In this day and age, people not only deal with data but deal with vast amounts of data which needs to be sorted and made sense of. A subset of these people are intelligence analysts who sort through an enormous amount of data that need to be organized to uncover plots and subplots. We are proposing a tool called BABES (Brushing+Linking, Attributes, and Blobs Extension to Storyboard) that will e...

We address the task of entity linking to multiple knowledge bases (KB). In particular, we investigate the use of over one thousand domain-specific KBs derived from Wikia.com collections in conjunction with the Wikipedia collection as a background-knowledge repository. Our system employs a two-step approach: for each document, a supervised model with a large set of features detects whether there...

This paper describes the CMCRC systems entered in the TAC 2010 entity linking challenge. The best performing system we describe implements the document-level entity linking system from Cucerzan (2007), with several additions that exploit global information. Our implementation of Cucerzan’s method achieved a score of 74.9% in development experiments. Additional global information improves perfor...

This paper proposes an Entity Linking system that applies a topic modeling ranking. We apply a novel approach in order to provide new relevant elements to the model. These elements are keyphrases related to the queries and gathered from a huge Wikipedia-based knowledge resource.

Nowadays, web users are facing a novel and dynamically changing environment, which promotes collaboration in content creation. In the web era, people usually neglected the quality of content, and had minimum authority on reporting good or bad content, whereas, in Web 2.0, content is becoming a priority and people become more critical when they assess its quality. In the former case, each web si...

Landauer’s principle is applied to information in the universe. Once stars began forming there was a constant information energy density as the increasing proportion of matter at high stellar temperatures exactly compensated for the expanding universe. The information equation of state was close to the dark energy value, w = -1, for a wide range of redshifts, 10> z >0.8, over one half of cosmic...

A conditional key is a key constraint that is valid in only a part of the data. In this paper, we show how such keys can be mined automatically on large knowledge bases (KBs). For this, we combine techniques from key mining with techniques from rule mining. We show that our method can scale to KBs of millions of facts. We also show that the conditional keys we mine can improve the quality of en...

The author describes how using Microsoft Access to perform record linkage may be a viable alternative to specially designed record linkage software for certain applications. Access was pursued since it is fairly easy to use, flexible, interactive, and reasonably fast when performing simple queries. The major drawbacks and minor difficulties will also be discussed. Examples will be drawn from a ...
