Video databases annotation enhancing using commonsense knowledgebases for indexing and retrieval
The rapidly increasing amount of video collections, especially on the web, motivated the need for intelligent automated annotation tools for searching, rating, indexing and retrieval purposes. These videos collections contain all types of manually annotated videos. As this annotation is usually incomplete and uncertain and contains misspelling words, search using some keywords almost do retrieve only a portion of videos which actually contains the desired meaning. Hence, this annotation needs filtering, expanding and validating for better indexing and retrieval.
In this paper, we present a novel framework for video annotation enhancement, based on merging two widely known commonsense knowledgebases, namely WordNet and ConceptNet. In addition to that, a comparison between these knowledgebases in video annotation domain is presented.
Experiments were performed on random wide-domain video clips, from the \emph{vimeo.com} website. Results show that searching for a video over enhanced tags, based on our proposed framework, outperforms searching using the original tags. In addition to that, the annotation enhanced by our framework outperforms both those enhanced by WordNet and ConceptNet individually, in terms of tags enrichment ability, concept diversity and most importantly retrieval performance
Using Neural Networks for Relation Extraction from Biomedical Literature
Using different sources of information to support automated extracting of
relations between biomedical concepts contributes to the development of our
understanding of biological systems. The primary comprehensive source of these
relations is biomedical literature. Several relation extraction approaches have
been proposed to identify relations between concepts in biomedical literature,
namely, using neural networks algorithms. The use of multichannel architectures
composed of multiple data representations, as in deep neural networks, is
leading to state-of-the-art results. The right combination of data
representations can eventually lead us to even higher evaluation scores in
relation extraction tasks. Thus, biomedical ontologies play a fundamental role
by providing semantic and ancestry information about an entity. The
incorporation of biomedical ontologies has already been proved to enhance
previous state-of-the-art results.Comment: Artificial Neural Networks book (Springer) - Chapter 1
Enhanced Integrated Scoring for Cleaning Dirty Texts
An increasing number of approaches for ontology engineering from text are
gearing towards the use of online sources such as company intranet and the
World Wide Web. Despite such rise, not much work can be found in aspects of
preprocessing and cleaning dirty texts from online sources. This paper presents
an enhancement of an Integrated Scoring for Spelling error correction,
Abbreviation expansion and Case restoration (ISSAC). ISSAC is implemented as
part of a text preprocessing phase in an ontology engineering system. New
evaluations performed on the enhanced ISSAC using 700 chat records reveal an
improved accuracy of 98% as compared to 96.5% and 71% based on the use of only
basic ISSAC and of Aspell, respectively.Comment: More information is available at

Conceptual biology, hypothesis discovery, and text mining: Swanson's legacy
Innovative biomedical librarians and information specialists who want to expand their roles as expert searchers need to know about profound changes in biology and parallel trends in text mining. In recent years, conceptual biology has emerged as a complement to empirical biology. This is partly in response to the availability of massive digital resources such as the network of databases for molecular biologists at the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Developments in text mining and hypothesis discovery systems based on the early work of Swanson, a mathematician and information scientist, are coincident with the emergence of conceptual biology. Very little has been written to introduce biomedical digital librarians to these new trends. In this paper, background for data and text mining, as well as for knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) and in text (KDT) is presented, then a brief review of Swanson's ideas, followed by a discussion of recent approaches to hypothesis discovery and testing. 'Testing' in the context of text mining involves partially automated methods for finding evidence in the literature to support hypothetical relationships. Concluding remarks follow regarding (a) the limits of current strategies for evaluation of hypothesis discovery systems and (b) the role of literature-based discovery in concert with empirical research. Report of an informatics-driven literature review for biomarkers of systemic lupus erythematosus is mentioned. Swanson's vision of the hidden value in the literature of science and, by extension, in biomedical digital databases, is still remarkably generative for information scientists, biologists, and physicians. © 2006Bekhuis; licensee BioMed Central Ltd

OBOME - Ontology based opinion mining in UBIPOL
Ontologies have a special role in the UBIPOL system, they help to structure the policy related context, provide conceptualization for policy domain and use in the opinion mining process. In this work we presented a system called Ontology Based Opinion Mining Engine (OBOME) for analyzing a domain-specific opinion corpus by first assisting the user with the creation of a domain ontology from the corpus. We determined the polarity of opinion on the various domain aspects. In the former step, the policy domain aspect has are identified (namely which policy category is represented by the concept). This identification is supported by the policy modelling ontology, which describe the most important policy – related classes and structure. Then the most informative documents from the corpus are extracted and asked the user to create a set of aspects and related keywords using these documents. In the latter step, we used the corpus specific ontology to model the domain and extracted aspect-polarity associations using grammatical dependencies between words. Later, summarized results are shown to the user to analyze and store. Finally, in an offline process policy modeling ontology is updated
