A Machine Learning Framework for Combined Information Extraction and Integration∗

چکیده
There are various kinds of objects embedded in static Web pages and online Web databases. Extracting and integrating these objects from the Web is of great significance for Web data management. The existing Web information extraction (IE) techniques cannot provide satisfactory solution to the Web object extraction task since objects of the same type are distributed in diverse Web sources, whose structures are highly heterogenous. The classic information extraction (IE) methods, which are designed for processing plain text documents, also fail to meet our requirements. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called Object-Level Information Extraction (OLIE) to extract Web objects. This approach extends a classic IE algorithm, Conditional Random Fields (CRF), by adding Web-specific information. It is essentially a combination of Web IE and classic IE. Specifically, visual information on the Web pages is used to select appropriate atomic elements for extraction and also to distinguish attributes, and structured information from external Web databases is applied to assist the extraction process. The experimental results show OLIE can significantly improve the Web object extraction accuracy.

Evaluating machine learning methods and satellite images to estimate combined climatic indices
The reflections recorded on satellite images have been affected by various environmental factors. In these images, some of these factors are combined with other environmental factors that cannot be distinguished. Therefore, it seems wise to model these environmental phenomena in the form of hybrid indicators. In this regard, satellite imagery and machine learning methods can play a unique role ...

Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...
