[[Researches]] * WebLEAP.... Web Language Evaluation Assistant Program [#cab5a52a] - A Writer's Assistant -- Takashi YAMANOUE , yamanoue@cc.kagoshima-u.ac.jp -- Toshiro MINAMI,minami@lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp -- Ian RUXTON ,ruxton@dhs.kyutech.ac.jp ** Abstract [#ve8c6db7] - WebLEAP aims to inform people of the existence and the popularity of expressions in the world. It gets an expression as input and returns the frequencies in Web documents of the word sequences extracted from the given expression by using a search engine. The expression and the frequencies are presented graphically so that the user can estimate the result easily and judge with more confidence. ** Examples [#a3090187] - In this example, "my self in times" should be "myself in times", and "mother mary come to" should be "mother Mary comes to". WebLEAP highlights any strange parts of the target phrase or sentence. Frequencies are shown in colored bars, so the user of WebLEAP can recognize these strange parts easily. **Key words [#rda36b90] -- corpus, knowledge acquisition, web mining, web services, e-learning, natural language processing, language teaching Our Picture WebLEAP WebLEAP/WEB, WebLEAP on the Web and its manual by Yoshiaki Matsuda. WebLEAP/DSR, WebLEAP which is embedded in the DSR (Distributed System Recorder). DSR is a computer assisted teaching system for distributed systems. It can also be used as a benchmark test tool for distributed systems. A Manual of the WebLEAP/DSR (in Japanese) DSR, Distributed System Recorder, (dsr.jar, updated 17 Apr. 2004) This includes the latest version of the WebLEAP/DSR. It can be used by the following steps. Install the J2SE or JRE. It can be obtained from java.sun.com. Down load this (dsr.jar). Add the java command path to the "path". for example in the Windows OS, if the J2SE is installed at "c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02", then, do the "set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\bin" in the command window. jar -xvf dsr.jar The command "jar xvf .jar" extracts all files in the .jar. You can also extract the same files by downloading dsr.zip, and unzipping this zip file. cd dsr Change directory to the dsr which is extracted by the previous procedure. java -cp classes:lib application.webleap.WebLEAPFrame WebLEAP/DSR is started by this command. FAQ on WebLEAP Please use the WebLEAP at your own risk. We are improving the WebLEAP now. We welcome your suggestions, requests, comments. ** Papers on the WebLEAP [#f1e87d2f] - Takashi Yamanoue.

The hardest task is to judge whether the expressions at hand are suitable or not. This paper introduces a system that aims to inform people of the existence and the popularity of expressions in the world. It gets an expression as input and returns the frequencies in Web documents of the word sequences extracted from the given expression by using a search engine. The expression and the numbers are presented graphically so that the user can estimate the result easily and judge with more confidence. We demonstrate its usefulness by illustrating several experiments to find suitable expressions, solving some questions and writing this paper itself. From these experiments, we conclude that such a system has high potential and will become an indispensable tool for all writers in the future.
