Image Information Mining System Evaluation Using Information-Theoretic Measures
During the last decade, the exponential increase of multimedia and remote sensing image archives, the fast expansion of the world wide web, and the high diversity of users have yielded concepts and systems for successful content-based image retrieval and image information mining. Image data information systems require both database and visual capabilities, but there is a gap between these syste...
متن کاملAn information theoretic approach for using word cluster information in natural language call routing
In this paper, an information theoretic approach for using word clusters in natural language call routing (NLCR) is proposed. This approach utilizes an automatic word class clustering algorithm to generate word classes from the word based training corpus. In our approach, the information gain (IG) based term selection is used to combine both word term and word class information in NLCR. A joint...
متن کاملUnsupervised Model Adaptation using Information-Theoretic Criterion
In this paper we propose a novel general framework for unsupervised model adaptation. Our method is based on entropy which has been used previously as a regularizer in semi-supervised learning. This technique includes another term which measures the stability of posteriors w.r.t model parameters, in addition to conditional entropy. The idea is to use parameters which result in both low conditio...
متن کاملInformation density converges in dialogue: Towards an information-theoretic model.
The principle of entropy rate constancy (ERC) states that language users distribute information such that words tend to be equally predictable given previous contexts. We examine the applicability of this principle to spoken dialogue, as previous findings primarily rest on written text. The study takes into account the joint-activity nature of dialogue and the topic shift mechanisms that are di...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Model of Customer Information Quality
The definition of measures of Information Quality (IQ) is an important part of Information Systems research and practice. A model is presented for organisational processes that classify a large number of customers into a relatively small number of partitions (or segments) using attributes in a database. The model is built upon concepts from the IQ literature, but uses Information Theory to defi...
