Enriching videos with light semantics
This paper describes an ongoing prototypical framework to annotate and retrieve web videos with light semantics. The proposed framework reuses many existing vocabularies along with a video model. The knowledge is captured from three different information spaces (media content, context, document). We also describe ways to extract the semantic content descriptions from the existing usergenerated content using multiple approaches of linguistic processing and Named Entity Recognition, which are later identified with DBpedia resources to establish meanings for the tags. Finally, the implemented prototype is described with multiple search interfaces and retrieval processes. Evaluation on semantic enrichment shows a considerable (50% of videos) improvement in content description
Personalized Ranking in eCommerce Search
We address the problem of personalization in the context of eCommerce search.
Specifically, we develop personalization ranking features that use in-session
context to augment a generic ranker optimized for conversion and relevance. We
use a combination of latent features learned from item co-clicks in historic
sessions and content-based features that use item title and price.
Personalization in search has been discussed extensively in the existing
literature. The novelty of our work is combining and comparing content-based
and content-agnostic features and showing that they complement each other to
result in a significant improvement of the ranker. Moreover, our technique does
not require an explicit re-ranking step, does not rely on learning user
profiles from long term search behavior, and does not involve complex modeling
of query-item-user features. Our approach captures item co-click propensity
using lightweight item embeddings. We experimentally show that our technique
significantly outperforms a generic ranker in terms of Mean Reciprocal Rank
(MRR). We also provide anecdotal evidence for the semantic similarity captured
by the item embeddings on the eBay search engine.Comment: Under Revie
A cloud-based tool for sentiment analysis in reviews about restaurants on TripAdvisor
The tourism industry has been promoting its products and services based on the reviews that people often write on travel websites like TripAdvisor.com, Booking.com and other platforms like these. These reviews have a profound effect on the decision making process when evaluating which places to visit, such as which restaurants to book, etc.
In this contribution is presented a cloud based software tool for the massive analysis of this social media data (TripAdvisor.com). The main characteristics of the tool developed are: i) the ability to aggregate data obtained from social media; ii) the possibility of carrying out combined analyses of both people and comments; iii) the ability to detect the sense (positive, negative or neutral) in which the comments rotate, quantifying the degree to which they are positive or negative, as well as predicting behaviour patterns from this information; and iv) the ease of doing everything in the same application (data downloading, pre-processing, analysis and visualisation).
As a test and validation case, more than 33.500 revisions written in English on restaurants in the Province of Granada (Spain) were analyse
Ontology: A Linked Data Hub for Mathematics
In this paper, we present an ontology of mathematical knowledge concepts that
covers a wide range of the fields of mathematics and introduces a balanced
representation between comprehensive and sensible models. We demonstrate the
applications of this representation in information extraction, semantic search,
and education. We argue that the ontology can be a core of future integration
of math-aware data sets in the Web of Data and, therefore, provide mappings
onto relevant datasets, such as DBpedia and ScienceWISE.Comment: 15 pages, 6 images, 1 table, Knowledge Engineering and the Semantic
