Intelligent multimedia indexing and retrieval through multi-source information extraction and merging
This paper reports work on automated meta-data\ud
creation for multimedia content. The approach results\ud
in the generation of a conceptual index of\ud
the content which may then be searched via semantic\ud
categories instead of keywords. The novelty\ud
of the work is to exploit multiple sources of\ud
information relating to video content (in this case\ud
the rich range of sources covering important sports\ud
events). News, commentaries and web reports covering\ud
international football games in multiple languages\ud
and multiple modalities is analysed and the\ud
resultant data merged. This merging process leads\ud
to increased accuracy relative to individual sources
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
Information Extraction, Data Integration, and Uncertain Data Management: The State of The Art
Information Extraction, data Integration, and uncertain data management are different areas of research that got vast focus in the last two decades. Many researches tackled those areas of research individually. However, information extraction systems should have integrated with data integration methods to make use of the extracted information. Handling uncertainty in extraction and integration process is an important issue to enhance the quality of the data in such integrated systems. This article presents the state of the art of the mentioned areas of research and shows the common grounds and how to integrate information extraction and data integration under uncertainty management cover
Unsupervised Extraction of Representative Concepts from Scientific Literature
This paper studies the automated categorization and extraction of scientific
concepts from titles of scientific articles, in order to gain a deeper
understanding of their key contributions and facilitate the construction of a
generic academic knowledgebase. Towards this goal, we propose an unsupervised,
domain-independent, and scalable two-phase algorithm to type and extract key
concept mentions into aspects of interest (e.g., Techniques, Applications,
etc.). In the first phase of our algorithm we propose PhraseType, a
probabilistic generative model which exploits textual features and limited POS
tags to broadly segment text snippets into aspect-typed phrases. We extend this
model to simultaneously learn aspect-specific features and identify academic
domains in multi-domain corpora, since the two tasks mutually enhance each
other. In the second phase, we propose an approach based on adaptor grammars to
extract fine grained concept mentions from the aspect-typed phrases without the
need for any external resources or human effort, in a purely data-driven
manner. We apply our technique to study literature from diverse scientific
domains and show significant gains over state-of-the-art concept extraction
techniques. We also present a qualitative analysis of the results obtained.Comment: Published as a conference paper at CIKM 201
