Graph-based exploration and clustering analysis of semantic spaces
2019
Abstract The goal of this study is to demonstrate how network science and graph theory tools and concepts can be effectively used for exploring and comparing semantic spaces of word embeddings and lexical databases. Specifically, we construct semantic networks based on word2vec representation of words, which is “learnt” from large text corpora (Google news, Amazon reviews), and “human built” word networks derived from the well-known lexical databases: WordNet and Moby Thesaurus. We compare “global” (e.g., degrees, distances, clustering coefficients) and “local” (e.g., most central nodes and community-type dense clusters) characteristics of considered networks. Our observations suggest that …
Controversies in the transition from paper and electronic textbooks to digital content
2018
Cabe pensar, dada la magnitud económica y cultural que representa el libro en nuestra sociedad, ya sea en soporte papel como electrónico, que los dos van a convivir largo tiempo. Los libros de texto, en consecuencia, correrán una suerte muy semejante. El cambio actual lo focalizamos en la transformación de los libros de texto en contenidos digitales con distintos formatos y vías de acceso. De este proceso estudiamos las controversias que suscitan estos cambios, en tanto que son reflejo del grado de asimilación por parte de la ciudadanía de las referidas innovaciones tecnológicas. Mediante estrategias etnográficas, nos acercamos a distintos agentes escolares para tratar de comprender inducti…
On Utilizing Stochastic Non-linear Fractional Bin Packing to Resolve Distributed Web Crawling
2014
This paper deals with the extremely pertinent problem of web crawling, which is far from trivial considering the magnitude and all-pervasive nature of the World-Wide Web. While numerous AI tools can be used to deal with this task, in this paper we map the problem onto the combinatorially-hard stochastic non-linear fractional knapsack problem, which, in turn, is then solved using Learning Automata (LA). Such LA-based solutions have been recently shown to outperform previous state-of-the-art approaches to resource allocation in Web monitoring. However, the ever growing deployment of distributed systems raises the need for solutions that cope with a distributed setting. In this paper, we prese…
Artificial Intelligence + Distributed Systems = Agents
2009
The connection with Wirth’s book goes beyond the title, albeit confining the area to modern Artificial Intelligence (AI). Whereas thirty years ago, to devise effective programs, it became necessary to enhance the classical algorithmic framework with approaches applied to limited and focused subdomains, in the context of broad-band technology and semantic web, applications - running in open, heterogeneous, dynamic and uncertain environments-current paradigms are not enough, because of the shift from programs to processes. Beside the structure as position paper, to give more weight to some basic assertions, results of recent research are abridged and commented upon in line with new paradigms.…
E-learning approach of the graph coloring problem applied to register allocation in embedded systems
2016
The main aim of this paper consists in developing an effective e-learning tool, focused on evolutionary algorithms, in order to solve the graph coloring problem. Subsidiary, we apply graph coloring for register allocation in embedded systems. From didactic viewpoint, our tool has benefits in the learning process because it helps students to observe the relationship between the graph coloring problem and CPU registers allocation with the help of four developed modules: the genetic algorithm, the graphical viewer, the interference graph for a C program and a web application which collects the simulation results. All these applications are combined by a graphical interface which allows the use…
MARKET THEORIES ANALYSIS FOR THE WEB MARKET AND INCORPORATION OF REPUTATION AS A COMPETITIVE FACTOR FOR WEB COMPANIES
2013
The goal of this paper is to familiarize the reader with the way reputation is mainly treated as well as the way it could be treated for web companies when they are focusing on selling to other markets than their own. This paper covers the reputation concept as a competitive advantage, as well as the treatment of this for a web company that wishes to sell abroad.
QUEXME: A Query Expansion Method Applied to Water Information System
2009
The aim of the paper is to present and apply a QUery EXpansion MEthod called QUEXME while querying the Euro-Mediterranean Information System (EMWIS) on know-how in the Water sector. EMWIS provides a strategic tool for exchanging information and knowledge in the water sector between and within the Euro Mediterranean partnership countries (www.emwis.net). Information retrieval on the web or through some cooperation of information sources or some general knowledge bases is a complex process and a great challenge with the emergence of the semantic web. The aim of the query expansion method is to help and guide users to build their requests giving them some usually related terms close to their q…
Highly Functionalized Ferrocenes
2020
International audience; Ferrocene is unique among organometallic compounds, and serves notably as a versatile platform towards the production of ligands useful to promote transition metals chemistry. A general limiting aspect of the synthesis of ferrocene derivatives is the efficient access to sophisticated highly functionalized polysubstituted ferrocenes, i. e. bearing four or more substituents replacing hydrogen atoms on the cyclopentadienyl rings. These ferrocene derivatives can bear various functional or/and structuring spectator substituents. Their preparation involves synthetic difficulties resulting from the need of multiple functionalizations coexisting altogether, and satisfying fu…
LinkedSaeima: A Linked Open Dataset of Latvia’s Parliamentary Debates
2019
This paper describes the LinkedSaeima dataset that contains structured data about Latvia’s parliamentary debates from 1993 until 2017. This information is published at http://dati.saeima.korpuss.lv as Linked Open Data. It is a part of the Corpus of Saeima (the Parliament of Latvia) released as open data for multidisciplinary research. The data model of LinkedSaeima follows the data structure of the LinkedEP dataset with a few modifications. The dataset is augmented with links to the Wikidata knowledge base that provide additional information about the speakers and named entities mentioned in the corpus.
Integrated treatment of first episode psychosis with online training (e-learning): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
2014
Background: The integrated treatment of first episode psychosis has been shown to improve functionality and negative symptoms in previous studies. In this paper, we describe a study of integrated treatment (individual psychoeducation complementary to pharmacotherapy) versus treatment as usual, comparing results at baseline with those at 6-month re-assessment (at the end of the study) for these patients, and online training of professionals to provide this complementary treatment, with the following objectives: 1) to compare the efficacy of individual psychoeducation as add-on treatment versus treatment as usual in improving psychotic and mood symptoms; 2) to compare adherence to medication,…
