Abstract

With the development of Web2.0, social tagging systems in which users can freely choose tags to annotate resources according to their interests have attracted much attention. In particular, literature on the emergence of collective intelligence in social tagging systems has increased. In this article, we propose a probabilistic generative model to detect latent topical communities among users. Social tags and resource contents are leveraged to model user interest in two similar and correlated ways. Our primary goal is to capture user tagging behavior and interest and discover the emergent topical community structure. The communities should be groups of users with frequent social interactions as well as similar topical interests, which would have important research implications for personalized information services. Experimental results on two real social tagging data sets with different genres have shown that the proposed generative model more accurately models user interest and detects high-quality and meaningful topical communities.

Abstract

In this article we present a semi-supervised active learning algorithm for pattern discovery in information extraction from textual data. The patterns are reduced regular expressions composed of various characteristics of features useful in information extraction. Our major contribution is a semi-supervised learning algorithm that extracts information from a set of examples labeled as relevant or irrelevant to a given attribute. The approach is semi-supervised because it does not require precise labeling of the exact location of features in the training data. This significantly reduces the effort needed to develop a training set. An active learning algorithm is used to assist the semi-supervised learning algorithm to further reduce the training set development effort. The active learning algorithm is seeded with a Single positive example of a given attribute. The context of the seed is used to automatically identify candidates for additional positive examples of the given attribute. Candidate examples are manually pruned during the active learning phase, and our semi-supervised learning algorithm automatically discovers reduced regular expressions for each attribute. We have successfully applied this learning technique in the extraction of textual features from police incident reports, university crime reports, and patents. The performance of our algorithm compares favorably with competitive extraction systems being used in criminal justice information systems.

Abstract

External information plays an important role in group decision-making processes, yet research about external information support for Group Support Systems (GSS) has been lacking. In this study, we propose an approach to build a concept space to provide external concept support for GSS users. Built on a Web mining algorithm, the approach can mine a concept space from the Web and retrieve related concepts from the concept space based on users' comments in a real-time manner. We conduct two experiments to evaluate the quality of the proposed approach and the effectiveness of the external concept support provided by this approach. The experiment results indicate that the concept space mined from the Web contained qualified concepts to stimulate divergent thinking. The results also demonstrate that external concept support in GSS greatly enhanced group productivity for idea generation tasks.

Abstract

This paper addresses a bibliometric methodology to discover the structure of the scientific 'landscape' in order to gain detailed insight into the development of MD fields, their interaction, and the transfer of knowledge between them. This methodology is appropriate to visualize the position of MD activities in relation to interdisciplinary MD developments, and particularly in relation to socio-economic problems. Furthermore, it allows the identification of the major actors. It even provides the possibility of foresight. We describe a first approach to apply bibliometric mapping as an instrument to investigate characteristics of knowledge transfer. In this paper we discuss the creation of 'maps of science' with help of advanced bibliometric methods. This 'bibliometric cartography' can be seen as a specific type of data-mining, applied to large amounts of scientific publications. As an example we describe the mapping of the field neuroscience, one of the largest and fast growing fields in the life sciences. The number of publications covered by this database is about 80,000 per year, the period covered is 1995-1998. Current research is going an to update the mapping for the years 1999-2002. This paper addresses the main lines of the methodology and its application in the study of knowledge transfer.

Abstract

In data mining, we emphasize the need for learning from huge, incomplete, and imperfect data sets. To handle noise in the problem domain, existing learning systems avoid overfitting the imperfect training examples by excluding insignificant patterns. The problem is that these systems use a limiting attribute-value language for representing the training examples and the induced knowledge. Moreover, some important patterns are ignored because they are statistically insignificant. In this article, we present a framework that combines genetic programming and inductive logic programming to induce knowledge represented in various knowledge representation formalisms from noisy databases (LOGENPRO). Moreover, the system is applied to one real-life medical database. The knowledge discovered provides insights to and allows better understanding of the medical domains

Abstract

The large amount of data collected today is quickly overwhelming researchers' abilities to interpret the data and discover interesting patterns. Knowledge discovery and data mining approaches hold the potential to automate the interpretation process, but these approaches frequently utilize computationally expensive algorithms. In particular, scientific discovery systems focus on the utilization of richer data representation, sometimes without regard for scalability. This research investigates approaches for scaling a particular knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) system, SUBDUE, using parallel and distributed resources. SUBDUE has been used to discover interesting and repetitive concepts in graph-based databases from a variety of domains, but requires a substantial amount of processing time. Experiments that demonstrate scalability of parallel versions of the SUBDUE system are performed using CAD circuit databases and artificially-generated databases, and potential achievements and obstacles are discussed

Abstract

Examines the relationship between systems and users from the knowledge discovery in databases or data mining perspecitives. A comprehensive study on knowledge discovery in human computer symbiosis is needed. Proposes a database-user adversarial partnership, which is general enough to cover knowledge discovery and security of issues related to databases and their users. It can be further generalized into system-user adversarial paertnership. Discusses opportunities provided by knowledge discovery techniques and potential social implications

Abstract

Modern information retrieval systems use keywords within documents as indexing terms for search of relevant documents. As Chinese is an ideographic character-based language, the words in the texts are not delimited by white spaces. Indexing of Chinese documents is impossible without a proper segmentation algorithm. Many Chinese segmentation algorithms have been proposed in the past. Traditional segmentation algorithms cannot operate without a large dictionary or a large corpus of training data. Nowadays, the Web has become the largest corpus that is ideal for Chinese segmentation. Although most search engines have problems in segmenting texts into proper words, they maintain huge databases of documents and frequencies of character sequences in the documents. Their databases are important potential resources for segmentation. In this paper, we propose a segmentation algorithm by mining Web data with the help of search engines. On the other hand, the Romanized pinyin of Chinese language indicates boundaries of words in the text. Our algorithm is the first to utilize the Romanized pinyin to segmentation. It is the first unified segmentation algorithm for the Chinese language from different geographical areas, and it is also domain independent because of the nature of the Web. Experiments have been conducted on the datasets of a recent Chinese segmentation competition. The results show that our algorithm outperforms the traditional algorithms in terms of precision and recall. Moreover, our algorithm can effectively deal with the problems of segmentation ambiguity, new word (unknown word) detection, and stop words.

Abstract

The abundance of medical resources has encouraged the development of systems that allow for efficient searches of information in large medical image data sets. State-of-the-art image retrieval models are classified into three categories: content-based (visual) models, textual models, and combined models. Content-based models use visual features to answer image queries, textual image retrieval models use word matching to answer textual queries, and combined image retrieval models, use both textual and visual features to answer queries. Nevertheless, most of previous works in this field have used the same image retrieval model independently of the query type. In this article, we define a list of generic and specific medical query features and exploit them in an association rule mining technique to discover correlations between query features and image retrieval models. Based on these rules, we propose to use an associative classifier (NaiveClass) to find the best suitable retrieval model given a new textual query. We also propose a second associative classifier (SmartClass) to select the most appropriate default class for the query. Experiments are performed on Medical ImageCLEF queries from 2008 to 2012 to evaluate the impact of the proposed query features on the classification performance. The results show that combining our proposed specific and generic query features is effective in query classification.

Abstract

With the overwhelming volume of information, the task of finding relevant information on a given topic on the Web is becoming increasingly difficult. Web search engines hence become one of the most popular solutions available on the Web. However, it has never been easy for novice users to organize and represent their information needs using simple queries. Users have to keep modifying their input queries until they get expected results. Therefore, it is often desirable for search engines to give suggestions on related queries to users. Besides, by identifying those related queries, search engines can potentially perform optimizations on their systems, such as query expansion and file indexing. In this work we propose a method that suggests a list of related queries given an initial input query. The related queries are based in the query log of previously submitted queries by human users, which can be identified using an enhanced model of association rules. Users can utilize the suggested related queries to tune or redirect the search process. Our method not only discovers the related queries, but also ranks them according to the degree of their relatedness. Unlike many other rival techniques, it also performs reasonably well on less frequent input queries.

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss Conceptual Knowledge Discovery in Databases (CKDD) in its connection with Data Analysis. Our approach is based on Formal Concept Analysis, a mathematical theory which has been developed and proven useful during the last 20 years. Formal Concept Analysis has led to a theory of conceptual information systems which has been applied by using the management system TOSCANA in a wide range of domains. In this paper, we use such an application in database marketing to demonstrate how methods and procedures of CKDD can be applied in Data Analysis. In particular, we show the interplay and integration of data mining and data analysis techniques based on Formal Concept Analysis. The main concern of this paper is to explain how the transition from data to knowledge can be supported by a TOSCANA system. To clarify the transition steps we discuss their correspondence to the five levels of knowledge representation established by R. Brachman and to the steps of empirically grounded theory building proposed by A. Strauss and J. Corbin

Abstract

Am 10. April 1912 ging Elisabeth Walton Allen an Bord der "Titanic", um ihr Hab und Gut nach England zu holen. Eines Nachts wurde sie von ihrer aufgelösten Tante geweckt, deren Kajüte unter Wasser stand. Wie steht es um Elisabeths Chancen und hätte man selbst das Unglück damals überlebt? Das Titanic-Orakel ist eine algorithmusbasierte App, die entsprechende Prognosen aufstellt und im Rahmen des Kurses "Data Science" am Department Information der HAW Hamburg entstanden ist. Dieser Beitrag zeigt Schritt für Schritt, wie die App unter Verwendung freier Software entwickelt wurde. Code und Daten werden zur Nachnutzung bereitgestellt.

Abstract

Numerous studies have explored the possibility of uncovering information from web search queries but few have examined the factors that affect web query data sources. We conducted a study that investigated this issue by comparing Google Trends and Baidu Index. Data from these two services are based on queries entered by users into Google and Baidu, two of the largest search engines in the world. We first compared the features and functions of the two services based on documents and extensive testing. We then carried out an empirical study that collected query volume data from the two sources. We found that data from both sources could be used to predict the quality of Chinese universities and companies. Despite the differences between the two services in terms of technology, such as differing methods of language processing, the search volume data from the two were highly correlated and combining the two data sources did not improve the predictive power of the data. However, there was a major difference between the two in terms of data availability. Baidu Index was able to provide more search volume data than Google Trends did. Our analysis showed that the disadvantage of Google Trends in this regard was due to Google's smaller user base in China. The implication of this finding goes beyond China. Google's user bases in many countries are smaller than that in China, so the search volume data related to those countries could result in the same issue as that related to China.

Abstract

Documents discussing public affairs, common themes, interesting products, and so on, are reported and distributed on the Web. Positive and negative opinions embedded in documents are useful references and feedbacks for governments to improve their services, for companies to market their products, and for customers to purchase their objects. Web opinion mining aims to extract, summarize, and track various aspects of subjective information on the Web. Mining subjective information enables traditional information retrieval (IR) systems to retrieve more data from human viewpoints and provide information with finer granularity. Opinion extraction identifies opinion holders, extracts the relevant opinion sentences, and decides their polarities. Opinion summarization recognizes the major events embedded in documents and summarizes the supportive and the nonsupportive evidence. Opinion tracking captures subjective information from various genres and monitors the developments of opinions from spatial and temporal dimensions. To demonstrate and evaluate the proposed opinion mining algorithms, news and bloggers' articles are adopted. Documents in the evaluation corpora are tagged in different granularities from words, sentences to documents. In the experiments, positive and negative sentiment words and their weights are mined on the basis of Chinese word structures. The f-measure is 73.18% and 63.75% for verbs and nouns, respectively. Utilizing the sentiment words mined together with topical words, we achieve f-measure 62.16% at the sentence level and 74.37% at the document level.

Abstract

Rechnung, Kündigung oder Adressänderung? Eingehende Briefe und E-Mails werden immer häufiger von Software statt aufwändig von Menschenhand sortiert. Die Textklassifizierer arbeiten erstaunlich genau. Sie fahnden auch nach ähnlichen Texten und sorgen so für einen schnellen Überblick. Ihre Werkzeuge sind Linguistik, Statistik und Logik

Abstract

Web Mining - ein Schlagwort, das mit der Verbreitung des Internets immer öfter zu lesen und zu hören ist. Die gegenwärtige Forschung beschäftigt sich aber eher mit dem Nutzungsverhalten der Internetnutzer, und ein Blick in Tagungsprogramme einschlägiger Konferenzen (z.B. GOR - German Online Research) zeigt, dass die Analyse der Inhalte kaum Thema ist. Auf der GOR wurden 1999 zwei Vorträge zu diesem Thema gehalten, auf der Folgekonferenz 2001 kein einziger. Web Mining ist der Oberbegriff für zwei Typen von Web Mining: Web Usage Mining und Web Content Mining. Unter Web Usage Mining versteht man das Analysieren von Daten, wie sie bei der Nutzung des WWW anfallen und von den Servern protokolliert wenden. Man kann ermitteln, welche Seiten wie oft aufgerufen wurden, wie lange auf den Seiten verweilt wurde und vieles andere mehr. Beim Web Content Mining wird der Inhalt der Webseiten untersucht, der nicht nur Text, sondern auf Bilder, Video- und Audioinhalte enthalten kann. Die Software für die Analyse von Webseiten ist in den Grundzügen vorhanden, doch müssen die meisten Webseiten für die entsprechende Analysesoftware erst aufbereitet werden. Zuerst müssen die relevanten Websites ermittelt werden, die die gesuchten Inhalte enthalten. Das geschieht meist mit Suchmaschinen, von denen es mittlerweile Hunderte gibt. Allerdings kann man nicht davon ausgehen, dass die Suchmaschinen alle existierende Webseiten erfassen. Das ist unmöglich, denn durch das schnelle Wachstum des Internets kommen täglich Tausende von Webseiten hinzu, und bereits bestehende ändern sich der werden gelöscht. Oft weiß man auch nicht, wie die Suchmaschinen arbeiten, denn das gehört zu den Geschäftsgeheimnissen der Betreiber. Man muss also davon ausgehen, dass die Suchmaschinen nicht alle relevanten Websites finden (können). Der nächste Schritt ist das Herunterladen der Websites, dafür gibt es Software, die unter den Bezeichnungen OfflineReader oder Webspider zu finden ist. Das Ziel dieser Programme ist, die Website in einer Form herunterzuladen, die es erlaubt, die Website offline zu betrachten. Die Struktur der Website wird in der Regel beibehalten. Wer die Inhalte einer Website analysieren will, muss also alle Dateien mit seiner Analysesoftware verarbeiten können. Software für Inhaltsanalyse geht davon aus, dass nur Textinformationen in einer einzigen Datei verarbeitet werden. QDA Software (qualitative data analysis) verarbeitet dagegen auch Audiound Videoinhalte sowie internetspezifische Kommunikation wie z.B. Chats.
