This paper proposes the use of supplemental context to counteract the limitations imposed by the sparsity and the informality of microtext on the performance of word sense disambiguation (WSD). WSD relies on the senses of words around an ambiguous word to disambiguate it. Because microtext is sparse and informal, it lacks exploitable context. This creates a major challenge for using this kind of data and consequently to the analyses of studies that rely on microtext sources. This paper proposes, demonstrates, and describes some of the challenges in selecting and utilizing supplemental context. We present studies using twitter data. We validate our studies with around 10,000 tweets using a gold standard proxy we call the blue standard. The method relies on the notion of one sense per collocation, and we implement it by identifying collocated word sequences that are strongly indicative of the target word's sense.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124252592","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}

We propose a genetic algorithm to guide sampling based on evaluating the fitness of each individual of the population through the k-means clustering algorithm. Although we want a partition with the lowest SSE, our algorithm tries to find the sample with the highest SSE. After finding a good sample the remaining points of the entire data set are clustered using the nearest centroid and, after that, the SSE of the final solution is calculated. Our proposal is applied on a set of public domain data sets and the results are compared against two other methods: the k-means running in a uniform random sample of the data set, and the k-means in the complete data set. The results showed that our algorithm has a good trade off between quality and computational cost, especially for large data sets and higher number of clusters.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121968547","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 representative approach of pivot methods is the phrase pivot translation which is based on common pivot phrases to produce connections between source-pivot and pivot-target phrase tables. Nevertheless, this approach produces insufficient connections behind the phrase tables because pivot phrases still contain the same meaning even when they are not matched to each other. In this work, we propose applying semantic similarity between pivot phrases to phrase pivot translation. In order to extract similar pivot phrases, we used string similarity measures for phrase similarity, and WordNet and Word2Vec were used for word similarity. The experiments show that using semantic similarity is able to extract more informative phrases, which can support for phrase pivot translation.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117128744","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, it results most of the time in a huge set of patterns (rules), so their exploitation is not easy and often requires expert analysis. In this paper we describe a new pattern \"set of contrasting rules\" which, contrary to most state-of-the-art patterns, has the characteristic of being made up of a set of rules. It has also the advantage of not only identifying a reduced set of rules, but also structuring it into sets. One main originality of this pattern is that it allows to automatically identify trigger factors: factors that can bring some event state changes. In this work we show that the proposed pattern methodologically belongs to the supervised descriptive rules induction paradigm. We also show through the experiments on a real dataset of census data that \"set of contrasting rules\" can be considered as a way to filter the huge amount of association rules and can be used to identify trigger factors.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128155503","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}

We show how it is possible to improve the methods based on structural decomposition by offering to enhance the search for a new solution which is a critical step for counting, particularly for such methods. Moreover, if the resources in time or in space are insufficient, we show that our approach is still able to provide a lower bound of the result.

The process of transcription consists of indicating where each note from the original music sheet needs to be played in the guitar, i.e. which string and fret of the guitar that needs to be played to produce a particular note. However, considering that each note can be played in different positions of the guitar fretboard, this is not a straightforward process, and can be classified as a combinatorial optimization problem. For this reason, we have employed a comparative study of different algorithms: A-star, genetic algorithms (GA), genetic algorithms based on subpopulations (GA-SP), ant colony optimization (ACO) and differential evolution (DE). It was also included heuristics based on local search 2-opt and 3-opt in the approaches GA, GA-SP and DE. The experimental results with a dataset of 87 musics indicated that the approaches ACO, GA-SP with 2-opt and GA with 2-opt reached the best performance. Also, the results obtained with each approach were statistically compared using ANOVA test with post hoc Tukey.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123357898","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 try to explore this inhomogeneity of visual orientation based on Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image recognition. We validate that visual orientation inhomogeneity CNNs can achieve comparable performance with higher computational efficiency on various datasets. We can also get the conclusion that, compared with the cardinal information, oblique information is indeed less useful in natural color image recognition. Through the exploration of the proposed model on image recognition, we gain more understanding of the inhomogeneity of visual orientation. It also illuminates a wide range of opportunities for integrating the inhomogeneity of visual orientation with other computational models.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126056158","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 particular, consumers will connect via communication networks and exchange data messages or share information. Utilization of information will allow consumers to manage their electricity consumption in a more efficient and economical way. However, connectivity and information exchange come at a cost of reduced privacy. In particular, third parties connected to the power grid are able to monitor the consumption signals and make inferences about the consumers' behavior. In this a paper, an intelligent methodology for enhancing privacy in smart power systems in smart cities is presented. The methodology fuses the demand patterns of several consumers, which are connected to the power grid, and provides a new consumption pattern. The new pattern, which hides individual consumer characteristics, is obtained as the solution to an optimization problem whose solution is computed by particle swarm optimization. Testing of the methodology is performed on a set of real consumption patterns, while benchmarked against genetic algorithm. Results exhibit the efficiency of the proposed intelligent methodology, and its superiority over the benchmarked algorithm.","PeriodicalId":245697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 28th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121831520","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}
