We present an extension to DL-based taxonomic reasoning by means of inference fusion, i.e. the dynamic combination of inferences from distributed heterogeneous reasoners. Our approach integrates results from a DL-based system with results from a cons... Read More about Facilitating DL-based hybrid reasoning with inference fusion..

Towards context-sensitive information inference. (2003)

Humans can make hasty, but generally robust judgements about what a text fragment is, or is not, about. Such judgements are termed information inference. This article furnishes an account of information inference from a psychologistic stance. By draw... Read More about Towards context-sensitive information inference..

Application of aboutness to functional benchmarking in information retrieval. (2001)
Journal Article
WONG, K.-F., SONG, D., BRUZA, P. and CHENG, C.-H. 2001. Application of aboutness to functional benchmarking in information retrieval. ACM transactions on information systems, 19(4), pages 337-370. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/502795.502796

Experimental approaches are widely employed to benchmark the performance of an information retrieval (IR) system. Measurements in terms of recall and precision are computed as performance indicators. Although they are good at assessing the retrieval... Read More about Application of aboutness to functional benchmarking in information retrieval..

Maintaining retrieval knowledge in a case-based reasoning system. (2001)
Journal Article
CRAW, S., JARMULAK, J. and ROWE, R. 2001. Maintaining retrieval knowledge in a case-based reasoning system. Computational intelligence [online], 17(2), pages 346-363. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/0824-7935.00149

The knowledge stored in a case base is central to the problem solving of a case-based reasoning (CBR) system. Therefore, case-base maintenance is a key component of maintaining a CBR system. However, other knowledge sources, such as indexing and simi... Read More about Maintaining retrieval knowledge in a case-based reasoning system..

Aboutness from a commonsense perspective. (2000)
Journal Article
BRUZA, P.D., SONG, D.W. and WONG, K.F. 2000. Aboutness from a commonsense perspective. Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology [online], 51(12), pages 1090-1105. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/1097-4571(2000)9999:9999<::AID-ASI1026>3.0.CO;2-Y

Information retrieval (IR) is driven by a process which decides whether a document is about a query. Recent attempts spawned from logic-based information retrieval theory have formalized properties characterizing aboutness, but no consensus has yet b...
