Differences In Use Of Metaphor Between Narrative And Non-Narrative Texts, Armando J. Ochoa
Differences In Use Of Metaphor Between Narrative And Non-Narrative Texts, Armando J. Ochoa
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
Metaphors are widespread in human language and are used in all types of text. One of the most common text types are narratives, which share a number of unique structural traits which distinguish them from non-narrative types. We investigate if there is any difference in the use of metaphor between narrative and non-narrative texts. We first created a Java API to interface with the Vienna University Annotated Metaphor Corpus (VUAMC), which provides four different types of text (three non-narrative and one narrative) with word-by-word annotations of metaphor occurrences. We then contrasted narrative and non-narrative texts by calculating several similarity measures, …
A Review Of Data Repositories For The Long Tail Of Computer Science, Pachev Joseph
A Review Of Data Repositories For The Long Tail Of Computer Science, Pachev Joseph
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
Computer scientists undertaking research often find themselves struggling to find or generate the right data to formulate or test hypotheses, validate models, or test algorithms – which in turn leads to greater time and effort allocated to searching for or producing data, rather than using it to perform scientific research. This data barrier is a significant impediment to scientific progress, because most of the progress occurs in the long tail of computer science: in many smaller, silo-like laboratories that rarely share data. This paper surveys nineteen existing data repositories based on their respective feature sets. Out of the nineteen reviewed …

What Are The Implications Of One-To-One Technology Implementation?, Kevin Nguyen
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
This research study was used to examine my research question, “What are the implications of one-t- -one technology implementation?” This study specifically focused on the implications of one-to-one technology, one-to-one technology efficiency, and how teachers/students interact and feel about oneto- one technology. The study also describes these implications and future suggestions regarding one-to-one technology implementation and research. The study was conducted at a suburban high school located in Miami Dade County Public Schools and the tenth grade students would be surveyed through their English classes with the teacher’s consent. A census of tenth grade English teachers was taken and their …
