Proceedings ArticleDOI
Identifying Nocuous Ambiguities in Natural Language Requirements
TL;DR: A novel technique is presented that automatically alerts authors of requirements to the presence of potentially dangerous ambiguities, and heuristics are used, based largely on word distribution information, to automatically replicate these judgements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysing anaphoric ambiguity in natural language requirements
TL;DR: An automated approach to identify potentially nocuous ambiguity, which occurs when text is interpreted differently by different readers, focuses on anaphoric ambiguity, who occurs when readers may disagree on how pronouns should be interpreted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seeing the smart city on Twitter: Colour and the affective territories of becoming smart:
Gillian Rose,Alistair Willis +1 more
TL;DR: The immense and febrile field of digital image files which picture the smart city as they circulate on the social media platform Twitter is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hybrid model for automatic emotion recognition in suicide notes.
TL;DR: A hybrid model is proposed that incorporates a number of natural language processing techniques, including lexicon-based keyword spotting, CRF- based emotion cue identification, and machine learning-based emotion classification, that demonstrates that effective emotion recognition by an automated system is possible when a large annotated corpus is available.

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the diverse views of tacit knowledge discussed in the literature from a wide range of disci-plines, reflect on their commonalities and differences, and proposes a conceptual framework for requirements engineering that characterizes the different facets of tacitknowledge that distinguish the different views.
