    An NLP-based 3D scene generation system for children with autism or mental retardation
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Kilicaslan, Yilmaz; Ucar, Ozlem; Guner, Edip Serdar
    It is well-known that people with autism or mental retardation experience crucial problems in thinking and communicating using linguistic structures. Thus, we foresee the emergence of text-to-image conversion systems to let such people establish a bridge between linguistic expressions and the concepts these expressions refer to via relevant images. S2S is such a system for converting Turkish sentences into representative 3D scenes via the mediation of an HPSG-based NLP module. A precursor to S2S, a non-3D version, has been tested with a group of students with autism and mental retardation in a special education center and has provided promising results motivating the work presented in this paper.

    Visualization of Turkish for Autistic and Mentally Retarded Children
    (IEEE, 2008) Kilicaslan, Yilmaz; Ucar, Ozlem; Ucar, Erdem; Guner, Edip Serdar
    The use of software technologies for supporting the education of disabled children continues to increase both in quantity and quality. L2I is a set of computer programs that assists the education and training of autistic and mentally retarded children. These children are known to have difficulties in grasping fairly abstract concepts. L2I is intended to circumvent the abstractness of linguistically encoded conceptual structures via visual images. The software has also the potential to teach and/or assist a variety of basic skills including reading, writing and communicating. Each component constituting L2I has been tested with a group of students with autism and mental retardation in a special education center. In the light of the observations made over these tests, this paper presents how L2I can be benefited from in a special education program.
