In this article, we propose a random walk-based model to predict legislators’ votes on a set of bills. In particular, we first convert roll call data, i.e. the recorded votes a...
Heterogeneous information networks that contain multiple types of objects and links are ubiquitous in the real world, such as bibliographic networks, cyber-physical networks, and ...
Context-dependent word similarity can be measured over multiple cross-cutting dimensions. For example, lung and breath are similar thematically, while authoritative and superfici...
With the increasing success and commercial integration of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), the focus shifts away from coverage to data quality and homogeneity. Within the ...
Semantic similarity measures have been used successfully and extensively in the biomedical research with various applications. As the biomedical ontologies, which form the main gro...
Latent relational search (LRS) is a novel approach for mapping knowledge across two domains. Given a source domain knowledge concerning the Moon, “The Moon is a satellite of the...
This article presents a measure of semantic similarity in an is-a taxonomy based on the notion of shared information content. Experimental evaluation against a benchmark set of hu...
This paper investigates the use and the prediction potential of semantic similarity measures for automatic generation of links across different documents and passages. First, the ...
We propose to analyse semantic similarity in comparable text by matching syntactic trees and labeling the alignments according to one of five semantic similarity relations. We pre...
Background: The Gene Ontology (GO) is a well known controlled vocabulary describing the biological process, molecular function and cellular component aspects of gene annotation. I...
