KIBS Innovative Entrepreneurship Networks on Social Media
The analysis of the use of social media for innovative entrepreneurship in
the context has received little attention in the literature, especially in the
context of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS). Therefore, this paper
focuses on bridging this gap by applying text mining and sentiment analysis
techniques to identify the innovative entrepreneurship reflected by these
companies in their social media. Finally, we present and analyze the results of
our quantitative analysis of 23.483 posts based on eleven Spanish and Italian
consultancy KIBS Twitter Usernames and Keywords using data interpretation
techniques such as clustering and topic modeling. This paper suggests that
there is a significant gap between the perceived potential of social media and
the entrepreneurial behaviors at the social context in business-to-business
(B2B) companies.Comment: This paper was presented on the EU-SPRI Early Career Researcher

BioCaster: detecting public health rumors with a Web-based text mining system
Summary: BioCaster is an ontology-based text mining system for detecting and tracking the distribution of infectious disease outbreaks from linguistic signals on the Web. The system continuously analyzes documents reported from over 1700 RSS feeds, classifies them for topical relevance and plots them onto a Google map using geocoded information. The background knowledge for bridging the gap between Layman's terms and formal-coding systems is contained in the freely available BioCaster ontology which includes information in eight languages focused on the epidemiological role of pathogens as well as geographical locations with their latitudes/longitudes. The system consists of four main stages: topic classification, named entity recognition (NER), disease/location detection and event recognition. Higher order event analysis is used to detect more precisely specified warning signals that can then be notified to registered users via email alerts. Evaluation of the system for topic recognition and entity identification is conducted on a gold standard corpus of annotated news articles
Comparing knowledge sources for nominal anaphora resolution
We compare two ways of obtaining lexical knowledge for antecedent selection in other-anaphora
and definite noun phrase coreference. Specifically, we compare an algorithm that relies on links
encoded in the manually created lexical hierarchy WordNet and an algorithm that mines corpora
by means of shallow lexico-semantic patterns. As corpora we use the British National
Corpus (BNC), as well as the Web, which has not been previously used for this task. Our
results show that (a) the knowledge encoded in WordNet is often insufficient, especially for
anaphor-antecedent relations that exploit subjective or context-dependent knowledge; (b) for
other-anaphora, the Web-based method outperforms the WordNet-based method; (c) for definite
NP coreference, the Web-based method yields results comparable to those obtained using
WordNet over the whole dataset and outperforms the WordNet-based method on subsets of the
dataset; (d) in both case studies, the BNC-based method is worse than the other methods because
of data sparseness. Thus, in our studies, the Web-based method alleviated the lexical knowledge
gap often encountered in anaphora resolution, and handled examples with context-dependent relations
between anaphor and antecedent. Because it is inexpensive and needs no hand-modelling
of lexical knowledge, it is a promising knowledge source to integrate in anaphora resolution systems
Overcoming Language Dichotomies: Toward Effective Program Comprehension for Mobile App Development
Mobile devices and platforms have become an established target for modern
software developers due to performant hardware and a large and growing user
base numbering in the billions. Despite their popularity, the software
development process for mobile apps comes with a set of unique, domain-specific
challenges rooted in program comprehension. Many of these challenges stem from
developer difficulties in reasoning about different representations of a
program, a phenomenon we define as a "language dichotomy". In this paper, we
reflect upon the various language dichotomies that contribute to open problems
in program comprehension and development for mobile apps. Furthermore, to help
guide the research community towards effective solutions for these problems, we
provide a roadmap of directions for future work.Comment: Invited Keynote Paper for the 26th IEEE/ACM International Conference

Automatic semantic video annotation in wide domain videos based on similarity and commonsense knowledgebases
In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for automatic Semantic Video Annotation. As this framework detects possible events occurring in video clips, it forms the annotating base of video search engine. To achieve this purpose, the system has to able to operate on uncontrolled wide-domain videos. Thus, all layers have to be based on generic features.
This framework aims to bridge the "semantic gap", which is the difference between the low-level visual features and the human's perception, by finding videos with similar visual events, then analyzing their free text annotation to find a common area then to decide the best description for this new video using commonsense knowledgebases.
Experiments were performed on wide-domain video clips from the TRECVID 2005 BBC rush standard database. Results from these experiments show promising integrity between those two layers in order to find expressing annotations for the input video. These results were evaluated based on retrieval performance
