Learning to distinguish hypernyms and co-hyponyms
This work is concerned with distinguishing different semantic relations which exist between distributionally similar words. We compare a novel approach based on training a linear Support Vector Machine on pairs of feature vectors with state-of-the-art methods based on distributional similarity. We show that the new supervised approach does better even when there is minimal information about the target words in the training data, giving a 15% reduction in error rate over unsupervised approaches
The Effectiveness of Concept Based Search for Video Retrieval
In this paper we investigate how a small number of high-level concepts\ud
derived for video shots, such as Sport. Face.Indoor. etc., can be used effectively for ad hoc search in video material. We will answer the following questions: 1) Can we automatically construct concept queries from ordinary text queries? 2) What is the best way to combine evidence from single concept detectors into final search results? We evaluated algorithms for automatic concept query formulation using WordNet based concept extraction, and we evaluated algorithms for fast, on-line combination of concepts. Experimental results on data from the TREC Video 2005 workshop and 25 test users show the following. 1) Automatic query formulation through WordNet based concept extraction can achieve comparable results to user created query concepts and 2) Combination methods that take neighboring shots into account outperform more simple combination methods
Context and Keyword Extraction in Plain Text Using a Graph Representation
Document indexation is an essential task achieved by archivists or automatic
indexing tools. To retrieve relevant documents to a query, keywords describing
this document have to be carefully chosen. Archivists have to find out the
right topic of a document before starting to extract the keywords. For an
archivist indexing specialized documents, experience plays an important role.
But indexing documents on different topics is much harder. This article
proposes an innovative method for an indexing support system. This system takes
as input an ontology and a plain text document and provides as output
contextualized keywords of the document. The method has been evaluated by
exploiting Wikipedia's category links as a termino-ontological resources
Ontologies and Information Extraction
This report argues that, even in the simplest cases, IE is an ontology-driven
process. It is not a mere text filtering method based on simple pattern
matching and keywords, because the extracted pieces of texts are interpreted
with respect to a predefined partial domain model. This report shows that
depending on the nature and the depth of the interpretation to be done for
extracting the information, more or less knowledge must be involved. This
report is mainly illustrated in biology, a domain in which there are critical
needs for content-based exploration of the scientific literature and which
becomes a major application domain for IE
Knowledge Representation and WordNets
Knowledge itself is a representation of âreal factsâ.
Knowledge is a logical model that presents facts from âthe real worldâ witch can be expressed in a formal language. Representation means the construction of a model of some part of reality.
Knowledge representation is contingent to both cognitive science and artificial intelligence. In cognitive science it expresses the way people store and process the information. In the AI field the goal is to store knowledge in such way that permits intelligent programs to represent information as nearly as possible to human intelligence.
Knowledge Representation is referred to the formal representation of knowledge intended to be processed and stored by computers and to draw conclusions from this knowledge.
Examples of applications are expert systems, machine translation systems, computer-aided maintenance systems and information retrieval systems (including database front-ends).knowledge, representation, ai models, databases, cams
