Genre analysis of structured e-mails for corpus profiling. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
CLARK, M., RUTHVEN, I. and O'BRIAN HOLT, P. 2008. Genre analysis of structured e-mails for corpus profiling. In De Roeck, A., Song, D. and Kruschwitz, U. (eds.) Proceedings of the Workshop on corpus profiling for information retrieval and natural language profiling, 18 October 2008, London, UK. London: BCS [online]. Available from: https://ewic.bcs.org/content/ConWebDoc/26114

This paper reports on our approach to the analysis of genre recognition using eyetracking. We focused on a collection of different types of email which could represent different datasets, such as, mailing lists for calls for papers, newsletters, etc....

A latent variable model for query expansion using the Hidden Markov Model (2008)
Presentation / Conference
HUANG, Q. and SONG, D. 2008. A latent variable model for query expansion using the Hidden Markov model. In Proceedings of the 17th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) international conference on information and knowledge management (CIKM'08), 26-30 October 2008, Napa Valley, USA. New York: ACM [online], pages 1417-1418. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/1458082.1458310

We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed LVM, the combinations of query terms are viewed as the latent variable... Read More about A latent variable model for query expansion using the Hidden Markov Model.

Making the invisible visible: a theory of security culture for secure and usable grids. (2008)
Presentation / Conference
FAILY, S. and FLÉCHAIS, I. 2008. Making the invisible visible: a theory of security culture for secure and usable grids. Presented at the 2008 UK e-science all hands meeting (AHM 2008), 8-11 September 2008, Edinburgh, UK.

This presentation addressed the concept of security culture and how it might be applied to grid-based collaborative environments. The presentation outlined some guidelines for fostering a healthy security culture and proposed ideas for future work.

Dissimilarity measures for content-based image retrieval. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
HU, R., RUGER, S., SONG, D., LIU, H. and HUANG, Z. 2008. Dissimilarity measures for content-based image retrieval. In Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE international conference on multimedia and expo (ICME 2008), 23-26 June 2008, Hannover, Germany. New York: IEEE [online], article number 4607697, pages 1365-1368. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1109/ICME.2008.4607697

Dissimilarity measurement plays a crucial role in content-based image retrieval. In this paper, 16 core dissimilarity measures are introduced and evaluated. We carry out a systematic performance comparison on three image collections, Corel, Getty and... Read More about Dissimilarity measures for content-based image retrieval..

Toward a fuzzy domain ontology extraction method for adaptive e-learning. (2008)
Journal Article
LAU, R.Y.K., SONG, D., LI, Y., CHEUNG, T.C.H. and HAO, J.-X. 2009. Towards a fuzzy domain ontology extraction method for adaptive e-learning. IEEE transactions on knowledge and data engineering [online], 21(6), pages 800-813. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1109/TKDE.2008.137

With the widespread applications of electronic learning (e-Learning) technologies to education at all levels, increasing number of online educational resources and messages are generated from the corresponding e-Learning environments. Nevertheless, i... Read More about Toward a fuzzy domain ontology extraction method for adaptive e-learning..

Event and map content personalisation in a mobile and context-aware environment. (2008)
Thesis
BIERIG, R., 2008. Event and map content personalisation in a mobile and context-aware environment. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Effective methods for information access are of the greatest importance for our modern lives “ particularly with respect to handheld devices. Personalisation is one such method which models a users characteristics to deliver content more focused to t...

The asymptotic behavior of a limited dependencies language model. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
HOENKAMP, E., BRUZA, P., HUANG, Q. and SONG, D. 2008. The asymptotic behavior of a limited dependencies language model. In Hoenkamp, E., De Cock, M. and Hoste, V. (eds.) Proceedings of 8th Dutch-Belgian information retrieval workshop 2008 (DIR 2008), 14-15 April 2008, Maastricht, Netherlands. Enschede: Neslia Paniculata, pages 59-64.

Intuitively, any ‘bag of words’ approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies have been mixed or inconclusive. To improve the situation, this paper shows...

Towards a belief-revision-based adaptive and context-sensitive information retrieval system. (2008)
Journal Article
LAU, R.Y.K., BRUZA, P. and SONG, D. 2008. Towards a belief-revision-based adaptive and context-sensitive information retrieval system. ACM transactions on information systems [online], 26(2), article number 8. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/1344411.1344414

In an adaptive information retrieval (IR) setting, the information seekers' beliefs about which terms are relevant, or non-relevant, will naturally fluctuate. This article investigates how the theory of belief revision can be used to model adaptive I...
