Augmenting Input Method Language Model with user Location Type Information
نویسنده
چکیده
Geo-tags from micro-blog posts have been shown to be useful in many data mining applications. This work seeks to find out if the location type derived from these geo-tags can benefit input methods, which attempts to predict the next word a user will input during typing. If a correlation between different location types and a change in word distribution can be found, the location type information can be used to make the input method more accurate. This work queried micro-blog posts from Twitter API and location type of these posts from Google Place API, forming a dataset of around 500k samples. A statistical study on the word distribution found weak support for the assumption. An LSTM based prediction experiment found a 2% edge in the accuracy from language models leveraging location type information when compared to a baseline without that information.

متن کاملGeo-location for voice search language modeling
We investigate the benefit of augmenting with geo-location information the language model used in speech recognition for voice-search. We observe reductions in perplexity of up to 15% relative on test sets obtained from both typed query data, as well as transcribed voice search data; on a subset of the test data consisting of “local” queries — search results displaying a restaurant, some addres...

The rapid growth of mobile phone technology and its combination with various technologies like GPS has added location context to social networks and has led to the formation of location-based social networks. In social networking sites, recommender systems are used to recommend points of interest (POIs) to users. Traditional recommender systems, such as film and book recommendations, have a lon...

User location service for context-aware applications in wireless network is of great academia and industry interest, many research efforts were spent on obtaining location information within wireless network. This paper presents a different approach of determining location information. The location information is obtained over an ad-hoc wireless network, using IEEE 802.11 protocol. A triangulat...

Traditional search engines rely on keyword-based matching, recovering the documents which present some occurrences of the input keywords, but ignore at all the data meaning of the retrieved documents. Thus, long lists of pages links are returned but actually only a handful of pages contain reference to relevant web resources and meet the needs of users. The exigency of major awareness in the in...
