Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to apply vector space model (VSM)-PCR model to compute the similarity of Fault zone ontology semantics, which verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of VSM-PCR method in uncertainty mapping of ontologies.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors first define the concept of uncertainty ontology and then propose the method of ontology mapping. The proposed method fully considers the properties of ontology in measuring the similarity of concept. It expands the single VSM of concept meaning or instance set to the “meaning, properties, instance” three-dimensional VSM and uses membership degree or correlation to express the level of uncertainty.

Findings

It provides a relatively better accuracy which verified the feasibility and effectiveness of VSM-PCR method in treating the uncertainty mapping of ontology.

Research limitations/implications

The future work will focus on exploring the similarity measure and combinational methods in every dimension.

Originality/value

This paper presents an uncertain mapping method of ontology concept based on three-dimensional combination weighted VSM, namely, VSM-PCR. It expands the single VSM of concept meaning or instance set to the “meaning, properties, instance” three-dimensional VSM. The model uses membership degree or correlation which is used to express the degree of uncertainty; as a result, a three-dimensional VSM is obtained. The authors finally provide an example to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of VSM-PCR method in treating the uncertainty mapping of ontology.

Abstract

Purpose

Based on user-generated content from a Chinese social media platform, this paper aims to investigate multiple methods of constructing user profiles and their effectiveness in predicting their gender, age and geographic location.

Design/methodology/approach

This investigation collected 331,634 posts from 4,440 users of Sina Weibo. The data were divided into two parts, for training and testing . First, a vector space model and topic models were applied to construct user profiles. A classification model was then learned by a support vector machine according to the training data set. Finally, we used the classification model to predict users’ gender, age and geographic location in the testing data set.

Findings

The results revealed that in constructing user profiles, latent semantic analysis performed better on the task of predicting gender and age. By contrast, the method based on a traditional vector space model worked better in making predictions regarding the geographic location. In the process of applying a topic model to construct user profiles, the authors found that different prediction tasks should use different numbers of topics.

Originality/value

This study explores different user profile construction methods to predict Chinese social media network users’ gender, age and geographic location. The results of this paper will help to improve the quality of personal information gathered from social media platforms, and thereby improve personalized recommendation systems and personalized marketing.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to model a technique that categorizes the texts from huge documents. The progression in internet technologies has raised the count of document accessibility, and thus the documents available online become countless. The text documents comprise of research article, journal papers, newspaper, technical reports and blogs. These large documents are useful and valuable for processing real-time applications. Also, these massive documents are used in several retrieval methods. Text classification plays a vital role in information retrieval technologies and is considered as an active field for processing massive applications. The aim of text classification is to categorize the large-sized documents into different categories on the basis of its contents. There exist numerous methods for performing text-related tasks such as profiling users, sentiment analysis and identification of spams, which is considered as a supervised learning issue and is addressed with text classifier.

Design/methodology/approach

At first, the input documents are pre-processed using the stop word removal and stemming technique such that the input is made effective and capable for feature extraction. In the feature extraction process, the features are extracted using the vector space model (VSM) and then, the feature selection is done for selecting the highly relevant features to perform text categorization. Once the features are selected, the text categorization is progressed using the deep belief network (DBN). The training of the DBN is performed using the proposed grasshopper crow optimization algorithm (GCOA) that is the integration of the grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) and Crow search algorithm (CSA). Moreover, the hybrid weight bounding model is devised using the proposed GCOA and range degree. Thus, the proposed GCOA + DBN is used for classifying the text documents.

Findings

The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated using accuracy, precision and recall is compared with existing techniques such as naive bayes, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machine and deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and Stochastic Gradient-CAViaR + DCNN. Here, the proposed GCOA + DBN has improved performance with the values of 0.959, 0.959 and 0.96 for precision, recall and accuracy, respectively.

Originality/value

This paper proposes a technique that categorizes the texts from massive sized documents. From the findings, it can be shown that the proposed GCOA-based DBN effectively classifies the text documents.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to describe a proposal for a data-driven investigation aimed at determining whether students’ learning behavior can be extracted and visualized from action logs recorded by Moodle. The paper also tried to show whether there is a correlation between the activity level of students in online environments and their academic performance with respect to final grade.

Design/methodology/approach

The analysis was carried out using log data obtained from various courses dispensed in a university using a Moodle platform. The study also collected demographic profiles of students and compared them with their activity level in order to analyze how these attributes affect students’ level of activity in the online environment.

Findings

This work has shown that data mining algorithm like vector space model can be used to aggregate the action logs of students and quantify it into a single numeric value that can be used to generate visualizations of students’ level of activity. The current investigation indicates that there is a lot of variability in terms of the correlation between these two variables.

Practical implications

The value presented in the study can help instructors monitor course progression and enable them to rapidly identify which students are not performing well and adjust their pedagogical strategies accordingly.

Originality/value

A plan to continue the work by developing a complete dashboard style interface that instructors can use is already underway. More data need to be collected and more advanced processing tools are necessary in order to obtain a better perspective on this issue.

Abstract

Purpose

The algorithm of disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery provides a convenient, efficient and effective auxiliary method for scientific research. Based on an analysis of Swanson's A‐B‐C model of disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery and Gordon's intermediate literature theory, this paper seeks to propose a more comprehensive compound correlation model for disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery.

Design/methodology/approach

A new algorithm of vector space model (VSM) based disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery is designed to implement the compound correlation model.

Findings

The validity tests showed that this new model not only simulated both of Swanson's early and well‐known discoveries of Raynaud's disease‐fish oil and migraine‐magnesium connections successfully, but also applied to knowledge discovery in the agricultural economics literature in the Chinese language.

Research limitations/implications

Although the workload was reduced to the minimum under the compound correlation model compared with other algorithms and models, part of the work needed some manual intervention in the process of disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery with the VSM‐based compound correlation model.

Practical implications

The algorithm was capable of knowledge discovery with a large‐scale dataset and had an advantage in identifying a series of hidden connections among a set of literatures. Therefore, application of the model might be extended to more fields.

Originality/value

Traditional two‐step knowledge discovery procedures were integrated into the model, which contained open and closed disjoint literature‐based knowledge discovery.

Abstract

Purpose

Term suggestion is a very useful information retrieval technique that tries to suggest relevant terms for users' queries, to help advertisers find more appropriate terms relevant to their target market. This paper aims to focus on the problem of using several semantic analysis methods to implement a term suggestion system.

Design/methodology/approach

Three semantic analysis techniques are adopted – latent semantic indexing (LSI), probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI), and a keyword relationship graph (KRG) – to implement a term suggestion system.

Findings

This paper shows that using multiple semantic analysis techniques can give significant performance improvements.

Research limitations/implications

The suggested terms returned from the system may be out of date, since the system uses a batch processing mode to update the training parameter.

Originality/value

The paper shows that the benefit of the techniques is to overcome the problems of synonymy and polysemy over the information retrieval field, by using a vector space model. Moreover, an intelligent stopping strategy is proposed to save the required number of iterations for probabilistic latent semantic indexing.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper seeks to focus on the problems of integrating information from open, distributed scholarly collections, and on the opportunities these collections represent for research communities in developing countries. The paper aims to introduce OntOAIr, a semi‐automatic method for constructing lightweight ontologies of documents in repositories such as those provided by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI).

Design/methodology/approach

OntOAIr uses simplified document representations, a clustering algorithm, and ontological engineering techniques.

Findings

The paper presents experimental results of the potential positive impact of ontologies and specifically of OntOAIr on the use of collections provided by OAI.

Research limitations/implications

By applying OntOAIr, scholars who frequently spend many hours organizing OAI information spaces will obtain support that will allow them to speed up the entire research cycle and, expectedly, participate more fully in global research communities.

Originality/value

The proposed method allows human and software agents to organize and retrieve groups of documents from multiple collections. Applications of OntOAIr include enhanced document retrieval. In this paper, the authors focus particularly on document retrieval applications.

Abstract

Purpose

Although acknowledged as a principal dimension in the context of text mining, time has yet to be formally incorporated into the process of visually representing the relationships between keywords in a knowledge domain. This paper aims to develop and validate the feasibility of adding temporal knowledge to a concept map via pair-wise temporal analysis (PTA).

Design/methodology/approach

The paper presents a temporal trend detection algorithm – vector space model – designed to use objective quantitative pair-wise temporal operators to automatically detect co-occurring hot concepts. This PTA approach is demonstrated and validated without loss of generality for a spectrum of information technologies.

Findings

The rigorous validation study shows that the resulting temporal assessments are highly correlated with subjective assessments of experts (n = 136), exhibiting substantial reliability-of-agreement measures and average predictive validity above 85 per cent.

Practical implications

Using massive amounts of textual documents available on the Web to first generate a concept map and then add temporal knowledge, the contribution of this work is emphasized and magnified against the current growing attention to big data analytics.

Originality/value

This paper proposes a novel knowledge discovery method to improve a text-based concept map (i.e. semantic graph) via detection and representation of temporal relationships. The originality and value of the proposed method is highlighted in comparison to other knowledge discovery methods.
