Expansion of query keywords based on semantic relationship is an effective approach to improve the performance of text retrieval. In this paper, a novel approach for text retrieval is presented. The principle of the approach is to construct a integrated semantic tree, and select candidate keywords from the tree. On the tree, all nodes are weighted based on synonymy, hypernymy, and Mutual Information...
A common strategy to assign keywords to documents is to select the most appropriate words from the document text. One of the most important criteria for a word to be selected as keyword is its relevance for the text. The tf.idf score of a term is a widely used relevance measure. While easy to compute and giving quite satisfactory results, this measure does not take (semantic) relations between words...
Computational complexity is one of the most important issues in any machine-learning algorithm. A novel working set selection mechanism is proposed to improve Support Vector Machine (SVM) learning. Implementation is based on the Keerthi et al.'s SMO algorithm, but our approach is one-class classification. When selecting samples for the optimization process, much effort is spent to find the most violating...
This paper evaluates CONSPECT, a service that analyses states in a learner's conceptual development. It combines two technologies - Latent Semantic Analysis to analyse text and Network Analysis (NA) to provide visualisations - into a technique called Meaningful Interaction Analysis (MIA). CONSPECT was designed to help both online learners and their tutors monitor their conceptual development. This...
In Information Retrieval (IR), the similarity scores between a query and a set of documents are calculated, and the relevant documents are ranked based on their similarity scores. IR systems often consider queries as short documents containing only a few words in calculating document similarity score. In Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) of narrative answers, when model answers are available, the similarity...
This paper introduces a new metric for automatically evaluation summaries called ContextChain. Based on an in-depth analysis of the TAC 2008 update summarization results, we show that previous automatic metrics such as ROUGE-2 and BE cannot reliably predict strong performing systems. We introduce two new terms called Correlation Recall and Correlation Precision and discuss how they cast more light...
Reports generated by soldiers are common in time-critical military environments. Data fusion systems that attempt to process those reports must maintain the context for each set of observations to avoid inaccurate state estimates. This paper analyzes the selection and assignment of topical context under a Bayesian methodology. We present several techniques to decrease the hypothesis space and heuristics...
