Video Webcast: Look at Automated Categorization Research

Video Webcast: Enhancing Text Representation Through Knowledge-Based Feature Generation

Here's one for the techies and IR geeks out there. A recent (June 15, 2006) presentation sponsored by Microsoft Research from Evgeniy Gabrilovich, Ph.D. student, Computer Science Department, Technion Israel Institute of Technology. The presentation runs 78 minutes and PPT slides are available.

From the Description:

We propose to enrich document representation through automatic use of vast repositories of human knowledge. To this end, we use knowledge concepts derived from the Open Directory Project and Wikipedia, the largest Web directory and encyclopedia, respectively. In the preprocessing phase, a feature generator analyzes the input documents and maps them onto relevant concepts. The latter give rise to a set of generated features that augment the standard bag of words. Feature generation is accomplished through contextual analysis of document text, thus implicitly performing word sense disambiguation. Coupled with the ability to generalize from words to concepts, this approach addresses the two main problems of natural language processing synonymy and polysemy. Categorizing documents with the aid of knowledge-based features leverages information that cannot be deduced from the training documents alone. Empirical results confirm that this knowledge-intensive representation brings text categorization to a qualitatively new level of performance across a diverse collection of datasets. We also propose a new, knowledge-based approach for computing the degree of semantic relatedness of texts.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
