A major problem in research on Textual Entailment (TE) is the high implementation effort for TE systems. Recently, interoperable standards for annotation and preprocessing have been proposed. In contrast, the algorithmic level remains unstandardized, which makes component re-use in this area very difficult in practice. In this paper, we introduce multi-level alignments as a central, powerful representation for TE algorithms that encourages modular, reusable, multilingual algorithm development. We demonstrate that a pilot open-source implementation of multi-level alignment with minimal features competes with state-of-theart open-source TE engines in three languages.

Nowadays, we are witnessing a paradigm shift from traditional monolithic software systems to distributed solutions where the whole computation is partitioned among various modules that can be also located in different geographic locations. Such a change has been surely fostered by the continuous development of the network infrastructures but, more effectively, by the need to easily access information distributed almost everywhere on the planet. In this context the Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has emerged as one of the leading approaches for both the design and implementation of distributed applications. The key concepts of this paradigm are the idea of service, an independent software module that performs certain operations, and the possibility to seamlessly combine such modules in order to offer more sophisticated functionalities. In this paper, after analyzing the main characteristics that made the SOC paradigm a so widespread solution to create a framework for application-to-application interaction, we discuss, as a concrete use case, the development of a software system aimed at helping farmers in Sri Lanka to improve the quality of their cultivations and related earnings.

Verb errors are one of the most common grammar errors made by non-native writers of English. This work especially focus on an important type of verb usage errors, subject-verb agreement for the third person singular forms, which has a high proportion in errors made by non-native English learners. Existing work has not given a satisfied solution for this task, in which those using supervised learning method usually fail to output good enough performance, and rule-based methods depend on advanced linguistic resources such as syntactic parsers. In this paper, we propose a rule-based method to detect and correct the concerned errors. The proposed method relies on a series of rules to automatically locate subject and predicate in four types of sentences. The evaluation shows that the proposed method gives state-of-The-Art performance with quite limited linguistic resources.

Alternative systems ranging from self-organized skill sharing to alternative micro-economies have been critical channels of community engagement and bonding. Technology is increasingly playing a role in the way people connect to these services at the (hyper)local level. While there has been considerable research on designing technology to support conventional, established systems of community organization and governance;mobile and ubiquitous technologies offer strong potential for alternative systems to be established in the local level. Do It Yourself (DIY) and maker movements are enabling grassroots activist groups to develop their own technologies or to hack existing tools to support bottom-up systems of self-organization, democracy and commerce. Based on these trends and the recent worldwide economic, political and societal crisis, this workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners and activists to re-envision how HCI tools can support alternative systems of local civic engagement.
