Рассмотрены проблемы пополнения компьютерного семантического словаря новыми словами, встреченными в тексте при его анализе. Предлагаемая для этого система работает в полуавтоматическом диалоговом режиме. На первом этапе определяются морфологические характеристики нового слова, на втором – его синтактико-семантические параметры по аналогам, имеющимся в существующем словаре. Предлагаемые подходы обеспечивают высокий уровень точности. Впервые появилась возможность указания точной семантики новых слов с учетом не только семантических классов, но и аргументов, обеспечивающих связь с подсоединяемыми словами.

Classification and clustering in media monitoring: from knowledge engineering...Lidia Pivovarova
This PhD thesis examines classification and clustering techniques for media monitoring, including news grouping, multi-label text classification, and business polarity detection. It focuses on applying these methods to the PULS media monitoring system, which collects over 10,000 news articles daily. The thesis contributes novel algorithms and datasets for grouping news into stories based on named entity salience, large-scale multi-label text classification balancing training sets, and the first dataset and methods for entity-level business polarity detection.
The document describes a Russian paraphrase corpus created by the authors. It contains over 8000 sentence pairs annotated as precise, loose, or non-paraphrases using crowdsourcing. The corpus was collected from news headlines and aims to capture the most important events. The authors evaluate different models for classifying sentence pairs and find that combining linguistic features improves performance over individual feature types. Graphs built from the corpus can reveal connected events more completely than human annotations alone.
This document discusses the work of Antiplagiat Research, which tackles challenging natural language processing and plagiarism detection problems. It outlines their focus on cross-language plagiarism detection, machine-generated text detection, and intrinsic plagiarism detection. It also describes Antiplagiat Research's collaboration opportunities and their participation in evaluating plagiarism detection algorithms through workshops like Dialogue Evaluation.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed 47,410 Instagram images from Saint Petersburg over one year to understand human experience in different urban areas. The images were clustered using Google tags and user hashtags into topics like portraits, cars, flowers. The clusters were mapped geographically to see their spatial distribution. Clusters like hairstyle and animals were evenly distributed, while clothing, fitness and architecture were more detached, indicating urban segregation. The combination of semantic and geospatial analysis of social media images provided new insights into urban life not previously available from traditional data sources.
The document discusses the Pullenti NER Engine and its use in semantic similarity tasks. It presents the Semantics-Oriented Linguistic Processor (SOLP) which establishes text segments containing similar semantic units. It then describes the hybrid linguistic and machine learning approach used by the Pullenti-based engine, including the two-step Semantic Expansion Algorithm. Performance figures and evaluation metrics for Pullenti's named entity recognition are also provided.
The document discusses the reliability of results from corpus research and introduces a solution called GICR that provides automatic result analysis. GICR allows users to see statistics on search areas to check for bias or lack of homogeneity compared to the entire corpus by displaying metadata attributes like URLs, document IDs, author information, region, gender, and genre. It aims to address the problem that simply getting IPM and KWIC search results does not indicate if the results are biased by providing analysis directly in the interface.
This document discusses methods for estimating a user's actual age and gender when those values are not directly provided. It outlines using social graph analysis, natural language processing, analyzing user interests, and statistical methods. For social graph analysis, it examines using connections like classmates to infer age and analyzing local graph properties. NLP looks at gender-specific language in user profiles while interest analysis matches users to gender-biased communities. Statistics applies overall patterns in the data to make estimations.
This document presents mathematical models of information dissemination and warfare. It discusses:
1) Models of information spreading through both vertical (centralized) and horizontal (interpersonal) flows, and how the combination of these determines information dynamics in society.
2) Models of information adoption and forgetting over time, and the effects of incomplete media coverage and two-step perception.
3) Models of information warfare between two information sources, examining the necessary conditions for one to win over the other.
4) Extensions of these models including periodic destabilization, additional factors like forgetting, and a model of individual choice-making during information warfare.
This document discusses the analysis and modeling of complex systems. It describes analyzing the problem, modeling the system, and determining both quantitative and qualitative parameters. An example is given of assigning weights to different quantitative parameters. The document recommends creating a coordinate system and basis to define qualitative parameters. It formulates the final task as creating a concept for a basis of a quality parameter system. It seeks colleagues to partner with on further developing these analysis methods.
This document discusses trend detection at OK. It describes the multi-step process used: text extraction from logs, language detection, tokenization, dictionary extraction, vectorization, deduplication, statistics calculation, trend identification, clustering of trending terms, extraction of relevant documents, and visualization of trends. Both batch and streaming approaches are discussed to address the need for timely trend detection. Technologies used include Apache Kafka, YARN, Spark, Samza, Lucene and ELKI.
1. The researcher analyzed quantitative characteristics such as entropy, readability, lexical diversity, frequencies of words, and parts of speech for different text genres including scientific texts, news articles, and student writings.
2. The analysis found that student writings had higher entropy and readability than news articles or scientific texts. News articles had higher lexical diversity and frequencies of common words.
3. To evaluate the accuracy of a developed Old Irish lemmatizer, the researcher applied it to a test corpus of 840 tokens, of which 186 were unknown words. The lemmatizer correctly predicted lemmas for 84 of the unknown words, achieving an accuracy of around 60% for unknown words.
This document discusses methods for evaluating clustering validity indices (CVIs) that measure the quality of clustering results. It proposes using human assessments of clustered data as ground truth to evaluate how well different CVIs match human judgments. An experimental evaluation of 19 CVIs on 41 datasets clustered using 6 algorithms showed that none of the CVIs perfectly matched human assessments. The document concludes that while no universal CVI exists, meta-learning from past human assessments could help select the most appropriate CVI for a new clustering problem.

5) ElSmart, the first Android phone for blind users.
6) Zenbot, an open source framework for developing voice assistants across platforms.
This document proposes a data augmentation method for image sentiment analysis using hashtags. It involves collecting a small set of manually labeled images and their hashtags, learning to predict sentiment labels from the hashtags using machine learning, and using this model to automatically label more images. Preliminary results show the hashtag-predicted labels match human labels with 83-95% accuracy. However, more testing is needed on a general set of images to fully evaluate the method's effectiveness.
This document proposes a method for continuous time series alignment in human action recognition. It defines continuous versions of time series, warping paths, and the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance. The method finds the optimal continuous warping path by approximating solutions to a cost minimization problem. An experiment applies the continuous DTW to classify human activities from accelerometer data, achieving classification accuracy close to the discrete DTW method. The continuous approach solves issues with resampling data and has potential for improved approximations and optimization methods.
