Robustness, replicability and scalability in topic modelling

Orion B Penner

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 ...

Multi-scale sequential network for semantic text segmentation and localization

Jean-Marc Odobez, Olivier Canévet, Michael Villamizar

We present a novel method for semantic text document analysis which in addition to localizing text it labels the text in user-defined semantic categories. More precisely, it consists of a fully-convolutional and sequential network that we apply to the part ...

The organisation of science: topics, incentives and funding.

Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...

Concept Discovery for The Interpretation of Landscape Scenicness

Devis Tuia

In this paper, we study how to extract visual concepts to understand landscape scenicness. Using visual feature representations from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we learn a number of Concept Activation Vectors (CAV) aligned with semantic concepts ...

Text Similarity in Vector Space Models: A Comparative Study

Kenneth Younge, Omid Shahmirzadi, Adam Lugowski

Automatic measurement of semantic text similarity is an important task in natural language processing. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of different vector space models to perform this task. We address the real-world problem of modeling patent-to ...

Simple Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction using Sentence Embeddings

Martin Jaggi, Claudiu-Cristian Musat, Kamil Bennani-Smires

Keyphrase extraction is the task of automatically selecting a small set of phrases that best describe a given free text document. Keyphrases can be used for indexing, searching, aggregating and summarizing text documents, serving many automatic as well as ...

Explicit Suggestion of Query Terms for News Search using Topic Models and Word Embeddings

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Parvaz Mahdabi

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 ...

N-gram-Based Low-Dimensional Representation for Document Classification

Rémi Philippe Lebret, Ronan Collobert

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 ...
