DivGraphPointer: A Graph Pointer Network for Extracting Diverse Keyphrases
Keyphrase extraction from documents is useful to a variety of applications
such as information retrieval and document summarization. This paper presents
an end-to-end method called DivGraphPointer for extracting a set of diversified
keyphrases from a document. DivGraphPointer combines the advantages of
traditional graph-based ranking methods and recent neural network-based
approaches. Specifically, given a document, a word graph is constructed from
the document based on word proximity and is encoded with graph convolutional
networks, which effectively capture document-level word salience by modeling
long-range dependency between words in the document and aggregating multiple
appearances of identical words into one node. Furthermore, we propose a
diversified point network to generate a set of diverse keyphrases out of the
word graph in the decoding process. Experimental results on five benchmark data
sets show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the existing
state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: Accepted to SIGIR 201
Extracting News Events from Microblogs
Twitter stream has become a large source of information for many people, but
the magnitude of tweets and the noisy nature of its content have made
harvesting the knowledge from Twitter a challenging task for researchers for a
long time. Aiming at overcoming some of the main challenges of extracting the
hidden information from tweet streams, this work proposes a new approach for
real-time detection of news events from the Twitter stream. We divide our
approach into three steps. The first step is to use a neural network or deep
learning to detect news-relevant tweets from the stream. The second step is to
apply a novel streaming data clustering algorithm to the detected news tweets
to form news events. The third and final step is to rank the detected events
based on the size of the event clusters and growth speed of the tweet
frequencies. We evaluate the proposed system on a large, publicly available
corpus of annotated news events from Twitter. As part of the evaluation, we
compare our approach with a related state-of-the-art solution. Overall, our
experiments and user-based evaluation show that our approach on detecting
current (real) news events delivers a state-of-the-art performance
Automated speech and audio analysis for semantic access to multimedia
The deployment and integration of audio processing tools can enhance the semantic annotation of multimedia content, and as a consequence, improve the effectiveness of conceptual access tools. This paper overviews the various ways in which automatic speech and audio analysis can contribute to increased granularity of automatically extracted metadata. A number of techniques will be presented, including the alignment of speech and text resources, large vocabulary speech recognition, key word spotting and speaker classification. The applicability of techniques will be discussed from a media crossing perspective. The added value of the techniques and their potential contribution to the content value chain will be illustrated by the description of two (complementary) demonstrators for browsing broadcast news archives
