Term-Specific Eigenvector-Centrality in Multi-Relation Networks
Fuzzy matching and ranking are two information retrieval techniques widely used in web search. Their application to structured data, however, remains an open problem. This article investigates how eigenvector-centrality can be used for approximate matching in multi-relation graphs, that is, graphs where connections of many different types may exist. Based on an extension of the PageRank matrix, eigenvectors representing the distribution of a term after propagating term weights between related data items are computed. The result is an index which takes the document structure into account and can be used with standard document retrieval techniques. As the scheme takes the shape of an index transformation, all necessary calculations are performed during index tim
LODE: Linking Digital Humanities Content to the Web of Data
Numerous digital humanities projects maintain their data collections in the
form of text, images, and metadata. While data may be stored in many formats,
from plain text to XML to relational databases, the use of the resource
description framework (RDF) as a standardized representation has gained
considerable traction during the last five years. Almost every digital
humanities meeting has at least one session concerned with the topic of digital
humanities, RDF, and linked data. While most existing work in linked data has
focused on improving algorithms for entity matching, the aim of the
LinkedHumanities project is to build digital humanities tools that work "out of
the box," enabling their use by humanities scholars, computer scientists,
librarians, and information scientists alike. With this paper, we report on the
Linked Open Data Enhancer (LODE) framework developed as part of the
LinkedHumanities project. With LODE we support non-technical users to enrich a
local RDF repository with high-quality data from the Linked Open Data cloud.
LODE links and enhances the local RDF repository without compromising the
quality of the data. In particular, LODE supports the user in the enhancement
and linking process by providing intuitive user-interfaces and by suggesting
high-quality linking candidates using tailored matching algorithms. We hope
that the LODE framework will be useful to digital humanities scholars
complementing other digital humanities tools
A Trio Neural Model for Dynamic Entity Relatedness Ranking
Measuring entity relatedness is a fundamental task for many natural language
processing and information retrieval applications. Prior work often studies
entity relatedness in static settings and an unsupervised manner. However,
entities in real-world are often involved in many different relationships,
consequently entity-relations are very dynamic over time. In this work, we
propose a neural networkbased approach for dynamic entity relatedness,
leveraging the collective attention as supervision. Our model is capable of
learning rich and different entity representations in a joint framework.
Through extensive experiments on large-scale datasets, we demonstrate that our
method achieves better results than competitive baselines.Comment: In Proceedings of CoNLL 201
