Natural language processing (NLP) applications are now more powerful and ubiquitous than ever before. With rapidly developing (neural) models and ever-more available data, current NLP models have access to more information than any human speaker duri
ng their life. Still, it would be hard to argue that NLP models have reached human-level capacity. In this position paper, we argue that the reason for the current limitations is a focus on information content while ignoring language's social factors. We show that current NLP systems systematically break down when faced with interpreting the social factors of language. This limits applications to a subset of information-related tasks and prevents NLP from reaching human-level performance. At the same time, systems that incorporate even a minimum of social factors already show remarkable improvements. We formalize a taxonomy of seven social factors based on linguistic theory and exemplify current failures and emerging successes for each of them. We suggest that the NLP community address social factors to get closer to the goal of human-like language understanding.
The goal beyond this research is to highlight the influence of the social family
factors on the academic excellence of sons. This research sample was on (240) of (408)
male and female students who are in the first, second and the third secondary st
ages for the
school year 2016-2017. For reaching the intended goals of this research, a questionnaire
was adopted as a tool for collecting both the preliminary data and the data related to the
variables of this research. The results of the research assured that the number of the family
members does not have that clear effect on the academic excellence and most of the
students do not get negatively affected by the parental divorce or even by the absence of
one of the parents so this factor does not affect the sons' academic excellence. Also, the
birth order in any student's family does not affect positively or negatively the student's
academic excellence. The good and healthy relationship between the father and the sons
has a clear effect on their academic excellence but, on the other hand, the relationship
between the mother and the sons does not have that clear effect on their academic
excellence. Moreover, this research stated that there is a positive link between the parents'
moderate control and treatment practiced inside the family towards the sons and the sons'
academic excellence. On the other side, this research stated that there is no link between
the parents' dominating control and treatment towards the sons and the sons' academic
excellence.
This study aimed at using Multi-Variables Analysis in classifying household
spending in Syria and identifying which of the social factors considered in the study
influence significantly this classification and which do not.
The most prominent resu
lts were: the possibility of classifying household spending
into three levels (high, medium and low), there is a statistical significance of the factors
(the percentage of urban population to total population, university education and above,
number of married people and those in marriage age ) on the household spending
classification. There is no statistical significance of the factors (educational levels below
university education, non-married people, divorced or being widowed) on the household
spending classification.
This study aims to identify the social and cultural factors that cause violent behavior among school students, the study population included students at the basic education level Episode II (seventh, eighth and ninth grade at secondary level) in Latt
akia State schools in Syrian Arab Republic. The study reveals a correlation between the methods of punishment used by parents with students and their acquisition of violent behavior, and also reveals a relationship between social deprivation in the family and the emergence of violent behavior among students. The study results show that the weakness of the relationship between teacher and pupil affects the emergence of violent behavior among students, and also show that the majority of students in the first group who had violent behavior and the second group who did not exercise their violent behavior, assert the existence of the media role in the acquisition of pupils for violent behavior.
The research tries to define the most important social factors which contribute to the decline of educational achievement in the schools of the first phase of the basic education stage. These factors have been clarified through a theoretical study an
d a field study that was conducted in Lattakia city in the academic year (2011-2012). The theoretical study includes an explanation of the concept of social upbringing of the children, and the educational role that the family plays in the student’s life via the surrounding environment, and the methods of upbringing. The research also shows the importance of social relations at school between the teacher and students, the relation among friends at school in general and the influence of these relations on the students’ achievement. It yielded many results as to the social factors which contribute to the decline of educational achievement, the most prominent of which are: the low social level of the family; separation within the family; incorrect methods of upbringing; the negative effect of the television; abnormal relations with the friends; the passive character of some teachers.
