Extracting textual features from tweets is a challenging process due to the noisy nature of the content and the weak signal of most of the words used. In this paper, we propose using singular value decomposition (SVD) with clustering to…
The probabilistic top-k queries based on the interplay of score and probability, under the possible worlds semantic, become an important research issue that considers both score and uncertainty on the same basis. In the literature, many…
Over the past decade humans have experienced exponential growth in the use of online resources, in particular social media and microblogging websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and also mobile applications such as WhatsApp, Line,…
A word embedding is a low-dimensional, dense and real- valued vector representation of a word. Word embeddings have been used in many NLP tasks. They are usually gener- ated from a large text corpus. The embedding of a word cap- tures both…
Social networks play a fundamental role in propagation of information and news. Characterizing the content of the messages becomes vital for different tasks, like breaking news detection, personalized message recommendation, fake users…
Keyword-based web queries with local intent retrieve web content that is relevant to supplied keywords and that represent points of interest that are near the query location. Two broad categories of such queries exist. The first encompasses…
Intervals have been generated in many applications (e.g., temporal databases), and they are often associated with weights, such as prices. This paper addresses the problem of processing top-k weighted stabbing queries on interval data.…
Twitter has grown to become an important platform to access immediate information about major events and dynamic topics. As one example, recent work has shown that classifiers trained to detect topical content on Twitter can generalize well…
Twitter, a microblogging service, is todays most popular platform for communication in the form of short text messages, called Tweets. Users use Twitter to publish their content either for expressing concerns on information news or views on…
The study of the stock market with the attraction of machine learning approaches is a major direction for revealing hidden market regularities. This knowledge contributes to a profound understanding of financial market dynamics and getting…
Social media datasets, especially Twitter tweets, are popular in the field of text classification. Tweets are a valuable source of micro-text (sometimes referred to as "micro-blogs"), and have been studied in domains such as sentiment…
Frequently-Asked-Question (FAQ) retrieval provides an effective procedure for responding to user's natural language based queries. Such platforms are becoming common in enterprise chatbots, product question answering, and preliminary…
The hashtag recommendation problem addresses recommending (suggesting) one or more hashtags to explicitly tag a post made on a given social network platform, based upon the content and context of the post. In this work, we propose a novel…
We introduce and address the problem of ad hoc table retrieval: answering a keyword query with a ranked list of tables. This task is not only interesting on its own account, but is also being used as a core component in many other…
Text-to-SQL prompt strategies based on Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance on well-known benchmarks. However, when applied to real-world databases, their performance is significantly less than for these benchmarks,…
Many words in documents recur very frequently but are essentially meaningless as they are used to join words together in a sentence. It is commonly understood that stop words do not contribute to the context or content of textual documents.…
Micro-blogging sources such as the Twitter social network provide valuable real-time data for market prediction models. Investors' opinions in this network follow the fluctuations of the stock markets and often include educated speculations…
The recent advances in large language models (LLM) and foundation models with emergent capabilities have been shown to improve the performance of many NLP tasks. LLMs and Knowledge Graphs (KG) can complement each other such that LLMs can be…
Predicting personality is essential for social applications supporting human-centered activities, yet prior modeling methods with users written text require too much input data to be realistically used in the context of social media. In…
Term weighting metrics assign weights to terms in order to discriminate the important terms from the less crucial ones. Due to this characteristic, these metrics have attracted growing attention in text classification and recently in…
