In order to disseminate the exponential extent of knowledge being produced in the form of scientific publications, it would be best to design mechanisms that connect it with already existing rich repository of concepts - the Wikipedia. Not only does it make scientific reading simple and easy (by connecting the involved concepts used in the scientific articles to their Wikipedia explanations) but also...
Named Entity Identification (NEI) is the task of identifying named entities from textual data. While NEI for English language can be done with considerable accuracy owing to tools like Stanford NER tagger, the accuracy in case of Indian languages like Hindi is comparatively poor. One of the reasons for this is the lack of sufficiently large annotated corpora in Indian languages on which NE-taggers...
Literature recommender systems support users in filtering the vast and increasing number of documents in digital libraries and on the Web. For academic literature, research has proven the ability of citation-based document similarity measures, such as Co-Citation (CoCit), or Co-Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) to improve recommendation quality. In this paper, we report on the first large-scale investigation...
The task of assigning geographic coordinates to textual resources plays an increasingly central role in geographic information retrieval. The ability to select those terms from a given collection that are most indicative of geographic location is of key importance in successfully addressing this task. However, this process of selecting spatially relevant terms is at present not well understood, and...
This paper proposes the standard specification of metric numbers and is intended to discuss the topic. The numbers combined with metric prefixes like the 2k for the year, or 2k2 for resistors inscription are popularly used. However, there exists no standard to guide the use of such numbers, and typical precision is limited to few digits, as in the E24 series used for electronic parts. Computational...
Software developers who want to join an existing software development project must first overcome a contribution barrier. The contribution barrier can prevent prospective software developers from joining the project. This contribution barrier comprises technical as well as social hurdles. This paper describes the components of a Wiki Development Environment (WikiDE): A wiki system with which software...
In this paper we explore the written dialog behavior of participants in anon line discussion for automatic identification of participants who pursue power within the discussion group. We employ various standard unsupervised machine learning approaches to make this prediction. Our approach relies on the identification of certain discourse structures and linguistic techniques used by participants in...
For text search systems, the ambiguity of short queries often leads to poor performance. To solve this problem, relevance feedback via query-expansion is considered as one effective technique. However, many methods of relevance feedback barely use the knowledge of search results and the improvement of effectiveness is limited because the knowledge used is limited. In this paper we try to include Wikipedia's...
The emergence of Web 2.0 and the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have fostered e-learning to be more interactive, challenging, and situated. As a result, learners felt empowered when they are engaged in collaborative learning activities and self-directed learning. Given the different learning styles of students, educators are faced with the challenge of having to develop...
