The demo shows the evolution from the PW to the PSW in a discovery scenario set in a winery, where bottles are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and a customer can discover them using her smartphone. The final goal is to prove benefits of PSW over basic PW, including: rich semantic-based object annotation; dynamic annotations exploiting on-board sensors; enhanced discovery and ranking of nearby objects through semantic matchmaking; availability of interactions even without working Internet infrastructure, by means of point-to-point data exchanges.","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122448135","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 notwithstanding, there is still a long way to go to put the power of data in the hands of citizens. This article suggests that transparency in the context of open government can be increased through web maps featuring: i) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) which support app and data usage tracking; and (ii) 'transparency badges' which inform the users about the presence/absence of extra, useful contextual information. Eight examples of web maps are introduced as proof of concept for the idea. Designing and implementing these web maps has reminded of the need of interactive guidelines to help non-experts select vocabularies, and datasets to link to. The ideas presented are relevant to making existing open data more user friendly (and ultimately more usable).","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128246493","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}

The features considered in the models basically include detection of o ensive language through NLP techniques and vocabularies, social network structural measures and, if available, user context information.

However, only a small fraction of articles are considered to be of good quality. The large majority of articles are incomplete and have other quality issues. A strong quality indicator is the presence of external references from third-party sources (e.g. news sources) as suggested by the verifiability principle in Wikipedia. Even for the existing references in Wikipedia there is an inherent lag in terms of the publication time of cited resources and the time they are cited in Wikipedia articles. We propose a near real-time suggestion of news references for Wikipedia from a daily news stream. We model daily news into specific events, spanning from a day up to year. Thus, we construct an event-chain from which we determine when the information in an event has converged and consequentially based on a learning-to-rank approach suggest the most authoritative and complete news article to Wikipedia articles involved in a specific event. We evaluate our news suggestion approach on a set of 41 events extracted from Wikipedia currents event portal, and on new corpus consisting of daily news between the period of 2016-2017 with more than 14 million news articles. We are able to suggest news articles to Wikipedia pages with an overall accuracy of MAP=0.77 and with a minimal lag w.r.t the publication time of the news article.","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123643881","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}

These systems rely on incremental learning that continuously update models as new observations arrive and they should be able to adapt to drifts in real-time. User preferences evolve over time and tracking their evolution is not an easy task. In addition to the low number of observations available per user, the preferences change at different moments and in different ways for each individual. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on local models to address this problem. Local models are known for their ability to capture diverse preferences among user subsets. Our approach automatically detects the drift of preferences that leads a user to adopt a behavior closer to the users of another subset, and adjusts the models accordingly. Our experiments on real world datasets show promising results and prove the effectiveness of using local models to adapt to changes in user preferences.","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121405273","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}

Artist labels are less subjective and less noisy, while certain artists may relate more strongly to certain genres. At the same time, at prediction time, it is not guaranteed that artist labels are available for a given audio segment. Therefore, in this work, we propose to apply the transfer learning framework, learning artist-related information which will be used at inference time for genre classification. We consider different types of artist-related information, expressed through artist group factors, which will allow for more efficient learning and stronger robustness to potential label noise. Furthermore, we investigate how to achieve the highest validation accuracy on the given FMA dataset, by experimenting with various kinds of transfer methods, including single-task transfer, multi-task transfer and finally multi-task learning.","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116367313","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}

In the context of knowledge graphs such models often serve as additional evidence supporting various tasks related to the knowledge base population: e.g., information extraction or link prediction to expand the original dataset. However, the embedding models themselves are often not used directly alongside structured data: they merely serve as additional evidence for structured knowledge extraction. In the metaphactory knowledge graph management platform, we use federated hybrid SPARQL queries for combining explicit information stated in the graph, implicit information from the associated embedding models, and information extracted using vector embeddings in a transparent way for the end user. In this paper we show how we integrated RDF data with vector space models to construct an augmented knowledge graph to be used in customer applications.","PeriodicalId":235572,"journal":{"name":"Companion Proceedings of the The Web Conference 2018","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124143807","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}
