A comparative study of Bayesian models for unsupervised sentiment detection
This paper presents a comparative study of three closely related Bayesian models for unsupervised document level sentiment classification, namely, the latent sentiment model (LSM), the joint sentimenttopic (JST) model, and the Reverse-JST model. Extensive experiments have been conducted on two corpora, the movie review dataset and the multi-domain sentiment dataset. It has been found that while all the three models achieve either better or comparable performance on these two corpora when compared to the existing unsupervised sentiment classification approaches, both JST and Reverse-JST are able to extract sentiment-oriented topics. In addition, Reverse-JST always performs worse than JST suggesting that the JST model is more appropriate for joint sentiment topic detection
Deep Multi-view Learning to Rank
We study the problem of learning to rank from multiple information sources.
Though multi-view learning and learning to rank have been studied extensively
leading to a wide range of applications, multi-view learning to rank as a
synergy of both topics has received little attention. The aim of the paper is
to propose a composite ranking method while keeping a close correlation with
the individual rankings simultaneously. We present a generic framework for
multi-view subspace learning to rank (MvSL2R), and two novel solutions are
introduced under the framework. The first solution captures information of
feature mappings from within each view as well as across views using
autoencoder-like networks. Novel feature embedding methods are formulated in
the optimization of multi-view unsupervised and discriminant autoencoders.
Moreover, we introduce an end-to-end solution to learning towards both the
joint ranking objective and the individual rankings. The proposed solution
enhances the joint ranking with minimum view-specific ranking loss, so that it
can achieve the maximum global view agreements in a single optimization
process. The proposed method is evaluated on three different ranking problems,
i.e. university ranking, multi-view lingual text ranking and image data
ranking, providing superior results compared to related methods.Comment: Published at IEEE TKD
mARC: Memory by Association and Reinforcement of Contexts
This paper introduces the memory by Association and Reinforcement of Contexts
(mARC). mARC is a novel data modeling technology rooted in the second
quantization formulation of quantum mechanics. It is an all-purpose incremental
and unsupervised data storage and retrieval system which can be applied to all
types of signal or data, structured or unstructured, textual or not. mARC can
be applied to a wide range of information clas-sification and retrieval
problems like e-Discovery or contextual navigation. It can also for-mulated in
the artificial life framework a.k.a Conway "Game Of Life" Theory. In contrast
to Conway approach, the objects evolve in a massively multidimensional space.
In order to start evaluating the potential of mARC we have built a mARC-based
Internet search en-gine demonstrator with contextual functionality. We compare
the behavior of the mARC demonstrator with Google search both in terms of
performance and relevance. In the study we find that the mARC search engine
demonstrator outperforms Google search by an order of magnitude in response
time while providing more relevant results for some classes of queries
apk2vec: Semi-supervised multi-view representation learning for profiling Android applications
Building behavior profiles of Android applications (apps) with holistic, rich
and multi-view information (e.g., incorporating several semantic views of an
app such as API sequences, system calls, etc.) would help catering downstream
analytics tasks such as app categorization, recommendation and malware analysis
significantly better. Towards this goal, we design a semi-supervised
Representation Learning (RL) framework named apk2vec to automatically generate
a compact representation (aka profile/embedding) for a given app. More
specifically, apk2vec has the three following unique characteristics which make
it an excellent choice for largescale app profiling: (1) it encompasses
information from multiple semantic views such as API sequences, permissions,
etc., (2) being a semi-supervised embedding technique, it can make use of
labels associated with apps (e.g., malware family or app category labels) to
build high quality app profiles, and (3) it combines RL and feature hashing
which allows it to efficiently build profiles of apps that stream over time
(i.e., online learning). The resulting semi-supervised multi-view hash
embeddings of apps could then be used for a wide variety of downstream tasks
such as the ones mentioned above. Our extensive evaluations with more than
42,000 apps demonstrate that apk2vec's app profiles could significantly
outperform state-of-the-art techniques in four app analytics tasks namely,
malware detection, familial clustering, app clone detection and app
recommendation.Comment: International Conference on Data Mining, 201
