The use of attributed quotes is the most direct and least filtered pathway of information propagation in news. Consequently, quotes play a central role in the conception, reception, and analysis of news stories. Since quotes provide a more direct window in ...
Word embedding is a feature learning technique which aims at mapping words from a vocabulary into vectors of real numbers in a low-dimensional space. By leveraging large corpora of unlabeled text, such continuous space representations can be computed for c ...
Topic models are useful tools for analyzing and interpreting the main underlying themes of large corpora of text. Most topic models rely on word co-occurrence for computing a topic, i.e., a weighted set of words that together represent a high-level semanti ...
Approaches for estimating the similarity between individual publications are an area of long -standing interest in the scientometrics and informetrics communities. Traditional techniques have generally relied on references and other metadata, while text mi ...
Keeping track of Internet latency is a classic measurement problem. Open measurement platforms like RIPE Atlas are a great solution, but they also face challenges: preventing network overload that may result from uncontrolled active measurements, and maint ...
The bag-of-words (BOW) model is the common approach for classifying documents, where words are used as feature for training a classifier. This generally involves a huge number of features. Some techniques, such as Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) or Latent D ...
To improve hydro-chemical modeling and forecasting, there is a need to better understand flood-induced variability in water chemistry and the processes controlling it in watersheds. In the literature, assumptions are often made, for instance, that stream c ...
Elevated nitrate from human activity causes ecosystem and economic harm globally. The factors that control the spatiotemporal dynamics of riverine nitrate concentration remain difficult to describe and predict. We analyzed nitrate concentration from 4450 s ...
This report presents a study on assisting users in building queries to perform real-time searches in a news and social media monitoring system. The system accepts complex queries, and we assist the user by suggesting related keywords or entities. We do thi ...
While social data is being widely used in various applications such as sentiment analysis and trend prediction, its sheer size also presents great challenges for storing, sharing and processing such data. These challenges can be addressed by data summariza ...
