Introduction In the era of WWW, people need to search and get information fast online or offline which make people rely on Question Answering System (QAS). One of the common and traditionally use QAS is Frequently Ask Question site which contains common and straight forward answer. Currently, QAS have emerge as powerful platform using various techniques such as information retrieval, Knowledge Base, Natural Language Processing and Hybrid Based which enable user to retrieve exact answer for questions posed in natural language using either pre-structured database or a collection of natural language documents [1,4]. The demand of QAS increases day by day since it delivers short, precise and question-specific answer [10]. QAS with using knowledge base paradigm are better in Restricted- domain QA system since it ability to focus [12]. -
QUERY-DRIVEN TEXT ANALYTICS for KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION, RESOLUTION, and INFERENCE by CHRISTAN EARL GRANT a DISSERTATION PRESENTED
QUERY-DRIVEN TEXT ANALYTICS FOR KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION, RESOLUTION, AND INFERENCE By CHRISTAN EARL GRANT A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 c 2015 Christan Earl Grant To Jesus my Savior, Vanisia my wife, my daughter Caliah, soon to be born son and my parents and siblings, whom I strive to impress. Also, to all my brothers and sisters battling injustice while I battled bugs and deadlines. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I had an opportunity to see my dad, a software engineer from Jamaica work extremely hard to get a master's degree and work as a software engineer. I even had the privilege of sitting in some of his classes as he taught at a local university. Watching my dad work towards intellectual endeavors made me believe that anything is possible. I am extremely privileged to have someone I could look up to as an example of being a man, father, and scholar. I had my first taste of research when Dr. Joachim Hammer went out of his way to find a task for me on one of his research projects because I was interested in attending graduate school. After working with the team for a few weeks he was willing to give me increased responsibility | he let me attend the 2006 SIGMOD Conference in Chicago. It was at this that my eyes were opened to the world of database research. As an early graduate student Dr. Joseph Wilson exercised superhuman patience with me as I learned to grasp the fundamentals of paper writing. -

Es ist im Grunde eine Einstellung, die zugibt, daß ich mich irren kann, daß Du Recht haben kannst und daß wir zusammen vielleicht der Wahrheit auf die Spur kommen." { Karl Popper Abstract The Web of Data is the current shape of the Semantic Web that gained momentum outside of the research community and becomes publicly visible. It is a matter of fact that the Web of Data does not fully exploit the primarily intended technology stack. Instead, the so called Linked Data design issues [BL06], which are the basis for the Web of Data, rely on the much more lightweight technologies. Openly avail- able structured Web data sets are at the beginning of being used in real-world applications. The Linked Data research community investigates the overall goal to approach the Web-scale data integration problem in a way that distributes efforts between three contributing stakeholders on the Web of Data { the data publishers, the data consumers, and third parties. -

Ontology-Driven Automation of Iot-Based Human-Machine Interfaces Development?
Ontology-Driven Automation of IoT-Based Human-Machine Interfaces Development? Konstantin Ryabinin1[0000−0002−8353−7641], Svetlana Chuprina1[0000−0002−2103−3771], and Konstantin Belousov1[0000−0003−4447−1288] Perm State University, Bukireva Str. 15, 614990, Perm, Russia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The paper is devoted to the development of high-level tools to automate tangible human-machine interfaces creation bringing to- gether IoT technologies and ontology engineering methods. We propose using ontology-driven approach to enable automatic generation of firmware for the devices and middleware for the applications to design from scratch or transform the existing M2M ecosystem with respect to new human needs and, if necessary, to transform M2M systems into human-centric ones. Thanks to our previous research, we developed the firmware and middleware generator on top of SciVi scientific visualization system that was proven to be a handy tool to integrate different data sources, in- cluding software solvers and hardware data providers, for monitoring and steering purposes. The high-level graphical user SciVi interface en- ables to design human-machine communication in terms of data flow and ontological specifications. Thereby the SciVi platform capabilities are sufficient to automatically generate all the necessary components for IoT ecosystem software. We tested our approach tackling the real-world problems of creating hardware device turning human gestures into se- mantics of spatiotemporal deixis, which relates to the verbal behavior of people having different psychological types. The device firmware gener- ated by means of SciVi tools enables researchers to understand complex matters and helps them analyze the linguistic behavior of users of so- cial networks with different psychological characteristics, and identify patterns inherent in their communication in social networks. -

Vyas Department of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, India [email protected] Abstract- Ontologies provide features like a common vocabulary, reusability, machine-readable content, and also allows for semantic search, facilitate agent interaction and ordering & structuring of knowledge for the Semantic Web (Web 3.0) application. However, the challenge in ontology engineering is automatic learning, i.e., the there is still a lack of fully automatic approach from a text corpus or dataset of various topics to form ontology using machine learning techniques. In this paper, two topic modeling algorithms are explored, namely LSI & SVD and Mr.LDA for learning topic ontology. The objective is to determine the statistical relationship between document and terms to build a topic ontology and ontology graph with minimum human intervention. Experimental analysis on building a topic ontology and semantic retrieving corresponding topic ontology for the user‟s query demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A Comparative Analysis for English and Ukrainian Texts Processing Based on Semantics and Syntax Approach
A Comparative Analysis for English and Ukrainian Texts Processing Based on Semantics and Syntax Approach Victoria Vysotska, Svitlana Holoshchuk and Roman Holoshchuk Lviv Polytechnic National University, S. Bandera Street, 12, Lviv, 79013, Ukraine Abstract The article deals with the application of generating grammars in linguistic modelling. Analysis of sentence syntax modelling is used to automate studying and synthesising natural language texts. The complex research of automatic processing of English and Ukrainian texts considering the semantics and syntax of natural languages is conducted. A comparative linguistic approach to the syntax and semantics of English and Ukrainian languages synthesises the corpora of natural language texts. The automatic operation of relevant text data is carried out. Comparative analysis of these languages facilitates the development of the linguistic algorithm for converting natural language texts of Germanic and Slavic type.

Exploring Digital Preservation Strategies Using DLT in the Context Of
Forget-me-block Exploring digital preservation strategies using Distributed Ledger Technology in the context of personal information management By JAMES DAVID HACKMAN Department of Computer Science UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Science by advanced study in Computer Science in the Faculty of Engineering. 15TH SEPTEMBER 2020 arXiv:2011.05759v1 [cs.CY] 2 Nov 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY eceived wisdom portrays digital records as guaranteeing perpetuity; as the New York Times wrote a decade ago: “the web means the end of forgetting” [1]. The Rreality however is that digital records suffer similar risks of access loss as the analogue versions they replaced - but through the mechanisms of software, hardware and organisational change. The first two of these mechanisms are straightforward. Software change relates to how data is encoded - for instance later versions of Microsoft Word often cannot access documents written with earlier versions [2]. Likewise hardware formats obsolesce; even popular technologies such as the floppy disk reach a point where accessing data on these formats becomes increasingly difficult [3]. The third mechanism is however more abstract as it relates to societal structures, and ironically is often generated as a by-product of attempts to escape the first two risks. In our efforts to rid ourselves of hardware and software change these risks are often delegated to specialised external parties. Common use cases are those of conveying information to a future self, e.g. calendars, diaries, tasks, etc. These applications, categorised as Personal Information Management (PIM) [4, p. -
Patterns in Ontology Engineering: Classification of Ontology Patterns
PATTERNS IN ONTOLOGY ENGINEERING: CLASSIFICATION OF ONTOLOGY PATTERNS Eva Blomqvist School of Engineering, Jonk¨ oping¨ University P.O. Box 1026, SE-551 11 Jonk¨ oping,¨ Sweden [email protected] Kurt Sandkuhl School of Engineering, Jonk¨ oping¨ University P.O. Box 1026, SE-551 11 Jonk¨ oping,¨ Sweden [email protected] Keywords: Ontology Engineering, Ontology Patterns, Pattern Classification. Abstract: In Software Engineering, patterns are an accepted way to facilitate and support reuse. This paper focuses on patterns in the field of Ontology Engineering and proposes a classification scheme for ontology patterns. The scheme divides ontology patterns into five levels: Application Patterns, Architecture Patterns, Design Patterns, Semantic Patterns, and Syntactic Patterns. Semantic and Syntactic Patterns are quite well-researched but the higher levels of pattern abstraction are so far almost unexplored. To illustrate the possibilities of patterns on these levels some examples are discussed, together with ideas of future work. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 ONTOLOGY PATTERNS TODAY Recent developments in the area of Ontology En- Ontology is a popular term today, used in many ar- gineering involve semi-automatic ontology construc- eas and defined in many different ways.
