It is challenging at the same time because of the diversity of the characteristics of bloggers, their experiences, and the way moods are expressed. As an attempt to handle the diversity, we combine multiple sources of evidence for a mood type. Support vector machine based mood classifier (SVMMC) is integrated with mood flow analyzer (MFA) that incorporates commonsense knowledge obtained from the general public (i.e. ConceptNet), the affective norms english words (ANEW) list, and mood transitions. In combining the two different approaches, we employ a statistically weighted voting scheme based on the support vector machine (SVM). For evaluation, we have built a mood corpus consisting of manually annotated blogs, which amounts to over 4000 blogs. Our proposed method outperforms SVMMC by 5.68% in precision. The improvement is attributed to the strategy of choosing more trustable classification results in an interleaving fashion between the SVMMC and our MFA.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"26 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123555900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common method for finding experts in an organization is to use social networks - people are not isolated but connected by various kinds of associations. In organizations, people explicitly send email to one another thus social networks are likely to be contained in the patterns of communication. Moreover, in some web pages, the relationship among people is also recorded. In our approach we propose several strategies in discovering the associations among people from emails and web pages. Based on the social networks, we proposed an expertise propagation algorithm: from a ranked list of candidates according to their probability of being expert for a certain topic, we select a small set of the top ones as seed, and then use the social networks among the candidates to discover other potential experts. The experiments on TREC enterprise track show significant performance improvement with the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131335187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an algorithm to extract a concept forest (CF) from a document with the assistance of a natural language ontology, the WordNet lexical database. Using concept forests to represent the semantics of text documents, the semantic similarities of these documents are then measured as the commonalities of their concept forests. Performance studies of text document clustering based on different document similarity measurement methods show that the CF-based similarity measurement is an effective alternative to the existing keywords-based methods. In particular, this CFbased approach has obvious advantages over the existing keywords-based methods, including LSI, in processing short text documents or in P2P or live news environments where it is impractical to collect the entire document corpus for analysis.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132797836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, engineering of these ontologies turns out to be very labor intensive and time consuming. Although some text mining methods have been proposed for automatic or semi-automatic discovery of crisp ontologies, the robustness, accuracy, and computational efficiency of these methods need to be improved to support large scale ontology construction for real-world applications. This paper illustrates a novel fuzzy domain ontology mining algorithm for supporting real-world ontology engineering. In particular, contextual information of the knowledge sources is exploited for the extraction of high quality domain ontologies and the uncertainty embedded in the knowledge sources is modeled based on the notion of fuzzy sets. Empirical studies have confirmed that the proposed method can discover high quality fuzzy domain ontology which leads to significant improvement in information retrieval performance.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134279723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
