Synonym extraction is an important task in natural language processing and often used as a submodule in query expansion, question answering and other applications. Automatic synonym extractor is highly preferred for large scale…
Since long, corporations are looking for knowledge sources which can provide structured description of data and can focus on meaning and shared understanding. Structures which can facilitate open world assumptions and can be flexible enough…
This paper presents a new graph-based approach that induces synsets using synonymy dictionaries and word embeddings. First, we build a weighted graph of synonyms extracted from commonly available resources, such as Wiktionary. Second, we…
Query sensitive summarization aims at providing the users with the summary of the contents of single or multiple web pages based on the search query. This paper proposes a novel idea of generating a comparative summary from a set of URLs…
Exploratory search aims to guide users through a corpus rather than pinpointing exact information. We propose an exploratory search system based on hierarchical clusters and document summaries using sentence embeddings. With sentence…
This paper presents an approach to enhance search engines with information about word senses available in WordNet. The approach exploits information about the conceptual relations within the lexical-semantic net. In the wrapper for search…
We propose a novel approach to program synthesis, focusing on synthesizing database queries. At a high level, our proposed algorithm takes as input a sketch with soft constraints encoding user intent, and then iteratively interacts with the…
Retrieving paragraphs to populate a Wikipedia article is a challenging task. The new TREC Complex Answer Retrieval (TREC CAR) track introduces a comprehensive dataset that targets this retrieval scenario. We present early results from a…
We focus on the problem of query rewriting for sponsored search. We base rewrites on a historical click graph that records the ads that have been clicked on in response to past user queries. Given a query q, we first consider Simrank as a…
Semantic Web is, without a doubt, gaining momentum in both industry and academia. The word "Semantic" refers to "meaning" - a semantic web is a web of meaning. In this fast changing and result oriented practical world, gone are the days…
In this paper we present our web application SeRE designed to explore semantically related concepts. Wikipedia and DBpedia are rich data sources to extract related entities for a given topic, like in- and out-links, broader and narrower…
With the fast growth of the Internet, more and more information is available on the Web. The Semantic Web has many features which cannot be handled by using the traditional search engines. It extracts metadata for each discovered Web…
We present WISER, a new semantic search engine for expert finding in academia. Our system is unsupervised and it jointly combines classical language modeling techniques, based on text evidences, with the Wikipedia Knowledge Graph, via…
The goal of formalization, proposed in this paper, is to bring together, as near as possible, the theoretic linguistic problem of synonym conception and the computer linguistic methods based generally on empirical intuitive unjustified…
Tables are an extremely powerful visual and interactive tool for structuring and manipulating data, making spreadsheet programs one of the most popular computer applications. In this paper we introduce and address the task of recommending…
As one of the richest sources of encyclopedic information on the Web, Wikipedia generates an enormous amount of traffic. In this paper, we study large-scale article access data of the English Wikipedia in order to compare articles with…
Increasingly large data series collections are becoming commonplace across many different domains and applications. A key operation in the analysis of data series collections is similarity search, which has attracted lots of attention and…
Emphasis Selection is a newly proposed task which focuses on choosing words for emphasis in short sentences. Traditional methods only consider the sequence information of a sentence while ignoring the rich sentence structure and word…
Hierarchical domain-specific classification schemas (or subject heading vocabularies) are often used to identify, classify, and disambiguate concepts that occur in scholarly articles. In this work, we develop, apply, and evaluate a…
Schema Matching is a method of finding attributes that are either similar to each other linguistically or represent the same information. In this project, we take a hybrid approach at solving this problem by making use of both the provided…
