HCE vs. NR). Physiological (e.g., cortisol and heart rate) and psychological stress markers (e.g., mood and gaze behavior) will be recorded continuously. Discussion Studies are sparse using a virtual version of the TSST in children and adolescents. A successful virtual TSST would constitute an economical variant, which would also make it easier to administer it in clinical or population-based samples. Effective ambulatory relaxation exercises would be a useful addition to clinical treatment approaches. article 2022 10 04 10.1186/s13063-022-06758-z Trials 23 BMC

Otto Stephanie Kandsperger Romuald Brunner Latency is inherently part of every interactive computing system and particularly important for video games. Previous work shows that constant latency above 25 ms reduces game experience and player performance. However, latency in the wild varies and is never constant due to multiple factors, such as updates in routing tables, users changing their location, or the system's workload. It is unclear if switching latency impairs the gaming experience stronger than a constant high latency. To elucidate, we conducted an experiment with 264 participants playing a shooting video game induced with 0 ms, 33 ms, and 66 ms controlled latency. While playing, the game switched between different latency levels based on three frequencies. Our analysis shows that switching latency significantly impaired the participants' flow. Additionally, we found effects on the perceived tension, the experienced challenge, and the players' performance. We conclude that games should prioritize constant latency, even if that entails artificially adding latency. article 2022 10 10.1145/3549492 Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 6 Association for Computing Machinery Art. no. 229 CHI PL https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/53769 David Halbhuber Valentin Schwind Niels Henze Kinder kommen schon früh mit dem Erzählen in Kontakt und verfügen oft bereits über umfangreiches Vorwissen, bevor sie eingeschult werden.

Von besonderem Interesse sind die als orphisch bezeichneten Gedichte in theogonischer Form, die allesamt Orpheus als ihren Autor angeben. Solche Gedichte sind auch für die vorchristlichen Jahrhunderte belegt, aber wenn überhaupt nur dürftig überliefert, weshalb Vermutungen über diese altorphischen Inhalte lange Zeit nur spekulativ sein konnten. Mit dem Zufallsfund des Papyrus von Derveni in den 1960er Jahren wurden aber Reste einer altorphischen Theogonie entdeckt, die auffällige Übereinstimmungen mit, aber auch entscheidende Abweichungen von Hesiods Theogonie aufweist: Zentrale Motive finden sich teils abgewandelt und reinterpretiert in der orphischen Theogonie wieder und lassen sich zudem mit orientalischen Schöpfungsmythen vergleichen. Hinzu kommt die durch die Jahrhunderte hindurch proklamierte Autorenschaft der nicht weiter bekannten Entität Orpheus, die sich zwar nicht mit der berühmten mythischen Sängergestalt Orpheus gleichsetzen lässt, aber möglicherweise wenigstens bezüglich der Namensgebung auf die gemeinsame Vorlage des sogenannten Goëten berufen kann.

It proposes an explicit division into a weak reading, highlighting the co-existence of national varieties of languages, and a strong one, focusing on influence exerted by some varieties on others. Parameters which constitute epicenters include size and speaker numbers, geographical proximity, intensity of mutual relations, directionality of influence, and attitudinal factors. Methodologically, a fully convincing documentation of epicentral influence would call for diachronic data from both varieties in question, an investigation of detailed usage conditions of forms compared, and a plausible account of the potential for contact - though for now this seems very difficult to achieve. It is suggested that the perspective taken should not only encompass standard varieties and that the weak version of pluricentricity has strong roots in language attitudes and perception rather than production. article 2022 6 11 0883-2919,1467-971X 10.1111/weng.12589 World Englishes 41 Wiley

The taxonomy shows that needs can be communicated through different linguistic means and require different amounts of context to be understood. In a second contribution, we perform classification experiments to determine the feasibility of predicting the type of information need a user has during a dialogue using the turn provided. For this multi-label classification problem, we achieve average F1 measures of 40% using BERT-based models. We demonstrate with examples which types of needs are difficult to predict and show why, concluding that models need to include more context information in order to improve both information need classification and assistance to make such systems usable. article 2022 1 11 1046-8188,1558-2868 10.1145/3498330 ACM transactions on information systems : TOIS 40 ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY

At the heart of the study is a verbal guise test which investigates covert language attitudes among educated Bahamians, mostly current and former university students; this was supplemented by a selection of acceptance rating scales and other direct question formats. The research instrument was specifically designed to look into the complex relationships between Bahamian Creole and local as well as non-local accents of standard English and to test associated solidarity and status effects in informal settings. The results show that the situation in The Bahamas mirrors what is found for other creole-speaking Caribbean countries in that the local vernacular continues to be 'the language of solidarity, national identity, emotion and humour, and Standard the language of education, religion, and officialdom' (Youssef 2004:44). Notably, the study also finds that standard Bahamian English outranks the other metropolitan standards with regard to status traits, suggesting an increase in endonormativity. article 2022 0920-9034,1569-9870 10.1075/jpcl.00079.lau Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages 36 JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING CO

Typical solutions are to study convenience samples or design studies that can be deployed on crowd-sourcing platforms. Both solutions have benefits but also drawbacks. Even in cases where these approaches make sense, it is still reasonable to ask whether we are using our resources - participants' and our time - efficiently and whether we can do better. Typically user studies compare randomly-assigned experimental conditions, such that a uniform number of opportunities are assigned to each condition. This sampling approach, as has been demonstrated in clinical trials, is sub-optimal. The goal of many Information Retrieval (IR) user studies is to determine which strategy (e.g., behaviour or system) performs the best. In such a setup, it is not wise to waste participant and researcher time and money on conditions that are obviously inferior. In this work we explore whether Best Arm Identification (BAI) algorithms provide a natural solution to this problem. BAI methods are a class of Multi-armed Bandits (MABs) where the only goal is to output a recommended arm and the algorithms are evaluated by the average payoff of the recommended arm. Using three datasets associated with previously published IR-related user studies and a series of simulations, we test the extent to which the cost required to run user studies can be reduced by employing BAI methods. Our results suggest that some BAI instances (racing algorithms) are promising devices to reduce the cost of user studies. One of the racing algorithms studied, Hoeffding, holds particular promise. This algorithm offered consistent savings across both the real and simulated data sets and only extremely rarely returned a result inconsistent with the result of the full trial. We believe the results can have an important impact on the way research is performed in this field. The results show that the conditions assigned to participants could be dynamically changed, automatically, to make efficient use of participant and experimenter time. article 2022 0924-669X,1573-7497 10.1007/s10489-021-02719-2 Applied Intelligence 52 Springer

In this paper, we present an interview study with teacher educators in this so-called DaZ module and their views on multilingualism. The conceptual framework of this article is based on Niedrig's (2002) typology of perspectives on multilingualism. The findings reveal that the educators' perspectives on multilingualism seem to be reproductions of their own multilingual biographies and that the framing of the DaZ module tends to reinforce a monolingual mindset. At the same time, the results show multiple ways in which the interviewees still find spaces for multilingual practices within the framework of this module. This underlines the educators' role in promoting a multilingual turn in education. article 2022 0950-0782,1747-7581 10.1080/09500782.2022.2085047 Language and Education 36 ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

The study is based on a corpus made up of news from the Spanish and German media that covers two events related to gender violence in which the two countries are involved. We examined three specific discursive parameters: the structure and, with it, the blocks of information they contain; the presence or absence of specific lexical terms for this type of violence in order to segregate it from other cases of common violence; and, finally, the narrative pattern used to construct the portrait of the protagonists, aggressor and victim, of these events. The divergences detected in relation to the parameters investigated indicate that the media of both communities are at very different stages in terms of the informative treatment of these events: the Spanish press is in an advanced or normalized phase, in which such events are represented as part of the political and social agenda of the country; the German press, on the contrary, responds to an earlier stage, in which gender violence receives an episodic frame, similar to the one granted to other violent crimes. article 2022 10.4067/S0718-09342022000100136 Revista signos 55 EDICIONES UNIV VALPARAISO

First, I give an overview of NP structure in the language, which is characterized by extremely limited possibility of elaboration and modification. I connect this to the observation that Papuan languages are characterized by exceptionally simple NP structures. The lack of research makes it difficult to evaluate the significance of such observations, but I suggest that Coastal Marind is an example of a Papuan language that imposes very strict upper boundaries on NP complexity. Second, while an argument could be made that Coastal Marind NPs allow considerable discontinuity, more thorough consideration of the facts reveals a fundamental, tight-knit, left-branching NP structure, which contrasts with relatively rarely employed looser nominal configurations, including discontinuous nominal expressions. The discontinuous construals are restricted primarily by information structure. Although considered grammatical by speakers, they are extremely rare in corpus data. I propose that aboutness is an important factor constraining the choice of nominal construal types in Coastal Marind discourse. article 2022 0024-3949,1613-396X 10.1515/ling-2020-0134 Linguistics 60 DE GRUYTER MOUTON

829-863 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/57154 Bruno Olsson A fundamental tenet of democracy is that political parties present policy alternatives, such that the public can participate in the decision-making process. Parties, however, strategically control public discussion by emphasising topics that they believe will highlight their strengths in voters' minds. Political strategy has been studied for decades, mostly by manually annotating and analysing party statements, press coverage, or TV ads. Here we build on recent work in the areas of computational social science and eDemocracy, which studied these concepts computationally with social media. We operationalize issue engagement and related political science theories to measure and quantify politicians' communication behavior using more than 366k Tweets posted by over 1,000 prominent German politicians in the 2017 election year. To this end, we first identify issues in posted Tweets by utilising a hashtag-based approach well known in the literature. This method allows several prominent issues featuring in the political debate on Twitter that year to be identified. We show that different political parties engage to a larger or lesser extent with these issues. The findings reveal differing social media strategies by parties located at different sides of the political left-right scale, in terms of which issues they engage with, how confrontational they are and how their strategies evolve in the lead-up to the election. Whereas previous work has analysed the general public's use of Twitter or politicians' communication in terms of cross-party polarisation, this is the first study of political science theories, relating to issue engagement, using politicians' social media data. article 2022 1533-5399,1557-6051 10.1145/3467020 ACM Transactions on Internet Technology 22 ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY

The impact of ML methods on research and practical applications in the educational sciences is still limited, but continuously grows, as larger and more complex datasets become available through massive open online courses (MOOCs) and large-scale investigations. The educational sciences are at a crucial pivot point, because of the anticipated impact ML methods hold for the field. To provide educational researchers with an elaborate introduction to the topic, we provide an instructional summary of the opportunities and challenges of ML for the educational sciences, show how a look at related disciplines can help learning from their experiences, and argue for a philosophical shift in model evaluation. We demonstrate how the overall quality of data analysis in educational research can benefit from these methods and show how ML can play a decisive role in the validation of empirical models. Specifically, we (1) provide an overview of the types of data suitable for ML and (2) give practical advice for the application of ML methods. In each section, we provide analytical examples and reproducible R code. Also, we provide an extensive Appendix on ML-based applications for education. This instructional summary will help educational scientists and practitioners to prepare for the promises and threats that come with the shift towards digitisation and large-scale assessment in education. article 2021 11 10.1002/rev3.3310 Review of Education 9 Wiley e3310 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/51059 Sven Hilbert Stefan Coors Elisabeth Kraus Mario Frei Alfred Lindl Johannes Wild Stefan Krauss David Goretzko Bernd Bischl Clemens Stachl Sporadic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is the most frequent tumour of children and adolescents but a rare subtype of lymphomas in adults. To date most molecular data have been obtained from lymphomas arising in the young. Recently, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive and negative BL in young patients was shown to differ in molecular features. In the present study, we present a large age-overarching cohort of sporadic BL (n = 162) analysed by immunohistochemistry, translocations of MYC proto-oncogene, basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor (MYC), B-cell leukaemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and B-cell leukaemia/lymphoma 6 (BCL6) and by targeted sequencing. We illustrate an age-associated inter-tumoral molecular heterogeneity in this disease. Mutations affecting inhibitor of DNA binding 3, HLH protein (ID3), transcription factor 3 (TCF3) and cyclin D3 (CCND3), which are highly recurrent in paediatric BL, and expression of sex determining region Y-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11) declined with patient age at diagnosis (P = 0 center dot 0204 and P = 0 center dot 0197 respectively). In contrast, EBV was more frequently detected in adult patients (P = 0 center dot 0262). Irrespective of age, EBV-positive sporadic BL showed significantly less frequent mutations in ID3/TCF3/CCND3 (P = 0 center dot 0088) but more often mutations of G protein subunit alpha 13 (GNA13; P = 0 center dot 0368) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1; P = 0 center dot 0044) compared to EBV-negative tumours. Our findings suggest that among sporadic BL an EBV-positive subgroup of lymphomas increases with patient age that shows distinct pathogenic features reminiscent of EBV-positive endemic BL. article 2021 10 06 0007-1048,1365-2141 10.1111/bjh.17874 British journal of haematology 196 Wiley

However, we hypothesize that the missing presentation of the multimedia content is disadvantageous for certain annotation types like sentiment annotation. We claim that performing the annotation live during the viewing of the movie is beneficial for the annotation process. We present and evaluate the first version of a novel approach and prototype to perform live sentiment annotation of movies while watching them. The prototype consists of an Arduino microcontroller and a potentiometer which is paired with a slider. We perform an annotation study for five movies receiving sentiment annotations from three annotators each, once via live annotation and once via traditional subtitle annotation to compare the approaches. While the agreement among annotators increases slightly by using live sentiment annotation, the overall experience and subjective effort measured by quantitative post questionnaires improves significantly. The qualitative analysis of post annotation interviews validates these findings. article 2021 10 Post-Proceedings of the 5th Conference Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries (DHN 2020) Post-Proceedings of the 5th Conference Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries (DHN 2020) 2865 CEUR Workshop Proceedings

In face-to-face interactions, aversive or appetitive actions typically co-occur with emotional expressions, allowing an observer to anticipate action intentions. In the present study, we investigated the influence of facial emotions on the processing of action intentions. Thirty-two participants were presented with video clips showing virtual agents displaying a facial emotion (angry vs. happy) while performing an action (punch vs. fist-bump) directed towards the observer. During each trial, video clips stopped at varying durations of the unfolding action, and participants had to recognize the presented action. Naturally, participants’ recognition accuracy improved with increasing duration of the unfolding actions. Interestingly, while facial emotions did not influence accuracy, there was a significant influence on participants’ action judgements. Participants were more likely to judge a presented action as a punch when agents showed an angry compared to a happy facial emotion. This effect was more pronounced in short video clips, showing only the beginning of an unfolding action, than in long video clips, showing near-complete actions. These results suggest that facial emotions influence anticipatory processing of action intentions allowing for fast and adaptive responses in social interactions. article 2021 9 01 10.1371/journal.pone.0256912 PLOS ONE 16 PLOS 1-13 9 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/47899 Leon O.

E. Losada David Elsweiler M. Harvey C. Trattner Dysfunctional cognitions are a crucial part of depression. Cognitive therapy aims to modify dysfunctional beliefs. Typically, dysfunctional beliefs are questioned, and patients are trained to think of alternative functional beliefs. We developed a computer-assisted, avatar-based adjunct for cognitive therapy that aims to reduce dysfunctional beliefs and symptom severity. Besides, it aims to promote alternative functional beliefs. In a randomized controlled trial with 34 patients diagnosed with major depression currently undergoing inpatient treatment at the university psychiatric hospital in Regensburg, Germany, participants were randomly assigned to receive either treatment as usual (TAU) or computer-assisted avatar-based treatment for dysfunctional beliefs (CAT-DB) in addition to TAU. In CAT-DB participants are faced with a virtual avatar expressing their personal dysfunctional beliefs. Participants are asked to contradict these and express alternative functional beliefs. Assessments of conviction of dysfunctional beliefs, functional beliefs and symptom severity were done shortly before the intervention (pre-treatment), right after the intervention (post-treatment) and 14 days later (follow-up). The reduction in conviction of dysfunctional beliefs and symptom severity, and the increase in conviction of alternative functional beliefs at post-treatment and follow-up were significantly greater for the group receiving CAT-DB. Our study provides an indication in favor of the effectiveness of CAT-DB for depressive patients. It is a simple tool that could support classical cognitive therapy. Further studies at different centres, with larger sample sizes and varying therapeutic contexts are required to prove the effectiveness of our intervention. article 2021 7 15 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.608997 Frontiers in Psychiatry 12 Frontiers

Wetter Rainer Rupprecht Youssef Shiban Cet article examine l’attention accordée aux cultures étrangères, en particulier celles des pays alliés, dans la presse des camps créée par des prisonniers français détenus en Allemagne pendant la guerre 1914 à 1918. La captivité est en effet de temps à autre propice à une ouverture culturelle dont les journaux sont à la fois le reflet et l’agent, témoignant d’une interculturalité mise en œuvre. Au croisement des sciences de la communication, de l’analyse de style et de la recherche historique, cette étude montre comment la presse des camps, parfois très loin de se limiter à la revendication d’un nationalisme étriqué, devient elle-même un espace de rencontres transnationales et d’influences réciproques : s’y esquisse par moments l’idée d’une Europe perçue comme une entité commune, faite d’atrocités, mais aussi de valeurs positives. article 2021 7 Guerres mondiales et conflits contemporains puf, Presses Universitaires de France 29-48 283 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/51879 Isabella von Treskow According to the dynamics of action (DoA)-theory, action is an interplay of instigating and consummatory forces over time. The TAT/PSE-a psychological test instrument-should measure this dynamics. Therefore, people get presented different pictures with the instruction to invent stories. In those stories, the periodical tendencies should be visible, but this could not be shown yet. I reanalyzed two datasets regarding category IS: They were coded by a human expert, a recurrent neural network (RNN), and a convolutional neural network (CNN). It is visible that in Heckhausen's origin data category IS produces saw-tooth related curves in the stories across the pictures and that this could potentially better be detected by the RNN than by the CNN or the human coder. Second, I reanalyzed a study that experimentally assessed the DoA with a picture x position effect and rejected it. Here again, only the RNN coded IS-score produces a statistical significant picture x position effect. This shows that because of its sequential structure the RNN detects different phrases in the text that are barely capable by human coder or other neural networks but are related to motive theories. article 2021 6 15 0941-0643,1433-3058 10.1007/s00521-021-06190-5 Neural Computing and Applications 33 SPRINGER LONDON LTD

Landmarks such as staircases or elevators can help the system in determining the user position when located inside buildings, and navigation instructions can be adapted to the current context in order to provide more meaningful assistance. Typically, most human activity recognition (HAR) approaches distinguish between general activities such as walking, standing or sitting. In this work, we investigate more specific activities that are tailored towards the use-case of pedestrian navigation, including different kinds of stationary and locomotion behavior. We first collect a dataset of 28 combinations of device placements and activities, in total consisting of over 6 h of data from three sensors. We then use LSTM-based machine learning (ML) methods to successfully train hierarchical classifiers that can distinguish between these placements and activities. Test results show that the accuracy of device placement classification (97.2%) is on par with a state-of-the-art benchmark in this dataset while being less resource-intensive on mobile devices. Activity recognition performance highly depends on the classification task and ranges from 62.6% to 98.7%, once again performing close to the benchmark. Finally, we demonstrate in a case study how to apply the hierarchical classifiers to experimental and naturalistic datasets in order to analyze activity patterns during the course of a typical navigation session and to investigate the correlation between user activity and device placement, thereby gaining insights into real-world navigation behavior. article 2021 5 07 10.3390/s21093243 Sensors 21 MDPI

While general measures of usability for user-based empirical studies are well-known throughout the community of researchers, expert-based approaches often lack such general measures of usability. This research introduces the Guideline Compliance Scale (GCS), a measure that can be applied during guideline reviews to assess the overall level of usability. Several guidelines relevant for the system being evaluated are rated by the evaluators according to their compliance. In the case study for our research, an automotive user interface was empirically evaluated in a user study as well as a guideline review with experts. The usability problem lists, which form part of the output, were made comparable by classification using the Usability Problem Classifier (UPC). An in-depth analysis revealed differences and similarities in the problem identification of both applied methods. Comparing the results of the GCS from the guideline review with the results of the System Usability Scale (SUS) from the user study, regarding the overall level of usability, showed similar results for both scales. article 2021 5 Journal of Usability Studies 16 Usability Professionals' Association 179-202 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/51580 Lukas Lamm Christian Wolff article 2021 3 Lesen!

For a patient-specific treatment, an individual dosimetry based on SPECT/CT imaging is necessary. The aim of this study is to introduce a dosimetry method, where dose voxel kernels (DVK) are predicted by a neural network. Methods: Kidneys are considered one of the most critical organs in any radionuclide therapy. Hence we chose kidneys of 26 patients, who underwent Lu-177-DOTATOC or PSMA therapy, as target organs for our dosimetric method. First of all, density kernels with a size of 9 x 9 x 9 voxels were considered, and the corresponding DVKs were calculated by Monte Carlo simulations. These kernels were used to train a neural network (NN), which received a density kernel as input and predicted a DVK at the output. To predict the dose distribution of an entire kidney, the organ had to be partitioned into a large number of density kernels. Afterwards the DVKs were predicted by a trained NN, and employed to reconstruct the whole-organ dose distribution by convolution with the activity distribution. This method was compared to the standard method where the activity distribution is convolved with a DVK based on a homogeneous soft tissue kernel. Results: The number of training kernels amounted to 52,274 density kernels with corresponding MC-derived DVKs. The results serve as proof of principle of the newly proposed method and showed that the NN approach yielded superior results compared to the standard method with no additional computational effort. Conclusion: The NN approach is an accurate and highly competitive dosimetric method to precisely estimate absorbed radiation dose in critical organs like kidneys in clinical routine. To further improve the results, a larger number of DVKs needs to be computed by Monte Carlo simulations. An extension of the method to other organs is easily conceivable. article 2021 0939-3889,1876-4436 10.1016/j.zemedi.2020.09.005 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik 31 Elsevier

Lang Christian Schmidkonz Torsten Kuwert Bernd Ludwig While different automated procedures for vowel formant prediction have recently been proposed, it is unclear how reliably these methods perform in the phonetic study of vowels in New Englishes and how such approaches could be applied to specific varieties. This paper compares different automatic methods for vowel formant prediction in New Englishes, using manual measurements of Trinidadian English as a baseline. The results show that all methods perform significantly better than default formant parameters often used in speech analysis packages, and that a Bayesian formant tracker calibrated with American (US-FAVE) and Trinidadian English (TRINI-FAVE) generally provides better results than an automatic procedure that optimizes formant ceilings on a vowel- and speaker-specific level. TRINI-FAVE measures vowels characteristic of Trinidadian English most accurately. Phonetic studies of vowels in New Englishes can benefit from these methods. article 2021 0172-8865,1569-9730 10.1075/eww.00060.mee English World-Wide.

In order to illustrate the academic landscape of the FALKE project we briefly outline the nature of the transdisciplinary German “Fachdidaktiken” (Engl.: subject-matter didactics, i.e., special academic disciplines of teaching and learning specific school subjects). The FALKE project required the willingness of all researchers from eleven participating subject-matter didactics to rely on both the concepts and the methods of educational sciences as an overarching research framework (transdisciplinary aspect). All researchers of subject-matter didactics had to develop a shared conceptual, methodological, and administrative framework in order to empirically investigate commonalities in and differences between “good explanations” across the range of school subjects represented (multidisciplinary aspect). The additional perspectives of researchers in speech science and linguistics proved fruitful in recognizing rhetorical and linguistic aspects of teacher explanations (interdisciplinary aspect). Data management and statistical analysis were provided by the discipline methods of educational sciences. Rather than reporting empirical results, we here discuss opportunities and challenges as well as the lessons learned from the FALKE project regarding cognitive-epistemic reasoning, communication, and organization. article 2021 10.3389/feduc.2020.579982 Frontiers in Education 12 Frontiers 1-12 579982 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/44488 Alfred Lindl Sven Hilbert Anita Schilcher Stefan Krauss Petra Kirchhoff Katharina Asen-Molz Christina Ehras Michael Elmer Mario Frei Lisa Gaier Maria Gastl-Pischetsrieder Eileen Gunga Renate Murmann Simone Röhrl Anna-Maria Ruck Matthias Weich Arne Dittmer Michael Fricke Bernhard Hofmann Josef Memminger Astrid Rank Oliver Tepner Christiane Thim-Mabrey article 2021 2625-2015,0942-928X Blick in die Wissenschaft : Forschungsmagazin der Universität Regensburg 30 Universitätsverlag Regensburg 45-51 42-43 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/54030 Solveig Ottmann Cloud gaming services and remote play offer a wide range of advantages but can inherent a considerable delay between input and action also known as latency. Previous work indicates that deep learning algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANN) are able to compensate for latency. As high latency in video games significantly reduces player performance and game experience, this work investigates if latency can be compensated using ANNs within a live first-person action game. We developed a 3D video game and coupled it with the prediction of an ANN. We trained our network on data of 24 participants who played the game in a first study. We evaluated our system in a second user study with 96 participants. To simulate latency in cloud game streaming services, we added 180 ms latency to the game by buffering user inputs. In the study we predicted latency values of 60 ms, 120 ms and 180 ms. Our results show that players achieve significantly higher scores, substantially more hits per shot and associate the game significantly stronger with a positive affect when supported by our ANN. This work illustrates that high latency systems, such as game streaming services, benefit from utilizing a predictive system. article 2021 10.1145/3474710 Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 5 Association for Computing Machinery 1-20 CHI PL https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/54944 David Halbhuber Niels Henze Valentin Schwind In German printings of the early 18th century, the shift from the hitherto dominant sentence-dividing punctuation mark, the virgule, to the comma, takes place astonishingly rapidly. It is also astonishing that until recently, research has barely devoted itself to this phenomenon, even though it is at least a turning point in the history of the highest-frequency punctuation mark in German writing. The paper examines to what extent the transition from the use of the virgule to the comma is carried out in a phase-specific manner. Previous samples have indicated the influence of the font choice on the choice of punctuation: Printers or typesetters in the early 18th century set the comma especially in the environment of the Antiqua script, which is used to graphically label non-native words or syntagms. Is this a kind of "gateway" to the comma? By means of a corpus analysis in micro-diachronic sections, the status of the virgule/comma variation will be associated with the typographic variation in terms of the use of Latin Antiqua type and the German type. article 2021 0721-9067,1613-3706 10.1515/zfs-2021-2034 Zeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft 40 DE GRUYTER MOUTON

Therefore, competence-based orientation is an important aspect of education. The representation of a standardized job profile in the field of medical informatics, which is based on the most common labor market requirements, is fundamental for identifying and conveying the learning goals corresponding to these competences. Methods: To identify the most common requirements, we extracted 544 job advertisements from the German job portal, STEPSTONE. This process was conducted via a program we developed in R with the "rvest" library, utilizing web crawling, web extraction, and text mining. After removing duplicates and filtering for jobs that required a bachelor's degree, 147 job advertisements remained, from which we extracted qualification terms. We categorized the terms into six groups: professional expertise, soft skills, teamwork, processes, learning, and problem-solving abilities. Results: The results showed that only 45% of the terms are related to professional expertise, while 55% are related to soft skills. Studies of employee soft skills have shown similar results. The most prevalent terms were programming, experience, project, and server. Our second major finding is the importance of experience, further underlining how essential practical skills are. Conclusions: Previous studies used surveys and narrative descriptions. This is the first study to use web crawling, web extraction, and text mining. Our research shows that soft skills and specialist knowledge carry equal weight. The insights gained from this study may be of assistance in developing curricula for medical informatics. article 2021 1386-5056,1872-8243 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2021.104453 International Journal of Medical Informatics 150 ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD

Such shifts are rarely reported in the cross-linguistic literature. In conjunction with phylogenetic-comparative evidence on cases of actual diachronic shift, we offer a synchronic usage-based analysis of the inclusive in one particular language, Anal Naga. In this language, usage frequencies suggest that a shift of the inclusive is underway: apart from the frequent generic usage, the inclusive now commonly has a humbling, empathy-seeking first person (1SG/EXCL) reference. In contrast, forms that combine inclusive and plural marking pattern more like a prototypical inclusive, i.e., with regular reference to the local speech act participants of speaker and addressee(s). The optional plural marking is the most important factor to determine the reference pattern of the inclusive. Other factors (irrealis setting; lexeme semantics) only play a marginal role; person form (bound indexes or free pronouns) and syntactic role are not indicative. article 2021 0165-4004,1614-7308 10.1515/flin-2021-2018 Folia Linguistica 55 WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH

Rather than tracking the development of entire paradigms, our goal is to arrive at a better understanding of the diachronic pathways of those source constructions that end up as a conventionalized means of marking a particular person or person scenario, i.e. the specific (di)transitive person configuration. We discuss how this diachronic typology will need to consider certain types, or characteristics, of person markers, such as free vs. bound forms; SAP vs. 3rd person forms; or the status of person scenario markers. With respect to the source constructions and pathways, it is useful to distinguish between category-internal (e.g., person shift) and category-external (e.g., impersonal constructions) sources that give rise to person forms. We further offer a brief summary of the types of motivations that have been argued to lie behind the observed changes. Other issues of interest involve the stability vs. susceptibility for change as well as the optionality and synchronic variation of person forms, which may precede diachronic change. article 2021 0165-4004,1614-7308 10.1515/flin-2021-2012 Folia Linguistica 55 WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH

We are interested in how the language and the content on these platforms differ from each other. We scrape both forums for a specific period. Next to general methods of computational text analysis, we focus on sentiment analysis, topic modeling and the distribution of word categories to analyze these forums. Our results indicate that Beyond Blue is generally more positive and that the users are more supportive to each other. Topic modeling shows that Beyond Blue's users talk more about adult topics like finance and work while topics shaped by school or college terms are more prevalent on r/depression. Based on our findings we hypothesize that the professional curation and moderation of a depression forum is beneficial for the discussion in it. article 2020 12 Proceedings of the Fifth Social Media Mining for Health Applications Workshop & Shared Task Proceedings of the Fifth Social Media Mining for Health Applications Workshop & Shared Task

Growing information overload has made this problem even more pronounced. On the other hand we have recently witnessed the emergence of intelligent tools, packages and resources that made it possible to rapidly transfer knowledge from the academic community to industry, government and other potential beneficiaries. Here we demonstrate how adopting state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) and crowdsourcing methods has resulted in measurable benefits for a human rights organisation by transforming their information and knowledge management using a novel approach that supports human rights monitoring in conflict zones. More specifically, we report on mining and classifying Arabic Twitter in order to identify potential human rights abuse incidents in a continuous stream of social media data within a specified geographical region. Results show deep learning approaches such as LSTM allow us to push the precision close to 85 for this task with an F1-score of 75. Apart from the scientific insights we also demonstrate the viability of the framework which has been deployed as the Ceasefire Iraq portal for more than three years which has already collected thousands of witness reports from within Iraq.

At the same time, the focus is on identifying and investigating unique subject-specific aspects on the one hand and transdisciplinary, generalizable effects on the other. This poses various methodological challenges for educational researchers, including in particular the aggregation and evaluation of already published study effects, hierarchical data structures, measurement errors, and comprehensive data sets with a large number of potentially relevant variables. In order to adequately deal with these challenges, this paper presents the core concepts of four methodological approaches that are suitable for the analysis of transdisciplinary research questions: meta-analysis, multilevel models, latent multilevel structural equation models, and machine learning methods. Each of these approaches is briefly illustrated with an example inspired by the interdisciplinary research project FALKE (subject-specific teacher competencies in explaining).

Sixty-five websites were identified and qualitatively examined with respect to content quality as defined by the literature, as well as meta information on design and structure of the page. In a further step, the same web pages were evaluated by non-expert users in an online study. Deficiencies were found, both in terms of the quality of information on the websites, and with respect to the search behaviour and the rating competence of users. Many of the examined web pages showed little or no relevance for weight loss and 46% of the pages covered a maximum of only 3 of the 18 content criteria. Significant differences in results were identified for websites of different type. Media websites covered most criteria (M = 5.5, SD = 2.66), followed by commercial sites (M = 4.10, SD = 2.54). Nonprofit sites contained the fewest content criteria (M = 2.72, SD = 2.7), but made the least number of unsubstantiated claims and met the most design criteria. In the majority of cases, agreement between participant ratings was found to be poor to moderate. They also generally found fewer content criteria than the gold standard suggested, but gave higher quality ratings and underestimated the proportion of unsubstantiated claims. We conclude that users have low expectations for weight loss information on the Internet or are influenced by criteria other than content when assessing quality. article 2020 3 31 10.5283/mnhd.26 Movement and Nutrition in Health and Disease 4 39-52 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/43389 Selina Meyer David Elsweiler Bernd Ludwig Zunächst erörtern wir häufig diskutierte datenethische Problemstellungen, mit denen die digitale Gesellschaft konfrontiert ist, z.B. im Zusammenhang mit social media, dem internet of things oder hinsichtlich der Möglichkeiten prädiktiver Systeme, automatisierter Rechtsdurchsetzung und autonomer Systeme.

However, this may not be appropriate for newer, more interactive systems, such as Conversational Search agents. Such systems rely on Machine Learning technologies, which are not yet sufficiently advanced to permit true human-like dialogues, and so research can be enabled by simulation via human agents. In this work we compare dialogues obtained from two studies with the same context, assistance in the kitchen, but with different experimental setups, allowing us to learn about and evaluate conversational IR systems. We discover that users adapt their behaviour when they think they are interacting with a system and that human-like conversations in one of the studies were unpredictable to an extent we did not expect. Our results have implications for the development of new studies in this area and, ultimately, the design of future conversational agents. article 2020 2 10 1618-2162,1610-1995 10.1007/s13222-020-00333-z Datenbank-Spektrum 20 Springer 37-41 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/43374 David Elsweiler Alexander Frummet Morgan Harvey article 2020 1 02 Praxis Grundschule 20 Westermann 30-41 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/76547 Christina Knott Maria Steinert Purpose Functional MRI is not routinely used for neurosurgical planning despite potential important advantages, due to difficulty of determining quality. We introduce a novel method for objective evaluation of fMRI scan quality, based on activation maps. A template matching analysis (TMA) is presented and tested on data from two clinical fMRI protocols, performed by healthy controls in seven clinical centers. Preliminary clinical utility is tested with data from low-grade glioma patients. Methods Data were collected from 42 healthy subjects from seven centers, with standardized finger tapping (FT) and verb generation (VG) tasks. Copies of these "typical" data were deliberately analyzed incorrectly to assess feasibility of identifying them as "atypical." Analyses of the VG task administered to 32 tumor patients assessed sensitivity of the TMA method to anatomical abnormalities. Results TMA identified all atypical activity maps for both tasks, at the cost of incorrectly classifying 3.6 (VG)-6.5% (FT) of typical maps as atypical. For patients, the average TMA was significantly higher than atypical healthy scans, despite localized anatomical abnormalities caused by a tumor. Conclusion This study supports feasibility of TMA for objective identification of atypical activation patterns for motor and verb generation fMRI protocols. TMA can facilitate the use and evaluation of clinical fMRI in hospital settings that have limited access to fMRI experts. In a clinical setting, this method could be applied to automatically flag fMRI scans showing atypical activation patterns for further investigation to determine whether atypicality is caused by poor scan data quality or abnormal functional topography. article 2020 0028-3940,1432-1920 10.1007/s00234-020-02510-z Neuroradiology 62 Springer

Thus, NamE should not be seen as a monolithic entity but rather as a group of ethnically and/or socially conditioned varieties. In this paper, we undertake a first approach to Baster English, a potential ethnic variety of NamE. The Rehoboth Basters constitute a unique ethnically mixed Afrikaans-speaking group from South Africa, who settled in Namibia in the 19th century and are known for their strong sense of a separate local and ethnic identity. Triangulating the results of a quantitative questionnaire on language attitudes and acoustic analyses of vocalic features in informants' pronunciation, we demonstrate how the Basters' unique identity translates into linguistic practice in a multi-ethnic and multilingual environment. article 2020 0172-8865,1569-9730 10.1075/eww.00046.sch English World-Wide.

However, the application of such tools in usability engineering (UE) for measuring the emotional state of participants is rarely employed. We investigate if the application of sentiment/emotion recognition software is beneficial for gathering objective and intuitive data that can predict usability similar to traditional usability metrics. We present the results of a UE project examining this question for the three modalities text, speech and face. We perform a large scale usability test (N = 125) with a counterbalanced within-subject design with two websites of varying usability. We have identified a weak but significant correlation between text-based sentiment analysis on the text acquired via thinking aloud and SUS scores as well as a weak positive correlation between the proportion of neutrality in users’ voice and SUS scores. However, for the majority of the output of emotion recognition software, we could not find any significant results. Emotion metrics could not be used to successfully differentiate between two websites of varying usability. Regression models, either unimodal or multimodal could not predict usability metrics. We discuss reasons for these results and how to continue research with more sophisticated methods. article 2020 10.1515/icom-2020-0009 i-com 19 De Gruyter Oldenbourg 139-151 2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45624 Thomas Schmidt Miriam Schlindwein Katharina Lichtner Christian Wolff article 2020 1467-8705,0011-1562 10.1111/criq.12553 Critical Quarterly 62 Wiley 54-68 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/44657 Benjamin Kohlmann article 2020 1 Praxis Grundschule Westermann 24-26 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45128 Johannes Wild This study compares the complexity of the noun phrase (NP) in Ghanaian English in a real-time perspective. Based on the Historical Corpus English in Ghana (1966-1975) and the Ghanaian component of the International Corpus of English (mainly 2000s), representing the early and late stages of structural nativisation in the dynamic model, NP complexity is measured using five criteria (NP pattern, complexity of the premodifier, length of the pre- and postmodifier and complexity of the postmodifier). The study uses conditional inference trees, taking into account three potential factors: corpus, text type and syntactic function. The results show that over time the complexity of the NP in Ghanaian English has increased, which is interpreted as Ghanaians becoming more proficient and therefore employing more sophisticated structures. Text type is an important predictor; syntactic function plays only a minor role.

In contrast, this study argues for the antipassive origins of two inverse constructions in Monsang (Trans-Himalayan), which are used for 3.SAP and 2.1 scenarios. This questions central assumptions from previous accounts about the functional motivation underlying inverse systems, and suggests that strategies of avoiding overt reference may be at play. The diachronic pathway proposed here connects the traditional inverse with other special marking patterns that involve speech act participant objects, in particular the "pseudo-inverse" construction of innovative first person object indexation. article 2020 0176-4225,1569-9714 10.1075/dia.18055.kon Diachronica 38 JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING CO

In this article, we determine shortcuts for text-heavy activities, elicit shortcut gestures, implement them for a fully touch-sensitive smartphone, and conduct an evaluation with potential users. We found that experts perform around 800 keyboard shortcuts per day, which are not available on smartphones. Interviews revealed the lack of shortcuts as a major limitation that prevents mobile text editing. Therefore, we elicited gestures for the 22 most important shortcuts for smartphones that are touch-sensitive on the whole device surface. We implemented the gestures for a fully touch-sensitive smartphone using deep learning and evaluated them in realistic scenarios to gather feedback. We show that the developed prototype is perceived as intuitive and faster than recent commercial approaches. article 2020 1073-0516,1557-7325 10.1145/3396233 ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction 27 ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY

In order to extract knowledge from existing software projects, a sort of similarity analysis is often performed using different methodologies, data and metadata. This systematic literature review focuses therefore on existing approaches of similarity-, categorization-and relevance-based analysis on software applications. In total, 136 relevant publications and patents were identified between 2002 and 2019 according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, which perform a calculation of software similarity in general or to support certain software engineering phases.

Prompted by the observation that users tend to use our campus navigation app in unexpected ways, we present a naturalistic study of navigation logs. The data set consists of sensor and interaction data from over 4600 sessions, collected over a span of several months from hundreds of users. In our analysis, we demonstrate how the core concepts from navigation literature, i. e. wayfinding and locomotion, can be observed, but also point out differences to previous studies and assumptions. One of our main findings is that the application is mostly used to plan routes in advance, and not to navigate along them. Furthermore, detailed case-studies of actual navigation sessions provide a unique insight into user behaviour and show that persons are often not focused on their navigation task but engaged otherwise. Based on these results, we formulate design implications that do not only apply to future iterations of our application, but can be seen as best practices for pedestrian navigation apps in general. article 2019 11 06 10.5194/ica-adv-2-8-2019 Advances in Cartography and GIScience of the ICA 2 Copernicus GmbH https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/43993 Robert Jackermeier Bernd Ludwig article 2019 7 TRIOLOG.

The image acquisition process is a crucial step in which noise will inevitably be introduced, and in most cases this noise drastically decreases the accuracy of the classification rate of recognition systems, making them ineffective. This paper presents a novel approach to face recognition or verification, which increases the recognition rate in noisy environmental conditions. The latter is achieved by using the intrinsic face mode functions that result from applying a bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition with Green's functions in tension to noisy images. Each image is individually decomposed, and noisy modes are discarded or filtered during reconstruction. Then, the extracted modes are used for classification purposes with canonical classifiers such as vector support machines or k-nearest neighbor classifiers. Experimental results show that this method achieves very stable results, almost independently of the amount of noise added to the image, due to the ability of decomposition to capture the noise in the first mode. Classification results using noisy images are at the same level as other algorithms proposed for the same databases but working on clean images and therefore are better than those obtained using classic image filters in noisy images. Moreover, unlike most of the available algorithms, the algorithm proposed in this paper is based on the input data (without the need to adjust parameters), making it transparent to the user. Finally, the proposed new approach achieves good results independently of the type of noise, the level of noise and the type of the database, which is not possible with other classical methods requiring parameter adjustment. article 2019 6 20 1432-7643,1433-7479 10.1007/s00500-019-04150-9 Soft Computing 24 Springer

The heuristics presented were developed on the basis of Nielsen [12] Ten Usability Heuristics in a research-based approach using specific literature and a focus group. In order to evaluate the quality of the derived checklist, a heuristic evaluation of a second screen application with five users was carried out and its results compared to a user study with 20 participants. This resulted in an average validity of 0.5 and a high completeness of 0.74. The harmonic mean of these values results in an F-measure of 0.6 with an equal weighting. This value speaks for a sufficient validity of the created heuristic checklist in the first iteration. article 2019 10.1515/icom-2019-0003 i-com : journal of interactive media 18 De Gruyter 55-66 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/51707 Valentin Lohmüller Daniel Schmaderer Christian Wolff article 2019 Deutsch 5-10 Friedrich 28-31 61 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45849 Anita Schilcher Observed influences of system response delay in spoken human-machine dialogues are rather ambiguous and mainly focus on perceived system quality. Studies that systematically inspect effects on cognitive performance are still lacking, and effects of individual characteristics are also often neglected. Building on benefits of cognitive training for decelerating cognitive decline, this Wizard-of-Oz study addresses both issues by testing 62 elderly participants in a dialogue-based memory training with a virtual agent. Participants acquired the method of loci with fading instructional guidance and applied it afterward to memorizing and recalling lists of German nouns. System response delays were randomly assigned, and training performance was included as potential mediator. Participants' age, gender, and subscales of affinity for technology (enthusiasm, competence, positive and negative perception of technology) were inspected as potential moderators. The results indicated positive effects on recall performance with higher training performance, female gender, and less negative perception of technology. Additionally, memory retention and facets of affinity for technology moderated increasing system response delays. Participants also provided higher ratings in perceived system quality with higher enthusiasm for technology but reported increasing frustration with a more positive perception of technology. Potential explanations and implications for the design of spoken dialogue systems are discussed. article 2019 10.1038/s41598-019-44718-x Scientific Reports 9 Nature

In contrast to existing research, the proposed approach takes the game context into account by providing players not only with guidance but also granting them an engaging game experience with a focus on exploration. This is achieved by incorporating gaze-sensitive areas that indicate the location of relevant game objects. A comparative study was carried out to validate our concept and to examine if a game supported with a gaze guidance feature triggers a more immersive game experience in comparison to a crosshair guidance version and a solution without any guidance support. In general, our study findings reveal a more positive impact of the gaze-based guidance approach on the experience and performance in comparison to the other two conditions. However, subjects had a similar impression concerning the game challenge in all conditions. article 2019 10.3390/mti3030061 Multimodal Technologies and Interaction 3 Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI) 61 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/41607 Michael Lankes Andreas Haslinger Christian Wolff article 2019 Deutsch 5 bis 10 3 Friedrich Verlag 32-34 61 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45146 Johannes Wild article 2019 Praxis Grundschule Westermann 6-9 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45837 Anita Schilcher Christina Knott article 2019 Grundschule Westermann 24-26 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45841 Anita Schilcher Johannes Wild Guianese French Creole(1) (GFC) is one of the least studied French Creoles, which is especially true with respect to its non-French-related input. Combining sociohistorical, demographic and linguistic data, this contribution gives a first lexico-etymological account of the GFC lexicon of non-French origin, including Amerindian and Portuguese influences and especially the quantitative and qualitative nature of the contribution made by different Niger-Congo languages. These findings are discussed in light of controversial hypotheses on the particular influence of early numerical and/or socially dominant ethnolinguistic groups on the creole lexicon (i.e. Baker 2012), as well as with regard to word classes and semantic domains to which the different groups contributed. Whereas Gbe and non-Gbe languages clearly diverge with regard to their semantic contribution, the early dominance of presumably Gbe-speaking slaves in French Guiana is not reflected in the numerical proportion of Gbe-related lexical items in GFC, at least on the basis of my still limited data. This study thus tentatively confirms the lesser explanatory power of the lexicon for creole genesis scenarios and points to the fact that sub-or adstrate-related lexical items may have taken very complex etymological routes, which clearly need further study. article 2019 0920-9034,1569-9870 10.1075/jpcl.00027.wie Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages 34 JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING CO

Although there are now many useful 'how-to' resources online (especially videos on YouTube), it can still be difficult to identify, understand, and resolve certain kinds of technical problem. While research tasks have been studied for many years and we know the tactics people use, we know far less about searchers' tactics for how-to technical tasks that involve actually being able to apply found information to resolve a problem. Crucial to our study was developing and studying a highly realistic, how-to technical task, for which there was no single guidance resource: making a phone safe for a child. After providing 39 participants with an actual phone to fix, and a search engine to perform the task, we analysed their search tactics using retrospective cued think aloud interviews. Our primary contribution is a set of 77 tactics used, in three categories, along with detail of how common they were. We conclude that people had a lot of tactics in their repertoire. Although it was not hard for participants to find relevant information, what was hard was for participants to find information they could use; indeed only 23% of participants successfully completed the entire task. Domain knowledge affected the choice of tactics used (although not necessarily towards better task success). We discuss these influences and make design recommendations for how future search systems can support those in resolving how-to technical tasks. article 2019 0306-4573,1873-5371 10.1016/j.ipm.2019.02.008 Information Processing & Management 56 Elsevier

Twidale Purpose Performing tasks in public spaces can be demanding due to task complexity. Systems that can keep track of the current task state may help their users to successfully fulfill a task. These systems, however, require major implementation effort. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if and how a mobile information assistant which has only basic task-tracking capabilities can support users by employing a least effort approach. This means, we are interested in whether such a system is able to have an impact on the way a workflow in public space is perceived. Design/methodology/approach The authors implement and test AIRBOT, a mobile chatbot application that can assist air passengers in successfully boarding a plane. The authors apply a three-tier approach and, first, conduct expert and passenger interviews to understand the workflow and the information needs occurring therein; second, the authors implement a mobile chatbot application providing minimum task-tracking capabilities to support travelers by providing boarding-relevant information in a proactive manner. Finally, the authors evaluate this application by means of an in situ study (n = 101 passengers) at a major European airport. Findings The authors provide evidence that basic task-tracking capabilities are sufficient to affect the users' task perception. AIRBOT is able to decrease the perceived workload airport services impose on users. It has a negative impact on satisfaction with non-personalized information offered by the airport, though. Originality/value The study shows that the number of features is not the most important means to successfully provide assistance in public space workflows. The study can, moreover, serve as a blueprint to design task-based assistants for other contexts. article 2019 2050-3806,1758-3748 10.1108/AJIM-07-2018-0179 Aslib Journal of Information Management EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD

https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40323 Markus Kattenbeck Melanie A. Kilian Matthias Ferstl Bernd Ludwig Florian Alt Purpose It is well known that information behaviour can be biased in countless ways and that users of web search engines have difficulty in assessing the credibility of results. Yet, little is known about how search engine result page (SERP) listings are used to judge credibility and in which if any way such judgements are biased. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Two studies are presented. The first collects data by means of a controlled, web-based user study (N=105). Studying judgements for three controversial topics, the paper examines the extent to which users agree on credibility, the extent to which judgements relate to those applied by objective assessors and to what extent judgements can be predicted by the users' position on and prior knowledge of the topic. A second, qualitative study (N=9) utilises the same setup; however, transcribed think-aloud protocols provide an understanding of the cues participants use to estimate credibility. Findings The first study reveals that users are very uncertain when assessing credibility and their impressions often diverge from objective judges who have fact checked the sources. Little evidence is found indicating that judgements are biased by prior beliefs or knowledge, but differences are observed in the accuracy of judgements across topics. Qualitatively analysing think-aloud transcripts from participants think-aloud reveals ten categories of cues, which participants used to determine the credibility of results. Despite short listings, participants utilised diverse cues for the same listings. Even when the same cues were identified and utilised, different participants often interpreted these differently. Example transcripts show how participants reach varying conclusions, illustrate common mistakes made and highlight problems with existing SERP listings. Originality/value This study offers a novel perspective on how the credibility of SERP listings is interpreted when assessing search results. Especially striking is how the same short snippets provide diverse informational cues and how these cues can be interpreted differently depending on the user and his or her background. This finding is significant in terms of how search engine results should be presented and opens up the new challenge of discovering technological solutions, which allow users to better judge the credibility of information sources on the web. article 2019 2050-3806,1758-3748 10.1108/AJIM-07-2018-0181 Aslib Journal of Information Management 71 EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD

In this work, we extend the vision of sustainable and comfortable adaptive buildings using interactive smart windows. We systematically explore the design space of interactive windows to chart requirements, constraints, and challenges. To that end, we built proof-of-concept prototypes of smart windows with fine-grained control of transparency. In two studies, we explored user attitudes towards interactive windows and elicited control methods. We found that users understand and see potential for interactive windows at home. We provide specific usage contexts and specify interactions that may facilitate domestic applications. Our work illustrates the concept of interactive smart windows and provides insights regarding their design, development, and user controls for adaptive walls. We identify design dimensions and challenges to stimulate further development in the domain of adaptive buildings. article 2019 1073-0516,1557-7325 10.1145/3310275 ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction 26 ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY

Karel enables students to programmatically solve problems, using the C language, in a graphical two-dimensional world by moving the robot around while checking and manipulating its surroundings. We use Karel to solve the dilemma of either demanding too much or not enough from students during the first weeks of an introductory CS course, as interesting problems can be solved with limited input from lectures. Karel enables problem solving from day one of CS1, and encourages good software engineering practices such as top-down design from the beginning. We outline typical problems in the first weeks of CS1. We present a short overview of existing Karel implementations in various programming languages and our rationale for re-implementing Karel. We present our teaching philosophy and use of Karel in the classroom. We demonstrate how Karel is being used from a student perspective, along with a typical programming task.

The relationship between these factors and sexual scripts is, however, poorly understood. Therefore, we assessed how long-term (e.g., "sex in a relationship") and short-term (e.g., "one-night stand") strategies, as well as experience with highly scripted sexual practices (BDSM: bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism-masochism), influence verbalized sexual script composition and detailedness. To this end, 204 heterosexual men and women generated both a "sex in a relationship" and a "one-night stand" script. Regarding mating strategies, both men and women generated shorter "sex in a relationship" scripts than "one-night stand" scripts, due to a shorter approach (flirting) phase. In addition, in the "sex in a relationship" script, women generated longer foreplay phases than men. Regarding sexual experience, in the "sex in a relationship" script, individuals with high-BDSM experience generated longer foreplay phases than individuals with middle- or low-BDSM experience. This pattern was reversed in the "one-night stand" script. These results provide empirical support for interactions between mating strategies and individual experience with regard to the mental representations of sexual activity and gender behavior. Understanding this relationship may enable us to better predict sexual encounters and may help to prevent conflicting or abusive situations. article 2018 0004-0002,1573-2800 10.1007/s10508-017-1088-0 Archives of Sexual Behavior 47 SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS

Passoth Matthias Uhl Raphael Wimmer There is an assumption in current landscape preference theory of universal consensus in human preferences for moderate to high openness in a natural landscape. This premise is largely based on empirical studies of urban Western populations. Here we examine for the first time landscape preference across a number of geographically, ecologically and culturally diverse indigenous populations. Included in the study were two urban Western samples of university students (from southern Sweden) and five non-Western, indigenous and primarily rural communities: Jahai (Malay Peninsula), Lokono (Suriname), Makalero (Timor), Makasae (Timor), and Wayuu (Colombia). Preference judgements were obtained using pairwise forced choice assessments of digital visualizations of a natural landscape varied systematically on three different levels of topography and vegetation density. The results show differences between the Western and non-Western samples, with interaction effects between topography and vegetation being present for the two Swedish student samples but not for the other five samples. The theoretical claim of human preferences for half-open landscapes was only significantly confirmed for the student sample comprising landscape architects. The five non Western indigenous groups all preferred the highest level of vegetation density. Results show there are internal similarities between the two Western samples on the one hand, and between the five non-Western samples on the other. To some extent this supports the idea of consensus in preference, not universally but within those categories respectively. article 2018 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00822 Frontiers in Psychology 9 Frontiers

However, the accumulation of errors creates a need for external error correction. In this work, we explore the limits of PDR under realistic conditions using our graph-based system as an example. For this purpose, we collect sensor data while the user performs an actual navigation task using a navigation application on a smartphone. To assess the localisation performance, we introduce a task-oriented metric based on the idea of landmark navigation: instead of specifying the error metrically, we measure the ability to determine the correct segment of an indoor route, which in turn enables the navigation system to give correct instructions. We conduct offline simulations with the collected data in order to identify situations where position tracking fails and explore different options how to mitigate the issues, e.g. through detection of special features along the user’s path or through additional sensors. Our results show that the magnetic compass is often unreliable under realistic conditions and that resetting the position at strategically chosen decision points significantly improves positioning accuracy. article 2018 748-9733,1748-9725 10.1080/17489725.2018.1541330 Journal of Location Based Services 12 Taylor & Francis 231-272 3-4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40057 Robert Jackermeier Bernd Ludwig article 2018 Grundschulunterricht Deutsch Cornelsen Verlag 23-34 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45140 Johannes Wild Differential locative marking is found in languages all over the world. Toponyms, in particular, are well known to often require less locative marking than other types of nouns, and it has been suggested that they express 'where' concepts. This paper presents a case study of differential locative marking in Makalero, a Papuan language of East Timor, where nouns fall into three categories: those which need no overt locative marking, i.e., can be zero-marked; those which are used with a semantically general locative verb; and those which can only be used with semantically specific locative verbs. Zero-marking of spatial relations occurs only in a specific construction where the nouns in question are used predicatively, suggesting that the syntactic equivalent of the 'where' category is a relational expression, not a noun. There is furthermore a certain degree of flexibility in Makalero locative constructions, and alternative expressions result in predictable semantic differences. These differences show that the lack of perceptual boundaries and of an internal structure are important parameters that distinguish the referents of so-called natural location nouns from nouns which denote 'what' concepts. More comparative case studies are needed to enrich our understanding of these notions and the properties characterizing them. article 2018 0024-3949,1613-396X 10.1515/ling-2018-0003 Linguistics 56 DE GRUYTER MOUTON

Avoiding the cost of individual exploration, social learning confers substantial fitness benefits under a wide variety of environmental conditions, especially when the process is governed by biases toward relative superiority (e.g., experts, the majority). Here, we examine the development of social information use in children aged 4-14 years (n = 605) across seven societies in a standardised social learning task. We measured two key aspects of social information use: general reliance on social information and majority preference. We show that the extent to which children rely on social information depends on children's cultural background. The extent of children's majority preference also varies cross-culturally, but in contrast to social information use, the ontogeny of majority preference follows a U-shaped trajectory across all societies. Our results demonstrate both cultural continuity and diversity in the realm of human social learning. article 2018 10.1038/s41467-018-04468-2 Nature Communications 9 Nature

Haun In this paper we present an empirical study among 40 participants which investigates the relationship between various factors of user interface aesthetics on the one hand, and the influence of the user interface attributes, symmetry, colorfulness as well as visual complexity on user interface aesthetics on the other hand. The user interface aesthetics will be classified in intuitive aesthetics (1st impression with a presentation time of 500 ms) and reflective aesthetics (reflective long-term impression after a longer presentation). Reflective aesthetics is further classified in classical aesthetics (common attractiveness) as well as expressive aesthetics (creativity). For this study we have set up a corpus of 30 websites which are used as stimulus material. In a multi-step lab experiment, participants rate aesthetics and their subjective impression concerning user interface attributes using questionnaires. We are able to show that the intuitive aesthetic judgment correlates strongly with the reflective judgment. The symmetry of a website positively correlates with all definitions of aesthetics, especially with the classical or traditional interpretation in the sense of attractiveness. Visual complexity can be seen as the strongest predictor for the aesthetic judgement of users and it negatively correlates with all definitions. Concerning colorfulness, a preference for websites of a medium degree of colorfulness for the intuitive as well as the classical aesthetics can be stated. Concerning expressive aesthetics, websites of moderate to high colorfulness receive the best judgments. The relationships which we have found are finally discussed in the context of previous research and some implications for future user interface design are given. article 2018 2196-6826,1618-162X 10.1515/icom-2018-0003 i-com 17 De Gruyter 41-55 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/43558 Thomas Schmidt Christian Wolff Nach einem geschichtlichen Exkurs und einem Überblick zu den möglichen Anwendungsbereichen von Rechtsvisualisierungen stellen wir eine Studie zur Nutzung von Visualisierungen in der richterlichen Praxis vor, an der annähernd 10% aller Schweizer Richterinnen und Richter teilgenommen haben.

We argue that this process could be supported and hastened using data collected via online social networks. In this work we investigate the relationships between the online traces left behind by users of a large US online food community and the prevalence of obesity in 47 states and 311 counties in the US. Using data associated with the recipes bookmarked over an 9-year period by 144,839 users of the Allrecipes. com food website residing throughout the US, several hierarchical regression models are created to (i) shed light on these relations and (ii) establish their magnitude. The results of our analysis provide strong evidence that bookmarking activities on recipes in online food communities can provide a signal allowing food and health related issues, such as obesity to be better understood and monitored. We discover that higher fat and sugar content in bookmarked recipes is associated with higher rates of obesity. The dataset is complicated, but strong temporal and geographical trends are identifiable. We show the importance of accounting for these trends in the modeling process. article 2017 6 21 10.1371/journal.pone.0179144 PLoS ONE 12 PLOS

The healthiness of home cooking will, nevertheless, depend on what people cook and how they cook it. In this article, one common source of cooking inspiration-Internet-sourced recipes-is investigated in depth. The energy and macronutrient content of 5,237 main meal recipes from the food website Allrecipes. com are compared with those of 100 main meal recipes from five bestselling cookery books from popular celebrity chefs and 100 ready meals from the three leading UK supermarkets. The comparison is made using nutritional guidelines published by the World Health Organization and the UK Food Standards Agency. The main conclusions drawn from our analyses are that Internet recipes sourced from Allrecipes. com are less healthy than TV chef recipes and ready meals from leading UK supermarkets. Only 6 out of 5,237 Internet recipes fully complied with the WHO recommendations. Internet recipes were more likely to meet the WHO guidelines for protein than other classes of meal (10.88 v 7% (TV), p < 0.01; 10.86 v 9% (ready), p < 0.01). However, the Internet recipes were less likely to meet the criteria for fat (14.28 v 24 (TV) v 37% (ready); p < 0.01), saturated fat (25.05 v 33 (TV) v 34% (ready); p < 0.01), and fiber (compared to ready meals 16.50 v 56%; p < 0.01). More Internet recipes met the criteria for sodium density than ready meals (19.63 v 4%; p < 0.01), but fewer than the TV chef meals (19.32 v 36%; p < 0.01). For sugar, no differences between Internet recipes and TV chef recipes were observed (81.1 v 81% (TV); p = 0.86), although Internet recipes were less likely to meet the sugar criteria than ready meals (81.1 v 83% (ready); p < 0.01).

In particular, very reduced and abstract interfaces only showing route segments and landmarks are compared to depictions additionally showing floor plans. For this purpose, not only the time it took the participants to fulfill the task, but also eye-tracking data were analyzed. The first experiment (N=81) was carried out with a smartphone. In the second study (N=69), a device with a bigger screen was used so that gazes on different screen elements could be analyzed. Results show that the participants reach their destination faster with the abstract interface and, moreover, spend less visual attention on this interface. article 2017 1387-5868,1542-7633 10.1080/13875868.2016.1219913 Spatial Cognition & Computation 17 TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC

These differences can be found in a number of unrelated languages, though the majority of languages appear to not distinguish between proper and common nouns. However, this generalization has to be taken with a grain of salt, since the paper illustrates that differences between the two types of nouns can be very subtle and can thus be easily overlooked or left untreated in written grammars. Differences are either manifested in the overall absence of marking of a category on one type of nominal, or in distinct forms and/or conditions for the encoding. article 2017 0165-4004,1614-7308 10.1515/flin-2017-0017 Folia Linguistica 51 WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH

Event-Related Modes (ERMs) represent features extracted by an EEMD from electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. We present a new approach for source localization of EEG data based on combining ERMs with inverse models. As the first step, 64 channel EEG recordings are pooled according to six brain areas and decomposed, by applying an EEMD, into their underlying ERMs. Then, based upon the problem at hand, the most closely related ERM, in terms of frequency and amplitude, is combined with inverse modeling techniques for source localization. More specifically, the standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) procedure is employed in this work. Accuracy and robustness of the results indicate that this approach deems highly promising in source localization techniques for EEG data. article 2016 12 09 10.1371/journal.pone.0167957 PLoS ONE 11 PLOS

Lang Several studies show that pedestrians do not simply take the shortest route to their destination. In this paper, we address the question, which other factors influence their route decisions. We present a landmark based pedestrian navigation system that guides users through indoor and outdoor areas and forms the foundation of our research regarding route preferences. To investigate the issue which basic preferences exist, a qualitative pre-study was conducted (N=21). In the main study we examined if routes chosen by participants in realistic scenarios deviate from the shortest possible route. With this, we explored if preferences, found in the pre-study, really influence the selection of routes (N=121). In the pre-study most participants stated that they want to take the shortest route. In addition to that, it was frequently mentioned that entities along the route, like escalators, elevators, crowded areas, or unsafe areas should be preferred or avoided. The main study revealed that the participants, which were all familiar with the surroundings, take detours in indoor parts compared to the shortest route. Moreover, the participants avoided elevators and routes that lead through cafeterias and lecture halls. article 2016 11 29 1610-1987,0933-1875 10.1007/s13218-016-0472-6 Künstliche Intelligenz 31 Springer 125-134 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/41670 Manuel Müller Christina Ohm Florin Schwappach Bernd Ludwig article 2016 11 Praxis Grundschule Westermann 36-43 6 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/45114 Johannes Wild article 2016 3 1569-9056,1878-1500 10.1016/S1569-9056(16)60361-5 European Urology Supplements 15 Elsevier e359 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/51845 Johannes Breyer C.

These variables included dwell time, number of retrieved web pages and reading time proportion. This approach extends previous research that primarily used surveys as the data collection method. Two levels of experiencing aesthetics were integrated into the research set-up: the first measures the reflective aesthetic appreciation and the second captures the immediate affective visual impression, the latter being operationalised through an affective priming experiment. Seventy participants took part in the main experiment and explored 10 real stimulus websites. Results showed that participants stayed significantly longer, retrieved more web pages and spent more time reading on websites that they preferred in their aesthetic impression. Aesthetics on the web are thus revealed to be of behavioural relevance. Effect sizes indicate only small to medium effects though. No statement is possible concerning the respective share of the two levels of aesthetic processing in this effect, because the study did not successfully delineate the effectiveness of affective and reflective aesthetic experiences in the course of exploration. article 2016 0144-929X,1362-3001 10.1080/0144929X.2015.1070202 Behaviour & Information Technology 35 Taylor & Francis

4-20 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/41997 Rita Strebe We present a new method for decomposing two-dimensional data arrays with empirical mode decomposition (EMD). It performs envelope surface interpolation based on Green's functions in tension (GiT) to extract bi-dimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs). The new method is called GiT-BEMD and outperforms existing bi-dimensional ensemble EMD (BEEMD) variants in terms of computational costs and quality of extracted intrinsic modes. More specifically, it is easy to implement, much faster than BEEMD, very robust and free from processing artifacts. GiT-BEMD is applied to fMRI data recorded during a contour integration task. Features extracted from resulting volume intrinsic mode functions (VIMFs) achieve higher classification accuracy compared to the canonical BEEMD. The new method thus provides a valuable alternative to existing mode decomposition methods for analyzing images. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

One of its manifestations, one that has proliferated substantially to what was customary just a few decades ago, is global travel, in various forms and for various purposes - and one of the most important ones of these purposes is tourism. The opportunity and the infrastructure to travel to interesting places pretty much anywhere fairly easily and at affordable prices has been bringing people to all corners of the world. Admittedly, the word affordable' in this sentence refers predominantly to people from developed, industrialized, wealthy countries, so socially this is a skewed and selective process. But the fact as such remains, and it has important ramifications for and adds new facets to the forms and functions of global English. article 2016 0266-0784,1474-0567 10.1017/S0266078416000183 English Today 32 CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS

SCHNEIDER One of the most striking findings when comparing the ecologies of world Englishes is the amount of language mixing and the number of truly mixed (hybrid) varieties involving Englishes. The formula X [language name] + English has produced blends in many different countries, like Taglish, Singlish, Hinglish, Chinglish, Japlish, Denglisch, Finglish, etc. Others include mix-mix' in Hong Kong, Sheng in Kenya, or Camfranglais in Cameroon, or lack a commonly accepted designation (in Malaysia, Pakistan, South Africa, and so on). This article offers a systematic but exploratory survey of varieties, linguistic practices and contexts which tend to be viewed in isolation but show similarities in some of their properties and sociolinguistic settings. article 2016 0883-2919,1467-971X 10.1111/weng.12204 World Englishes 35 Wiley

Wie kann man dieses Wissen beschreiben und einer Messung zugänglich machen? Fragen wie diese beschäftigen die empirische Bildungsforschung schon seit langem. In der breit rezipierten COACTIVStudie wurden die professionellen Kompetenzen von Mathematiklehrkräften im Verbund mit der PISA-Studie operationalisiert und empirisch untersucht. Daran anknüpfend gründete sich an der Universität Regensburg die Forschungsgruppe FALKO, in der sechs verschiedene Fachdidaktiken (Deutsch, Englisch, evangelische Religionslehre, Latein, Musik, NWT) zusammen mit der Pädagogik ebenfalls psychometrische Tests zum Fachwissen und zu fachdidaktischen Kompetenzen in der jeweiligen Disziplin konstruierten und empirisch validierten. Dabei konnten wichtige Ergebnisse der COACTIV-Studie zur Struktur des Professionswissens und zu Schulformunterschieden auch für die anderen Unterrichtsfächer bestätigt werden. Im Zuge des vom BMBF geförderten KOLEG-Projekts konnte diese Forschungsgruppe noch einmal erweitert werden: Im Projekt FALKE untersuchen derzeit insgesamt 30 Wissenschaftler/innen aus 13 Disziplinen die Lehrerkompetenz des „guten Erklärens“ – eine Subfacette des fachdidaktischen Wissens – theoretisch und empirisch. Im vorliegenden Beitrag soll dieser mittlerweile über zehnjährige Forschungsstrang nachgezeichnet werden. article 2016 2625-2015,0942-928X 10.5283/bidw.v25i33/34.72 Blick in die Wissenschaft 25 Univ.-Verl. 85-92 33/34 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/46120 Stefan Krauss Anita Schilcher The news industry has gone through seismic shifts in the past decade with digital content and social media completely redefining how people consume news. Readers check for accurate fresh news from multiple sources throughout the day using dedicated apps or social media on their smartphones and tablets. At the same time, news publishers rely more and more on social networks and citizen journalism as a frontline to breaking news. In this new era of fastflowing instant news delivery and consumption, publishers and aggregators have to overcomea great number of challenges. These include the verification or assessment of a source's reliability; the integration of news with other sources of information; real-time processing of both news content and social streams in multiple languages, in different formats and in high volumes; deduplication; entity detection and disambiguation; automatic summarization; and news recommendation. Although Information Retrieval (IR) applied to news has been a popular research area for decades, fresh approaches are needed due to the changing type and volume of media content available and the way people consume this content. Hence, the first international workshop on recent trends in News Information Retrieval (NewsIR) was held in conjunction with ECIR 2016. As part of the workshop, we released a new dataset consisting of one million news articles to the research community. The workshop was very well attended with around 70 registered participants. We received a healthy number of 19 submissions in total of which 12 were accepted for presentation. In addition to that, we were pleased to have two keynote talks by well-known experts in the field - on with an industry background (Jochen Leidner) and one from academia (Julio Gonzalo). The workshop also included a breakout session to discuss ideas for a future data challenge in news IR and closed with a focused panel discussion to reflect on the day. Throughout the day the workshop stimulated discussions around new and powerful uses of IR applied to news sources and the intersection of multiple IR tasks to solve real user problems. In particular, several ideas were presented on solving complex information needs for media monitoring, event detection and summarisation. Moreover, and going forward, the workshop concluded with a long list of suggestions for shared tasks, and dataset requirements. article 2016 1558-0229,0163-5840 10.1145/2964797.2964807 ACM SIGIR Forum 50 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 58-67 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40306 M. Martinez Udo Kruschwitz G. Kazai F. Hopfgartner D. Corney R. Campos D. Albakour The categories 'ESL' and 'EFL' should not be seen as discrete as traditionally assumed but as located on a continuum. Since the traditional categorization as either foreign or second-language English strongly depends on the historical and sociopolitical development of a territory, with postcolonial speech communities normally ascribed ESL status and non-postcolonial speech communities being treated as EFL, recent research has made first attempts for an integrative analysis of such Englishes. Based on the framework of Schneider's Dynamic Model, the paper at hand introduces the model of Extra-and Intra-territorial Forces (EIF model) to meet the aim of a joint approach to those Englishes which have so far mostly been treated independently of each other. Its practical application is demonstrated in reference to the development of English in Namibia. article 2016 0883-2919,1467-971X 10.1111/weng.12203 World Englishes 36 Wiley

It highlights Milton's engagement with two specific cultural and epistemological contexts: firstly, the Baconian new science and epistemology, and secondly, the Battle of the Sexes', a seventeenth-century pamphlet war whose female participants defended women as virtuous and demanded female education. The author argues that, despite the poet's denigration of Eve's fallen feminism in Paradise Lost, there are important philosophical alignments between Milton's Baconianism and the philosophy of education as proposed by the female pamphleteers of the querelle des femmes'. article 2015 1382-5577,1744-4233 10.1080/13825577.2015.1039282 European Journal of English Studies 19 ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

Generally, responses to different stimuli are very similar thus hard to differentiate. EMD and ICA are used intermingled and not simply in a sequential way. This novel combination helps to suppress redundant modes resulting from an application of ensemble EMD alone. The simulation results show an improved mode separation quality. Hence, the proposed method is an efficient data analysis tool to clearly reveal differences between similar response signals and activity distributions. article 2015 The Annals of the BMVA (The British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition) 2015 Innovative Computing Group School of Engineering and Computing Sciences Durham University, UK 1-15 2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/34670 Saad Al-Baddai Karema Al-Subari A. M. Tomé Gregor Volberg Elmar Lang Personal pronouns as referential means have been investigated in general and comparative linguistics mostly with regard to their normal, prototypical use, which usually confirms to the essential combinations of person and number features, This paper deals with a much less investigated topic in the realm of pronouns, the non-prototypical uses of personal pronouns. Non-prototypical uses of personal pronouns are discourse uses, in which the reference (set) of the pronoun deviates from its prototypical one. For instance, a first person plural pronoun can be used to refer to a second person singular in doctor patient dialogs. Or, a second person singular pronoun can be used impersonally in many languages. Non-prototypical uses of personal pronouns are restricted to certain communicative situations and usually have some additional pragmatic effects. In the first part of the paper, a synchronic typology of the non-prototypical uses of personal pronouns is presented together with a short characterization of the communicative motivations and effects. Examples from a variety of mostly European languages will illustrate these uses. The second part of the paper examines the question whether these non-prototypical uses have an effect on the diachrony of personal pronouns. It will be argued that this is indeed the case and that these effects cannot be subsumed under the heading of grammaticalization. It will be hypothesized that personal pronouns may acquire new person/number values historically only, if these new category values are semantically either more individuated (plural > singular) or higher on the person hierarchy (3 > 2 > 1), or both.

Als Grundlage dienen empirische Daten von Studien über das Verhalten von Programmierern, die besagen, dass Suchen und Finden häufig ausgeübte Tätigkeiten sind. Ausgehend davon wird gezeigt, dass sich zwischen Re-Finding-Verhalten, wie es in der Vergangenheit für verschiedene andere Bereiche untersucht wurde, und dem Wiederfinden von Quellcode Parallelen ziehen lassen: Bekannte Strategien wie Orienteering und Teleporting haben Entsprechungen beim Navigieren durch eine Codebasis. Schließlich werden offene Fragen angesprochen und Vorschläge gemacht, wie dieses Verhalten in zukünftigen Experimenten genauer untersucht werden kann. In this work, theories and findings about information re-finding in PIM are applied to the re-finding of programming code, in particular single snippets of code. Empirical data from studies about the behaviour of programmers indicate that searching and finding are frequently performed activities. Based on this, it is shown that parallels can be drawn between re-finding behaviour as studied in the past for various other areas and re-finding of source code: For known strategies like orienteering and teleporting there exist equivalents when navigating a code base. Finally, open questions are addressed and proposals are made how to further investigate this behaviour in future experiments. article 2015 1619-4292 (online),1434-4653 (print) 10.1515/iwp-2015-0014 Information - Wissenschaft & Praxis 66 De Gruyter Saur 29-36 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/34766 Robert Jackermeier Supervised methods can achieve high performance on NLP tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition (NER), but new annotations are required for every new domain and/or genre change. This has motivated research in minimally supervised methods such as semi-supervised learning and distant learning, but neither technique has yet achieved performance levels comparable to those of supervised methods. Semi-supervised methods tend to have very high precision but comparatively low recall, whereas distant learning tends to achieve higher recall but lower precision. This complementarity suggests that better results may be obtained by combining the two types of minimally supervised methods. In this paper we present a novel approach to Arabic NER using a combination of semi-supervised and distant learning techniques. We trained a semi-supervised NER classifier and another one using distant learning techniques, and then combined them using a variety of classifier combination schemes, including the Bayesian Classifier Combination (BCC) procedure recently proposed for sentiment analysis. According to our results, the BCC model leads to an increase in performance of 8 percentage points over the best base classifiers. article 2015 Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics TACL 3 Association for Computational Linguistics 243-256 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40345 M. Althobaiti Udo Kruschwitz Massimo Poesio Language resources are important for those working on computational methods to analyse and study languages. These resources are needed to help advancing the research in fields such as natural language processing, machine learning, information retrieval and text analysis in general. We describe the creation of useful resources for languages that currently lack them, taking resources for Arabic summarisation as a case study. We illustrate three different paradigms for creating language resources, namely: (1) using crowdsourcing to produce a small resource rapidly and relatively cheaply; (2) translating an existing gold-standard dataset, which is relatively easy but potentially of lower quality; and (3) using manual effort with appropriately skilled human participants to create a resource that is more expensive but of high quality. The last of these was used as a test collection for TAC-2011. An evaluation of the resources is also presented. article 2015 1574-0218,1574-020X 10.1007/s10579-014-9274-3 Language Resources and Evaluation 49 Springer Netherlands 549-580 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40336 M.

Furthermore, it is shown that landmarks can be easily derived from this model. The landmark selection is based on three user studies that show that "functional" landmarks like doors and stairs are suitable for navigation. The main study was conducted with 64 participants to evaluate different depictions of the user's surroundings including landmarks. For this purpose an abstract graph-like navigation prototype that uses the data of the modeling toolkit was compared to a depiction additionally showing a mobile map. Results indicate that especially users with a good sense of direction perform significantly better with the graph-like interface in terms of task completion time. article 2015 1876-1364,1876-1372 10.3233/AIS-150335 Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments 7 IOS PRESS

The workshop program included two invited keynote presentations, seven oral presentations of refereed papers, lots of mini discussion sessions and a fishbowl session. The presentations covered diverse topics from playing around with an eye tracker to a game with IR papers and even a game of scientific hangman, generating lively and fun discussions. The workshop was a crowdpinion experiment itself, gathering participants’ momentary opinions via an Android app. One of the main themes of the day was the interplay of gamification aspects and incentives, where the key challenge is to align player motivations with the goal of the task. Any misalignment may lead to gamification as a tool being more damaging than useful with users’ focus shifting from the task to gaming the system. article 2015 1558-0229,0163-5840 ACM SIGIR Forum 49 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 41-49 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40307 G.

Recently there is growing interest in applying EMD in the biomedical field. New method: EMDLAB is an extensible plug-in for the EEGLAB toolbox, which is an open software environment for electrophysiological data analysis. Results: EMDLAB can be used to perform, easily and effectively, four common types of EMD: plain EMD, ensemble EMD (EEMD), weighted sliding EMD (wSEMD) and multivariate EMD (MEMD) on EEG data. In addition, EMDLAB is a user-friendly toolbox and closely implemented in the EEGLAB toolbox. Comparison with existing methods: EMDLAB gains an advantage over other open-source toolboxes by exploiting the advantageous visualization capabilities of EEGLAB for extracted intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and Event-Related Modes (ERMs) of the signal. Conclusions: EMDLAB is a reliable, efficient, and automated solution for extracting and visualizing the extracted IMFs and ERMs by EMD algorithms in EEG study. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Tomé Markus Goldhacker Rupert Faltermeier Elmar Lang Micro-blogging services such as Twitter represent constantly evolving, user-generated sources of information. Previous studies show that users search such content regularly but are often dissatisfied with current search facilities. We argue that an enhanced understanding of the motivations for search would aid the design of improved search systems, better reflecting what people need. Building on previous research, we present qualitative analyses of two sources of data regarding how and why people search Twitter. The first, a diary study (p=68), provides descriptions of Twitter information needs (n=117) and important meta-data from active study participants. The second data set was established by collecting first-person descriptions of search behavior (n=388) tweeted by twitter users themselves (p=381) and complements the first data set by providing similar descriptions from a more plentiful source. The results of our analyses reveal numerous characteristics of Twitter search that differentiate it from more commonly studied search domains, such as web search. The findings also shed light on some of the difficulties users encounter. By highlighting examples that go beyond those previously published, this article adds to the understanding of how and why people search such content. Based on these new insights, we conclude with a discussion of possible design implications for search systems that index micro-blogging content. article 2015 2330-1635,2330-1643 10.1002/asi.23182 Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) 66 WILEY

However, intra-query term dependencies (i.e., the dependencies between different query terms and term combinations) have not yet been sufficiently addressed in the existing approaches. This article aims to investigate this issue within a comprehensive framework, namely the Aspect Query Language Model (AM). We propose to extend the AM with a hidden Markov model (HMM) structure to incorporate the intra-query term dependencies and learn the structure of a novel aspect HMM (AHMM) for query language modeling. In the proposed AHMM, the combinations of query terms are viewed as latent variables representing query aspects. They further form an ergodic HMM, where the dependencies between latent variables (nodes) are modeled as the transitional probabilities. The segmented chunks from the feedback documents are considered as observables of the HMM. Then the AHMM structure is optimized by the HMM, which can estimate the prior of the latent variables and the probability distribution of the observed chunks. Our extensive experiments on three large-scale text retrieval conference (TREC) collections have shown that our method not only significantly outperforms a number of strong baselines in terms of both effectiveness and robustness but also achieves better results than the AM and another state-of-the-art approach, namely the latent concept expansion model. article 2015 1467-8640,0824-7935 10.1111/coin.12058 Computational Intelligence 31 Wiley 699-720 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40310 D.

In this paper, we present Mobile-Sandbox, a system designed to automatically analyze Android applications in novel ways: First, it combines static and dynamic analysis, i.e., results of static analysis are used to guide dynamic analysis and extend coverage of executed code. Additionally, it uses specific techniques to log calls to native (i.e., "non-Java") APIs, and last but not least it combines these results with machine-learning techniques to cluster the analyzed samples into benign and malicious ones. We evaluated the system on more than 69,000 applications from Asian third-party mobile markets and found that about 21 % of them actually use native calls in their code. article 2015 1615-5262,1615-5270 10.1007/s10207-014-0250-0 International Journal of Information Security 14 SPRINGER

Contextual information comes in a variety of types, often derived from records of past interactions between a user and the information system. It can be individual or group based. We are focusing on the latter, harnessing the search behaviour of cohorts of users, turning it into a domain model that can then be used to assist other users of the same cohort. More specifically, we aim to explore how such a domain model is best utilised for profile-biased summarisation of documents in a navigation scenario in which such summaries can be displayed as hover text as a user moves the mouse over a link. The main motivation is to help a user find relevant documentsmore quickly. Given the fact that the Web in general has been studied extensively already, we focus our attention on Web sites and similar document collections. Such collections can be notoriously difficult to search or explore. The process of acquiring the domain model is not a research interest here; we simply adopt a biologically inspired method that resembles the idea of ant colony optimisation. This has been shown to work well in a variety of application areas. The model can be built in a continuous learning cycle that exploits search patterns as recorded in typical query log files. Our research explores different summarisation techniques, some of which use the domain model and some that do not. We perform taskbased evaluations of these different techniques-thus of the impact of the domain model and profile-biased summarisation-in the context of Web site navigation. article 2015 1558-2868,1046-8188 10.1145/2699661 ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) 33 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 1-39 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40338 A.

In this article I give an overview of related work on Twitter as an object of study. I also describe the anatomy of a Twitter message and discuss typical uses of the Twitter platform. The Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) will be introduced in a generic, non-technical way to provide a basic under-standing of existing opportunities but also limitations when working with Twitter data. I propose a basic classification system for existing tools that can be used for collecting and analyzing Twitter data and introduce some exemplary tools for each category. Then, I present a more comprehensive work-flow for conducting studies with Twitter data, which comprises the following steps: crawling, annotation, analysis and visualization. Finally, I illustrate the generic workflow by describing an exemplary study from the context of social TV research. At the end of the article, the main issues concerning tools and methods for the analysis of Twitter data are briefly addressed. article 2015 10plus1: Living Linguistics Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/35669 Manuel Burghardt It is an open question, whether differently developed orientation skills require alternate pedestrian navigation interface designs for optimal self-localization during wayfinding. To address this issueweconducted two user studies in order to analyze different presentations of mobile maps. Evaluations were conducted in an outdoor (N = 112) and indoor (N = 64) environment. We recorded the time it took participants to localize themselves with the help of salient objects. Significant results were found for both studies. Abstract interfaces support well-oriented users, whereas worse oriented ones profited from standard designs. Consequently, we make the case for user-adaptive pedestrian navigation interfaces.

Moreover, the daily press transmits opinion-forming contents. During the German "transplantation scandal" various articles were published in the German press focusing on organ donation, transplantation, allocation of organs and brain death determination. Selected important newspaper articles were analyzed using a scientific text analysis as it was assumed that the publications might have had an important influence on attitudes or mistrust of transplantation medicine. A total of 216 articles from Suddeutsche Zeitung, Die Welt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Zeit published between summer 2012 and early 2013, which focused on the transplantation scandal were analyzed using a modern form of scientific text analysis. From these articles 12 categories of contents were identified which were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Most articles were published between June and August 2012 when the accusations of organ allocation manipulation were made public. A second wave was found in the early months of 2013, when the court proceedings against the predominantly blamed physician began. Most of the categories (63.8 %) transmitted a negative evaluative opinion (i.e. loss of confidence, enrichment of the persons involved, fraud, misconduct, rejection of brain death and disturbing the peace of the dead) leading to mistrust of transplantation per se, while the minority (36.2 %) were categorized as endeavoring to convey objective information, focus on ethical responsibility for organ donation or the problems of organ shortage. Furthermore, a striking increase of articles doubting the concept of brain death was observed. German newspapers as important opinion-leading and opinion-forming media have a substantial impact in accomplishing the demands for objective and factual information of transplantation medicine. Physicians, ethicists, journalists and politicians are invoked to have a closer collaboration in the future. article 2015 0003-2417,1432-055X 10.1007/s00101-014-2406-8 Der Anaesthesist 64 SPRINGER

Brekle Das erste in Regensburg gedruckte Blockbuch (ca. 1470) Der emeritierte Professor Dr. Herbert E. Brekle entdeckte vor kurzem in der British Library (London) ein in Regensburg gedrucktes Blockbuch marianischen Inhalts (Salve Regina). In dieser Bibliothek wird das weltweit nur in einem Exemplar existierende Werk aus dem Jahre 1465(?) einem gewissen Lienhart Holle zugeschrieben. Brekle – ein gelernter Schriftsetzer – machte sich daran, Näheres über dieses Buch herauszufinden. Unterstützt vom Stadtarchiv, dem Fürstlichen Archiv und der Staatlichen Bibliothek konnte er sowohl Bildmaterial als auch Informationen aktuarischer und bibliographischer Art dingfest machen. In einem längeren Aufsatz beschreibt Brekle detailliert die Herstellungstechnik von Blockbüchern. Er weist nach, daß ein Lienhart Holle in Regensburg nie als Blockbuchdrucker gearbeitet hat, sondern daß Lienhart Wolff, der seit 1463 das Regensburger Bürgerrecht besaß, das Blockbuch 1470 hergestellt hat. Brekle klärt auch die Provenienzgeschichte des Werks auf. Schließlich analysiert er jede der 16 überlieferten Seiten (inklusive zweier Fehldrucke) nach drucktechnischen, schrift- und textphilologischen Kriterien. Jede Seite enthält einen Text und eine dazugehörige Abbildung aus dem Umkreis der Marienverehrung im 15. Jahrhundert. Die wenigen bisher vorliegenden Publikationen beschränken sich ganz überwiegend auf kunsthistorische Beschreibungen der Abbildungen. Brekles Aufsatz hat das Verdienst, erstmalig eine auf der Basis von Farblithographien, Farb- und Schwarzweißfotos komplett bebilderte Darstellung des Blockbuchs Salve Regina geliefert zu haben. Dazu kommen ganz wesentlich seine neuen drucktechnisch und philologisch detaillierten Analysen jeder einzelnen Seite dieses für Regensburgs Kulturgeschichte wichtigen Werkes. article 2014 9 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/30834 Herbert E.

This paper explores the potential of two-dimensional ensemble empirical mode decomposition (2DEEMD) to extract such textures, so-called bidimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs), of functional biomedical images, especially functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) taken while performing a contour integration task. To identify most informative textures, i.e. BIMFs, a support vector machine (SVM) as well as a random forest (RF) classifier is trained for two different stimulus/response conditions. Classification performance is used to estimate the discriminative power of extracted BIMFs. The latter are then analyzed according to their spatial distribution of brain activations related with contour integration. Results distinctly show the participation of frontal brain areas in contour integration. Employing features generated from textures represented by BIMFs exhibit superior classification performance when compared with a canonical general linear model (GLM) analysis employing statistical parametric mapping (SPM).

Often the user needs support in being guided to a retrieved location in a physical space. This means that mobile search is strongly connected with navigation. There is a large body of work indicating that navigating towards points of interest is challenging for many people. In this work we explore how to support best this part of the task by investigating how objects in the physical world—landmarks—can be used in information systems to guide people to their desired location. We present the results of a series of eye tracking studies on the orientation behavior of persons executing indoor navigation tasks. The main finding of the studies is that the contextual relevance and the function of a landmark for completing the task efficiently matters more than the context-free salience of the same landmark. The findings have implications for the design of mobile search systems that support geographical search tasks as they lead to new context-adaptive strategies for navigation systems to explain routes. We provide evidence that even the interface has to adapt its content on the state of the navigation task and the current spatial context in order to provide user- and context-adaptive intuitive interaction. article 2014 1610-1987 (online),0933-1875 (print) 10.1007/s13218-014-0333-0 KI - Künstliche Intelligenz 28 Springer 271-281 4 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/31447 Bernd Ludwig Manuel Müller Christina Ohm Even though Namibia was never under direct British rule, it has been a country with English as the de jure official language since 1990, the year of independence from South Africa. Surprisingly, the de facto role of English in Namibia has to date not been systematically and comprehensively investigated within the framework of World Englishes. This is a gap the present paper seeks to address. To this end, part one of our study provides insights drawn from a questionnaire-based inquiry into language use in the different domains of private and public life, questions of linguistic and cultural identity, as well as attitudes towards the different languages spoken in Namibia. Part two tentatively identifies some linguistic features on various linguistic levels as potential candidates for structural nativisation. Taken together, the overall results suggest an ongoing change of the status of English spoken in Namibia from English as a foreign language (EFL) to English as a second language (ESL). article 2014 0172-8865,1569-9730 10.1075/eww.35.2.01bus English World-Wide.

Boyle’s thirteenth novel When the Killing’s Done (2011) in regard to its representation of ecological crisis and the ensuing environmental activism. In particular, it argues that the distinctly urban background and way of life of the two main protagonists, National Park Service staff member Alma Boyd Takesue and radical eco-hipster Dave LaJoy, foster environmental imaginations of the California Channel Islands that underestimate the centuries-long agricultural uses of the islands and romanticize the islands’ ecosystems as pristine ‘wilderness.’ While this perception in the tradition of the ‘American cult of wilderness’ prompts Alma and the National Park Service to reestablish a historical state of the islands’ ecosystems through the calculated extermination of invasive species, eco-activist Dave fiercely fights for the right of every non-human animal to live. Ultimately, the novel deconstructs both these endeavors to biodiversity and animal rights as highly flawed and environmentally as well as ethically inconsistent. article 2014 Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture and Environment 5 Universidad de Alcalá (Spain), Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Estudios Norteamericanos 136-154 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/31391 Susanne Leikam The ongoing expansion and diversification of English, especially in the Expanding Circle, calls for a comparative analysis of these processes and a deepened theoretical understanding of this dynamism. A key question asked in this paper is whether or to what extent the Dynamic Model' of the evolution of Postcolonial Englishes is able to explain these processes and can be applied to Extending Circle countries as well. A decade after its first influential publication, reactions to the model are surveyed systematically, including some new applications, modifications, approaches at testing it, and some criticism. Applying the comparative-descriptive framework of this model and some of its constituent components, the progress of English is outlined in China, Korea, and (less broadly) Japan, the ASEAN, Thailand, Namibia, and Rwanda. Furthermore, it is argued that a similar dynamism is driving the widespread emergence of hybrid mixes between local languages and English and phenomena of poststructuralist diffusion,' English being adopted by whatever means, in fragments and unconstrained of norm concerns, driven by strongly utilitarian considerations. A tabular summary assessment compares these processes with constituents of the Dynamic Model and finds that despite some similarities it is not well suited to grasp the vibrant developments of the Expanding Circle. Instead, the notion of transnational attraction' is defined and proposed as an appropriate conceptual framework. article 2014 0883-2919,1467-971X 10.1111/weng.12069 World Englishes 33 WILEY

SCHNEIDER Two much-cited explanations for linguistic innovations in varieties of New Englishes are cross-linguistic influence (see Gut 2011) and simplification (see Schneider 2007: 82). Using these two notions as starting points, the present study seeks to detect effects of structural nativization in noun phrase (NP) modification in two varieties of English whose substrate languages differ strongly from a typological point of view: Singaporean and Kenyan English. The results yielded by the comparison of random samples extracted from the relevant components of the International Corpus of English in the first part of the study show striking correspondences between the preferred NP structures in the varieties at hand and NP structures in the local languages concerned, which, in the light of Mufwene's (2001, 2008) ecological theory of language change, can be interpreted as effects of language contact. The second part of the study shows that the NPs from the three varieties also differ in terms of variables which can be viewed as measures of NP complexity. What is more, the different degrees of complexity found in the samples correspond closely to predictions about the evolutionary status of the varieties at hand made by Schneider's (2007) Dynamic Model. article 2014 1360-6743,1469-4379 10.1017/S1360674313000269 English Language and Linguistics 18 CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS

In a similar vein, Marcel Proust equipped his apartment with a soundproof room and a network of cables and switches in order to conduct his famous research on lost time. The combined use of the camera silenta and advanced communication technologies turned time experts around 1900 into spiders: without ears, eyes, or nose, they were waiting at the edge of an extended web of simultaneities for the slightest vibrations their bodies could receive. With Gilles Deleuze and Feelix Guattari, one could say that they experienced states of organlessness. article 2013 0369-7827,1933-8287 10.1086/671368 Osiris 28 UNIV CHICAGO PRESS

Interactive features are now integral parts of web search engines. However, generating good query modification suggestions remains a challenging issue. Query log analysis is one of the major strands of work in this direction. Although much research has been performed on query logs collected on the web as a whole, query log analysis to enhance search on smaller and more focused collections has attracted less attention, despite its increasing practical importance. In this article, we report on a systematic study of different query modification methods applied to a substantial query log collected on a local website that already uses an interactive search engine. We conducted experiments in which we asked users to assess the relevance of potential query modification suggestions that have been constructed using a range of log analysis methods and different baseline approaches. The experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of log analysis to extract query modification suggestions. Furthermore, our experiments demonstrate that a more fine‐grained approach than grouping search requests into sessions allows for extraction of better refinement terms from query log files. article 2013 2330-1643,2330-1635 10.1002/asi.22901 Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 64 Wiley 1975-1994 10 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40348 Udo Kruschwitz D.

Open Peer Reviewed Journal https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/24696 Edith Feistner This article sheds new light on Bruno Latour's sociology of science and technology by looking at his early study of the French writer, philosopher and editor Charles Peguy (1873-1914). In the early 1970s, Latour engaged in a comparative study of Peguy's Clio and the four gospels of the New Testament. His 1973 contribution to a Peguy colloquium (published in 1977) offers rich insights into his interest in questions of time, history, tradition and translation. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of difference, Latour reads Clio as spelling out and illustrating the following argument: 'Repetition is a machine to produce differences with identity'. However, in contrast to Deleuze's work (together with Felix Guattari) on the materiality of machines, or assemblages [agencements], Latour emphasizes the semiotic aspects of the repetition/difference process. As in Peguy, the main model for this process is the Roman Catholic tradition of religious events. The article argues that it is this reading of Peguy and Latour's early interest in biblical exegesis that inspired much of Latour's later work. In Laboratory Life (Latour and Woolgar, 1979) and The Pasteurization of France (1988) in particular, problems of exegesis and tradition provide important stimuli for the analysis of scientific texts. In this context, Latour gradually transforms the question of tradition into the problem of reference. In a first step, he shifts the event that is transmitted and translated from the temporal dimension (i.e. the past) to the spatial (i.e. from one part of the laboratory to another). It is only in a second step that Latour resituates scientific events in time. As facts they are 'constructed' but nevertheless 'irreducible'. They result, according to Latour, from the tradition of the future. As a consequence, the Latourian approach to science distances itself from the materialism of Deleuze and other innovative theoreticians. article 2013 0952-6951,1461-720X 10.1177/0952695112461736 History of the Human Sciences 26 SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD

3-28 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/34496 Henning Schmidgen This examination illustrates weaknesses in the traditional research paradigm in cross-cultural studies of linguistic politeness - the use of elicited data, and the model tacitly underlying the construction of elicitation tools. This is done by discussing insights gained in a quantitative cross-linguistic study of situated, naturally occurring requests and proposals, which could not be gained using elicited data. After indicating the scale on which the current elicitation paradigm has been applied in cross-cultural pragmatics, the article summarizes the main critical points highlighted by previous research and introduces new points, such as a social pressure on the respondents to produce the kind of data expected by the researcher, and the researcher's lack of insight into the context models construed by the respondents. Finally, it is discussed how the choice of elicitation tasks is tacitly based on a dyadic model of interaction, in which the addressee is a single person and the speaker acts on his or her own behalf and only represents him-or herself. There follows a discussion of a corpus-based study of requests and proposals that compares data from British, German, and Polish versions of the reality TV show Big Brother. It is shown how quantitative study of natural data not restricted to dyadic interactions demands new categorizations of interaction parameters considered, and provides new insights into language-specific impact of contextual factors upon politeness strategies. article 2013 1612-295X,1613-365X 10.1515/ip-2013-0030 iprg 10 DE GRUYTER MOUTON

Applications of domain models have a long history within knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence. In the last couple of decades they have surfaced noticeably as a useful tool within natural language processing, information retrieval and semantic web technology. Inspired by the ubiquitous propagation of domain model structures that are emerging in several research disciplines, we give an overview of the current research landscape and some techniques and approaches. We will also discuss trade-offs between different approaches and point to some recent trends. article 2012 1873-5371,0306-4573 10.1016/j.ipm.2011.07.002 Information Processing & Management 48 Elsevier 552-568 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40350 M.

Die räumliche Konstellation zwischen navigierender Person und Landmarken fand bisher nur theoretisch Berücksichtigung, zudem blieb dabei die Hierarchisierung von Landmarken außen vor. Ziel des Promotionsvorhabens ist es daher zu untersuchen, unter welchen Randbedingungen die theoretischen Vorarbeiten für die situationsbedingte Anpassung von Routenanweisungen praktisch in realweltlichen Situationen genutzt werden können.

Therefore, optimizing the efficacy of a drug is at present the most promising way to exploit its full pharmacological potential. Method: A high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet assay for memantine in serum from demented patients has been developed and validated. The analytical procedure involves offline solid phase extraction cartridges. Because memantine molecules lack chromophoric pi-electrons, a derivatization with dansyl chloride was required for detection by ultraviolet (UV) photometry. Analyses were performed on a Dionex high-performance liquid chromatography system with a Phenomenex Luna Phenyl-Hexyl analytical column and 0.02 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer/acetonitrile (40/60 V/V) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Dansylated memantine was detected at 218 nm; 2 more ultraviolet wavelengths at 254 nm and 336 nm were used as an overlay-control check. Results: The retention time for dansylated memantine was 17.1 +/- 0.2 minutes. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range from 5 to 160 ng/mL (n = 8/r(2) > 0.999). The method had an accuracy of >90%. Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <5% and <13%, respectively, at 3 different concentrations. The limit of quantification and the limit of detection were 2.9 ng/mL and 0.8 ng/mL, respectively. Among 100 substances prescribed as comedications in the treatment of dementia only fluvoxamine and zuclopenthixole showed retention times close to dansylated memantine (17.8 minutes and 18.1 minutes, respectively). However, these 2 drugs were removed from patients' specimens during solid-phase extraction sample preparation. Conclusions: The method is applicable under conditions of daily routine as has been demonstrated by application of the method to patient serum samples. The quantification of 29 samples showed that memantine concentrations suggested as "therapeutic" in the literature may only be reached by high doses of memantine. article 2012 0163-4356,1536-3694 10.1097/FTD.0b013e31826933ab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring 34 LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS

Evidence for the syntactic status of subject and direct object as core arguments comes from S=O ambitransitive verbs, S/O pivots in complex predicates, switch reference, relative clause formation, agreement marking, and obligatory focus marking. In contrast, there is no evidence for the concept of an "indirect object". Other relevant phenomena to be explored are case marking, verbs whose morphological make-up correlates with transitivity, zero anaphora, and coalescent nouns in complex predicates. In summary, if languages can be characterized by the extent to which they have grammaticalized the control cline between actor and undergoer, Iatmul can be located in the middle field, with a clear subject category, and a more variable direct object function, whose instantiation is primarily determined by semantic and pragmatic factors. article 2011 0378-4177,0378-4177 10.1075/sl.35.3.03jen Studies in Language 35 JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING CO

This pronoun helps to ensure referential coherence through agreement in noun class and number with an antecedent, whose referent is thematic in the new paragraph. Additional morphology in the connector pronoun specifies temporal, causal, and other relations between events. The connector pronoun is syntactically tightly integrated into the clause, where it may function as an argument of a verb or as the dependent element of a genitive phrase. Certain frequent forms of the connector pronoun are the basis for a number of lexicalized conjunctions. This paragraph-linking strategy parallels in a number of ways tail-head linkage systems, not only in its functionality, but also with respect to its diachronic outcome (discourse conjunctions). The fact that Bora grammaticalized nominal expressions in a paragraph-linking system (whereas verbs are the central components of tail-head linkage) is congruent with the general preference of Bora to use many noun phrases per clause, in contrast to tail-head linkage languages, where noun phrases are rarely used. article 2010 0024-3949,0024-3949 10.1515/LING.2010.028 Linguistics 48 MOUTON DE GRUYTER

Usually, developers employ plug-in concepts, Factory Pattern-based approaches, or concepts like Java I/O Streaming Architecture to solve this kind of problem. This article presents a new approach to resource access that's based on separating the resource access aspects, such as address, content format, and location type, to allow their flexible and configurable combination. The article also illustrates the approach using sample code that shows parts of its reference implementation and application. article 2010 10.1109/MS.2010.128 IEEE Software 27 IEEE COMPUTER SOC

There is an obvious gap between the intentions of the help content authors and the achievement of objectives concerning the perceived usefulness by help users. Problems may be divided into psychological and implementation issues. On the psychological side users are often seriously challenged with understanding the instructions given by the system, which usually is not adequately adapted to user's prior knowledge or the vocabulary of a lay person. This problem of expert-lay communication is strengthened by the implementation problem of missing feedback channels. As a result, help systems do often leave users in isolation with their problems. The current article aims to address these issues by presenting an information architecture for an online help system which addresses aspects of communication between authors and users. The approach combines earlier models of design patterns with features for user contribution from social software and design principles in multimedia learning. article 2009 Journal of Educational Technology Systems 38 Baywood 3-20 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/14231 S.

Beyond connection and literacy factors, there should exist a better definition of indicators where cultural aspects should also be included. Bridging the digital divide must also take into account the diffusion of innovations theory of E. Rogers; otherwise, it would be difficult to reach this goal. Some models have already been formulated, but no one is transferable to each community and country, as every community has to elaborate a plan with its own specific needs. The international community has made many efforts to find ways to overcome the digital divide, but this question still remains very problematic. Further efforts are required, particularly in developing countries. There are also NGOs, who have done much in those poor countries to help support important initiatives. Even if a redefinition of the indicators is conceivable, one must recognise that developing countries are the less connected and the more excluded. From an ethical point of view, the international community should undertake more in order to help the developing world connect to and participate in the new information society. article 2008 3 03 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/10713 Yao Marc Kouadio article 2008 10.1016/j.ipm.2007.12.001 Inf.

Starting from an initial category finding phase in which tags attributed to selected articles from Connotea were classified we have set up a category model for linguistic and functional aspects of tag usage as well as for the relationship between tags and document full text. In a second phase this model is applied to approx. 500 tagged articles from the information and computer technology domain randomly selected from Connotea. Our findings show significant differences to other tagging research which was primarily conducted using popular (non-scientific) tagging platforms like Flickr or Delicious. We observe a great overlap of tag material and document text and rather few non-content related tags. The comparison of user tags with author keywords shows that users tend to use less and more general tags. Finally, system functionality seems to play a role for users’ tagging behaviour. article 2008 Journal of Digital Information (JoDI) 9 Texas Digital Library (TDL) 2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/6839 Markus Heckner Susanne Mühlbacher Christian Wolff On the one side accessible Web sites are becoming increasingly important in general and are a statutory provision in the context of eGovernment. On the other side the trend of creating Web 2.0 based applications is growing exponentially due to the richness of graphical user interfaces, effects, high interactivity and collective intelligence potentials that Web 2.0 based applications can provide. This article describes the primary purpose of Web 2.0, accessibility and the symbiotic application.

There would seem to be considerable potential for 'joined-up' data and information services to improve this situation, and Semantic Web technologies offer many enticing possibilities in this regard. However, to be effective, many organisational and policy issues have to be addressed; not least among these is the concern of patient confidentiality. This is particularly pertinent given that people with learning disabilities might be less able to make informed decisions. The approach that this paper takes is to review the policy and service scenarios that would benefit from 'joined-up' data, and then, based on user feedback from a series of seminars with stakeholders on these issues, explore what works well, what works less well, and to offer suggestions for future developments. article 2006 2058-4563,2058-4555 10.14236/jhi.v14i3.628 Innovation in Health Informatics 14 BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT 175-181 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40353 Udo Kruschwitz S. Musgrave D. O'Neill J. Gekas H. Mann This article presents an analysis of subject-verb concord in earlier white Southern American Vernacular English (SAVE). The data were taken from the Southern Plantation Overseers Corpus (SPOC), a collection of vernacular letters dating from the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century. Part one focuses on the effect of two internal linguistic constraints that govern the occurrence of present-tense verbal -s: The first constraint affects the auxiliaries have and be and predicts higher rates of -s when compared to lexical verbs. A second, functional constraint, which to the author's knowledge has not been investigated in other studies to date, operates on be, depending on its function as copula or other auxiliary verb. Part two investigates was/were variation in the early SAVE past-tense be paradigm. Separate analyses of all idiolects that combine to make up the community grammar of the overseers demonstrate that idiolects need to be considered in a sound interpretation and explanation of the results of group analysis. article 2006 0003-1283,0003-1283 10.1215/00031283-2006-017 American Speech 81 DUKE UNIV PRESS

Der hiermit einhergehenden „Informationsflut“ wird das Ungenügen des Information Retrieval (IR) bzw. seiner gängigen Verfahren der Informationsaufbereitung und Informationserschließung gegenübergestellt. Es wird bemängelt, dass sich das IR weitgehend darin erschöpft, Teilmengen von Textkollektionen auf Suchanfragen hin aufzufinden und in der Regel bloß listenförmig anzuordnen. Das auf diese Weise dargestellte Spannungsverhältnis von Informationsexplosion und Defiziten bestehender IR-Verfahren bildet den Hintergrund für die Entwicklung von Verfahren zur automatischen Verarbeitung textueller Einheiten, die sich stärker an den Anforderungen von Informationssuchenden orientieren. Anders ausgedrückt: Mit der Einführung der Neuen Medien wächst die Bedeutung digitalisierter Dokumente als Primärmedium für die Verarbeitung, Verbreitung und Verwaltung von Information in öffentlichen und betrieblichen Organisationen. Dabei steht wegen der Menge zu verarbeitender Einheiten die Alternative einer intellektuellen Dokumenterschließung nicht zur Verfügung. Andererseits wachsen die Anforderung an eine automatische Textanalyse, der das klassische IR nicht gerecht wird. Der Mehrzahl der hiervon betroffenen textuellen Einheiten fehlt die explizite Strukturiertheit formaler Datenstrukturen. Vielmehr weisen sie je nach Text- bzw. Dokumenttyp ganz unterschiedliche Strukturierungsgrade auf. Dabei korreliert die Flexibilität der Organisationsziele negativ mit dem Grad an explizierter Strukturiertheit und positiv mit der Anzahl jener Texte und Texttypen (E-Mails, Memos, Expertisen, technische Dokumentationen etc.), die im Zuge ihrer Realisierung produziert bzw. rezipiert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund entsteht ein Bedarf an Texttechnologien, die ihren Benutzern nicht nur „intelligente“ Schnittstellen zur Textrezeption anbieten, sondern zugleich auf inhaltsorientierte Textanalysen zielen, um auf diese Weise aufgabenrelevante Daten explorieren und kontextsensitiv aufbereiten zu helfen. Das Text Mining ist mit dem Versprechen verbunden, eine solche Technologie darzustellen bzw. sich als solche zu entwickeln. Dieser einheitlichen Problembeschreibung stehen konkurrierende Textmining-Spezifikationen gegenüber, was bereits die Vielfalt der Namensgebungen verdeutlicht. So finden sich neben der Bezeichnung Text Mining (Joachims & Leopold 2002; Tan 1999) die Alternativen • Text Data Mining (Hearst 1999b; Merkl 2000), • Textual Data Mining (Losiewicz et al. 2000), • Text Knowledge Engineering (Hahn & Schnattinger 1998), • Knowledge Discovery in Texts (Kodratoff 1999) oder • Knowledge Discovery in Textual Databases (Feldman & Dagan 1995). Dabei lässt bereits die Namensgebung erkennen, dass es sich um Analogiebildungen zu dem (nur unwesentlich älteren) Forschungsgebiet des Data Mining (DM; als Bestandteil des Knowledge Discovery in Databases – KDD) handelt. Diese Namensvielfalt findet ihre Entsprechung in widerstreitenden Aufgabenzuweisungen. So setzt beispielsweise Sebastiani (2002) Informationsextraktion und Text Mining weitgehend gleich, wobei er eine Schnittmenge zwischen Text Mining und Textkategorisierung ausmacht (siehe auch Dörre et al. 1999). Demgegenüber betrachten Kosala & Blockeel (2000) Informationsextraktion und Textkategorisierung lediglich als Teilbereiche des ihrer Ansicht nach umfassenderen Text Mining, während Hearst (1999a) im Gegensatz hierzu Informationsextraktion und Textkategorisierung explizit aus dem Bereich des explorativen Text Mining ausschließt. article 2005 LDV-Forum 20 Gesellschaft für Linguistische Datenverarbeitung 1-18 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/6844 Alexander Mehler Christian Wolff article 2005 10.1400/11324 Studi italiani: semestrale di letteratura italiana Ed.

However, much of that knowledge is encoded implicitly and cannot be applied directly without processing into some more appropriate structures. Searching, browsing, question answering, for example, could all benefit from domain‐specific knowledge contained in the documents, and in applications such as simple search we do not actually need very “deep” knowledge structures such as ontologies, but we can get a long way with a model of the domain that consists of term hierarchies. We combine domain knowledge automatically acquired by exploiting the documents' markup structure with knowledge extracted on the fly to assist a user with ad hoc search requests. Such a search system can suggest query modification options derived from the actual data and thus guide a user through the space of documents. This article gives a detailed account of a task‐based evaluation that compares a search system that uses the outlined domain knowledge with a standard search system. We found that users do use the query modification suggestions proposed by the system. The main conclusion we can draw from this evaluation, however, is that users prefer a system that can suggest query modifications over a standard search engine, which simply presents a ranked list of documents. Most interestingly, we observe this user preference despite the fact that the baseline system even performs slightly better under certain criteria. article 2005 2330-1643,2330-1635 10.1002/asi.20230 Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 56 Wiley 1377-1393 13 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40349 Udo Kruschwitz H.

An inherent problem with automatic approaches is the treatment of multiword terms as single semantic entities. Taking company names as an example, we present a method for learning multiword terms from large text corpora exploiting their internal structure. Through the iteration of a search step and a verification step the single words typically forming company names are learnt. These name elements are used for recognizing compounds in order to use them for further processing. We give some evaluation of experiments on company name extraction and discuss some applications. article 2003 10.3217/jucs-009-06-0530 J.UCS – Journal of Universal Computer Science 9 530-541 6 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/6837 Christian Biemann Karsten Böhm Uwe Quasthoff Christian Wolff article 2003 1360-6441,1360-6441 10.1111/1467-9481.00230 Journal of Sociolinguistics 7 BLACKWELL PUBL LTD

Rusch 2002b: 70f). Die so genannten „Neuen Medien“ finden sich zwar als Subjekt medienwissenschaftlicher Betrachtungen wieder (vgl. Ludes 1998: 51ff, 129), es besteht aber ein Defizit hinsichtlich der Modernisierung geeigneter Methoden für die Medienanalyse, die bisher von qualitativen und an einzelnen Publikationen bzw. Medienereignissen orientierten Verfahren geprägt ist (vgl. Posner 2001, Andringa 2002, Schreier 2002). Dieser Beitrag versucht aufzuzeigen, wie Text Mining-Verfahren für die inhaltliche Auswertung von Pressetexten genutzt werden können und so als „angewandte Medieninformatik“ einen interdisziplinären Beitrag zur Medienanalyse leisten können. Es wird ein im World Wide Web verfügbarer Informationsdienst vorgestellt, der tagesaktuell überregionale Online-Medien auswertet und begriffsbasiert die jeweils als relevant erkannten Konzepte als „Wörter des Tages“ präsentiert. Dabei kommen sowohl Darstellungen relevanter Begriffe, die einem einfachen Kategoriensystem zugeordnet sind zum Zuge, als auch Visualisierungen von aktuellen Begriffsassoziationen und Visualisierungen des Aktualitätsverlaufs einzelner Konzepte. article 2003 LDV-Forum: Zeitschrift für Computerlinguistik und Sprachtechnologie 18 GLDV 452-459 1,2 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/6846 Uwe Quasthoff Matthias Richter Christian Wolff article 2003 Grenzgänge: Beiträge zu einer modernen Romanistik 10 Leipziger Univ.-Verl. 166-183 19-20 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/11385 Isabella von Treskow article 2003 10.1016/S1369-8486(03)00024-4 Studies in History and Philosophy of Science.

Die Untersuchung geht dabei von der Situation der Gesellschaft für linguistische Datenverarbeitung (GLDV) als typischem Beispiel einer wissenschaftlichen Vereinigung aus. article 1998 LDV-Forum 15 Gesellschaft für Linguistische Datenverarbeitung 29-44 1 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/6845 Bettina Mielke Christian Wolff article 1998 The Germanic Review 73 Heldref Publ. 299-308 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/11856 Achim Geisenhanslüke The YPA project is building a system to make the information in classified directories more accessible. BT's Yellow Pages®1 provides an example of classified database with which this work would be useful. There are two reasons for doing this: (i) directories like Yellow Pages contain much useful but hard-to-access information, especially in the free text in semi-display advertisements; (ii) more generally, the project is a demonstrator for exploitation of semi-structured data — data that is less systematic than database entries or logical clauses, but more systematic than free text because it has been marked up, for display or some other purpose. Accessing the directory source data file requires both natural language processing (for softening the interface to the system, and separately for analysis of natural-language-like constructs in the data) and information retrieval techniques, which are assisted by shallow knowledge. Deep world knowledge is impractical. The project seeks to get maximum effect from conveniently simplified approximations of standard natural language processing and knowledge representation. The paper gives an overview of the system, and illustrates its style with points about how the source data file is analysed. The YPA requires further development, but already demonstrates the effectiveness of shallow processing applied to semi-structured data. article 1998 1573-1995,1358-3948 10.1023/A:1009650503571 BT Technology Journal 16 Springer/Kluwer 145-154 3 https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/id/eprint/40356 A.
