Automatic Discovery and Ranking of Synonyms for Search Keywords in the Web

Search engines are an indispensable part of a web user's life. A vast majority of these web users experience difficulties caused by the keyword-based search engines such as inaccurate results for queries and irrelevant URLs even though the given keyword is present in them. Also, relevant URLs may be lost as they may have the synonym of the keyword and not the original one. This condition is known as the polysemy problem. To alleviate these problems, we propose an algorithm called automatic discovery and ranking of synonyms for search keywords in the web (ADRS). The proposed method generates a list of candidate synonyms for individual keywords by employing the relevance factor of the URLs associated with the synonyms. Then, ranking of these candidate synonyms is done using co-occurrence frequencies and various page count-based measures. One of the major advantages of our algorithm is that it is highly scalable which makes it applicable to online data on the dynamic, domain-independent and unstructured World Wide Web. The experimental results show that the best results are obtained using the proposed algorithm with WebJaccard

Dynamic management of traffic signals through social IoT

Traffic congestion is a major threat to transportation sector in every urban city around the world. This causes many adverse effects like, heavy fuel consumption, increased waiting time, pollution, etc. and pose an eminent challenge to the movement of emergency vehicles. To achieve better driving we proceed towards a trending research field called Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV). A social network paradigm that permits the establishment of social relationships among every vehicle in the network or with any road infrastructure can be radically helpful. This holds as the aim of SIoV, to be beneficial for the drivers, in improving the road safety, avoiding mishaps, and have a friendly-driving environment. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic congestion control with Throughput Maximization scheme based on Social Aspect (D-TMSA) utilizing the social, behavioral and preference-based relationships. Our proposed

TASB-AC: Term Annotated Sliding-Window-Based Boosting Associative Classifier for DNA Repair Gene Categorization

Damage to DNA affects the biochemical pathways of the cell and leads to aging, if not repaired. Several genes in the genome of an organism are responsible for DNA repair activities, however, not all of them are related to the biological aging process. In this paper, we develop a data mining technique to relate association of DNA repair genes with the aging process of the organism. Nucleotide sequence of the DNA repair genes is annotated with their respective biochemical properties and is then converted to a transactional dataset. Further, biological features are extracted from the dataset by constructing an associative classifier. To select significant gene features, we employ sliding-window technique to divide the gene sequence into subsequences and thus increase their count. An extensive evaluation is performed of the proposed technique by taking human DNA repair genes along with their biochemical

Drcm: Dynamic Relationship Creation and Management in Social Internet of Things

As internet of things (IoT) is overpopulated with a multitude of objects, services and interactions locating the most relevant object is emerging as a major obstacle. Over the last few years, the social internet of things (SIoT) paradigm, where objects independently establish social relationships with the other things has become popular as it provides several new characteristics to carryout reliable discovery approaches. Given a large scale deployment of socially connected objects, finding the shortest path to reach the service provider remains as a fundamental challenge. Most of the existing techniques, search for a specific object or service utilising its friendship or friends of friends connections. As a result, each object has to manage a large set of friends, thus slowing down the search process. In this paper, we propose a similarity based object search mechanism that dynamically creates and manages relationships based on physical location proximity and social context of users in social communities. The result shows enhancement in the proposed method over the existing search techniques FSS, FSASV and LSFGA in terms of local cluster coefficients, the average degree of connections and average path length

Energy aware resource allocation and complexity reduction approach for cognitive radio networks using game theory

Nowadays, the demand for mobile wireless communication systems has increased drastically due to its significant use for various real-time applications. This increased demand for communication causes heavy utilization of the radio spectrum to improve ubiquitous computing services. However, systems providing high-speed communication fail to achieve the desired performance due to unsystematic spectrum utilization and resources. The problem addressed by Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) architecture has attracted research and industrial community to enhance the real-time communication systems. Although CRN based real-time communication systems suffer from resource allocation, spectrum sensing, and power consumption issues. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for resource allocation and sharing based on cooperative game theory, and cooperative node selection ensures maximized

SSSSS: search for social similar smart objects in SIoT

As Internet of Things (IoT) is overpopulated with multitude of objects, services and interactions, efficiently locating the most relevant object is emerging as a major obstacle. Over the last few years, the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) paradigm, where objects independently establish social relationships among them, has become more popular as it provides a number of exciting characteristics to boost network navigability and carryout reliable discovery approaches. Given a large scale deployment of socially connected objects, finding the shortest path to reach the service provider remains as a fundamental challenge. In most of the existing search techniques, the physical significance of the objects is not very well explained and the geographical location of mobile objects is not considered. In this paper, to improve the search performance over the SIoT, we propose a novel object search mechanism based on physical

Automatic Discovery of Synonyms from the Web based on Inbound Anchor Text

Accurate results for queries of keyword based search engines are hard to come by as the queries may return irrelevant URLs even though the given keyword is present in them and some relevant URLs may be lost as they may have the synonym of the keyword and not the original one. The proposed algorithm provides solutions for these problems by making use of the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) to generate a ranked list of candidate synonyms for individual keywords where the relevance of the URLs depicted by these synonyms is proved by comparing it with the URL depicted by the original keyword. This scalable technique can be applied to online data on the dynamic, domain-independent and unstructured World Wide Web. The candidate synonyms are ranked using Co-occurrence Frequencies and various page count based measures. The experimental results show that the best results are obtained

Non-conventional osmotic solutes (honey and glycerol) improve mass transfer and extend shelf life of hot-air dried red carrots: Kinetics, quality, bioactivity, microstructure, and storage stability

The effect of solutes (sucrose, honey and glycerol) on mass transfer kinetics, physico-chemical and biological quality, and shelf life of red carrot slices (RCSs) obtained by hot-air drying at 60 degrees C/6-8 h was studied. RCSs were osmosed for 24 h in sucrose (S), sucrose + honey (SH), honey (H) and sucrose + glycerol (SGL) before drying. Honey and glycerol enhanced the water loss (WL) and solute gain (SG), giving higher values for Peleg's model constants (k(1), WL = 6.9 and 6.5, for H and SGL, respectively; k(1), SG = 92.8 and 73.5, for H and SGL, respectively). Decreased viscosity of osmotic solutions corresponded with the solute effect on WL and SG, reaching equilibrium after 16 h. Different quality parameters were significantly affected by the solute type and storage time (P < 0.05). Higher beta-carotene content (7.82 g/100 g) and antioxidant activity (35.9%) values were found in honey-treated carrots. Higher SG might result in improved color parameters and least physical damage as revealed through SEM images in honey and glycerol-treated carrots. The lowest yeast and mould count (0.52 log CFU/g) was observed in SGL treatment after 5 months of storage.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
