The PROLIV project should increase, through efficient learning-oriented information, the readiness of
the humanist scientists for the use of complex formal methods, and of
the computer specialists for the humanist facts and interpretations.
The technical main-goal of the PROLIV project is the development of interactive multimedia tools mainly for consolidation of first-years courses in (computer) linguistics and literary computing, and the integration of such tools and of the corresponding e-Learning contents into a homogeneous surface, within "WebCT".
The platform-independent project is focused on such methods, that
on the one hand, are based on very actual linguistic, mathematical or computer science theories, and
are not easily understood by first-year students (by themselves), through text representation,
however, are important for the study.
Therefore, the following methods will be implemented in the PROLIV tools:
Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA)
Lexicon encodings and formats
Question modelling
New modules were added:
Topic - Focus
Hidden Markov Models
The tools will be connected in a platform-independent, homogeneous surface, in which one can attach further similar tools. There can also be integrated already-existing eLearning-courses. Each visual process of the tools will be accompanied by detailed theoretical explanations.
The environment, as well as a single tool, will be used in courses (and/or seminars), and this way tested and evaluated.
