Semantic Similarity measures between words plays an important role in information retrieval, natural language processing and in various tasks on the web. In this paper, we have proposed a Modified Pattern Extraction Algorithm to compute the supervised semantic similarity measure between the words by combining both page count method and web snippets method. Four association measures are used to ...

Sorting is known to be one of the fundamental computing problems which continue to attract a great deal of research. It is evident that instruction count requirements of the key sorting algorithms are well understood. However, the cost of executing a sorting algorithm is influenced by factors apart from instruction count such as cache miss and page faults as well. There exist studies of sorting...

We propose Focused Page Rank (FPR) algorithm adaptation for the problem of scientific papers ranking. FPR is based on the Focused Surfer model, where the probability to follow the reference in a paper is proportional to its citation count. Evaluation on Citeseer autonomous digital library content showed that proposed model is a tradeoff between traditional citation count and basic Page Rank (PR...

PURPOSE To determine which resources residents use at the point-of-care (POC) for decision making, the drivers for selection of these resources, and how residents use Google/Google Scholar to answer clinical questions at the POC. METHOD In January 2012, 299 residents from three internal medicine residencies were sent an electronic survey regarding resources used for POC decision making. Resou...
