Annotation and its application to information research in economic intelligence
International audienceAnnotation tools are becoming increasingly important in information research, information management and collaborative works. Annotation can be conceptualized to assist in the “collection, processing and distributing of useful information for the economic actors” (Economic intelligence) with the aim of facilitating the integration of two fields of information systems and decision making. This paper described the theory and concept of applying annotation in the process of information research for decision making. The specificities of this concept were compared to other concepts behind other annotation tools. Our study considered annotation in the light of three parameters of document, user and time. We observed that (a) different document requires different annotation; (b) two or more users may not make the same type of annotation on the same document (c) a specific user may not annotate the same document the same way at different time. Information research for decision making integrating an annotation database can be founded on these three parameters
AMIE: An annotation model for information research
The objective of most users for consulting any information database,
information warehouse or the internet is to resolve one problem or the other.
Available online or offline annotation tools were not conceived with the
objective of assisting users in their bid to resolve a decisional problem.
Apart from the objective and usage of annotation tools, how these tools are
conceived and classified has implication on their usage. Several criteria have
been used to categorize annotation concepts. Typically annotation are conceived
based on how it affect the organization of document been considered for
annotation or the organization of the resulting annotation. Our approach is
annotation that will assist in information research for decision making.
Annotation model for information exchange (AMIE) was conceived with the
objective of information sharing and reuse
Approche conceptuelle par un processus d'annotation pour la repr\'esentation et la valorisation de contenus informationnels en intelligence \'economique (IE)
In the era of the information society, the impact of the information systems
on the economy of material and immaterial is certainly perceptible. With
regards to the information resources of an organization, the annotation
involved to enrich informational content, to track the intellectual activities
on a document and to set the added value on information for the benefit of
solving a decision-making problem in the context of economic intelligence. Our
contribution is distinguished by the representation of an annotation process
and its inherent concepts to lead the decisionmaker to an anticipated decision:
the provision of relevant and annotated information. Such information in the
system is made easy by taking into account the diversity of resources and those
that are well annotated so formally and informally by the EI actors. A capital
research framework consist of integrating in the decision-making process the
annotator activity, the software agent (or the reasoning mechanisms) and the
information resources enhancement

Using Windmill Expansion for Document Retrieval
SEMIOTIKS aims to utilise online information to support the crucial decision–making of those military and civilian agencies involved in the humanitarian removal of landmines in areas of conflict throughout the world. An analysis of the type of information required for such a task has given rise to four main areas of research: information retrieval, document annotation, summarisation and visualisation. The first stage of the research has focused on information retrieval, and a new algorithm, “Windmill Expansion” (WE) has been proposed to do this. The algorithm uses retrieval feedback techniques for automated query expansion in order to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval. WE is based on the extraction of human–generated written phases for automated query expansion. Top and Second Level expansion terms have been generated and their usefulness evaluated. The evaluation has concentrated on measuring the degree of overlap between the retrieved URLs. The less the overlap, the more useful the information provided. The Top Level expansion terms were found to provide 90% of useful URLs, and the Second Level 83% of useful URLs. Although there was a decline of useful URLs from the Top Level to the Second Level, the quantity of relevant information retrieved has increased. The originality of SEMIOTIKS lies in its use of the WE algorithm to help non–domain specific experts automatically explore domain words for relevant and precise information retrieval

A Novel Semantic Statistical Model for Automatic Image Annotation Using the Relationship between the Regions Based on Multi-Criteria Decision Making
Automatic image annotation has emerged as an important research topic due to the existence of the semantic gap and in addition to its potential application on image retrieval and management. In this paper we present an approach which combines regional contexts and visual topics to automatic image annotation. Regional contexts model the relationship between the regions, whereas visual topics provide the global distribution of topics over an image. Conventional image annotation methods neglected the relationship between the regions in an image, while these regions are exactly explanation of the image semantics, therefore considering the relationship between them are helpful to annotate the images. The proposed model extracts regional contexts and visual topics from the image, and incorporates them by MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) approach based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution) method. Regional contexts and visual topics are learned by PLSA (Probability Latent Semantic Analysis) from the training data. The experiments on 5k Corel images show that integrating these two kinds of information is beneficial to image annotation.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i1.459
Autoencoders for strategic decision support
In the majority of executive domains, a notion of normality is involved in
most strategic decisions. However, few data-driven tools that support strategic
decision-making are available. We introduce and extend the use of autoencoders
to provide strategically relevant granular feedback. A first experiment
indicates that experts are inconsistent in their decision making, highlighting
the need for strategic decision support. Furthermore, using two large
industry-provided human resources datasets, the proposed solution is evaluated
in terms of ranking accuracy, synergy with human experts, and dimension-level
feedback. This three-point scheme is validated using (a) synthetic data, (b)
the perspective of data quality, (c) blind expert validation, and (d)
transparent expert evaluation. Our study confirms several principal weaknesses
of human decision-making and stresses the importance of synergy between a model
and humans. Moreover, unsupervised learning and in particular the autoencoder
are shown to be valuable tools for strategic decision-making
