Scope
The scope: Development of Estonian Interlanguage Corpus (Eesti Vahekeele Korpus, http://evkk.tlu.ee, EIC) and services based on it.
EIC – collection of written texts produced by the learners of the Estonian as a second and foreign language.
Size: 12 000 texts, 3 400 000 tokens
Links to EIC:• ICLE – The International Corpus of Learner English, Université
catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium); Learner corpora around the worldhttps://www.uclouvain.be/en-cecl-lcworld.html

![Page 11: 2015-11-18 research seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb28b1a28ab35038b45bf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Research topics/questions
1. Comparative empirical study of L2 Estonian and standard Estonian; automatic processing of written texts of Estonian learner language.
2. Constraints on lexical, morphological and morpho-syntactic variability.
3. Morpho-syntactic complexity of language use and lexical richness of learners in order to develop CEFR proficiency level characterizations, and study how the second language proficiency develops from one level to the next.
4. Linguistic and language technology modeling of language proficiency levels, gross-linguistics influence.
5. Written Estonian analysis and it’s perspectives for pedagogical purposes.

The major technical problems currently
1. Some inefficient algorithms and queries for big data.
2. Weak server for bigger use.
3. Relatively slow web access to text analysing tool Estmorf.
Possible solution:Complete rewriting the code, redesigning the user interface and data
structures.

Planned: development of EIC 2.0
1. Self-learning and text analysing platform: statistics, similarities, groupings, word ordering, faulty text recognition, patterns finding.
2. Connections to learning environments and speller.
3. Training materials and exercises preparation and analyse.
4. Language level analyse, metadata guessing.
5. Interoperability with other language resources.
Additionally: Further development of software applications that are currently on prototype level – Robust Lemmatizer, Word Order Finder and Cluster Catcher – and integrating them into an interoperable web service for determining and testing the linguistic profile of the language proficiency level, as well for instructing the independent users.

The request for cooperation
1. Compose an overview of the current stand of R&D in smart houses (SH).
2. Propose possible joint – between TLU and the CC – R&D activities.
3. Compose an overview of SH solutions currently offered by Estonian enterprises, and of their possible development trends.
4. Propose ideas/topics to the enterprises for possible joint – TLU, CC, enterprises – development projects.
5. Propose principles for experimenting and testing new SH solutions.
![Page 31: 2015-11-18 research seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58eeb28b1a28ab35038b45bf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Our approach
Current definition: A smart house (SH) is a house that has highly advanced automatic systems for lighting, temperature control, multi-media, security, window and door operations, and many other functions.
A SH is considered as a technical/technological system (domotics = home automation).
We consider a SH as a socio-technical system which includes both the technological systems, as well as people and their interactions.
NB! The focus of the people and on their needs.

32
Our possible contribution
1. Analysis of the development trends and development of new SH solutions.
2. Adaptation of workplace-based learning solutions for SH context, taking also into account telework/telecommuting/remote work (kaugtöö) aspects.
3. Development of interactive solutions that react on behavior (inc gestures) and physiological data of persons – extension of human-computer interaction to human-house interaction (HCI HHI).
