On Constructing Shallow Taxonomies from Social Annotations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tagging in social media system has demonstrated to be a convenient way for users to annotate objects of interest.One reason behind its success obviously because tags can be chosen by users arbitrarily without any topic and specificity constraints. Although tags are free-from keywords, there are some evidences 1 suggesting that, for a particular object type, users tend to use “similar” tag sets. In addition, such tags are in different levels of specificity. This might suggest that there are some hierarchical concepts behind users’ tagging processes. In this paper, we outline a problem in extracting hierarchical concepts from social annotation data and propose a possible solution – a probabilistic generative model that describes tagging processes.

Taxonomies of networks from community structure.
The study of networks has become a substantial interdisciplinary endeavor that encompasses myriad disciplines in the natural, social, and information sciences. Here we introduce a framework for constructing taxonomies of networks based on their structural similarities. These networks can arise from any of numerous sources: They can be empirical or synthetic, they can arise from multiple realiza...
متن کاملConcept Lattice Representations of Annotated Taxonomies
We show how the concept of an annotated ordered set can be used to model large taxonomically structured ontologies such as the Gene Ontology. By constructing a formal context consistent with a given annotated ordered set, their concept lattice representations are derived. We develop the fundamental mathematical relations present in this formulation, in particular deriving a conceptual pre-order...
متن کاملIntegrating Structured Metadata with Relational Affinity Propagation
Structured and semi-structured data describing entities, taxonomies and ontologies appears in many domains. There is a huge interest in integrating structured information from multiple sources; however integrating structured data to infer complex common structures is a difficult task because the integration must aggregate similar structures while avoiding structural inconsistencies that may app...
متن کاملEstablishing Relationships between Emotion Taxonomies Using the Vector Space Model
Due to different aspects that emotion-oriented research looks to capture, the emotion taxonomy used often differs among research efforts. Therefore, it is hard to coordinate the research efforts using different emotion taxonomies. On the other hand, due to the multiplicity of “emotion”, emotion annotations more naturally fit the paradigm of multi-label classification since one instance (such as...
متن کاملCrowdsourced Semantic Matching of Multi-Label Annotations
Most multi-label domains lack an authoritative taxonomy. Therefore, different taxonomies are commonly used in the same domain, which results in complications. Although this situation occurs frequently, there has been little study of it using a principled statistical approach. Given that (1) different taxonomies used in the same domain are generally founded on the same latent semantic space, whe...
