Improving the Exploration of Tag Spaces Using Automated Tag Clustering

چکیده
Due to the increasing popularity of tagging, it is important to overcome challenges resulting from the free nature of tagging, such as the use of synonyms, homonyms, syntactic variations, etc. The Semantic Tag Clustering Search (STCS) framework deals with these challenges by detecting syntactic variations of tags and by clustering semantically related tags. We evaluate our framework using Flickr data from 2009 and compare the STCS framework to two previously introduced tag clustering techniques. We conclude that our framework performs significantly better in terms of cluster precision compared to one method and has a better average precision compared to the other method.

Improving Search and Exploration in Tag Spaces Using Automated Tag Clustering
In recent years we have experienced an increase in the usage of tags to describe resources. However, the free nature of tagging presents some challenges regarding the search and exploration of tag spaces. In order to deal with these challenges we propose the Semantic Tag Clustering Search (STCS) framework. The framework first groups syntactic variations using several measures based on the Leven...
متن کاملAutomated Tag Clustering: Improving search and exploration in the tag space
In this paper we discuss the use of clustering techniques to enhance the user experience and thus the success of collaborative tagging services. We show that clustering techniques can improve the user experience of current tagging services. We first describe current limitations of tagging services, second, we give an overview of existing approaches. We then describe the algorithms we used for t...
متن کاملA Cluster-Based Approach for Search and Exploration of Tag Spaces
Although Semantic Web technology is increasingly becoming more and more important, tagging remains a popular method to describe Web resources. Therefore it is important to address the issues that are found in current tagging search engines, such as Flickr. We find that the free nature of tagging results in many issues for tag search engines, such as synonyms, homonyms, syntactic variations, etc...
متن کاملA semantic-based approach for searching and browsing tag spaces
In this thesis we propose the Semantic Tag Clustering Search framework (STCS). This framework consists of three parts. The first part deals with syntactic variations by clustering tags that are syntactic variations of each other and assigning a label to them. The second part of the framework addresses the problem of recognizing homonyms and identifying semantically related tags. The last, and f...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Hierarchical Clustering Algorithms for Tagging Systems
With the rapid growth of information on the web, the so-called web2.0 services provide users with a simple way of managing a collection of resources. The collaborative nature of social bookmarking systems allows users to annotate their resources easily and explore other people resources in the network. However, data exploration in such large and complex networks is not always easy, due to lack ...
