Self-adaptive GA, quantitative semantic similarity measures and ontology-based text clustering
As the common clustering algorithms use vector space model (VSM) to represent document, the conceptual relationships between related terms which do not co-occur literally are ignored. A genetic algorithm-based clustering technique, named GA clustering, in conjunction with ontology is proposed in this article to overcome this problem. In general, the ontology measures can be partitioned into two categories: thesaurus-based methods and corpus-based methods. We take advantage of the hierarchical structure and the broad coverage taxonomy of Wordnet as the thesaurus-based ontology. However, the corpus-based method is rather complicated to handle in practical application. We propose a transformed latent semantic analysis (LSA) model as the corpus-based method in this paper. Moreover, two hybrid strategies, the combinations of the various similarity measures, are implemented in the clustering experiments. The results show that our GA clustering algorithm, in conjunction with the thesaurus-based and the LSA-based method, apparently outperforms that with other similarity measures. Moreover, the superiority of the GA clustering algorithm proposed over the commonly used k-means algorithm and the standard GA is demonstrated by the improvements of the clustering performance
5G Positioning and Mapping with Diffuse Multipath
5G mmWave communication is useful for positioning due to the geometric
connection between the propagation channel and the propagation environment.
Channel estimation methods can exploit the resulting sparsity to estimate
parameters(delay and angles) of each propagation path, which in turn can be
exploited for positioning and mapping. When paths exhibit significant spread in
either angle or delay, these methods breakdown or lead to significant biases.
We present a novel tensor-based method for channel estimation that allows
estimation of mmWave channel parameters in a non-parametric form. The method is
able to accurately estimate the channel, even in the absence of a specular
component. This in turn enables positioning and mapping using only diffuse
multipath. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the
proposed approach
From Frequency to Meaning: Vector Space Models of Semantics
Computers understand very little of the meaning of human language. This
profoundly limits our ability to give instructions to computers, the ability of
computers to explain their actions to us, and the ability of computers to
analyse and process text. Vector space models (VSMs) of semantics are beginning
to address these limits. This paper surveys the use of VSMs for semantic
processing of text. We organize the literature on VSMs according to the
structure of the matrix in a VSM. There are currently three broad classes of
VSMs, based on term-document, word-context, and pair-pattern matrices, yielding
three classes of applications. We survey a broad range of applications in these
three categories and we take a detailed look at a specific open source project
in each category. Our goal in this survey is to show the breadth of
applications of VSMs for semantics, to provide a new perspective on VSMs for
those who are already familiar with the area, and to provide pointers into the
literature for those who are less familiar with the field
Algorithmic and Statistical Perspectives on Large-Scale Data Analysis
In recent years, ideas from statistics and scientific computing have begun to
interact in increasingly sophisticated and fruitful ways with ideas from
computer science and the theory of algorithms to aid in the development of
improved worst-case algorithms that are useful for large-scale scientific and
Internet data analysis problems. In this chapter, I will describe two recent
examples---one having to do with selecting good columns or features from a (DNA
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data matrix, and the other having to do with
selecting good clusters or communities from a data graph (representing a social
or information network)---that drew on ideas from both areas and that may serve
as a model for exploiting complementary algorithmic and statistical
perspectives in order to solve applied large-scale data analysis problems.Comment: 33 pages. To appear in Uwe Naumann and Olaf Schenk, editors,

Recent Developments in Document Clustering
This report aims to give a brief overview of the current state of document clustering research and present recent developments in a well-organized manner. Clustering algorithms are considered with two hypothetical scenarios in mind: online query clustering with tight efficiency constraints, and offline clustering with an emphasis on accuracy. A comparative analysis of the algorithms is performed along with a table summarizing important properties, and open problems as well as directions for future research are discussed
