An architectural design for effective information retrieval in semantic web

The current web IR system retrieves relevant information only based on the keywords which is inadequate for that vast amount of data. It provides limited capabilities to capture the concepts of the user needs and the relation between the keywords. These limitations lead to the idea of the user conceptual search which includes concepts and meanings. This study deals with the Semantic Based Information Retrieval System for a semantic web search and presented with an improved algorithm to retrieve the information in a more efficient way.This architecture takes as input a list of plain keywords provided by the user and the query is converted into semantic query. This conversion is carried out with the help of the domain concepts of the pre-existing domain ontologies and a third party thesaurus and discover semantic relationship between them in runtime. The relevant information for the semantic query is retrieved and ranked according to the relevancy with the help of an improved algorithm. The performance analysis shows that the proposed system can improve the accuracy and effectiveness for retrieving relevant web documents compared to the existing systems.     

用于提高谷歌图像搜索结果的二分类器在线学习方法

对于基于关键词的图像检索,利用检索结果的视觉相似性学习二分类器有望成为改善检索结果的最有效途径之一. 为改善搜索引擎的搜索结果,本文提出一种算法框架并且基于此框架着重研究训练数据选择这一关键问题. 训练数据选择过程由两个阶段组成:1）训练数据初始化以开始分类器学习过程;2）分类器迭代学习过程中的动态数据选择. 对于初始训练数据的选择,我们探讨了基于聚类和基于排序两种方法,并且对比了自动训练数据选择与人工标注的结果. 对于动态数据选择,我们比较了支持向量机和基于最大最小后验伪概率的贝叶斯分类器的分类效果. 组合上述两个阶段的不同方法,我们得到了8种不同的算法,并将其用于谷歌搜索引擎进行基于关键词的图像检索. 实验结果证明,如何从含有噪声的搜索结果中选择训练数据是搜索结果改善的关键问题. 实验显示我们的方法能够有效的改善谷歌搜索的结果,尤其是排序在前的结果. 尽早为用户提供更相关的结果能够更大程度的减少用户逐个翻页查看结果的工作. 另外,如何使自动训练数据选择与人工标注媲美仍是需要继续研究的一个问题.     

2DPCA-SIFT:一种有效的局部特征描述方法

PCA-SIFT （Principal component analysis—scale invariant feature transform）方法通过对归一化梯度向量进行PCA降维,在保留特征不变性的同时,有效地降低了特征矢量的维数,从而提高了局部特征的匹配速度. 但PCA-SIFT中对本征向量空间的求解非常耗时,极大地限制了PCA-SIFT的灵活性与应用范围. 本文提出采用2DPCA对梯度向量块进行降维的特征描述方法. 该方法相比于PCA-SIFT,可以快速地求解本征空间. 实验结果表明:2DPCA-SIFT在多种图像变换匹配和图像检索实验中可以实现与PCA-SIFT相当的性能,并且从计算效率上看,2DPCA-SIFT具有更好的扩展性.     

Ensemble of multiple instance classifiers for image re-ranking

Text-based image retrieval may perform poorly due to the irrelevant and/or incomplete text surrounding the images in the web pages. In such situations, visual content of the images can be leveraged to improve the image ranking performance. In this paper, we look into this problem of image re-ranking and propose a system that automatically constructs multiple candidate “multi-instance bags (MI-bags)”, which are likely to contain relevant images. These automatically constructed bags are then utilized by ensembles of Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) classifiers and the images are re-ranked according to the final classification responses. Our method is unsupervised in the sense that, the only input to the system is the text query itself, without any user feedback or annotation. The experimental results demonstrate that constructing multiple instance bags based on the retrieval order and utilizing ensembles of MIL classifiers greatly enhance the retrieval performance, achieving on par or better results compared to the state-of-the-art.     

Efficient data selection for speech recognition based on prior confidence estimation using speech and monophone models

This paper proposes an efficient speech data selection technique that can identify those data that will be well recognized. Conventional confidence measure techniques can also identify well-recognized speech data. However, those techniques require a lot of computation time for speech recognition processing to estimate confidence scores. Speech data with low confidence should not go through the time-consuming recognition process since they will yield erroneous spoken documents that will eventually be rejected. The proposed technique can select the speech data that will be acceptable for speech recognition applications. It rapidly selects speech data with high prior confidence based on acoustic likelihood values and using only speech and monophone models. Experiments show that the proposed confidence estimation technique is over 50 times faster than the conventional posterior confidence measure while providing equivalent data selection performance for speech recognition and spoken document retrieval.     

结合相关规则和本体加权图的查询扩展

针对现有信息检索系统查询性能的不足,提出了一种结合相关规则和WordNet本体信息的查询扩展方法.该方法借助相关规则挖掘和WordNet本体信息构建加权词语关系图,并根据加权图的结构和权重信息计算扩展词的重要性.查询时,从这个图中取原查询词的最邻近词作为扩展词来源,选取其中权重最大的p个词返回并进行二次检索.在实现算法的基础上,通过Lucene全文检索器进行实验,将所得的结果值F1与其他算法的结果作比较.比较结果表明,该方法比不作扩展的检索有约16.93％的性能提升.
