Automatic Illustration of Short Texts via Web Images
2015
In this paper we propose a totally unsupervised and automatic illustration method, which aims to find onto the Web a set of images to illustrate the content of an input short text. The text is modelled as a semantic space and a set of relevant keywords is extracted. We compare and discuss different methods to create semantic representations by keyword extraction. Keywords are used to query Google Image Search engine for a list of relevant images. We also extract information from the Web pages that include the retrieved images, to create an Image Semantic Space, which is compared to the Text Semantic Space in order to rank the list of retrieved images. Tests showed that our method achieves v…
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 …
Semantiskā telpa un robežas attēlošana Žana Bodrijāra esejā "Amerika"
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir semantiskās telpas un robežas attēlošana Žana Bodrijāra esejā „Amerika”, kas balstās uz semiotiķa Jurija Lotmaņa sižeta teorijas. Lai sekmīgi veiktu izpēti, tika izvirzīts mērķis, izmeklēt un izanalizēt semantisko telpu tekstā, to attēlot un starp to noteikt robežu. Galvenā darba sastāvdaļa ir analīze, kas ar Lotmaņa teorijas palīdzību ļauj izanalizēt sižeta veidošanās pamatprincipus un trīs jomas, kuras nosaka semantisko lauku. Izanalizējot un aprakstot trīs jomas, ir iespējams noteikt robežu un tās nozīmi. Nosauktie elementi ir cieši saistīti, jo tie veido sižeta teorijas jēdzienu. Izstrādātā analīze ir parādījusi, ka dotajā esejā var noteikt pilsētas un tuksneša t…
