Semi-Supervised Learning Of Geographical Gazetteer From The Internet
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an approach to the acquisition of geographical gazetteers. Instead of creating these resources manually, we propose to extract gazetteers from the World Wide Web, using Data Mining techniques. The bootstrapping approach, investigated in our study, allows us to create new gazetteers using only a small seed dataset (1260 words). In addition to gazetteers, the system produces classifiers. They can be used online to determine a class (CITY, ISLAND, RIVER, MOUNTAIN, REGION, COUNTRY) of any geographical name. Our classifiers perform with the average accuracy of 86.5%.

متن کاملSemi-Supervised Learning Based Prediction of Musculoskeletal Disorder Risk
This study explores a semi-supervised classification approach using random forest as a base classifier to classify the low-back disorders (LBDs) risk associated with the industrial jobs. Semi-supervised classification approach uses unlabeled data together with the small number of labelled data to create a better classifier. The results obtained by the proposed approach are compared with those o...
متن کاملComposite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
متن کاملFine-Grained Geographical Relation Extraction from Wikipedia
In this paper, we present work on enhancing the basic data resource of a context-aware system. First, we introduce a supervised approach to extracting geographical relations on a fine-grained level. Second, we present a novel way of using Wikipedia as a corpus based on self-annotation. A self-annotation is an automatically created high-quality annotation that can be used for training and evalua...
متن کاملAn Extended Semi-Supervised Regression Approach with Co-Training and Geographical Weighted Regression: A Case Study of Housing Prices in Beijing
This paper proposes an extended semi-supervised regression approach to enhance the prediction accuracy of housing prices within the geographical information science field. The method, referred to as co-training geographical weighted regression (COGWR), aims to fully utilize the positive aspects of both the geographical weighted regression (GWR) method and the semi-supervised learning paradigm. ...
