Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper analyzes the interaction in a group of students who use instant messaging (IM) Yahoo Messenger to write a sorting algorithm. This analysis aims to identify words in a natural language and the methods of extracting important words, sentences, utterances and implicit links. Words are analyzed in terms of coherence and cohesion in text followed by a combination of words based on different ontologies. Keyword Analysis, searches the words or the sets of words using PolyCAFe system. Studying the relations between words, we can determine the meaning of words using WordNet ontology. The relations between words can rely on Latent Semantic Analysis algorithm that performs association between words in different lines and in the same space. In this paper we introduce the concept of breaks in collaboration analyzed both face to face and one online. Breaks can be viewed as silences, hesitations and can be analyzed from several aspects such as time, participant response.
