Subjects: subject: Chemical engineering
subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: Military and planetary application requires high energy density rechargeable battery with an extremely wide operating temperature range. Current rechargeable batteries only operate in a narrow range from -20 ℃ to 60 ℃. Low ionic conductivity of electrolyte and sluggish lithium ion diffusion of electrode at a low temperature, the irreversible phase transition at elevated temperature limit broadening operating temperature range of battery. In this research, a novel zinc battery LiFePO4/Li2ZnCl4.9H2O/Zn with wide operating temperature range between -70 ℃ and 70 ℃ has been developed. The Li2ZnCl4.9H2O electrolyte has very high ionic conductivity at -70 ℃, while the PEDOT coating on LiFePO4 reduce the side reaction at 70 ℃. At 70 ℃, LiFePO4@PEDOT/Li2ZnCl4.9H2O/Zn cells provide a capacity of 130 mAh.g-1 achieved over 20 cycles at 0.3 C, with a high rate capability. It also showed a stable cycling at -70 ℃ with 133 mAh.g-1 for 50 cycles at 0.1 C.

Subjects: subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Parts of Washington, DC are considered a food desert, where people have little or no access to fresh food. As small grocers, marketplaces, and food shops have closed, the remaining options are fast food and convenience store locations, full of processed food. These communities are the result of a society that has come to devalue food, treating it as a commodity instead of essential to life. Historically, society spent more time growing, harvesting, and preparing food. It was the center of social and family life. In order to feed the city in a healthy and long lasting way, agriculture needs to become the center of life again incorporated into all aspects of the urban landscape. Architecture can and should envision, plan, and design the spaces necessary for urban agriculture to succeed. By creating an educational community food center, this thesis seeks to bring people together through an understanding on the land and our dependence on it.

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering
subject: Activism
subject: Digital
subject: Grassroots

description: This thesis responds to the culture of fear and division that is dominating American society today by asking how architecture can better facilitate debate and dialogue in the digital age. It aims to make a place for the often invisible infrastructure of grassroots organizing, in the public realm of the city. It recognizes that today, the public realms of the digital and physical worlds are intertwined, and the conversations and activities that happen on one, inevitably impact the other. By studying and cross comparing the ways we use physical and digital public spaces, we can pursue a more complete and effective model for the design of public urban places - for people from diverse backgrounds, views, and goals, to regularly meet, and engage in civic and community building activity. The design proposal builds on a sensitive and thorough understanding of the layered history of the city of Baltimore, and offers insights for similar postindustrial, gentrifying, politically active cities.
Developmental differences in relations between parent-reported executive function and unitized and non-unitized memory representations during childhood

description: Previous research has documented an association between executive functioning (EF) and memory for bound details. However, it is unknown if this relation varies as a function of the type of bound information (i.e., unitized versus non-unitized) and whether this association changes as a function of age during childhood, when both EF and memory undergo rapid development. The current study sought to address these gaps by examining whether relations between parent-reported EF differed for unitized versus non-unitized memory representations and if these relations differed between children who were 4, 6, or 8 years of age. Results revealed that EF was selectively associated with non-unitized associative memory in 8-year-old children; no significant relations between EF and either memory condition were evident in 4- or 6-year-olds. These results suggest relations between EF and memory may be specific to non-unitized representations and that this association may emerge across childhood as both EF and memory abilities develop.
Enhancing Recovery: Architecture that Heals

Subjects: subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This thesis will explore how architecture and the natural environment can aid in the recovery of one’s health by dissecting the current relationships between landscape and building, and its impact on healing. Traditional relationships of healing are explored to understand how those elements may be incorporated into modern healing.

The project will focus on a design of a rehabilitation and wellness center in Bethesda, Maryland. Due to an existing ‘medical hub’ in the vicinity, the proposed building will assimilate well into the existing program on the site. The design is being approached by understanding what factors can contribute to healing including how views out the window, being immersed in nature, and materiality affect health. Biophilic design, healing gardens, and the senses in architecture are analyzed as means to effectively design healing spaces. Further primary observations of local hospitals and interviews with medical staff were conducted in order to grasp what the needs of the users in these spaces are.
THE IMPACT OF THE SOLVENT BASE FOR A DISPERSANT ON THE EFFICIENCY OF CRUDE OIL DISPERSION
Creators: name: Fernandes III, Jay Clifton
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Chemical engineering
subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: Dispersants used in the mitigation of oil spills are mixtures of amphiphilic molecules (surfactants) dissolved in a solvent. The recent large-scale use of dispersants has raised environmental concerns regarding the safety of these materials. In response to these concerns, our lab has developed a class of eco-friendly dispersants based on mixtures of the food-grade surfactants soy lecithin (L) and Tween 80 (T) in a solvent.  We have shown that these “LT dispersants” are very efficient at dispersing crude oil into seawater. The solvent for dispersants is usually selected based on factors like toxicity, volatility or viscosity of the overall mixture. But with regard to dispersion efficiency of crude oil, the solvent is considered to play a negligible role. In this thesis, we re-examine the role of solvent and show that it can actually have a significant impact on the dispersion efficiency. That is, the dispersion efficiency can be altered from good to poor simply by varying the solvent while keeping the same amounts of surfactants.  We devise a systematic procedure for selecting the optimal solvent by utilizing Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSPs). Our analysis enables us to identify solvents that combine high dispersion efficiency, good solubility of the LT surfactants, a low toxicity profile, and a high flash point.
Zukunftsmusik: prototyping the social and technological construction of space
Creators: name: Trudgeon, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This project investigates shaping the design practice of a trans-disciplinary creative agency through engagement with research and prototyping. The intention has been to identify and test prototyping processes that permit the generation of novel technological and design solutions that are then recognised as valuable to the project clients. The project research explores a central question in the prototyping of new design solutions. That of who is given access to the prototyping processes and how this affects the efficacy and relevance of the processes and the acceptance of the results. The project research describes three successive modes of engaging complex client bodies in innovative designs encompassing customer service in new spatial configurations. The first mode takes client representations at face value, the second engages the wider client in workshops, and the third invol ves the wider client in the inclusive design of full-scale prototypes. The findings suggest that the tangible outcomes of a prototyping process can act as uniquely valuable bridges for introducing and testing new design solutions for clients. These processes help reduce the perceived risk of innovation and promote conversation and dialogue among the diverse and often non-aligned project participants. The project describes ways in which this setting up of the prototyping processes can also contribute significantly to the nature and value of the design outcomes. The prototyping process can begin to act as an idea generator and catalyst. The processes can focus all those involved in contemplating the value of innovation rather than the expressing of concern over the risks involved in addressing change.

Development of a hydroerosion model using a semi-empirical method coupled with an Euler-Euler approach
Creators: name: Rizkalla, Peter
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of the present study was to develop a numerical model that predicts the quantity and location of erosion damage in hydraulic systems susceptible to erosive wear. This model has been integrated into the commercial CFD code ANSYS-CFX, which solves the full Navier-Stokes equations for the turbulent flow field and takes into account the change in geometry by utilising a ‘mesh morphing’ feature. Particles sizes within the sub-micron range and mass loadings of up to 2% were investigated.

Unlike the classical Lagrangian approach of solving the particle equations of motion, both phases were solved using an Eulerian approach whereby a statistical model was necessary to define the particle impact-angle, velocity and mass. An Eulerian approach was favoured in this case not only due to reduced computational time, but also due to the ease of modelling the abrasion mechanism which was found to be the dominant component of wear in the present application.

A slurry jet erosion apparatus was developed in order to evaluate experimentally the parameters influencing the erosion process. The apparatus was based on a closed-loop slurry circuit which was pumped through a converging-diverging throttle before coming into contact with an inclined surface. Four different angles of inclination were investigated ranging between 45 and 90 degrees at intervals of 15 degrees. In addition to this, the effect of test parameters such as slurry velocity, viscosity, particle size and concentration were studied.

All experimental tests were conducted using simplified planar geometries constructed from a chromium-nickel based corrosion-resistant stainless steel typically found in household appliances. The geometries were subject to typical hydro-erosive conditions, such as that used for the deburring of diesel injector spray-holes. The results were used to calibrate the developed erosion model which showed promising trends in comparison with experimental studies for predicting the location and quantity of erosive wear.
Development of FIA techniques for the determination of inorganic and organic phosphonate pesticides in aqueous solutions, and their possible degradation pathways elucidated by 31P NMR
Creators: name: Anod, Abdurahman
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In this study, three different flow injection techniques have been developed for the direct determination of phosphonates, (glyphosate, its degradation product aminomethylphosphonic acid AMPA, inorganic phosphonate and orthophosphate). These techniques employed Spectrophotometric, Electrochemical (EC), and Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detection systems. Both the spectrophotometric and the EC methods used the molybdenum blue chemistry while the ECL technique used Ru(pby)32+. The spectrophotometric method was successfully applied to all four analytes and the EC method was developed for inorganic phosphonate and orthophosphate. However, glyphosate and AMPA was not found to be electro-active under the experimental conditions tested. Since these two phosphonates (glyphosate and AMPA) contain an amine group an ECL technique was successfully developed using Ru(pby)32+. An optimisation procedure was used to determine suitable reaction conditions, which would allow the determination of each analyte in a relatively short period of time.

The criteria for the performance of a particular technique were formulated in terms of signal, peak height, baseline noise, and linearity of the calibration curve. This was achieved by evaluating each reagent and the pH used for analysis of each analyte/s.

For the spectrophotometric and EC techniques an optimum colour development was found to occur at [Mo(VI)] / [H+] ratios of 41 and 100 at pH 0.08 and 0.30 respectively.

Attempts made to discriminate between PO43- and PO33- by changing pH were unsuccessful. However, varying Mo(VI) concentration showed that orthophosphate was only detectable at lower Mo(VI) concentrations, whereas phosphonates were only detectable at Mo(VI) greater than 15mM-Mo(VI). This indicated great potential to discriminate between phosphonates and phosphate. In this regard a mixture of inorganic phosphonates and orthophosphate in artificial creek water was analysed, using two different Mo(VI) concentrations with FIA-EC method. The percent recovery was 106 and 79 for inorganic phosphonate and orthophosphate respectively.

Apart from the method development, degradation of these P-species under artificial UV light and natural sunlight was investigated. The effect of the pH and the presence of iron(II) was also evaluated. It was found that these P-species are susceptible to photodegradation under certain conditions. The rate of degradation depends on the analyte, pH of the solution and presence of iron. The pH plays a major role in the photodegradation of these pesticides and the presence of iron(II) also enhanced the degradation at some pHs while inhibiting it at others. Samples were analysed between 3 to 14 days-time periods with 31P NMR spectroscopy. The appearance of new P-species and disappearance of the original P-species were monitored over the period of the experiment.

Creators: name: Dekiwadia, Chaitali
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Dr Chaitali Dekiwadia has developed a therapeutic approach of targeting gold nanoparticles and proteins to the lysosomes mediated through peptides. She designed and synthesised peptides to deliver a protein-nanoparticle conjugates to the lysosomes penetrating the challenging cell membrane barrier. This novel work has shown for the first time that protein-nanoparticle conjugates could be targeted to lysosomes using short peptides. This peptide-mediated approach could underpin the development of a novel strategy thereby widening the pharmaceutical index for current lysosomal storage diseases.

Distribution of bismuth between copper and FCS slags
Creators: name: Paulina, Lidya
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In this project the distribution ratio of bismuth between copper and FCS slags in the copper-saturated FeOx-CaO-SiO2 system at 1300 oC and an oxygen partial pressure of 10-6 atm was determined by three-phase equilibration studies in which the concentration of bismuth in both slag and copper was kept very small. These conditions were chosen as representative of those applying during continuous copper converting. It is determined that the slag/metal bismuth distribution ratio, LBis/m, depends on the Fe/SiO2 (w/w) ratio of the FCS slag, decreasing as the Fe/SiO2 (w/w) ratio increases. It also depends on the CaO content of the slag, decreasing as the CaO content increases. The calculated distribution ratios were plotted in the form of iso-LBis/m lines on the copper-saturated FeOx-CaO-SiO2 phase diagram presented in the form introduced by Kongoli et al. The activity coefficient of BiO1.5 was then calculated from the distribution ratio data and was also presented as iso-γBiO1.5 lines on the Kongoli form of the copper-saturated FeOx-CaO-SiO2 phase diagram. The trend of the iso-γBiO1.5 lines with composition were compared to the behaviour of known acidic (AsO1.5), basic (PbO) and neutral (SnO, CuO0.5) oxides. It was concluded that BiO1.5 behaves in slags essentially as a neutral metal oxide, although with more basic character than either SnO or CuO0.5.

Abstract
Studies in marine natural products
Creators: name: Reddy, Priyanka
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The focus of this thesis was to study the chemotaxonomic relationship of selected southern Australian marine brown algae of the genera Cystophora and Sargassum. Consequently, this resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of six new terpenoids from two southern Australian marine brown algae Cystophora moniliformis and Sargassum fallax together with 10 previously reported natural products. As a result of the re-isolation of these known secondary metabolites, updated and complete structural characterisation data could be provided for the first time for 7 of these compounds. Chemotaxonomic studies of Cystophora moniliformis resulted in the isolation of two new cyclic epimeric terpene diols moniliforminol A (3.25) and moniliforminol B (3.26), a new linear farnesyl acetone derivative (3.27) and the previously described terpenoids (3.19)-(3.24). This study also resulted in the first complete 2D NMR characterisation for compounds (3.21) to (3.24) as well as the first report of (3.24) occurring as a natural product. All structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis with the relative configurations of (3.25) and (3.26) being established by selective 1D nOe NMR experiments. The proposed biosynthetic pathway for the above compounds has also been described. Chemical investigation of the Southern Australian marine brown alga Sargassum fallax resulted in the isolation of three new meroditerpenoids fallahydroquinone (4.8), fallaquinone (4.9) and fallachromenoic acid (4.10), together with the previously reported compounds sargaquinone (4.1) (isolated and identified in a mixture with sargaquinoic acid), sargahydroquinoic acid (4.2), sargaquinoic acid (4.3) and sargachromenol (4.11). As a result of this study the complete 2D NMR characterisation for sargahydroquinoic acid (4.2) and sargaquinoic acid (4.3) could also be reported for the first time. All structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis. Sargahydroquinoic acid (4.2) and sargaquinoic acid (4.3) displayed moderate antitumour activity.

description: Research data collected in the humanities reveal a tremendous degree of heterogeneity ranging from mere texts in written, spoken, transcribed, or otherwise enriched forms by glosses or handwritten markings, to formal and informal proofs, test series, musical scores, archaeological 3D-models, and e.g. complex multi-layered audio-visual annotated corpus collections. A central argument brought forward in the humanities, is that high quality data is expensive to collect, but easy to exploit by others even if one’s own research is not finished. This paper suggests a possible solution to humanities projects in general and the annotation
of words in large text corpora in particular, in which very specific requirements needed impinge on applying standard computational methods ready to use.
As a case in point, high quality annotations of texts are time- and resource-intensive and hence expensive. Even if sufficient funds are supplied for manual tagging -- still the gold standard of annotating texts -- it remains an error-prone process, in which quality control soon reaches its limits. In addition, often a very limited number of users are in need of particular annotations required for very
particular research questions so that economies of scale and scope of a larger
research community could not easily be exploited. This paper addresses this issue taking into account research from Social Psychology and considering the specific properties of texts. As a result of the interdisciplinary analyses, the design of a web architecture is suggested that has the potential of overcoming the above mentioned dilemma and significantly improve the quality of text annotations.

description: Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) after anthropogenic disturbance could reduce uncertainties in the carbon budget of terrestrial ecosystems and provide critical information to policy makers. Yet, the loss of carbon due to forest disturbance and the gain from post-disturbance recovery have not been sufficiently assessed. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was first conducted to investigate: (1) the influence of incidence angle and soil moisture on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter; (2) the feasibility of cross-image normalization between multi-temporal and multi-sensor SAR data; and (3) the possibility of applying normalized backscatter data to detect forest biomass changes. An empirical model was used to reduce incidence angle effects, followed by cross-image normalization procedure to lessen soil moisture effect. Changes in forest biomass at medium spatial resolution (100 m) were mapped using both spaceborne and airborne SAR data. Results indicate that (1) the effect of incidence angle on SAR backscatter could be reduced to less than 1 dB by the correction model for airborne SAR data; (2) over 50% of the changes in SAR backscatter due to soil moisture could be eliminated by the cross-image normalization procedure; and (3) forest biomass changes greater than 100 Mg·ha−1 or above 50% of 150 Mg·ha−1 are detectable using cross-normalized SAR data.

description: Forschung in den Digital Humanities (DH) erfordert die Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Disziplinen aus Geistes- und Kultur-, Ingenieur- und Informationswissenschaften. Die Fragestellungen die sich dabei aus geisteswissenschaftlicher Perspektive stellen, werfen dabei auch neue Forschungsfragen gerade für die eher angewandten Teilgebiete der Informatik auf.
Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Nachwuchsforschergruppe, die Medienrepositorien historischer Photographien, Zeichnungen und Plänen um räumlich-zeitliche Zugänge erweitert. Es werden Methoden entwickelt um historische Abbildungen von Gebäuden in ein räumliches und zeitliches Modell einzubringen und dieses für architekturwissenschaftliche Forschung zugänglich zu machen. Am Beispiel Dresdner Stadtgeschichte werden Forschungsfragen der Geschichtswissenschaften, Photogrammetrie, Bildungswissenschaften und verschiedenen Bereichen der Informatik bearbeitet.
Self-orienting individuals : subjectivity and contemporary liberal individualism
Creators: name: Scerri, Andrew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis addresses both theories and practices of subjectivity in Anglo-American societies into the twenty-first century. The central argument is that one dominant subjectivity that has emerged in these societies centres on a deep-seated, almost irreconcilable tension. On the one hand, persons experience relatively heightened desires for unbounded lifestyles amidst relatively high levels of affluence and consumption. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the education, skills, and dispositions that persons assume in social worlds make desiring problematic. For example, high-level consumption or workplace flexibility are not necessarily seen as desirable things, yet appear to envelop contemporary lifestyles. Individuated desires form key aspects of an Anglo-American 'way-of-life', but a liberal individualism that emphasizes personal capacities and responsibilities, 'self-improvement' and 'well-being' has arisen, and this makes resolving ethical and existential dilemmas difficult. That is, many worldly dilemmas - concerns with material security, social justice, the environment, or nutrition, for example - seem irreconcilable to the liberal individualism that is 'lived' as subjectivity 'on the ground'. The thesis synthesizes social anthropology and social theory to ground its claims about the empirical world that sees subjectivity as 'being' human for particular social worlds. The approach is designed to look at situations that call upon self-orienting individuals, in order to explain how these represent the form of life that an 'immediate' self-projecting and orienting, self-asserting and 'creative' dominant subjectivity takes in Anglo-American societies. The argument develops a number of examples in the context of a theory-based approach in two registers: normative and ontological. Inquiry over an ontological register discusses the social formation of subjectivity in relation to the 'cat egories' of spatiality, temporality, embodiment, and institutionality, and the social constitution of subjectivity over coeval somatic, practical-ethological, and reflexive 'layers of affect'. Inquiry over a normative register discusses practical and discursive conditions, and relates the overall argument to a critique of normativity based in the claim that 'being' requires that norm-based and relational contexts can affectively 'legitimate' ongoing sociality. In summary, the thesis has two dimensions. It argues that this dominant subjectivity moves between sovereign desires for satisfactions and their atomized dissatisfactions, and turns on a sustained deferral of worldly dilemmas irreconcilable to the liberal individualism that is seen to both anchor and impel ongoing sociality. Secondly, it suggests that we need to rethink theories of subjectivity in order to understand better this new dominant form of life.
End-to-End Multimodal Learning for Situated Dialogue Systems

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: Virtual assistants have become an essential part in many people’s lives today. These dialogue systems perform services given users’ voice commands, such as controlling devices, searching for information, or performing conversational tasks such as booking of events or navigation instruction. However, today’s dialogue systems face challenges, because (1) they are implemented using a pipeline of multiple independently optimized modules which do not necessarily provide the best performance when integrated together and (2) they are limited to utilizing only unimodal input, i.e. speech input from the user. The modularized system design induces a disconnect between each module’s and the quality of the overall dialogue system, and it also makes it difficult to update the entire system for a new task as every module will need to be changed. While the multimodal context contains rich information of the users and their surrounding environments, many dialogue systems in today’s virtual assistants interact with the users utilizing only their language input via a speech interface. As dialogue systems only utilize speech input, they are unable to provide services which require understanding the user or environmental context, for example conversing with a user regarding their physical surroundings. In this thesis, we mitigate the limitations of prior dialogue systems in two ways: (1) we propose an end-to-end model which fuses the separate components in a standard spoken dialogue system together and (2) we leverage multimoal contextual cues from the user andphysical surroundings. We introduce end-to-end learning for scalable dialogue state tracking, where the model directly predicts dialogue states from natural language input and can handle unseen slot values. We enhance our speech recognition system using multimodal input with the target speaker’s mouth movements and learned speaker embedding to improve robustness in noisy cocktail party environments. Finally, we apply end-to-end and multimodal learning on two situated dialogue tasks: vision-grounded instruction following and video question answering. The situated dialogue model directly takes as input the multimodal language and visual context from the user and the environment, and outputs system actions or natural language responses. Compared to prior methods, our proposed situated dialogue systems showed improved speech recognition accuracy, dialog state tracking accuracy, task success rate and response generation quality.

description: This paper presents ongoing work on investigating text mining by scientific workflows and hypotheses testing by computer simulation as new digital methods in the digital humanities and particularly in the literary studies. In the course of the eXplore! project, the methods are developed for analyzing autobiographic texts and particularly for investigating the diaries of Klaus Mann, a famous German writer, with regards to the influences on the writer’s literary productivity. Text mining is used to build up a data basis for an agent-based model that can be used in simulation studies to answer what-if-questions about a writer’s creative writing processes. A further focus is put on the reusability of these methods to facilitate an application beyond the project’s pilot study. For this purpose, we model and apply scientific workflows, populate a repository of proven workflows, and investigate an approach to reuse assistance by case-based reasoning.

Discourses of the standard: critical discourse analysis of the Forest Stewardship Council and the Australian Forestry Standard
Creators: name: Taylor, Chris
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis critically analyses the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS). These standards have been used to certify Australian forests and plantations under their respective schemes. The standards are chosen as the objects of study because claims of ‘responsible’ or ‘sustainably managed forests’ are based on compliance with these standards, which are recognised by organisations administering ‘green’ rating tools and guidance on the procurement of wood products. This research provides for a critical understanding of these standards. In this thesis, four levels of Critical Discourse Analysis are undertaken: the first level consists of analysing social structures and networks of social practices that enable and constrain the production of the standards; the second level consists of analysing the specific social practices and orders of discourse that mediate between these structures and networks and the texts of the standards; the third level consists of the textual analysis of the standards; and the fourth level consists of a comparison of language use and structure, which reveal that a particular standard is but one realization from a total potential. Previous methods of comparative analysis on the standards of the FSC and AFS, along with other forest certification schemes, have reflected the values of specific stakeholder interests on what constitutes a preferred standard. In contrast, this thesis argues that each forest certification scheme’s standard is the result of specific discursive and linguistic choices made in the process of its development, which are motivated by the values of specific stakeholder interests. The structure and use of language in the standards will ultimately determine the manner in which forest management is assessed and claims of ‘well managed forests’ or ‘sustainably managed forests’ are communicated.

description: Zwar hat sich die elektronische Datenverarbeitung etwa im Rahmen der Archivierung, der Kategorisierung und der Suche von bzw. in Texten allgemein durchgesetzt, allerdings können deren Verfahren bisher nur bedingt auf eine Ebene des Textverständnisses vordringen. Es existieren keine Algorithmen, die menschliche Interpretation auf Subtextebene zufriedenstellend imitieren könnten. Unter Subtext wird hier eine Bedeutungsebene verstanden, die der expliziten Aussage eines Textes als zusätzliche Ausdrucksdimension unterlegt ist. Von Seiten der Computerphilologie sind bisher einzig Textanalyse und -interpretation unterstützende Verfahren entwickelt worden, die lediglich auf der Sprachoberfläche Anwendung finden (Jannidis, 2010). Von Seiten der Computerlinguistik und der Informatik existieren hingegen Text-Retrieval-Systeme, die den groben Inhalt von Texten erfassen (Manning et al., 2008). Dabei erfolgt jedoch keine ‚echte‘ Interpretation, die die impliziten Aussagen des Textes erfassen und damit die Ableitung neuen Wissens ermöglichen könnte. Aufbauend auf der 2016 vorgestellten formalen Subtextanalyse (Klimczak, 2016) erscheint aber ein algorithmisiertes Verfahren zur Rekonstruktion von komplexen Semantiken narrativer Gebrauchstexte möglich, welches die bestehenden Verfahren sowohl der Computerphilologie als auch der Computerlinguistik qualitativ übertreffen könnte, indem es hermeneutische Zugänge für informationstechnische Forschung erschließt.
