Building an Ontology for the Domain of Plant Science using Prot\'eg\'e
Due to the rapid development of technology, large amounts of heterogeneous
data generated every day. Biological data is also growing in terms of the
quantity and quality of data considerably. Despite the attempts for building a
uniform platform to handle data management in Plant Science, researchers are
facing the challenge of not only accessing and integrating data stored in
heterogeneous data sources but also representing the implicit and explicit
domain knowledge based on the available plant genomic and phenomic data.
Ontologies provide a framework for describing the structures and vocabularies
to support the semantics of information and facilitate automated reasoning and
knowledge discovery. In this paper, we focus on building an ontology for
Arabidopsis Thaliana in Plant Science domain. The aim of this study is to
provide a conceptual model of Arabidopsis Thaliana as a reference plant for
botany and other plant sciences, including concepts and their relationships

Towards Understanding and Answering Multi-Sentence Recommendation Questions on Tourism
We introduce the first system towards the novel task of answering complex
multisentence recommendation questions in the tourism domain. Our solution uses
a pipeline of two modules: question understanding and answering. For question
understanding, we define an SQL-like query language that captures the semantic
intent of a question; it supports operators like subset, negation, preference
and similarity, which are often found in recommendation questions. We train and
compare traditional CRFs as well as bidirectional LSTM-based models for
converting a question to its semantic representation. We extend these models to
a semisupervised setting with partially labeled sequences gathered through
crowdsourcing. We find that our best model performs semi-supervised training of
BiDiLSTM+CRF with hand-designed features and CCM(Chang et al., 2007)
constraints. Finally, in an end to end QA system, our answering component
converts our question representation into queries fired on underlying knowledge
sources. Our experiments on two different answer corpora demonstrate that our
system can significantly outperform baselines with up to 20 pt higher accuracy
and 17 pt higher recall
KRC: KnowInG crowdsourcing platform supporting creativity and innovation
The deep financial and economic crisis, which still characterizes these
years, requires searching for tools in order to enhance knowledge sharing,
creativity and innovation. The Internet is one of these tools that represents a
practically infinite source of resources. In this perspective, the KnowInG
project, funded by the STC programme MED, is aimed at developing the KnowInG
Resource Centre (KRC), a sociotechnical system that works as a multiplier of
innovation. KRC was conceived as a crowdsourcing platform allowing people,
universities, research centres, organizations and companies to be active actors
of creative and innovation processes from a local to a transnational level.Comment: 15 page

Machine Learning with World Knowledge: The Position and Survey
Machine learning has become pervasive in multiple domains, impacting a wide
variety of applications, such as knowledge discovery and data mining, natural
language processing, information retrieval, computer vision, social and health
informatics, ubiquitous computing, etc. Two essential problems of machine
learning are how to generate features and how to acquire labels for machines to
learn. Particularly, labeling large amount of data for each domain-specific
problem can be very time consuming and costly. It has become a key obstacle in
making learning protocols realistic in applications. In this paper, we will
discuss how to use the existing general-purpose world knowledge to enhance
machine learning processes, by enriching the features or reducing the labeling
work. We start from the comparison of world knowledge with domain-specific
knowledge, and then introduce three key problems in using world knowledge in
learning processes, i.e., explicit and implicit feature representation,
inference for knowledge linking and disambiguation, and learning with direct or
indirect supervision. Finally we discuss the future directions of this research

Ontology Assisted Query Reformulation Using Semantic and Assertion Capabilities of OWL-DL Ontologies
End users of recent biomedical information systems are often unaware of the
storage structure and access mechanisms of the underlying data sources and can
require simplified mechanisms for writing domain specific complex queries. This
research aims to assist users and their applications in formulating queries
without requiring complete knowledge of the information structure of underlying
data sources. To achieve this, query reformulation techniques and algorithms
have been developed that can interpret ontology-based search criteria and
associated domain knowledge in order to reformulate a relational query. These
query reformulation algorithms exploit the semantic relationships and assertion
capabilities of OWL-DL based domain ontologies for query reformulation. In this
paper, this approach is applied to the integrated database schema of the EU
funded Health-e-Child (HeC) project with the aim of providing ontology assisted
query reformulation techniques to simplify the global access that is needed to
millions of medical records across the UK and Europe.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures. Proceedings of the 12th International Database

Multi-site software engineering ontology instantiations management using reputation based decision making
In this paper we explore the development of systems for software engineering ontology instantiations management in the methodology for multi-site distributed software development. Ultimately the systems facilitate collaboration of teams in multi-site distributed software development. In multi-site distributed environment, team members in the software engineering projects have naturally an interaction with each other and share lots of project data/agreement amongst themselves. Since theyare not always residing at the same place and face-to-face meetings hardly happen, there is a need for methodology and tools that facilitate effective communication for efficient collaboration. Whist multi-site distributed teams collaborate, there are a lot of shared project data updated or created. In a large volume of project data, systematic management is of importance. Software engineering knowledge is represented in the software engineering ontology whose instantiations, which are undergoing evolution, need a good management system. Software engineering ontology instantiations signify project information which is shared and has evolved to reflect project development, changes in the software requirements or in the design process, to incorporate additional functionality to systems or to allow incremental improvement, etc
