Summary: Abstracts in biomedical articles can provide a quick overview of the articles but detailed information cannot be obtained without reading full-text contents. Full-text articles certainly generate more information and contents; however, accessing full-text documents is usually time consuming. Condensedly is a web-based application, which provides readers an easy and efficient way to acc...

Suppose you were given a stack of documents, such as all of the articles published in a particular newspaper, and your goal was to make sense of this data, to determine topics that this data may be made up from. To frame this as an unsupervised learning problem, suppose the documents were written in a foreign language and came from a foreign planet. By understanding topics that these documents ...

background: initiating a national poisoning information centre (pic) in estonia took about 12 years of challenging work on research, training and attracting governmental support and funding. in this study we described the establishment process and the profile of phone calls in the first year which the pic started to be available full time (24h/day 7days/week).  methods: this was a descriptive r...

This paper considers the issue of document type diversity in the Comparative Manifestos Project (CMP). For many years the CMP has been collecting and coding a variety of documents, such as speeches, pamphlets, newspaper articles and leaflets, as manifesto proxies. By using previously unexplored archival material to perform controlled comparisons between different types of documents, this paper ...

In this paper, we propose a document re-ranking approach based on the Wikipedia articles related to the specific questions to re-order the initial retrieved documents to improve the precision of top retrieved documents in Chinese information retrieval for question answering (IR4QA) system where the questions are definition or biography type. On one hand, we compute the similarity between each d...

We are creating a document conversion system based on modelling the logical structures of two broad categories of document types: human-oriented and machine-oriented. Each human-oriented, or user, type is a genre of documents that is well defined and well known to human authors and readers; for example, “scientific articles”, “mathematical formulae” (e.g., x 3+x2−1 x2+1 ), or “limericks”. Each ...

The collection of abstracts of WSOM'97 articles was organized using a simpliied form of the WEBSOM method. The result ooers an approximate visual index to the workshop. The resulting map shows no clear general organizing criterion; instead the grounds for clustering certain documents seem to vary accross areas, sometimes even within a single node across pairs of articles. It is suggested that t...

Information retrieval is the process of evaluating a user's query, or information need, against a set of documents (books, journal articles, web pages, etc.) to determine which of the documents satisses the query. With the advent of the World Wide Web, there is suddenly a need to query enormous sets of documents both eeciently and accurately. In the vector space model of information retrieval, ...
