Toward entity retrieval over structured and text data

by Mayssam Sayyadian, Azadeh Shakery, Anhai Doan, Chengxiang Zhai - In WIRD’04 , 2004
"... Many real-world applications increasingly involve both structured data and text. Hence, managing both in an efficient and integrated manner has received much attention from both the IR and database communities. To date, however, little research has been devoted to semantic issues in the integration ..."

case study of retrieving information about a researcher from both the Web and a bibliographic database (DBLP). We propose several methods for exploiting the structured information in the database to improve entity retrieval over the text collection. Specifically, we present a query expansion mechanism

Instance pruning by filtering uninformative words: an Information Extraction case study

by Alfio Massimiliano Gliozzo, Claudio Giuliano, Raffaella Rinaldi - In Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics (CICLing-2005 , 2005
"... Abstract. In this paper we present a novel instance pruning technique for Information Extraction (IE). In particular, our technique filters out uninformative words from texts on the basis of the assumption that very frequent words in the language do not provide any specific information about the tex ..."

Extracting event-related information from article updates in wikipedia

by Mihai Georgescu, Nattiya Kanhabua, Daniel Krause, Wolfgang Nejdl, Stefan Siersdorfer - In Proceedings of ECIR ’13 , 2013
"... Abstract. Wikipedia is widely considered the largest and most up-to-date online encyclopedia, with its content being continuously maintained by a supporting community. In many cases, real-life events like new sci-entific findings, resignations, deaths, or catastrophes serve as triggers for collabora ..."

can be employed for automatically detecting event-related updates. Our experiments on event extraction, clustering, and summarization show promising results towards generating entity-specific news tickers and timelines. 1

Remembering over the short-term: The case against the standard model.

by James S Nairne - Annual Review of Psychology, , 2002
"... s Abstract Psychologists often assume that short-term storage is synonymous with activation, a mnemonic property that keeps information in an immediately accessible form. Permanent knowledge is activated, as a result of on-line cognitive processing, and an activity trace is established "in&quo ..."

Detection of genre-specific musical instruments: The case of the mellotron

by Carlos Gustavo, Román Echeverri, Perfecto Herrera
"... When facing the problem of organizing, categorizing, browsing and retrieving data from large music collections, musical instruments play a predominant role, as they define the timbral qualities in any piece of music. Recent technological developments in digital audio have made possible to automatize ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
, based on the idea that it is possible to train classifiers with audio descriptors (temporally integrated from the raw feature values extracted from polyphonic audio data) using extensive datasets. A series of experiments were designed in order to gather information about the specific descriptors

Fact-Focused Novelty Detection: a Feasibility Study ABSTRACT

by Jahna Otterbacher
"... Methods for detecting sentences in an input document set, which are both relevant and novel with respect to an information need, would be of direct benefit to many systems, such as extractive text summarizers. However, satisfactory levels of agreement between judges performing this task manually hav ..."

Mining Console Logs for Large-Scale System Problem Detection

by Wei Xu, Ling Huang Arm
"... The console logs generated by an application contain messages that the application developers believed would be useful in debugging or monitoring the application. Despite the ubiquity and large size of these logs, they are rarely exploited in a systematic way for monitoring and debugging because the ..."

they are not readily machine-parsable. In this paper, we propose a novel method for mining this rich source of information. First, we combine log parsing and text mining with source code analysis to extract structure from the console logs. Second, we extract features from the structured information in order to detect

Using the NITE XML Toolkit on the Switchboard Corpus to study syntactic choice: a case study
