To explore the visual distinguishability and topic autocorrelation of murals unearthed in China from the spatial perspective, multiple classification models are employed to classify murals unearthed in China through visual features. Then, the k-means is employed to mine topics, and they are analysed through topic intensities (TIs), Moran’s Index (MI) and spatial topic concentration degrees (STCDs). In addition, the characteristics of topic distribution and evolution are summarised and revealed in the spatial dimension. From a spatial perspective, it verifies the distinguishability of visual features of murals through ViT_BOW_GNB, and the precision of this model is 98.17%. Thirteen topics are clustered through k-means, and the distribution of mural topics is spatial autocorrelation according to MI. Besides, the topic evolves from the political centre to the surrounding area, and the topics with high intensities are highly concentrated in spatial. This study reveals the spatial characteristics of the mural at the level of visual features and semantics, which facilitates the digital management, conservation and knowledge discovery of cultural heritage resources.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"31 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135267897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, differentiation was based more on characteristics intrinsic to the music, but prominent extrinsic characteristic types included culture and period. Also prominent was the identification of characteristics associated with other subgenres and genres, representing hybridisation. The resulting codebook of characteristics only partly overlaps with the major facets of music identified in the knowledge organisation literature. Our research conceptualises the musical subgenre, suggesting that music subgenres are differentiated from and connected to other subgenres, and to higher-level genres, in complex, familial ways – horizontally, vertically and obliquely.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"399 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135273574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we construct an environment for social knowledge sharing and expert referring. Analysing queries from online public health databases and the factors of health similarity, social reliability and social intimacy, we extract health knowledge to recommend relevant social knowledge (also called threads) and helpful experts providing consulting. Specifically, the proposed social diagnosis mechanism helps the health seeker to identify relevant threads and recommends enthusiastic experts for healthcare support.

A manual forms a ‘working space’ that is sometimes adopted as such by following the detailed advice given in some of the texts but likely more often used as a more general point of reference.

However, the relationship between terms has yet to be mapped. This study aims to describe a CHV model for the Brazilian Portuguese language that is supported by a complex network. The method was split up into three distinct stages: (1) collect and automatically extract terms from structured data sources on the web, such as Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) vocabularies and DBpedia; (2) construct a complex network; and (3) select the terms supported by clustering techniques. A model called CHV.br was developed and supported by a complex network structure which makes connections between the controlled vocabulary and consumer vocabulary and maps semantic relationships as categories, synonyms and related terms. CHV.br contains 146,956 terms, of which 31,439 are UMLS preferred terms and 83,279 are synonyms. The CHV.br is available and powered by Simple Knowledge Organization System and Resource Description Framework standards. The method used in this study showed to be valid for the selection of the candidate terms by connecting the terms from different reliable resources, in addition to expanding the number of terms and their semantic relationships. The content and structure of CHV.br could play a vital role in enhancing the development of consumer-oriented health applications.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136336485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The working method was that, reviewing the literature and previous information behaviour models, such as Wilson, Ellis, Kuhlthau, and Dervin models, this article proposes a novel model of information-seeking behaviour for library users. Our model of information-seeking behaviour was developed by combining the existing models of planned information-seeking behaviour with the focus on the factors affecting unplanned rather than planned behaviour of users in accessing resources or services. Our proposed model for information-seeking behaviour of clients has two main parts. The first part planned behaviour resulting from a problem or a certain information need according to which the user seeks to find information in a planned manner. The second part deals with unplanned behaviour shaped by a hidden or uncertain information need. Finally, both types of behaviour can result in the discovery, extraction, collection and use of information.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135981108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aspect term extraction (ATE) has been found to play a critical role among several scenarios, such as service quality improvement and recommendation systems. While deep learning-based methods have achieved great progress in ATE, they mainly consider sequential semantic information and generally ignore the utilisation of syntactic relations of the whole sentence on overall meanings. Furthermore, performances of these methods may also be diminished by poor handling of relation and text noises. To address these issues, we propose a fused sequential and hierarchical representation (FSHR) model, wherein both sequential and hierarchical representations are generated, which facilitates not only the capture of linear semantic information for predicting meaning-related aspect terms but also the utilisation of syntactic relations over the entire sentence to better identify structure-related aspect terms. Moreover, to refine the aspect representation, we incorporate relation-gate mechanism which selectively activates meaningful syntactic dependency paths and design the multi-way aspect attention which prompts the model to focus on relevant text segments about particular aspects. Eventually, sequential and hierarchical representations are adaptively fused for aspect prediction. Experiment results on four datasets demonstrate that FSHR outperforms competitive baselines, and further extensive analyses reveal the effectiveness of our model.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47860769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 37 young people participated through purposive sampling. The study illustrates participants’ complex information pathways through which they consult multiple sources to reach the most trusted information source. The content analysis of the data showed that ascribed cognitive authority and affective factors such as confidentiality, privacy and empathy strongly determine the selection of an information source. The study observes the young participants’ dependency on networked and human sources for ease of access and reluctance to rely on mainstream media and textual information. The study has strong practical implications for designing information services and developing communication materials targeted at young people.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49239381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims at elevating the accuracy of the empirical validation of the CI construct suggested and confirmed by Madureira, Popovic and Castelli to serve as the scientific foundation for CI praxis. This construct is selected due to its unmatched recency, thoroughness, universality identified limitations of its empirical validation. We relied on a multistrand design of fully sequential with equivalent status qualitative and quantitative mix-methods followed by the triangulation of the findings and the development of the meta-inferences. Validity, reliability and applicability were tested using computer-aided text analysis and artificial intelligence methods based on 61 in-depth interviews with CI subject matter experts. Contributions to knowledge advancement and relevance to practice derive from the scientific-grade empirical construct validation, providing undisputed levels of accuracy, consistency, applicability, and triangulation of results. This study highlights three critical implications. First, the delimitation of the body of knowledge and recognition of the CI domain serve as the baseline for theory development. Second, the validated construct guarantees reproducibility, replicability and generalisability, laying the foundations for establishing CI science, practice and education. Third, creating a common language and shared understanding will drive the much-claimed definitional consensus. This study thus stands as a foundational pillar in supporting CI praxis in improving decision-making quality and the performance of organisations.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43429490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we propose the institution Q model (IQ) and its two variants (IQ-2 and IQ-3), which aim to evaluate the individual-level research ability to publish high-quality scientific papers. Specifically, our models integrate scientists’ institutions, countries and collaborators as valuable prior information and jointly evaluate the research ability of scientists from different institutions. To estimate model parameters and hidden variables defined in our models, we propose a generic BBVI-EM algorithm. To test the effectiveness of our models, we examine their performance on the synthetic data and the empirical data (17,750/26,992 scientists in the computer science/physics field). We find that our models can more accurately quantify the research ability of scientists and institutions and more effectively predict scientists’ scientific impact (the h-index and total citations) than the Q model and common machine learning models. In conclusion, our models are effective evaluation and prediction tools for quantifying research ability and predicting the scientific impact, and the BBVI-EM algorithm is an effective variational inference algorithm. This study makes a theoretical contribution to broaden the idea of incorporating the academic environment into scientific evaluation.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"61 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41312015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
