Referring nouns in name-informing quotation: A copula-based approach
(Universität OsnabrückenHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2020)
In name-informing constructions like "The phenomenon is called a “sun halo”", the noun mentioned in the quotation (a “sun halo”) adopts a referring interpretation, as indicated by the determiner. As an account, we claim predicates like call to introduce a copular relation, which is the source of referring uses of nominals in name-informing quotation: To call y “n” entails that y is an n. Two copula types are argued to be covertly contained in name-informing constructions, an identificational copula and an equative ...

Impact of implementation of auxiliary bias-windings on controllable inductors for power electronic converters
(IEEE, 2020)
Magnetic devices are an important part of electronic converters. They can be used to control some properties of the converters. There are three different control methods using an auxiliary bias-winding. In the presented paper, the impact of the implementation of the auxiliary bias-winding was studied for mixed biasing. Seven different designs were investigated in small signal measurements and 3D-FEM-simulations. The results were proven by calculated results of equivalent diagram circuits, which have been developed. ...

Unleashing the Potential of Conversational Agents for Course Evaluations: Empirical Insights from a Comparison with Web Surveys
(Association for Information Systems, 2020)
Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) bear the opportunity to design new forms of human-computer interaction with conversational interfaces. However, little is known about how these interfaces change the way users respond in online course evaluations. We aim to explore the effects of conversational agents (CAs) on the response quality of online course evaluations in education compared to the common standard of web surveys. Past research indicates that web surveys come with disadvantages, such as poor ...

SPAM – A Process Model for Developing Smart Personal Assistants
(ScholarSpace, 2020)
Information technology capabilities are growing at an impressive pace and increasingly overstrain the cognitive abilities of users. User assistance systems such as online manuals try to help the user in handling these systems. However, there is strong evidence that traditional user assistance systems are not as effective as intended. With the rise of smart personal assistants, such as Amazon’s Alexa, user assistance systems are becoming more sophisticated by offering a higher degree of interaction and intelligence. ...

Towards a Technique for Modeling New Forms of Collaborative Work Practices – The Facilitation Process Model 2.0
(University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hamilton Library, ScholarSpace, 2020)
Collaboration Engineering (CE) is an approach for the design and deployment of repeatable collaborative work practices that can be executed by practitioners themselves without the ongoing support of external collaboration professionals. A key design activity in CE concerns modeling current and future collaborative work practices. CE researchers and practitioners have used the Facilitation Process Model (FPM) technique. However, this modeling technique suffers from a number of shortcomings to model contemporary ...

Unlocking Transfer Learning in Argumentation Mining: A Domain-Independent Modelling Approach
(GITO Verlag, 2020)
Argument identification is the fundamental block of every Argumentation Mining pipeline, which in turn is a young upcoming field with multiple applications ranging from strategy support to opinion mining and news fact-checking. We developed a model, which is tackling the two biggest practical and academic challenges of the research field today. First, it addresses the lack of corpus-agnostic models and, second, it tackles the problem of human-labor-intensive NLP models being costly to develop. We do that by suggesting ...

Systematische Entwicklung eines Lerntools zur Erhöhung der Argumentationsfähigkeiten von Studierenden
(GITO Verlag, 2020)
Die Digitalisierung führt zu neuen Anforderungen an Fähigkeiten und Kenntnissen, die Studierende in ihrem zukünftigen Berufsleben benötigen. Metakognitive Lernkompetenzen und Higher Order Thinking Skills werden dabei immer wichtiger, um Herausforderungen der Zukunft zu lösen. Eine Unterklasse dieser Fähigkeiten, die wesentlich zu Kommunikation, Kollaboration und Problemlösung beiträgt, ist die Fähigkeit, strukturiert und reflektierend zu argumentieren. Bildungseinrichtungen haben jedoch Schwierigkeiten, die für die ...

Using Smart Personal Assistants for Online Learning Activities: What benefits can we expect?
(GITO Verlag, 2020)
With the increasing popularity of massive open online courses, universities are able to reach a wider audience without restriction and for comparably low costs. However, in these learning environments, educators are hardly able to offer individual support to their learners. According to learning theory, the lack of individual support in online learning environments can considerably limit learning success. In our paper, we argue that new emerging Smart Personal Assistants (SPAs) have the capabilities to address this ...

Trust in Smart Personal Assistants: A Systematic Literature Review and Development of a Research Agenda
(GITO Verlag, 2020)
Smart Personal Assistants (SPA) fundamentally influence the way individuals perform tasks, use services and interact with organizations. They thus bear an immense economic and societal potential. However, a lack of trust - rooted in perceptions of uncertainty and risk - when interacting with intelligent computer agents can inhibit their adoption. In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review to investigate the state of knowledge on trust in SPAs. Based on a concept-centric analysis of 50 papers, we derive ...
