Multilinguals' language control
… tried to explain how speakers of more than one language (multilinguals) manage to keep their languages separate and to switch from one language to the other depending on the context. This ability of multilingual speakers to use the intended language, while avoiding interference from the other …

Driving by Speaking: Natural Language Control of Robotic Wheelchairs
… This thesis presents a method to parse natural language commands into useful robotic instructions as well as control methods to navigate in a priori known and novel environments. An agglomerative algorithm was developed that uses stemmatic processing to extract meaning from natural language …

Natural Language Control for for Visually Interactive Decision Support Tools in Supply Chain Management
… and understand. A solution for this is natural language interfaces, allowing users to use natural language commands to control the visualization. Additionally, natural language interfaces can be difficult to implement, and require applications specific programming or training. This thesis …

The Role of the DLPFC in Bilingual and Monolingual Switching: Evidence from MVPA and tDCS
… research suggests that the bilingual experience controlling two languages may transfer to non-linguistic control tasks, resulting in a “bilingual advantage.” If this is the case, there should be a neural basis for this transfer (i.e., a region of the brain involved in both types of control). The …

Towards efficient, on-demand and automated deep learning
… on tasks of computer vision, speech, language, control and many others. The advanced and dedicated computing chips, like Nvidia GPU and Google TPU, largely contributed and broadened this success. However, the requirement of large computing power impedes the deployment of deep learning …

Definition and validation of software complexity metrics for Ada
… of the major goals of software engineering is to control the development and maintenance of software products. With the growing use and importance of the Ada programming language, control over the software life cycle of Ada systems is becoming even more important. Software complexity metrics have …

The effect of monolingualism, bilingualism and trilingualism on executive functioning in young and older adults
… compared to monolinguals, enhanced cognitive control, consequently exhibiting greater cognitive reserve, which is thought to subsequently delay the onset of clinical expression of dementia. Based on recent evidence suggesting that the more languages one manages the greater cognitive reserve, …

Neural and Behavioural Effects of Bilingualism on Selective Attention
… consequence of learning and using multiple languages might be that it triggers neuroplastic adaptation that allows bilinguals to achieve optimal performance under increased processing demands. This functional plasticity yielding equivalent outcomes (also known as degeneracy) is a common …

When do dialects become languages? A cognitive perspective
… that offer to identify the boundaries between languages and dialects, yet these distinctions are inconsistent and are often as political as they are linguistic (Chambers & Trudgill, 1998). A different perspective is offered in this thesis, by investigating how closely related linguistic …

Between Morality and Myth: A Parodic Visual Manifesto
… that art communicates, that an image speaks all languages, these works were created as a visual manifesto responding satirically to the absurd way in which myths are elevated to the status of moral values. The photographic works created for this thesis challenge long held beliefs and emotions …
