Automatic term extraction (ATE) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) task that eases the effort of manually identifying terms from domain-specific corpora by providing a list of candidate terms. As units of knowledge in a specific field of expertise, extracted terms are not only beneficial for several terminographical tasks, but also support and...

In cognitive science, it is unclear what precisely presence (both in the sense of objecthood and immersion) refers to in lived experience.

A hundred and seventeen phenomenological interviews were conducted with 14 participants. We sampled...

The aim of this study is to investigate lived space – that is, space as it appears in experience – in alterations of presence. A transdiagnostic approach was undertaken.
