Ontology-Guided Approach to Feature-Based Opinion Mining

2011

The boom of the Social Web has had a tremendous impact on a number of different research topics. In particular, the possibility to extract various kinds of added-value, informational elements from users' opinions has attracted researchers from the information retrieval and computational linguistics fields. However, current approaches to socalled opinion mining suffer from a series of drawbacks. In this paper we propose an innovative methodology for opinion mining that brings together traditional natural language processing techniques with sentimental analysis processes and Semantic Web technologies. The main goals of this methodology is to improve feature-based opinion mining by employing o…

The Anatomy of an Optical Biopsy Semantic Retrieval System

2012

A case-based computer-aided diagnosis system assists physicians and other medical personnel in the interpretation of optical biopsies obtained through confocal laser endomicroscopy. Extraction in CLE images shows promising results on inferring semantic metadata from low-level features. In order to effectively ensure the interoperability with potential third-party applications, the system provides an interface compliant with the recent standards ISO/IEC 15938-12:2008 (MPEG Query Format) and ISO/IEC 24800 (JPEG Search).

A systematic analysis of duplicate records in Scopus

2015

In recent years, the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases have become primary sources for conducting studies that evaluate scientific investigations. Such studies require that duplicate records be excluded to avoid errors of overrepresentation. In this line, we identify duplicate records in Scopus and examine their origins. Identifying journals with duplicate records in Scopus, selecting and downloading bibliographic journal records, and identifying and analyzing the duplicate records is the methodology adopted. Duplicate records are found when articles published in a journal are incorrectly mapped by Scopus to this journal and to a different journal from the same publisher a…

Aligning Relational Schema and OWL Ontologies with Hidden Markov Model

2016

The problem of bridging the gap between relational schema and ontologies is actively investigated in the Semantic Web and business communities. The main motivations are the OBDA scenario, where a domain ontology allows to hidden the technical details of the db to end-users; and the persistent storage of ontologies in db for facilitating search and retrieval keeping the benefits of DBMSs such as security and integrity. In these cases, the ABox is usually stored into a db, and the TBox is maintained in an ontology; for this reason, schema alignment is a more significant problem than the instance matching one. The use of manual mappings is hard and expensive, especially for large representatio…

Context-sensitive text mining with fitness leveling Genetic Algorithm

2015

Contextual processing is a great challenge for information retrieval study - the most approved techniques include scanning content of HTML web pages, user supported metadata analysis, automatic inference grounded on knowledge base, or content-oriented digital documents analysis. We propose a meta-heuristic by making use of Genetic Algorithms for Contextual Search (GACS) built on genetic programming (GP) and custom fitness leveling function to optimize contextual queries in exact search that represents unstructured phrases generated by the user. Our findings show that the queries built with GACS can significantly optimize the retrieval process.

On Keyword-Based Ad-Hoc Querying of Hospital Data Stored in Semistar Data Ontologies

2018

Abstract This paper sketches a possible solution to the problem of the currently growing necessity in various domains for domain experts to be able to query the database of the organization in a convenient manner. The paper focuses on the domain of hospital management where the normal practice is to involve a programmer as an intermediary between the managers and the database. This is an error-prone and cumbersome solution. The decision-making process of domain experts would hugely benefit if they could retrieve the information from the database themselves. There have been attempts to develop natural language-based query languages for this exact purpose, but the ultimate goal of the simplic…

A framework for context-sensitive metadata description

2006

Expectations regarding the new generation of Web depend on the success of Semantic Web technology. Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a basis for explicit and machine-readable representation of semantics. However RDF is not suitable for describing dynamic and context-sensitive resources (eg. processes). We present the Context Description Framework (CDF) as an extension of the RDF by adding a 'TrueInContext' component to the basic RDF triple ('subject-predicate-object'), and consider contextual value as a container of RDF statements. We also add a probabilistic component, which allows multilevel contextual dependence descriptions as well as presumes possibility for Bayesian reasoning wi…

From decoding a graph to processing a multimodal message: Interacting with data visualization in the news media

2020

Abstract Data visualisation – in the forms of graphs, charts, and maps – represents a text type growing in prevalence and impact in many cultural domains; education, journalism, business, PR, and more. Research on data visualisation reception is scarce, particularly that related to interactive and dynamic forms of data visualisation in digital media. Taking an approach inspired by grounded theory, in this article I investigate the ways in which young students interact with data visualisations found in digital news media. Combining observations from reading sessions with ten in-depth interviews, I investigate how the informants read, interpreted, and responded emotionally to data visualisati…
