All about that - a URI profiling tool for monitoring and preserving linked data

All About That (AAT) is a URI Profiling tool which allows users to monitor and preserve Linked Data in which they are interested. Its design is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web. As the Linked Data Web expands it will become increasingly important to maintain links such that the data remains useful and therefore this tool is presented as a step towards providing this maintenance capability

Recovery Guarantees for Quadratic Tensors with Limited Observations

We consider the tensor completion problem of predicting the missing entries of a tensor. The commonly used CP model has a triple product form, but an alternate family of quadratic models which are the sum of pairwise products instead of a triple product have emerged from applications such as recommendation systems. Non-convex methods are the method of choice for learning quadratic models, and this work examines their sample complexity and error guarantee. Our main result is that with the number of samples being only linear in the dimension, all local minima of the mean squared error objective are global minima and recover the original tensor accurately. The techniques lead to simple proofs showing that convex relaxation can recover quadratic tensors provided with linear number of samples. We substantiate our theoretical results with experiments on synthetic and real-world data, showing that quadratic models have better performance than CP models in scenarios where there are limited amount of observations available

An Evaluation of Link Neighborhood Lexical Signatures to Rediscover Missing Web Pages

For discovering the new URI of a missing web page, lexical signatures, which consist of a small number of words chosen to represent the "aboutness" of a page, have been previously proposed. However, prior methods relied on computing the lexical signature before the page was lost, or using cached or archived versions of the page to calculate a lexical signature. We demonstrate a system of constructing a lexical signature for a page from its link neighborhood, that is the "backlinks", or pages that link to the missing page. After testing various methods, we show that one can construct a lexical signature for a missing web page using only ten backlink pages. Further, we show that only the first level of backlinks are useful in this effort. The text that the backlinks use to point to the missing page is used as input for the creation of a four-word lexical signature. That lexical signature is shown to successfully find the target URI in over half of the test cases.Comment: 24 pages, 13 figures, 8 tables, technical repor

Link Prediction via Matrix Completion

Inspired by practical importance of social networks, economic networks, biological networks and so on, studies on large and complex networks have attracted a surge of attentions in the recent years. Link prediction is a fundamental issue to understand the mechanisms by which new links are added to the networks. We introduce the method of robust principal component analysis (robust PCA) into link prediction, and estimate the missing entries of the adjacency matrix. On one hand, our algorithm is based on the sparsity and low rank property of the matrix, on the other hand, it also performs very well when the network is dense. This is because a relatively dense real network is also sparse in comparison to the complete graph. According to extensive experiments on real networks from disparate fields, when the target network is connected and sufficiently dense, whatever it is weighted or unweighted, our method is demonstrated to be very effective and with prediction accuracy being considerably improved comparing with many state-of-the-art algorithms
