Contextualized Search by Nearness
نویسنده
چکیده
The spatial expression “near” describes proximity and is frequently used for web search such as “gas stations near the old market”. What is “near” depends on the context and I investigate how a context dependent model for “near” can be formulated. For doing so, I investigate the following questions: (i) what is the relevant contextual information for “near”? (ii) how does the identified information influence the interpretation of near? To answer these questions, my research consists of identifying the context factors and then learn from data how these context factors have an effect on a qualitative or quantitative distance measure of “near”, which enables me to formulate a contextualized model for “near”

Nearest Neighbor Search in the Metric Space of a Complex Network for Community Detection
The objective of this article is to bridge the gap between two important research directions: (1) nearest neighbor search, which is a fundamental computational tool for large data analysis; and (2) complex network analysis, which deals with large real graphs but is generally studied via graph theoretic analysis or spectral analysis. In this article, we have studied the nearest neighbor search p...
متن کاملNearest Neighbor search in Complex Network for Community Detection
Nearest neighbor search is a basic computational tool used extensively in almost research domains of computer science specially when dealing with large amount of data. However, the use of nearest neighbor search is restricted for the purpose of algorithmic development by the existence of the notion of nearness among the data points. The recent trend of research is on large, complex networks and...
متن کاملNearness of Objects. Approximation Space Model Revisited
This paper is devoted to a nearness relation in an Efremovic̆proximity space. The basic approach is to consider the nearness of the upper and lower approximation of a set introduced by Z. Pawlak during the early 1980s as a foundation for rough sets. Two forms of nearness relations are considered, namely, a spatial EFand a descriptive EFrelation. This leads to a study of the nearness of objects e...
متن کاملContextualizing Grammar Instruction through Meaning-Centered Planned Pre-emptive Treatment and Enhanced Input in an EFL Context
This study has aimed to compare the effects of two types of form-focused instruction, i.e. de-contextualized focus-on-forms instruction versus meaning-centered contextualized focus-on-form instruction, on the development of grammatical knowledge of Iranian high-school students. Two groups of male high-school first graders participated in this study. One group was taught through de-contextualiz...
متن کاملNearness of Visual Objects. Application of Rough Sets in Proximity Spaces
The problem considered in this paper is how to describe and compare visual objects. The solution to this problem stems from a consideration of nearness relations in two different forms of Efremovic̆ proximity spaces. In this paper, the visual objects are picture elements in digital images. In particular, this problem is solved in terms of the application of rough sets in proximity spaces. The ba...
