It has been recently reported1 by Twitter that every month, 248 million users access the microblogging platform, and create around 500 million posts everyday in more than 35 languages. This tremendous growth gives an oppor- tunity to mine useful information that is being shared across social media. However, there exists a 140 character limitation on the posts (also known as “tweets”) that users can create on Twitter. This results in heavy use of emoticons, abbreviations, misspellings and has lead to various linguistic “innovations” that render the traditional text analysis techniques less effective. Another interesting aspect of such tweets is the usage of semantico-syntactical constructs called “hashtags”. Hashtags are “#”-prefixed keywords used by people in order to organise the meaning of their tweets. Also, hashtags enable classification of tweets, since the posts using same or similar hash- tags are expected to be semantically related to each other. The challenge posed by hashtags is the fact that most hashtags are not simply “#”-prefixed keywords, but “#” symbol prefixed with concatenation of various words or phrases which are not space delimited. For example, consider the hashtag - “#NSAvsS- nowden”. We observe that this hashtag is essentially “NSA vs Snowden”, which is not a single keyword, but a concatenation of various words. In this thesis, we discuss and compare various approaches in order to “segment” the hashtag into meaningful words. Also, our task extends beyond just the segmentation of hashtag - we present a unified framework to also perform “entity-linking” on various constituent entities in a hashtag. Entity Linking is an established IR task, where the goal is to extract latent semantics from plain text by linking the text to a knowledge base (KB) such as Wikipedia. Consider, for example, the following text - “Snowden reveals classified information from NSA”, we first need to identify various entities in this piece of text, followed by “disambiguating” them, and establishing a link between those entities and some knowledge base (KB) so that we have additional contextual information available about the concerned entity. This approach has been found to be instrumental in order to teach the meaning of text to machines, which is otherwise meant for human consumption. 1https://about.twitter.com/company vi vii Hence, after performing entity linking on the segmented hashtag - “Snowden vs NSA”, we would have enriched the text with additional semantic information by establishing links between “Snow- den” and corresponding Wikipedia page - “Edward Snowden”, between “NSA” and “National Security Agency”. “NSA”, in principle, could also refer to “National Sports Academy” or “National Security Act”, and this is exactly where “disambiguation” becomes important for mention-resolving, which employs contextual information to perform this task. Since hashtags are human curated labels associated to tweets, our premise is that segmenting and linking the entities present within the hashtags could therefore help in better understanding and extrac- tion of information shared across the social media. Traditionally, most of the IR tasks have treated hashtags as either a single word, or have ignored them for all practical purposes. We demonstrate how extraction of semantics from tweets improved, when additional semantic information was made avail- able by our system by segmenting and entity-linking hashtags. We demonstrate this by performing various experiments on NEEL Challenge Dataset, and a human annotated subset of Stanford Senti- ment Analysis Dataset, which has also been made public to ease future research in this area. We have achieved the P@1 score of 0.914 on NEEL Dataset and 0.873 on the manually annotated Stanford Sen- timent Analysis Dataset for hashtag segmentation and linking. We also showcase how our approach leads to improvements in the task of “Semantic Microblog retrieval” and “Semantic Hashtag retrieval”. Microblog retrieval refers to retrieval of a ranked list of microposts given a query Q. Hashtag retrieval, on the other hand is a relatively newer IR task. It basically refers to retrieving a ranked list of the top-k hashtags relevant to a user’s query Q. To retrieve information related to a user’s interest, for instance, “Rock concerts”, it’d be very helpful to the user if they can be suggested a list of hashtags which are commonly used in relation to “Rock concerts”. By tracking these hashtags, a user can gain information about rock concerts via the posted tweets. However, it’s not possible for the user to manually figure out all the hashtags that are used across Twitter, relevant to their interest. In this thesis, we also address this problem. In order to solve these two retrieval problems, we propose and discuss a virtual document structure, which we refer to as Semantically Enriched Microblog Document (SEMD), and experiment with various psuedo-blind relevance feedback mechanisms. We tested our approach on the publicly available Stanford sentiment analysis tweet corpus. We observed an improvement of more than 10% in NDCG for microblog retrieval task, and around 11% in mean average precision for hashtag retrieval task. We experiment with some interesting aspects of search engine evaluation in context of our tasks. Our work presents elaborate discussion on various aspects of hashtag analysis. In this manner, we hope that it drives fruitful research in various tasks of microblog IR in the future by drawing attention towards hashtags.

  • Modeling and Analyzing Latency in the Memcached System
    Modeling and Analyzing Latency in the Memcached system Wenxue Cheng1, Fengyuan Ren1, Wanchun Jiang2, Tong Zhang1 1Tsinghua National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology, Beijing, China 1Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 2School of Information Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China March 27, 2017 abstract Memcached is a widely used in-memory caching solution in large-scale searching scenarios. The most pivotal performance metric in Memcached is latency, which is affected by various factors including the workload pattern, the service rate, the unbalanced load distribution and the cache miss ratio. To quantitate the impact of each factor on latency, we establish a theoretical model for the Memcached system. Specially, we formulate the unbalanced load distribution among Memcached servers by a set of probabilities, capture the burst and concurrent key arrivals at Memcached servers in form of batching blocks, and add a cache miss processing stage. Based on this model, algebraic derivations are conducted to estimate latency in Memcached. The latency estimation is validated by intensive experiments. Moreover, we obtain a quantitative understanding of how much improvement of latency performance can be achieved by optimizing each factor and provide several useful recommendations to optimal latency in Memcached. Keywords Memcached, Latency, Modeling, Quantitative Analysis 1 Introduction Memcached [1] has been adopted in many large-scale websites, including Facebook, LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Flickr, Twitter and Youtube. In Memcached, a web request will generate hundreds of Memcached keys that will be further processed in the memory of parallel Memcached servers. With this parallel in-memory processing method, Memcached can extensively speed up and scale up searching applications [2].

    Bachelor’s Thesis Information Technology 2011 Kenneth Emeka Odoh DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB- BASED AUCTION SYSTEM ii BACHELOR’S THESIS (UAS) │ABSTRACT TURKU UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Information Technology | Networking Date of completion of the thesis | 12th January 2012 Instructor: Ferm Tiina Kenneth Emeka Odoh DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB- BASED AUCTION SYSTEM Electronic auction has been a popular means of goods distribution. The number of items sold through the internet auction sites have grown in the past few years. Evidently, this has become the medium of choice for customers. This project entails the design and implementation of a web-based auction system for users to trade in goods. The system was implemented in the Django framework. On account that the trade over the Internet lacks any means of ascertaining the quality of goods, there is a need to implement a feedback system to rate the seller’s credibility in order to increase customer confidence in a given business. The feedback system is based on the history of the customer’s rating of the previous seller’s transactions. As a result, the auction system has a built-in feedback system to enhance the credibility of the auction system. The project was designed by using a modular approach to ensure maintainability. There is a number of engines that were implemented in order to enhance the functionality of the auction system. They include the following: commenting engine, search engine, business intelligence (user analytic and statistics), graph engine, advertisement engine and recommendation engine. As a result of this thesis undertaking, a full-fledged system robust enough to handle small or medium-sized traffic has been developed to specification.
