We discuss a method for learning a text classifier and query generation for this classifier. The two problems are resolved in a complementary approach using our query generation method and SVM as text classifiers. We use this approach for studying words polysemy. Our method generates queries in order to retrieve documents about a specific sense of the word and in the same time learning the associated text classifier. Our method have good results.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124113195","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}

Collaborative filtering and content-based methods are two most commonly used approaches in most recommender systems. Although each of them has both advantages and disadvantages in providing high quality recommendations, a hybrid recommendation mechanism incorporating components from both of the methods would yield satisfactory results in many situations. Unfortunately, most hybrid approaches have focused on the contents of items but the temporal feature of them, which is the theme of our study here. In particular, we argue, here in the context of movie recommendation, that movie's production year, which reflects the situational environment where the movies were filmed, might affect the values of the movies being recommended, and in turn significantly affect target user's future preferences. We called it the temporal effects of the items on the performance of the recommender systems. We perform some experiments on the famous MovieLens data sets, and significant results were obtained from our experiments. We believe that the temporal features of items can be exploited to not only scale down the huge amount of data set, especially for Web-based recommender system, but also allow us to quickly select high quality candidate sets to make more accurate recommendations.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123838562","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}

To address the extreme dynamism in the large-scale information system, we have proposed the autonomous community information system (ACIS). It is a decentralized bilateral-hierarchy architecture that forms a community of individual end-users (community members) having the same interests and demands in somewhere, at specified time. ACIS allows the community members to mutually cooperate and share information without loading up any single node excessively. We propose an autonomous decentralized community communication technique to assure a flexible, scalable and multilateral communication among the community members. The main ideas behind this communication technique are: content-code communication (community service-based) for flexible information service provision/utilization and multilateral benefits communication for scalable and productive cooperation among members. All members communicate productively for the satisfaction of all the community members. The scalability of the system's response time regardless of the number of the community members has been shown by simulation. Thus, the autonomous decentralized community communication technique reveals significant results of the response time with continuous increasing in the total number of members.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124622658","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}

To achieve this effect the meaning of a message as interpreted by the receiver must align with the meaning intended by the sender. If it does not then we have semantic mismatch or variance, which if severe can result in system failure. A system with little semantic variance is a semantically reliable system. While relevant to all heterogeneous distributed systems, semantic reliability is particularly relevant to those systems that seek to utilise the ideas embodied in the notion of the semantic Web. These systems include: Web services, heterogeneous multiagent systems, and autonomic computing. In such nontrivial systems achieving semantic reliability is a complex and multifacetted challenge. We first consider classic notions of reliability in hardware and software engineering. The problem of meaning exchange is then considered at length from a semiotic standpoint. It is argued that while the use of ontologies certainly effectively mitigates the problem, ontologies alone cannot be the complete solution and human dimensions must also be considered. By drawing on sources from a range of foundation disciplines (reliability theory, semiotics, linguistics, philosophy, logic, and ontology practice), some of the deeper and more intractable semantic issues associated with meaning exchange are exposed and explored. From this base, semantic reliability's relationship with classic reliability theory is considered, and several systems engineering techniques are identified that have potential to significantly improve semantic reliability, and hence overall system reliability.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133012529","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}
