SEMAPRO 2011 Proceedings SEMAPRO 2011 The Fifth International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing ISBN: 978-1-61208-175-5 November 20-25, 2011 Lisbon, Portugal SEMAPRO 2011 Editors Pascal Lorenz, University of Haute Alsace, France Eckhard Ammann, Reutlingen University, Germany 1 / 129 SEMAPRO 2011 Foreword The Fifth International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing [SEMAPRO 2011], held between November 20 and 25, 2011 in Lisbon, Portugal, constituted the stage for the state-of-the-art on the most recent advances in ontology, web services, semantic social media, semantic web, deep semantic web, semantic networking and semantic reasoning. Semantic processing considers contextual dependencies and adds to the individually acquired knowledge emergent properties and understanding. Hardware and software support and platforms were developed for semantically enhanced information retrieval and interpretation. Searching for video, voice and speech [VVS] raises additional problems to specialized engines with respect to text search. Contextual searching and special patterns- based techniques are current solutions. We take here the opportunity to warmly thank all the members of the SEMAPRO 2011 Technical Program Committee, as well as the numerous reviewers. The creation of such a broad and high quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors who dedicated much of their time and efforts to contribute to SEMAPRO 2011. We truly believe that, thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consisted of top quality contributions. Also, this event could not have been a reality without the support of many individuals, organizations, and sponsors. We are grateful to the members of the SEMAPRO 2011 organizing committee for their help in handling the logistics and for their work to make this professional meeting a success. We hope that SEMAPRO 2011 was a successful international forum for the exchange of ideas and results between academia and industry and for the promotion of progress in the area of semantic processing. We are convinced that the participants found the event useful and communications very open. We also hope the attendees enjoyed the historic charm of Lisbon, Portugal.

  • Discovery Strategy Recommendation
    Discovery Strategy Recommendation September 2013 Sam Popowich, Discovery Systems Librarian FINAL Executive Summary Discovery solutions have come a long way from the days of the OPAC and the “next-generation catalogue”. Their systems and design considerations have attempted to keep pace with the development of the web more generally, without ever being generally successful. This lack of success means that we must investigate ways in which users’ attention and workflow have changed since the development of the web. Serious consideration has to be given to exposing our data as widely as possible and making our services available within a user's workflow, rather than forcing the user to come to us. Our discovery strategies must allow for both outside-in and inside-out discovery. No single system is capable of doing this, so any strategy we undertake must combine disparate systems into a single overarching solution. Given their lack of flexibility and customizability, as well as their cost and difficulty of installation and maintenance, none of the commercial discovery solutions are adequate on their own for a library-wide discovery strategy. However, an article-level knowledge base is indispensable for any discovery strategy to be viable and useful. The recommendation of this report, then, is to combine an existing commercial solution, preferably Ebsco Discovery Service, with a lightweight open-source discovery layer that will allow us extensive customizability as well as the ability to index any and all material we have available. My recommendation is to continue to license Ebsco Discovery Service and use its API to present its knowledge base data as one pane of a “bento box” display driven by Blacklight.

  • Contextual Query-Driven E-News Summarisation
    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 IARJSET ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology ISO 3297:2007 Certified Vol. 5, Issue 6, June 2018 Contextual Query-Driven e-News Summarisation Kailash Karthik S1, Dakshina K2, Hariprasad KR3, Abha Suman4 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirapalli, India 1, 2, 3, 4 Abstract: Given the phenomenal abundance in quantity of news available over the electronic medium, extraction of consolidated information from raw data has become important. Extraction of relevant textual content from E-News portals has become increasingly challenging due to CMSs and the dynamic nature of web pages. In this paper, a technique that provides condensed news information based on user preferences is presented. Information retrieval from the articles is based on TF-IDF, augmented by a novel transitive closure algorithm that adds context to the search. The impact of techniques like article tagging and coreference resolution on the retrieval of semantically and contextually related content is studied. The proposed system improves search latency through the separation of text processing and information extraction processes. Once information is extracted, summarized content based on user queries from different source portals is presented. The system achieves high precision and recall for both generic and domain- specific user queries. Keywords: Information retrieval, natural language processing, text summarisation, text mining I. INTRODUCTION The explosive growth of the internet and its information services has created a problem of information overload. The magnitude of information available has risen exponentially, making it impossible to consume it all. Extraction of relevant information has thus become indispensable at this juncture.
