  • Combining Substructures to Uncover the Relational Web
    Combining Substructures to Uncover The Relational Web B. Cenk Gazen Computer Science Department Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 [email protected] June 25th, 2004 Thesis Committee: Jaime Carbonell, Carnegie Mellon University (chair) William Cohen, Carnegie Mellon University John Lafferty, Carnegie Mellon University Steven Minton, Fetch Technologies Abstract I describe an approach to automatically convert web-sites into relational form. The approach relies on the existence of multiple types of substructure within a collection of pages from a web-site. Corresponding to each substructure is an expert that generates a set of simple hints for the particular collection. Each hint describes the alignment of some tokens within relations. An optimization algorithm then finds the relational representation of the given web site such that the likelihood of observing the hints from the relational representation is maximized. The contributions of the thesis will be a new approach for combining heterogeneous sub- structures in document collections, an implemented system that will make massive amounts of web data available to applications that use only structured data, and new search tech- niques in probabilistic constraint satisfaction. 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation Even though the amount of information on the web has been growing at an incredible rate, software applications have only been able to make use of it in limited ways, such as spidering and indexing of words on a page, activities that do not require a deep understanding. This is mainly because as data is transformed into web format, its inherent structure is replaced with formatting structure that makes the data easier to absorb for humans but harder for computers.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.
