In this thesis, I pinpoint the challenge of character learning as my research problem, which is the subsequent motivation to explain the background and rationale of my research. I also discuss the theoretical concepts of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in relation to cognitive psychology, the constructivist learning theory and Second Language Acquisition theories. This leads to the presentation of my considerations regarding design principles, strategic approach and other relevant decisions. The multimedia project I designed, named the “Chinese Character Challenger”, a “supplementary courseware for assisting students learning characters”, is an informational and educational-oriented website. It provides learners with the necessary knowledge, hints, tips and sources to cope with their specific learning problems and to achieve their learning potential. It also introduces external resources of learning if learners need further research. The purpose of the website is to assist, to motivate and to further guide students’ learning. To conclude, I have discussed some open issues with regards to adding value in the learning environment.

Abstract:
The central core of this thesis is recognition of Chinese characters, integrated by ten experiments of four main themes. The first theme is hemispheric lateralisation of the length effect in Chinese character recognition. The second theme is to investigate this bilateral effect with Chinese characters presented on both visual fields simultaneously. The outcome confirmed that there was indeed a bilateral advantage found from male Chinese readers. For this group of subjects, the longer the stimuli were, the more bilateral collaboration was found, and the collaboration of bilateral presentation took the least response latency in the lexical decision task than any other unilateral presentation. The third theme of this thesis was to the recognition process, holistic or component, while recognizing Chinese characters. The method was taken from the experiment of Face Illusion (Thompson, 1980, quote from Bruce, V. and Young, A., 1998) in which the eyes of Margaret Thatcher’s portrait were turned upside down and the whole portrait was then inverted again for subjects to recognise. In our own experiment, we replicated the methodology and changed Chinese characters by inverting the phonetic or semantic radicals and then turned the whole character around. The results showed no support for the componential processing hypothesis. The fourth theme of the thesis was a self-collection of errors made by slips of the eyes in reading vertically written Chinese. We presented nine types of reading errors in a chart with examples of each type.

Abstract:
Image recognition applications have been increasingly gaining popularity, as computer hardware was getting more powerful and cheaper. This increase in computational resources, led researchers even closer to their target on creating algorithms that could achieve high accuracy in image recognition tasks. These algorithms are applied in many different fields, such as in medical images analysis and object recognition in real-time applications.Previously studies have shown that among many image recognition algorithms, artificial neural networks and specifically deep neural networks, perform outstandingly due to their ability to recognize extremely accurate patterns, shapes and specific characteristics in an image.In this thesis project we are going to investigate a specialized type of Deep Neural Networks, called Convolutional Neural Networks or CNNs, which are designed specifically for image recognition tasks. Furthermore we will analyze their hyper parameters, as well as explore different architectures, in order to understand how these affect the accuracy and speed of the recognition. Finally we will present the results of the different tests, in terms of accuracy and validate them according to specific statistical metrics. For the purpose of our research, a data-set of handwritten Chinese characters was used.

Abstract:
The research reported here attempts to identify those reading processes common to both alphabetic readers and readers of Chinese logographic characters, and those processes unique to Chinese reading. Three types of evidence are presented: (1) experimental studies of normal Chinese readers; (2) clinical and experimental investigations of Chinese patients with acquired dyslexic symptoms; (3) a survey of developmental dyslexia in China. Like alphabetic readers, Chinese readers show independent procedures for mapping from orthography to meaning and from orthography to sound. Also like alphabetic readers, the mapping to sound can be accomplished by both a lexical and a sublexical procedure. The special characteristics of Chinese script are analysed and their significance in reading processes are revealed. The research is presented in six chapters. Chapter 1 is the background of this study which contains a general review of reading studies of Chinese and other scripts, the main theoretical issues and the objectives of this study. Chapter 2 presents a new analysis of statistical properties of Chinese characters including the consistency of phonetic radicals. Chapter 3 presents experiments on reading Chinese characters by normal Chinese readers. In these studies, phonological recoding is demonstrated; the lateralization of reading Chinese characters is investigated; and finally, the errors of normal subjects' reading is examined. Chapter 4 contains a clinical study on Chinese acquired dyslexic patients. In this study, several Chinese acquired dyslexic symptoms are reported for the first time. Analogues of surface and deep dyslexia in Chinese patients are described for the first time. This supports the idea of independent lexical and sublexical procedures for mapping from orthography to sound. However, Chinese surface and deep dyslexia show features distinct from their alphabetic counterparts. In addition, it is also revealed that there are some special dyslexic symptoms which are predictable from the characteristics of Chinese script which I term associative dyslexia and compound dyslexia. Chapter 5 contains a survey on developmental dyslexia among 8106 Chinese pupils in which the ratio of developmental dyslexia is found to be lower (1.92%) than in alphabetic children. Chapter 6 presents the theoretical implications of the studies taken together for Chinese reading and for reading generally.

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a type of reverse Turing test that distinguishes between computers and humans by employing challenge-response tests that most humans can pass easily, but current computer programs cannot solve. reCAPTCHA is a hybrid mechanical turk and CAPTCHA that allows players who complete the CAPTCHA to assist recognition of the characters that are difficult to existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) techniques. While the conventional CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA use English characters and numbers, in this study, we propose a novel CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, called CCAPTCHA and Chinese reCAPTCHA, based on Chinese characters. The proposed schemes exploit the composition of Chinese characters, and they can be solved by players using their observation skills, even if players do not have a Chinese language background. We implemented the CCAPTCHA scheme on Facebook, and conducted a 30-day experiment. Based on the results, we find that the CCAPTCHA scheme can achieve an accuracy rate of 63.5%, and the rate can be further improved to 90%, as long as the puzzles are designed with strategies. Moreover, we evaluate the Chinese reCAPTCHA scheme using simulations, and find that most puzzles can converge to the correct Chinese characters within 90 rounds. The proposed schemes are simple, effective, and favorable as an alternative CAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA solution for online services and emerging mobile Internet applications.

In addition to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, Chinese characters are used in other places within the Chinese cultural sphere, such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc. However, their structure and meaning change with time and space and area to area. Traditional Chinese characters and Japanese Chinese characters share similar structures but clearly differ upon closer examination. Due to the high similarity, Japanese students studying Chinese in Taiwan often use Japanese Chinese characters instead of traditional Chinese characters. Therefore, this study aims to compare the structure of both traditional Chinese characters and Japanese Chinese characters, propose a teaching design and method according to the different types of Chinese characters, and finally examine the teaching results for a helpful teaching project and study results for Japanese students learning traditional Chinese characters. Regarding the design of the study, the traditional Chinese characters on the List of Kanji Designated for Everyday Use and the corresponding Japanese Chinese characters listed new words in Chinese teaching materials were first located. After analyzing the similarities and differences, three Japanese Chinese experts were interviewed regarding the Chinese character learning experiences regarding the progress and difficulty of learning traditional Chinese characters. We then carry out a Chinese character teaching session. To effectively capture the teaching results, the study opts for the ADDIE module for the design of a Chinese character teaching class. By adding character structure comparison, memorization and writing, review, and induction into the teaching session, Japanese students are expected to realize the differences between Chinese characters and Japanese Chinese characters through observation, use, and writing the correct traditional Chinese characters, as well as applying the correctly learned traditional Chinese characters to new words.

“Simplified Character” generally refers to Chinese characters with reduced strokes and simple structure, yet specifically refers to Simplified Characters included in “The Complete List of Simplified Chinese Character” in Mainland China. It was promulgated by Mainland China in 1986 and has been around for 33 years. Such character list is divided into three lists. The first list contains 350 Simplified Characters which could not be used as simplified component. Whilst the second list contains 132 characters and 14 components which both could be used as simplified component. And the third list contains 1753 Simplified Characters which generated from the utilization of the second list and do not include the repeated characters. Variant Character generally refers to “Partial Variant Character” and “Complete Variant Character”, yet specifically only refers to “Complete Variant Character”. The “Partial Variant Character” refers to the Chinese characters with difference appearance, but with partially same pronunciation, meaning, and usage, including some “Loan Character” and “Ancient-Modern Character”. The “Complete Variant Character” refers to the Chinese characters with difference appearance, but with completely same pronunciation, meaning, and usage. This thesis mainly explores the phenomenon of Variant Chinese Character throughout Simplified Chinese Character, consists of five chapters. The first chapter “Introduction”, which introduces research motive and purpose, literature review and discussion, research scope, research procedures and methods. The second chapter “Simplified Chinese Character”, introduces the definition, aliases, classification, development of Simplified Chinese Character, and the rules and regulations of Simplified Chinese Character which currently used in Mainland China. The third chapter “The Investigation of the Origin of Simplified Chinese Character”, it analyses the creation and the regulation of Simplified Chinese Character by observing the evolution of Standard Chinese Character, Variant Chinese Character, Simplified Chinese Character and implementing the classification and the arrangement of Variant Chinese Character. The fourth chapter “Variant Chinese Character”, introduces the definition, aliases, classification of Variant Chinese Character, and the relationship between Variant Chinese Character and “Loan Character”, “Ancient-Modern Character”, “Differentiation Character” Simplified Chinese Character. The fifth chapter “An Example of Variant Chinese Characters’ Development”, it analyses the evolution of 10 different Variant Chinese Characters which related to Simplified Chinese Characters. The last chapter “Conclusion” concludes the research result of Variant Chinese Characters and Simplified Chinese Characters.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores the global history of Chinese script reforms—the effort to phoneticize Chinese language and/or simplify the writing system—from its inception in the 1890s to its demise in the 1980s. These reforms took place at the intersection of industrialization, colonialism, and new information technologies, such as alphabet-based telegraphy and breakthroughs in printing technologies. As these social and technological transformations put unprecedented pressure on knowledge management and the use of mental and clerical labor, many Chinese intellectuals claimed that learning Chinese characters consumed too much time and mental energy. Chinese script reforms, this dissertation argues, were an effort to increase speed in producing, transmitting, and accessing information, and thus meet the demands of the industrializing knowledge economy. The industrializing knowledge economy that this dissertation explores was built on and sustained by a psychological understanding of the human subject as a knowledge machine, and it was part of a global moment in which the optimization of labor in knowledge production was a key concern for all modernizing economies. While Chinese intellectuals were inventing new signs of inscription, American behavioral psychologists, Soviet psycho-economists, and Central Asian and Ottoman technicians were all experimenting with new scripts in order to increase mental efficiency and productivity. This dissertation reveals the intimate connections between the Chinese and non-Chinese script engineering projects that were taking place synchronically across the world. The chapters of this work demonstrate for the first time, for instance, that the simplification of Chinese characters in the 1920s and 1930s was intimately connected to the discipline of behavioral psychology in the US. The first generation of Chinese psychologists employed the American psychologists’ methods to track eye movements, count word-frequencies, and statistically analyze the speed of reading, writing, and memorizing in order to simplify and “rationalize” the Chinese writing system in an effort to discipline and optimize mental labor. Other chapters explore the issue of mental and clerical optimization by finding the origins of the Chinese Latin Alphabet (CLA), the mother of pinyin, in hitherto unknown Eurasian connections. The CLA, the pages of this work shows, was the product of a transnational exchange that involved Ottoman and Transcaucasian typographers as well as Russian engineers and Chinese communists who sought efficiency in knowledge production through inventing new scripts. Situating the Chinese script reforms at this global intersection of psychology, economy, and linguistics, this dissertation examines the global connections and forces that turned the human subject into a knowledge worker who was cognitively managed through education, literacy, propaganda, and other measures of organizing information, all of which had the script at the center. The search for efficiency and productivity—the core values of industrialism—lay at the heart of script reforms in China, but this search was inseparable from linguistic orders and political ambitions. Even if writing, transmitting, and learning a phonetic script could theoretically be easier and more efficient than the Chinese characters, the alphabet opened a veritable Pandora’s Box around the issue of selection: given the complex linguistic landscape in China, which speech was a phonetic script supposed to represent? There were myriad languages spoken throughout the empire and the subsequent nation-state, most of which were mutually incomprehensible. Mandarin as spoken in Beijing was different from that spoken in the south, and “topolects” or regional languages such as Min or Cantonese were to Mandarin what Romanian is to English. As a linguistic life-or-death issue, phonetic scripts stood for the infrastructural possibilities and limitations in the representation of speeches. Some scripts, such as Lao Naixuan’s phonetic script composed of more than a hundred signs, were capable of representing multiple Mandarin and non-Mandarin speeches; whereas others, such as Phonetic Symbols that only has thirty-seven syllabic signs, represented only one speech, i.e., Mandarin. Using Mandarin-oriented scripts to transcribe non-Mandarin speeches was like writing English with fifteen letters, hence the acrimonious disputes that fill the pages of this dissertation. Succinctly put, it was at the level of script invention that Chinese and non-Chinese actors engineered different infrastructures not only for laboring minds but also for the social world of Chinese languages. The history of information technologies and knowledge economy in China was thus inseparable from the world of speech and language, as each script offered a new potential to reassemble the written matter and the speaking mind in a different way. “Codes of Modernity” thus conceptualizes the script itself as an infrastructural medium. A script was not merely a passive carrier of information, but an existential artifact. Building on an expanding literature on infrastructures, it endorses the observation that infrastructures, technologies, and the social world around them work in a recursive loop. An infrastructure is not just the physical object that permits the flow of information, goods, ideas, and people, but a sociotechnical product that enables the experience of culture, while imposing constrains on it at the same time. Like electricity grids, transportation systems, and sewage canals, the experience of scripts as infrastructures is the experience of thought worlds. After a long tradition of structuralism and poststructuralism that sought to understand the world through the semiotic prism of language, “Codes of Modernity” argues that it is time for an infrastructuralism that excavates the indispensable media that enable the production of language and thought.

A phono-semantic compounds character is a type of Chinese characters consisting of a semantic radical and a phonetic radical (Chapter 1). The semantic radical, or a classifier indicates an intellectual, universal concept (Chapter 2); on the other hand, the phonetic radical indicates a Chinese monosyllabic sound, evoking a sensuous, concrete sense image in Chinese speakers (Chapter 3). Therefore, it can be said that a phono-semantic compounds character is a place in which an intellectual, universal concept indicated by the semantic radical and a sensuous, concrete sense image evoked by the Chinese monosyllabic sound meet, or a stage on which the intellectual, universal concept, being linked to the sensuous, concrete sense image, is “re-presented” (this and below contents in Chapter 4). Linking an intellectual, universal concept to a sensuous, concrete sense image, what a phono-semantic compounds character re-presents is an “event” happening in this real world in time or an actual thing (energeia) we meet in this event. This structure and mechanism of phono-semantic compounds characters are corresponding to those of what is called “Chinese,” consisting of two types of cognitive system: the system of Chinese characters (semantic radicals), which visually indicates an intellectual, universal concept and the system of (phonetic) Chinese language, which evokes a sensuous, concrete sense image in the speakers.

China is more and more influential internationally since its social reform and opening up. It’s also very like for the country to become the next super power in the global stage. Geographically, Taiwan is very close to Chine, though the cross straight relation has always been tensional, the political conflict still couldn’t stop the growing interaction between China and Taiwan both in economical and social field. This will certainly increase the chance of negotiation among the two political entities in the foreseeable future, thus to analyze and understand the perspective and character of China’s negotiation scheme is crucial for Taiwanese to ensure the interests. This thesis utilizes literature discussion of both eastern and western researches toward China''s negotiation, with traditional negotiation theory to conclude the specific style and strategy when Chinese process negotiations. The discovery is that the Chinese negotiation has its own features. It focuses on order, process and the maximum control of every detail in a negotiation. This specific style is influenced mainly by two factors: diplomatic experience with western world and Marxism-Leninism. Beyond that, what shapes China’s negotiation scheme are still its own political tradition and cultural heritage. When negotiating, China often adapts aggressive tactics to manipulate medias and play the words. This matches the communists’ view to treat negotiation as an approach of fighting but not a method to solve the problems. However, China is more generous to the third world countries, willing to compromise and maintain relationships with them. It’s all because the traditional political mindset of the responsibility of a great country. These culture and political traditions heavily influence China’s negotiation behavior. This thesis tries to analyze and understand China’s negotiation characters to help Taiwan to gain advantages when we meet China in negotiation.

The main purpose of this paper is to improve Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition and traditional, non-modern Printed Chinese Character Recognition problem. By using the existing different style of Chinese font resources in computer system and online sources, we take most commonly used 5000 and 10000 words, then do several data deformation and preprocessing by image processing skills to produce training data. Combined with the technology of Convolutional Neural Networks in machine learning, we trained a distinguished model which can be used to recognize handwritten and printed Chinese character both. The main goal of this paper is to find the valid training features, optimize parameters and fine tune our model to get a better performance. The results of this paper mainly include: (1) How to train a model which can recognize both the handwritten font and the printed font simultaneously on by existing computer word font. (2) For the printed Chinese character font, we mainly focus on early traditional printed fonts, and improves the recognition problems, such as rare Chinese characters recognition and characters easily damaged or blur in the original text. (3) We conduct our experiments with the Beijing Civil News, the Biansha Tibetan Buddhist Dharma and the 2013 CASIA handwritten Chinese character public test set. The results show that the model and method we proposed in this paper can reach the accuracy of 69.9% on News, 89.29% on Buddhist Dharma, and 58.27% on handwriting testing set. Compared with the existing common OCR recognition software, our model can improve the accuracy about 2~3%. Key Word : HCCR、PCCR、Image Processing、Machine Learning、Convolutional Neural Networks
