2. 1. Natural Language Processing for Low-resourced Code-switched Colloquial Languages – The Case of Algerian Language

   Author : Wafia Adouane; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural language processing; Deep neural networks; Low-resourced language; Colloquial language; Code-switch; Dialectal Arabic; User-generated data; Non-standardised orthography; Algerian language;

   Abstract : In this thesis we explore to what extent deep neural networks (DNNs), trained end-to-end, can be used to perform natural language processing tasks for code-switched colloquial languages lacking both large automated data and processing tools, for instance tokenisers, morpho-syntactic and semantic parsers, etc. We opt for an end-to-end learning approach because this kind of data is hard to control due to its high orthographic and linguistic variability.

   Author : Clas Olander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Science education; social language; interlanguage; biological evolution; epistemology; group discussion; secondary school;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore what is involved when learning science, by focusing on students’ appropriation of the school science language. The aspiration is to explore relations between, on the one hand, content-oriented aspects of making sense of a specific area in school biology, and on the other hand, more generic patterns that are linked to learning in general: the influence of different social languages, and also the conceptual, epistemological, and ontological constituents of learning something.
