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
Wet Snow Flashover Characteristics of 500-kV AC Insulator Strings with Different Arrangements
In order to study the wet snow flashover characteristics of 500-kV AC insulator strings under different arrangements, wet snow flashover tests were carried out in the large climate chamber of China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI). The wet snow flashover voltages were obtained by the even-rising method and the flashovers were filmed by a camera. The test results showed that the installation of an anti-icing shed of large diameter could increase the wet snow flashover voltage. The distance between the two insulators was a key parameter that influenced the discharge process and the flashover voltage. Under Λ-string arrangement, for common insulators, the flashover performance of iced insulators increased with the connection angle; for anti-icing insulators, the flashover performance increased at first and then decreased with the connection angle. In wet snow conditions, when the connection angle was at the commonly adopted angle of 60°, the flashover performance of the common insulators under the V-string and Λ-string arrangements was almost the same. For anti-icing insulators, however, the V-string arrangement was recommended according to the tests. The results obtained in this study can provide a reference for external insulation design in wet snow conditions
