The idea starts from constructing a book ontology for reasoning book information efficiently. A deep learning method, namely the word2vec model, is then utilized to represent vectors of words occurring on book descriptions. These vectors would help finding most relevant books given a query string. The integration of the word2vec model and the book ontology is able to achieve high performance in searching books. A database of Amazon books is taken into account examining the proposed method, compared with an advanced keyword matching method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can produce more accurate searching results.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"250-253 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124729037","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 are interested in the design of algorithms and techniques for a set expansion tool that expands a set by searching, finding and extracting candidates from the World Wide Web. Existing approaches mostly consider sets of atomic data. We extend this idea to the expansion of sets of t-uples, that is relation instances or tables. We propose an approach for extracting relation instances from the World Wide Web given a handful set of t-uple seeds. For instance, when the user proposes the set of seeds , , the system returns a relation containing currency codes with their corresponding country and capital city. We show how a random walk in a heterogeneous graph of Web pages, wrappers, seeds and candidates is able to rank the candidates according to their relevance to the seeds. We evaluate the performance of the approach and show that it is efficient, effective and practical.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132487139","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}

Even though not all movies are bad, there are negative effects of offensive languages, violence, and sexuality as exhibited in movies. Parents and guidance of children need all the help they can get to promote the healthy use of movies these days. To offer them appropriate movies of interest to their youths, we have developed MovReC, a personalized movie recommender for children, which is designed to provide educational and suitable entertaining opportunities for children. Unlike Amazon and other online movie recommendation systems, such as Common Sense Media, IMDb, and TasteKid, MovReC is unique, since to the best of our knowledge MovReC is the first personalized children movie recommender. Moreover, MovReC determines the appealingness of a movie for a particular user based on its children-appropriate score computed by using the Backpropagation model, pre-defined category using LDA, its predicted rating using Matrix Factorization, and sentiments based on its users' reviews, which along with its like/dislike count and genres, yield the features considered by MovReC. MovReC combines these features by using the CombMNZ model to rank and recommend movies. The performance evaluation of MovReC clearly demonstrates its effectiveness and its recommended movies are highly regarded by its users.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122798442","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 consider a recommender system for Web advertising based on analysis of the user's potential interests. In particular, we focus on a user model with potential interest for a certain website by analyzing browsing history. We introduce a Web advertising recommender system that is based not only based on keyword matching, but also on reported learning results. In addition, we argue the influence of the period for acquisition of the browsing history, which is taken when the users' model is learned.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122816186","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}

Previous information retrieval systems aim to identify documents that are relevant to a given query; however, as information requirements of search system users becomes increasingly diverse and complicated, systems that take such new criteria into account are constantly being introduced. In particular, the focus of our present paper is on readability. Given that the population of non-native English speakers exceeds that of native English speakers, incorporating readability into an information retrieval system is crucial. Therefore, we propose (1) a readability measure that considers document simplicity and document structure as new features for readability and (2) a score fusion method that combines relevance and readability scores. In our experimental results, we found that our proposed readability measure outperformed an existing readability measure. Moreover, we found score fusion methods using a statistical framework called a copula improved overall accuracy as compared to such existing methods as linear combination.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116868790","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 addresses an improvement on Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX), is one of the efficient representations for time series mining. Because SAX represents its symbols by the average (mean) value of a segment with the assumption of Gaussian distribution, it is insufficient to serve the entire deterministic information and causes sometimes incorrect results in time series classification. In this work, SAX representation and distance measure is improved with the addition of another moment of the prior distribution, standard deviation; SAX_SD is proposed. We provide comprehensive analysis for the proposed SAX_SD and confirm both the highest classification accuracy and the highest dimensionality reduction ratio on University of California, Riverside (UCR) datasets in comparison to state of the art methods such as SAX, Extended SAX (ESAX) and SAX Trend Distance (SAX_TD).","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115412245","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 scales typically have 5, 7, or 9 number of rating bars. A controversial issue is: what would be an optimal number of rating bars (5, 7, or 9) for a particular application problem or for all problems? The study reported in this paper addressed this issue. The study particularly restricted to the number of rating bars being 5, 7, and 9 (denoted as S5, S7, S9), as they are commonly used in practice. A cell phone interface design was taken as a test-bed, and twenty participants were involved in the experiment. A new criterion to evaluate a subjective rating scale was developed first and then the experiment was carried out. The study concluded that S7 is the best among the three scales. The contribution of this paper includes: (1) confirming that different numbers of rating bars in a subjective rating scale can have significant effects on the subjective measurement or assessment and (2) providing a new criterion to evaluate a subjective rating scale.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123145485","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 order to improve the quality of these user interfaces, we propose a solution that includes a higher level description of tests and a tool, called Segen, for generating test cases for two very known test automation tools for Web and mobile environments: Selenium and Selendroid. Segen allows to generate test scripts from a single high-level description to executable tests scripts for each environment. On using Segen, testers can focus on the test cases, independently of the environment being used. A proof of concept was used to evaluate Segen: a smart home energy management that has a Web version and a mobile Android version. The evaluation showed that Segen reduces the work of testers and can be used along with other testing libraries. The evaluation also showed that Segen is more useful if test cases are designed before the development. However, it was identified that Segen has similar limitations to those that Selenium and Selendroid have.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126438533","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 study, we make effective use of video images during teaching sessions and create an environment to facilitate student learning. Rather than analyzing teaching videos ex post facto, we analyze video ratings based on student assessments such that they can contribute more effective reviews after completing their coursework. Specifically, in this study, students analyze the time requirements for specific coursework and describe the essential aspects of their coursework to increase their learning efficiency. This metric is utilized in ordinary classes, but it is also available for remote lessons.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129262401","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 order to provide a higher quality service, we investigated users' preferences for answers given in libraries. To understand what users prefer for answers, we defined four \"answer forms\" from the perspectives of the \"amount of information\" and \"whether it includes any explanations of information resources or not.\" Respondents ranked four answers, which were developed from the answer forms in response to reference questions. The purpose was to discover their preferred way to be answered in the reference service. Results indicated that people prefer an answer, which provides multiple information resources and attached explanations of the resources, rather than an answer that only gives information resources without offering explanations. In addition, we found relationships between answer preferences and user attributes, such as age and frequency of library use.","PeriodicalId":247823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications and Services","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130082509","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}
