Traditionally, the research impact or importance of academic journals has been evaluated using citation relations, such as the impact factor and the citation half-life. However, these citation-based methods require long periods to evaluate research impact and therefore are not suitable for evaluating the current impact of research papers at conferences. To solve this problem, we are studying the automatic evaluation of research impact using Twitter. Researchers participating in academic conferences often post their opinions or comments on Twitter. Here, research papers (presentations) that have many comments are considered to be outstanding and to have strong impact during the conference. In this paper, we propose a method for automatically aligning tweets with research papers. The procedure consists of the following three steps: (1) detecting valuable tweets, (2) aligning each valuable tweet with a research paper, and (3) calculating the research impact of each research paper by the number of aligned tweets. We conducted some experiments to confirm the effectiveness of our method. From the results, we obtained an MRR score of 0.223, which outperformed a baseline method.","PeriodicalId":239815,"journal":{"name":"2015 26th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125899121","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 notion of LPnF table is a variant of the Longest Previous Factor (LPF) table and is an essential element for the design of efficient algorithms on strings. The LPnF table is related to Ziv-Lempel factorization which is used for text compression. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for computing the LPnF table of a string from its Suffix Automaton. The algorithm runs in linear time on a fixed size alphabet and applications of this algorithm are for text compression.","PeriodicalId":239815,"journal":{"name":"2015 26th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA)","volume":"332 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122746746","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}

VG has several unique characteristics compared to those of traditional power plants, including significant fixed capital costs but near-zero variable production costs. Large penetrations of VG tend to influence the prices and schedules of energy markets. Specifically, increasing levels of VG tend to reduce market prices, increase price volatility, and reduce the cleared energy levels of existing generating plants. This paper describes some important features of an agent-based system to simulate energy markets. Special attention is devoted to a case study aiming at analysing the behaviour of the system in situations with increasing levels of wind generation, notably comparing market schedules and prices in situations with either low or high levels of wind generation.","PeriodicalId":239815,"journal":{"name":"2015 26th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122086289","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 this paper, we explore an alternative, and more efficient way to diversify the result list based on query expansion. To that end, we used a knowledge base pseudo-relevance feedback algorithm. We compared our algorithm to IA-Select, a state-of-the-art diversification method, using its intent-aware version of the NDCG (Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain) metric. The results indicate that our approach can guarantee a similar extent of diversification as IA-Select. In addition, we showed that the supported query language of the underlying search engines plays an important role in the query expansion based on diversification. Therefore, query expansion may be an alternative when result diversification is not feasible, for example in federated search systems where latency and the quantity of handled search results are critical issues.","PeriodicalId":239815,"journal":{"name":"2015 26th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115923755","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}
