A User-Centered Concept Mining System for Query and Document Understanding at Tencent
Concepts embody the knowledge of the world and facilitate the cognitive
processes of human beings. Mining concepts from web documents and constructing
the corresponding taxonomy are core research problems in text understanding and
support many downstream tasks such as query analysis, knowledge base
construction, recommendation, and search. However, we argue that most prior
studies extract formal and overly general concepts from Wikipedia or static web
pages, which are not representing the user perspective. In this paper, we
describe our experience of implementing and deploying ConcepT in Tencent QQ
Browser. It discovers user-centered concepts at the right granularity
conforming to user interests, by mining a large amount of user queries and
interactive search click logs. The extracted concepts have the proper
granularity, are consistent with user language styles and are dynamically
updated. We further present our techniques to tag documents with user-centered
concepts and to construct a topic-concept-instance taxonomy, which has helped
to improve search as well as news feeds recommendation in Tencent QQ Browser.
We performed extensive offline evaluation to demonstrate that our approach
could extract concepts of higher quality compared to several other existing
methods. Our system has been deployed in Tencent QQ Browser. Results from
online A/B testing involving a large number of real users suggest that the
Impression Efficiency of feeds users increased by 6.01% after incorporating the
user-centered concepts into the recommendation framework of Tencent QQ Browser.Comment: Accepted by KDD 201
Duration modeling with semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields for keyphrase extraction
Existing methods for keyphrase extraction need preprocessing to generate
candidate phrase or post-processing to transform keyword into keyphrase. In
this paper, we propose a novel approach called duration modeling with
semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields (DM-SMCRFs) for keyphrase extraction.
First of all, based on the property of semi-Markov chain, DM-SMCRFs can encode
segment-level features and sequentially classify the phrase in the sentence as
keyphrase or non-keyphrase. Second, by assuming the independence between state
transition and state duration, DM-SMCRFs model the distribution of duration
(length) of keyphrases to further explore state duration information, which can
help identify the size of keyphrase. Based on the convexity of parametric
duration feature derived from duration distribution, a constrained Viterbi
algorithm is derived to improve the performance of decoding in DM-SMCRFs. We
thoroughly evaluate the performance of DM-SMCRFs on the datasets from various
domains. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed
model
AliCG: Fine-grained and Evolvable Conceptual Graph Construction for Semantic Search at Alibaba
Conceptual graphs, which is a particular type of Knowledge Graphs, play an
essential role in semantic search. Prior conceptual graph construction
approaches typically extract high-frequent, coarse-grained, and time-invariant
concepts from formal texts. In real applications, however, it is necessary to
extract less-frequent, fine-grained, and time-varying conceptual knowledge and
build taxonomy in an evolving manner. In this paper, we introduce an approach
to implementing and deploying the conceptual graph at Alibaba. Specifically, We
propose a framework called AliCG which is capable of a) extracting fine-grained
concepts by a novel bootstrapping with alignment consensus approach, b) mining
long-tail concepts with a novel low-resource phrase mining approach, c)
updating the graph dynamically via a concept distribution estimation method
based on implicit and explicit user behaviors. We have deployed the framework
at Alibaba UC Browser. Extensive offline evaluation as well as online A/B
testing demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.Comment: Accepted by KDD 2021 (Applied Data Science Track
Consensus-based Approach for Keyword Extraction from Urban Events Collections
Automatic keyword extraction (AKE) from textual sources took a valuable step towards harnessing the problem of efficient scanning of large document collections. Particularly in the context of urban mobility, where the most relevant events in the city are advertised on-line, it becomes difficult to know exactly what is happening in a place./nIn this paper we tackle this problem by extracting a set of keywords from different kinds of textual sources, focusing on the urban events context. We propose an ensemble of automatic keyword extraction systems KEA (Key-phrase Extraction Algorithm) and KUSCO (Knowledge Unsupervised Search for instantiating Concepts on lightweight Ontologies) and Conditional Random Fields (CRF)./nUnlike KEA and KUSCO which are well-known tools for automatic keyword extraction, CRF needs further pre-processing. Therefore, a tool for handling AKE from the documents using CRF is developed. The architecture for the AKE ensemble system is designed and efficient integration of component applications is presented in which a consensus between such classifiers is achieved. Finally, we empirically show that our AKE ensemble system significantly succeeds on baseline sources and urban events collections

Automatic keyphrase extraction on Amazon reviews
People are facing severe challenges posed by big data. As an important type of the online text, product reviews have evoked much research interest because of their commercial potential. This thesis takes Amazon camera reviews as the research focus and implements an automatic keyphrase extraction system. The system consists of three modules, including the Crawler module, the Extraction module, and the Web module. The Crawler module is responsible for capturing Amazon product reviews. The Web module is responsible for obtaining user input and displaying the final results. The Extraction module is the core processing module of the system, which analyzes product reviews according to the following sequence: (1) Pre-processing of review data, including removal of stop words and segmentation. ( 2) Candidate keyphrase extraction. Through the Spacy part-of speech tagger and Dependency parser, the dependency relationships of each review sentence are obtained, and then the feature and opinion words are extracted based on several predefined dependency rules. (3) Candidate keyphrase clustering. By using a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, the candidate keyphrases are clustered according to their topics . ( 4) Candidate keyphrase ranking. Two different algorithms, LDA-TFIDF and LDA-MT, are applied to rank the keyphrases in different clusters to get the representative keyphrases. The experimental results show that the system performs well in the task of keyphrase extraction
Tint, the Swiss-Army Tool for Natural Language Processing in Italian
In this we paper present the last version of Tint, an opensource, fast and extendable Natural Language Processing suite for Italian based on Stanford CoreNLP. The new release includes a set of text processing components for fine-grained linguistic analysis, from tokenization to relation extraction, including part-of-speech tagging, morphological analysis, lemmatization, multi-word expression recognition, dependency parsing, named-entity recognition, keyword extraction, and much more. Tint is written in Java freely distributed under the GPL license. Although some modules do not perform at a state-of-the-art level, Tint reaches very good accuracy in all modules, and can be easily used out-of-the-box
