WikiNect: kinetische Museumswikis
Prof. Dr. Alexander Mehler
Institut für Informatik – AG Texttechnologie
Das zugleich kultur- und informationswissenschaftliche Projekt WikiNect zielt auf die Konzeptionierung, Modellierung und Erprobung einer geisteswissenschaftlich motivierten Technologie, welche das Prinzip des Game with a Purpose mit dem Prinzip der wikibasierten Kollaboration und der bewegungsunterstützten Texttechnologie im Anwendungskontext von Museen vereint:
- Games with a Purpose [1] wurden dazu entwickelt, nicht automatisierbare Aufgaben der Informationsanreicherung von Objekten (Bilder, Videos etc.) derart in webbasierte Spiele zu integrieren, dass die Aufgabenerledigung als Nebenprodukt des Spiels abfällt. Der Spielcharakter birgt einen Unterhaltungswert für die beteiligten Spieler und motiviert diese zur Teilnahme.
- Wikis [2] wurden zu dem Zweck entwickelt, Webusern die Möglichkeit zur kooperativen Dokumentation und Strukturierung von Wissens- oder allgemeiner von Interessensgebieten zu geben. Auf diese Weise ist mit der Wikipedia [3] eine weltberühmte online Enzyklopädie ebenso entstanden wie eine Vielzahl von Spezialwikis, die in der Mediengeschichte ihresgleichen suchen.
- Bewegungsunterstützte Texttechnologien entwickeln sich derzeit als neues Paradigma der Human Computer Interaction. Sie machen die Nutzung klassischer Schnittstellen (wie Maus, Tastatur etc.) obsolet und versprechen die Nutzbarmachung von Gesten und Körperbewegungen als Mittel zur Steuerung von Programmen.
In dem Projekt WikiNect: kinetische Museumswikis soll ein Konzept für die Integration dieser drei Paradigmen entwickelt und in Form eines Prototyps erprobt werden, wobei der Brückenschlag zwischen konzeptuellem Entwurf und praktischer Erprobung durch ein informationswissenschaftliches Modell erfolgen soll. Im Anwendungskontext von Museen ergibt sich die kulturwissenschaftliche Frage, wie die verschiedenen Besucher die jeweilige Ausstellung erlebt haben und bewerten, eine Frage, die mit herkömmlichen Mitteln (Umfrage, Fragebogen) nur allzu aufwändig und kaum interaktiv beantwortet werden kann. In dem Projekt soll die Integration der Methoden 1.-3. exemplarisch durchgeführt werden, um dieses Defizit zu beheben:
- Das spielerische Szenario ermuntert die Besucher zur unmittelbaren Mitarbeit an dem Museumswiki.
- Das Wikiprinzip erlaubt die kooperative Weiterentwicklung des Wikis über den Museumsbesuch hinaus.
- Schließlich stellen bewegungsunterstützte Technologien eine nahezu voraussetzungslose gestische Interaktionsschnittstelle auch für computerunerfahrene Besucher bereit.
Es geht also darum, Museumsbesuchern eine Technologie an die Hand zu geben, mit der sie ihren Museumsbesuch thematisieren, resümieren und bewerten können. Besucher sollen auf diese Weise Trajektorien durch den virtuellen Raum der Ausstellungsobjekte bewegungsgesteuert erzeugen können, die sie überall bewerten und kontextualisieren können. Durch die computergestützte Erfassung dieser Trajektorien entstehen Besuchergeschichten, die im Web nach dem Wiki-Prinzip kollaborativ weiterverarbeitet und angereichert werden können. Die wissenschaftliche Fragestellung des Projekts betrifft konkret die interdisziplinäre Ausgestaltung eines Konzepts, das diese Idee für den Anwendungskontext Museumsbesuch spezifiziert, informationswissenschaftlich modelliert und anhand eines Technologie-Prototypen praktisch erprobt.

To this end, a first implementation of gestural writing based on image schemata is provided (Lakoff in Women, fire, and dangerous things: what categories reveal about the mind. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1987). Gestural writing is defined as a sort of coding in which propositions are only expressed by means of gestures. In this respect, it is shown that image schemata allow for bridging between natural language predicates and gestural manifestations. Further, it is demonstrated that gestural writing primarily focuses on the perceptual level of image descriptions (Hollink et al. in Int J Hum Comput Stud 61(5):601–626, 2004). By exploring the metaphorical potential of image schemata, it is finally illustrated how to extend the expressiveness of gestural writing in order to reach the conceptual level of image descriptions. In this context, the paper paves the way for implementing museum information systems like WikiNect as systems of kinetic hypertext authoring based on full-fledged gestural writing.}, doi = {10.1007/s10209-014-0386-8}, issn = {1615-5289}, keywords = {wikinect}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/art_10.1007_s10209-014-0386-8.pdf}, website = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10209-014-0386-8}, year = 2014 }

Our aim is to develop kinetic technologies as a new paradigm of HCI. They dispense with classical interfaces (e.g., keyboards) in that they build on non-contact modes of communication like gestures or facial expressions as input displays. In this paper, we introduce the notion of gestural writing as a kinetic text-technology that underlies WikiNect to enable museum visitors to communicate their feedback. The basic idea is to explore sequences of gestures that share the semantic expressivity of verbally manifested speech acts. Our task is to identify such gestures that are learnable on-site in the usage scenario of WikiNect.

Further, the onset of the affiliate was observed to occur earlier than gesture initiation. Moreover, we found that gestures do obey certain appropriateness conditions and contribute semantic content ('gestures save words') as well. Gestures also seem to play a functional role wrt dialogue structure: There is evidence that gestures can contribute to the bundle of features making up a turn-taking signal.

Our ultimate goal is to generate fingerprints of such trees to predict the author of the underlying sentences. The chapter makes a first attempt to create such fingerprints for sentence categorization via the detour of text categorization. We show that at text level, aggregated dependency structures actually provide information about authorship. At the same time, we show that this does not hold for topic detection. We evaluate our model using a quarter of a million sentences collected in two corpora: the first is sampled from literary texts, the second from Wikipedia articles. As a second finding of our approach, we show that quantitative models of dependency structure do not yet allow for detecting syntactic alignment in written communication. We conclude that this is mainly due to effects of lexical alignment on syntactic alignment.}, keywords = {Dependency structure, Authorship attribution, Text categorization, Syntactic Alignment}, year = 2018 }

Our team of librarians, computer scientists and biologists produce high-quality text digitizations, develop new text-mining tools and generate detailed ontologies enabling semantic text analysis and semantic search by means of user-specific queries. In a pilot project we focus on German publications on the distribution and ecology of vascular plants, birds, moths and butterflies extending back to the Linnaeus period about 250 years ago. The three organism groups have been selected according to current demands of the relevant research community in Germany. The text corpus defined for this purpose comprises over 400 volumes with more than 100,000 pages to be digitized and will be complemented by journals from other digitization projects, copyright-free and project-related literature. With TextImager (Natural Language Processing & Text Visualization) and TextAnnotator (Discourse Semantic Annotation) we have already extended and launched tools that focus on the text-analytical section of our project. Furthermore, taxonomic and anatomical ontologies elaborated by us for the taxa prioritized by the project’s target group - German institutions and scientists active in biodiversity research - are constantly improved and expanded to maximize scientific data output. Our poster describes the general workflow of our project ranging from literature acquisition via software development, to data availability on the BIOfid web portal (http://biofid.de/), and the implementation into existing platforms which serve to promote global accessibility of biodiversity data.}, issn = {}, pages = {e25876}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25876}, eprint = {https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25876}, journal = {Biodiversity Information Science and Standards} }

Title translates into: Scale-free online-social Lexika by Example of Wiktionary}, abstract = {In English: The paper deals with characteristics of the structural, thematic and participatory dynamics of collaboratively generated lexical networks. This is done by example of Wiktionary. Starting from a network-theoretical model in terms of so-called multi-layer networks, we describe Wiktionary as a scale-free lexicon. Systems of this sort are characterized by the fact that their content-related dynamics is determined by the underlying dynamics of collaborating authors. This happens in a way that social structure imprints on content structure. According to this conception, the unequal distribution of the activities of authors results in a correspondingly unequal distribution of the information units documented within the lexicon. The paper focuses on foundations for describing such systems starting from a parameter space which requires to deal with Wiktionary as an issue in big data analysis. In German: Der Beitrag thematisiert Eigenschaften der strukturellen, thematischen und partizipativen Dynamik kollaborativ erzeugter lexikalischer Netzwerke am Beispiel von Wiktionary. Ausgehend von einem netzwerktheoretischen Modell in Form so genannter Mehrebenennetzwerke wird Wiktionary als ein skalenfreies Lexikon beschrieben. Systeme dieser Art zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass ihre inhaltliche Dynamik durch die zugrundeliegende Kollaborationsdynamik bestimmt wird, und zwar so, dass sich die soziale Struktur der entsprechenden inhaltlichen Struktur aufprägt. Dieser Auffassung gemäß führt die Ungleichverteilung der Aktivitäten von Lexikonproduzenten zu einer analogen Ungleichverteilung der im Lexikon dokumentierten Informationseinheiten. Der Beitrag thematisiert Grundlagen zur Beschreibung solcher Systeme ausgehend von einem Parameterraum, welcher die netzwerkanalytische Betrachtung von Wiktionary als Big-Data-Problem darstellt.}, year = 2017 }

The approach employs both an automatic and a manual annotation of the data on several linguistic layers (including parts of speech, text structure and content). Quantitative features of the textual data are explored that are related to both the students’ (domain-specific knowledge) test results and their level of academic experience. The respective analysis involves statistics of distance correlation, text categorization with respect to text types (questions and distractors) as well as languages (English and German), and network analysis as a means to assess dependencies between features. The results indicate a correlation between correct test results of students and linguistic features of the verbal presentations of tests indicating a language influence on higher education test performance. It is also found that this influence relates to special language. Thus, this integrative modeling approach contributes a test basis for a large-scale analysis of learning data and points to a number of subsequent more detailed research.}, year = 2017 }

It explores lexical, sentential and textual relations to span multi-layer networks (linkification) that allow for browsing syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations among the constituents of its input texts. In this way, relations of text reuse can be explored together with lexical relations within the same literary memory information system. Beyond that, Wikidition contains a module for automatic lexiconisation to extract author specific vocabularies. Based on linkification and lexiconisation, Wikidition does not only allow for traversing input corpora on different (lexical, sentential and textual) levels. Rather, its readers can also study the vocabulary of authors on several levels of resolution including superlemmas, lemmas, syntactic words and wordforms. We exemplify Wikidition by a range of literary texts and evaluate it by means of the apparatus of quantitative network analysis.}, location = {Kraków}, url = {http://dh2016.adho.org/abstracts/250}, year = 2016 }

Verse itself is a repetition in linguistic patterning, text itself is a visualisation of speech. In this sense, line breaks are a visualisation technique based on the repetition of linguistic patterning, which the ReAF maintains. Verse bound text existed prior to the invention of script; the first written literary produce of cultures is usually in verse. In their seminal work, Lord (1960) and Parry (1971) attempted to explain the peculiarities of one such text, the Odyssey, by investigating a living oral tradition in Yugoslavia. They invented the Oral Formulaic Theory and showed how bardic composition in performance works. No single author exists but formula and story lines are passed on from generation to generation; the actual performance is always a unique text and no two performances of the same epic are the same. Their conclusion is that one original text of the Odyssey does not exist, has never existed and cannot even exist. Lord and Parry developed tests for the orality of a given text, where they used underlining of repeated passages or formula. To compile this visualisation in the print age required a lot of manual labour, so they largely limited themselves to shorter passages such as the beginning of the Odyssey. This limitation was criticised later on for instance by Finnegan (1992) who misses a complete statistical analyses. The ReAF is a holistic extension of that late print age visualisation of repetition in verse bound text. It uses HTML and JavaScript in order to generate a very simple preprocessing, platform and browser independent interactive visualisation, where the user can navigate the text to verify or falsify his/her assumptions on text genesis and text category.

While this view allows to set up a sound logic of demonstratives, the direct-referential role assigned to pointing gestures has never been scrutinized thoroughly in semantics or pragmatics. We investigate the semantics and pragmatics of co-verbal pointing from a foundational perspective combining experiments, statistical investigation, computer simulation and theoretical modeling techniques in a novel manner. We evaluate various referential hypotheses with a corpus of object identification games set up in experiments in which body movement tracking techniques have been extensively used to generate precise pointing measurements. Statistical investigation and computer simulations show that especially distal areas in the pointing domain falsify the semantic direct-referential hypotheses concerning pointing gestures. As an alternative, we propose that reference involving pointing rests on a default inference which we specify using the empirical data. These results raise numerous problems for classical semantics–pragmatics interfaces: we argue for pre-semantic pragmatics in order to account for inferential reference in addition to classical post-semantic Gricean pragmatics.}, doi = {10.1016/j.pragma.2014.12.013}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Luecking_Pfeiffer_Rieser_Pointing_and_Reference_Reconsiderd.pdf}, website = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037821661500003X}, year = 2015 }

We start with presenting the so-called TTLab Latin Tagger (TLT) that preprocesses texts of classical and medieval Latin. Its lexical resource in the form of the Frankfurt Latin Lexicon (FLL) is also briefly introduced. As a first test case for showing the expressiveness of these resources, we perform a tripartite classification task of authorship attribution, genre detection and a combination thereof. To this end, we introduce a novel text representation model that explores the core structure (the so-called coreness) of lexical network representations of texts. Our experiment shows the expressiveness of this representation format and mediately of our Latin preprocessor.}, website = {http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-12655-5_5}, year = 2015 }

Its root, the so-called archetype is the supposed original text or urtext from which all subsequent copies are made. Our main contribution is to present one of the first computational approaches to automatic archetype reconstruction and to introduce the first text-based evaluation for automatically produced archetypes.

It becomes more problematic when the source and the target language use different scripts for writing. To handle this problem, transliteration systems are becoming popular as additional modules of the MT systems. In this abstract, we are presenting an English to Bangla name transliteration system that outperforms Google’s transliteration system. The transliteration system is the same as the phrase based statistical machine translation system, but it works on character level rather than on phrase level. The performance of a statistical system is directly correlated with the size of the training corpus. In this work, 2200 names are extracted from the Wikipedia cross lingual links and from Geonames . Also 3694 names are manually transliterated and added to the data. 4716 names are used for training, 590 for tuning and 588 names are used for testing. If we consider only the candidate transliterations, the system gives 64.28% accuracy. The performance increases to more than 90%, if we consider only the top 5 transliterations. To compare with the Google’s English to Bangla transliteration system, a list of 100 names are randomly selected from the test data and translated by both systems. Our system gives 63% accuracy where the Google’s transliteration system does not transliterate a single name correctly. We have found significant improvement in terms of BLUE and TER score when we add the transliteration module with an English to Bangla machine transliteration system.}, owner = {zahurul}, timestamp = {2013.01.22}, website = {https://www.academia.edu/3955036/English_to_Bangla_Name_Transliteration_System}, year = 2013 }

From the linguistic point of view we examine whether languages can be distinguished when looking at network topology of different linguistic networks. We deal with up to 17 languages and ask how far the methods of network theory reveal the peculiarities of single languages. We present and apply network models from different levels of linguistic representation: syntactic, phonological and morphological. The network models presented here allow to integrate various linguistic features at once, which enables a more abstract, holistic view at the particular language. From the point of view of computer science we elaborate the instrumentarium of network theory applying it to a new field. We study the expressiveness of different network features and their ability to characterize language structure. We evaluate the interplay of these features and their goodness in the task of classifying languages genealogically. Among others we compare network features related to: average degree, average geodesic distance, clustering, entropy-based indices, assortativity, centrality, compactness etc. We also propose some new indices that can serve as additional characteristics of networks. The results obtained show that network models succeed in classifying related languages, and allow to study language structure in general. The mathematical analysis of the particular network indices brings new insights into the nature of these indices and their potential when applied to different networks.}, pdf = {https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/download/2538828/2542368}, website = {http://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/publication/2538828}, year = 2012 }

Therefore, an automated measurement index can provide feedback to writers and for those who design texts that are often memorized including songs, holy texts, theatrical plays, and advertising slogans. The potential benefits of this kind of systematic feedback are numerous, the main one being that content creators would be able to employ a standard threshold of memorizability. This study explores multiple ways of implementing and calculating repetitiveness across levels of analysis (such as paragraph-level or sub-word level) genres (such as songs, holy texts, and other genres) and languages, integrating these into the a model for the automatic measurement of repetitiveness. The Avestan language and some of its idiosyncratic features are explored in order to illuminate how the proposed index is applied in the ranking of texts according to their repetitiveness.}, website = {http://www.linse.uni-due.de/jahrgang-36-2012/articles/measuring-repetitiveness-in-texts-a-preliminary-investigation.html}, year = 2012 }

[1] It is named after the ‘Avesta’, i.e., the collection of holy scriptures that form the basis of the religion which was allegedly founded by Zarathushtra, also known as Zoroaster, by about the beginning of the first millennium B.C. Together with Vedic Sanskrit, Avestan represents one of the most archaic witnesses of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages, which makes it especially interesting for historical-comparative linguistics. This is why the texts of the Avesta were among the first objects of electronic corpus building that were undertaken in the framework of Indo-European studies, leading to the establishment of the TITUS database (‘Thesaurus indogermanischer Text- u nd Sprachmaterialien’). [2] Today, the complete Avestan corpus is available, together with elaborate search functions [3] and an extended version of the subcorpus of the so-called ‘Yasna’, which covers a great deal of the attestation of variant readings. [4] Right from the beginning of their computational work concerning the Avesta, the compilers [5] had to cope with the fact that the texts contained in it have been transmitted in a special script written from right to left, which was also used for printing them in the scholarly editions used until today. [6] It goes without saying that there was no way in the middle of the 1980s to encode the Avestan scriptures exactly as they are found in the manuscripts. Instead, we had to rely upon transcriptional devices that were dictated by the restrictions of character encoding as provided by the computer systems used. As the problems we had to face in this respect and the solutions we could apply are typical for the development of computational work on ancient languages, it seems worthwhile to sketch them out here.}, image = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/AltueberlieferteSprachen-300-20.png}, issn = {2190-6858}, pdf = {http://www.jlcl.org/2012_Heft2/H2012-2.pdf}, year = 2012 }

TiTAN series capture the formation and structure of dialog lexica in terms of serialized graph representations. The dynamic update of TiTAN series is driven by the dialog-inherent timing of turn-taking. The model provides a link between neural, connectionist underpinnings of dialog lexica on the one hand and observable symbolic behavior on the other. On the neural side, priming and spreading activation are modeled in terms of TiTAN networking. On the symbolic side, TiTAN series account for cognitive alignment in terms of the structural coupling of the linguistic representations of dialog partners. This structural stance allows us to apply TiTAN in machine learning of data of dialogical alignment. In previous studies, it has been shown that aligned dialogs can be distinguished from non-aligned ones by means of TiTAN -based modeling. Now, we simultaneously apply this model to two types of dialog: task-oriented, experimentally controlled dialogs on the one hand and more spontaneous, direction giving dialogs on the other. We ask whether it is possible to separate aligned dialogs from non-aligned ones in a type-crossing way. Starting from a recent experiment (Mehler, Lücking, \& Menke, 2011a), we show that such a type-crossing classification is indeed possible.

This comparison reveals two specifics of the CG paradigm: Firstly, the emerging categories draw basically on the predefined topology of the learning domain. Secondly, the kind of categories that can be learnt in CGs is bound to context-independent intersective categories. This suggests that the NG and the CG focus on a special aspect of natural language categorization, which disregards context-sensitive categories used in a non-compositional manner.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Evolang2012-AL_AM.pdf}, url = {http://kyoto.evolang.org/}, website = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267858061_WHAT'S_THE_SCOPE_OF_THE_NAMING_GAME_CONSTRAINTS_ON_SEMANTIC_CATEGORIZATION}, year = 2012 }

Although these studies mostly emphasize that their models are abstract, the paradigm categorization domain is preferably that of colors. In this paper, the authors argue that color adjectives are special predicates in both linguistic and metaphysical terms: semantically, they are intersective predicates, metaphysically, color properties can be empirically reduced onto purely physical properties. The restriction of categorization simulations to the color paradigm systematically leads to ignoring two ubiquitous features of natural language predicates, namely relativity and context-dependency. Therefore, the models for simulation models of linguistic categories are not able to capture the formation of categories like perspective-dependent predicates ‘left’ and ‘right’, subsective predicates like ‘small’ and ‘big’, or predicates that make reference to abstract objects like ‘I prefer this kind of situation’. The authors develop a three-dimensional grid of ascending complexity that is partitioned according to the semiotic triangle. They also develop a conceptual model in the form of a decision grid by means of which the complexity level of simulation models of linguistic categorization can be assessed in linguistic terms.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/luecking_mehler_article_IJSSS.pdf}, year = 2011 }

Formulas for approximately measuring text readability have a long tradition. Usually, they exploit surface-oriented indicators like sentence length, word length, word frequency, etc. However, in many cases, this information is not adequate to realistically approximate the cognitive difficulties a person can have to understand a text. Therefore we use deep syntactic and semantic indicators in addition. The syntactic information is represented by a dependency tree, the semantic information by a semantic network. Both representations are automatically generated by a deep syntactico-semantic analysis. A global readability score is determined by applying a nearest neighbor algorithm on 3,000 ratings of 300 test persons. The evaluation showed that the deep syntactic and semantic indicators lead to promising results comparable to the best surface-based indicators. The combination of deep and shallow indicators leads to an improvement over shallow indicators alone. Finally, a graphical user interface was developed which highlights difficult passages, depending on the individual indicator values, and displays a global readability score.}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}, pdf = {https://journals.tdl.org/jodi/index.php/jodi/article/download/1765/1767}, website = {http://journals.tdl.org/jodi/article/view/1765}, year = 2011 }

By means of collaboratively constructed knowledge derived from web-based social networks, inducing both common-sense and domain-specific knowledge as constructed by a multitude of users, we will establish an improvement in performance of selected tasks within different areas of information retrieval. This work connects the concepts and the methods of social networks and the semantic web to support the analysis of a social semantic web that combines human intelligence with machine learning and natural language processing. In this context, social networks, as instances of the social web, are capable in delivering social network data and document collections on a tremendous scale, inducing thematic dynamics that cannot be achieved by traditional expert resources. The question of an automatic conversion, annotation and processing, however, is central to the debate of the benefits of the social semantic web. Which kind of technologies and methods are available, adequate and contribute to the processing of this rapidly rising flood of information and at the same time being capable of using the wealth of information in this large, but more importantly decentralized internet. The present work researches the performance of social semantic-induced categorization by means of different document models. We will shed light on the question, to which level social networks and social ontologies contribute to selected areas within the information retrieval area, such as automatically determining term and text associations, identifying topics, text and web genre categorization, and also the domain of sentiment analysis. We will show in extensive evaluations, comparing the classical apparatus of text categorization -- Vector Space Model, Latent Semantic Analysis and Support Vector Maschine -- that significant improvements can be obtained by considering the collaborative knowledge derived from the social web.}, pdf = {https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/download/2302025/2302028}, website = {http://www.ulliwaltinger.de/on-social-semantics-in-information-retrieval/}, year = 2011 }

To be more specific, we automatically classify scientific documents according to the DDC taxonomy within three levels using a machine learning-based classifier that relies solely on OAI metadata records as the document representation. The results show an asymmetric distribution of documents across the hierarchical structure of the DDC taxonomy and issues of data sparseness. However, the performance of the classifier shows promising results on all three levels of the DDC.}, website = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/x20257512g818377/}, year = 2011 }

The idea behind MSMTs is to provide spanning trees that minimize the costs of edge traversals in a Markovian manner, that is, in terms of the path starting with the root of the tree and ending at the vertex under consideration. In a second part, the chapter generalizes this class of spanning trees in order to allow for damped Markovian effects in the course of spanning. These two effects, (1) the sensitivity to the contexts generated by consecutive edges and (2) the decreasing impact of more antecedent (or 'weakly remembered') vertices, are well known in cognitive modeling [6, 10, 21, 23]. In this sense, the chapter can also be read as an effort to introduce a graph model to support the simulation of cognitive systems. Note that MSMTs are not to be confused with branching Markov chains or Markov trees [20] as we focus on generating spanning trees from given weighted undirected networks.}, website = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/226700676_Minimum_Spanning_Markovian_Trees_Introducing_Context-Sensitivity_into_the_Generation_of_Spanning_Trees}, year = 2010 }

In this article, we develop a framework for modeling interpersonal alignment in terms of the structural similarity of the interlocutors’ dialog lexica. This is done by means of so-called two-layer time-aligned network series, that is, a time-adjusted graph model. The graph model is partitioned into two layers, so that the interlocutors’ lexica are captured as subgraphs of an encompassing dialog graph. Each constituent network of the series is updated utterance-wise. Thus, both the inherent bipartition of dyadic conversations and their gradual development are modeled. The notion of alignment is then operationalized within a quantitative model of structure formation based on the mutual information of the subgraphs that represent the interlocutor’s dialog lexica. By adapting and further developing several models of complex network theory, we show that dialog lexica evolve as a novel class of graphs that have not been considered before in the area of complex (linguistic) networks. Additionally, we show that our framework allows for classifying dialogs according to their alignment status. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach to measuring alignment in communication that explores the similarities of graph-like cognitive representations.}, doi = {10.3390/e12061440}, pdf = {http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/12/6/1440/pdf}, website = {http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/12/6/1440/}, year = 2010 }

To be actually usable in such real-world scenarios, ontologies usually have to encompass a large number of factual statements. However, with increasing size, it becomes very diffcult to ensure their complete correctness. This is particularly true in the case when an ontology is not hand-crafted but constructed (semi)automatically through text mining, for example. As a consequence, when inference mechanisms are applied on these ontologies, even minimal inconsistencies of tentimes lead to serious errors and are hard to trace back and find. This paper addresses this issue and describes a method to validate ontologies using an automatic theorem prover and MultiNet axioms. This logic-based approach allows to detect many inconsistencies, which are diffcult or even impossible to identify through statistical methods or by manual investigation in reasonable time. To make this approach accessible for ontology developers, a graphical user interface is provided that highlights erroneous axioms directly in the ontology for quicker fixing.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ECAI-216.pdf}, year = 2010 }

Die Herausforderung stellt sich auch mit der Frage, welches die neuen Formen und Strukturen sind, die aus dem Wandel der Medien hervorgehen. R{\"u}ckt man diese Frage in den Fokus der {\"U}berlegungen, kommen erstens Entwicklungen im Wechsel von Massenmedien zu neuen, „interaktiven`` Medien in den Blick. Dies betrifft den Wandel von den alten Medien in Form von Einwegkommunikation zu den neuen Medien in Form von Netzkommunikation. Dieser Wandel wurde in zahlreichen Analysen als eine Revolution beschrieben: Im Unterschied zur einseitigen, r{\"u}ckkopplungsarmen Kommunikationsform der Massenmedien sollen neue, computergest{\"u}tzte Formen der Medienkommunikation „interaktiv`` sein, d.h. gesteigerte R{\"u}ckkopplungs- und Eingriffsm{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r die Adressaten und Nutzer bieten. Sozialwissenschaftlich bedeutsam ist dabei die Einsch{\"a}tzung der Qualit{\"a}t und des Umfangs dieser neuen M{\"o}glichkeiten und Leistungen. Denn bislang bedeutete Medienwandel im Kern eine zunehmende Ausdifferenzierung alter und neuer Medien mit je spezifischen Leistungen, d.h. neue Medien ersetzen die {\"a}lteren nicht, sondern sie erg{\"a}nzen und erweitern sie. Allerdings wird im Zuge des aktuellen Medienwandels immer deutlicher, dass die neuen Medien durchaus imstande sind, die Leistungen massenmedialer Verbreitung von Kommunikation zu {\"u}bernehmen.

Whereas pattern application is usually more efficient, tree kernels can be superior when assessed by the F-measure. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid approach to extracting meronymy relations, which is based on both patterns and kernel functions. In a first step, meronymy relation hypotheses are extracted from a text corpus by applying patterns. In a second step these relation hypotheses are validated by using several shallow features and a graph kernel approach. In contrast to other meronymy extraction and validation methods which are based on surface or syntactic representations we use a purely semantic approach based on semantic networks. This involves analyzing each sentence of the Wikipedia corpus by a deep syntactico-semantic parser and converting it into a semantic network. Meronymy relation hypotheses are extracted from the semantic networks by means of an automated theorem prover, which employs a set of logical axioms and patterns in the form of semantic networks. The meronymy candidates are then validated by means of a graph kernel approach based on common walks. The evaluation shows that this method achieves considerably higher accuracy, recall, and F-measure than a method using purely shallow validation.}, website = {http://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/icmla/2010/4300/00/4300a243-abs.html}, year = 2010 }

Computational models of human communication are in need of expressive models of multimodal ensembles. In this paper, we exemplify semiotic alignment by means of empirical examples of the building of multimodal ensembles. We then propose a graph model of multimodal dialogue that is expressive enough to capture multimodal ensembles. In line with this model, we define a novel task in machine learning with the aim of training classifiers that can detect semiotic alignment in dialogue.

This is done by exploring metadata as provided by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) to derive document snippets as minimal document representations. The reason is to reduce the effort of document processing in digital libraries. Further, we perform feature selection and extension by means of social ontologies and related web-based lexical resources. This is done to provide reliable topic-related classifications while circumventing the problem of data sparseness. Finally, we evaluate our model by means of two language-specific corpora. This paper bridges digital libraries on the one hand and computational linguistics on the other. The aim is to make accessible computational linguistic methods to provide thematic classifications in digital libraries based on closed topic models as the DDC. Design/methodology/approach: text classification, text-technology, computational linguistics, computational semantics, social semantics. Findings: We show that SVM-based classifiers perform best by exploring certain selections of OAI document metadata. Research limitations/implications: The findings show that it is necessary to further develop SVM-based DDC-classifiers by using larger training sets possibly for more than two languages in order to get better F-measure values. Practical implications: We can show that DDC-classifications come into reach which primarily explore OAI metadata. Originality/value: We provide algorithmic and formal-mathematical information how to build DDC-classifiers for digital libraries.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mehler_waltinger_2009_b.pdf}, website = {http://biecoll.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/frontdoor.php?source_opus=5001&la=de}, year = 2009 }

Our approach utilizes a social ontology to create an alignment of documents within a social network. Comprised category information is used to compute a topic generalization. We propose a feature-frequency-based method for measuring semantic relatedness which is needed in order to reduce the number of document features for the task of topic labelling. This method is evaluated against multiple human judgement experiments comprising two languages and three different resources. Overall the results show that social ontologies provide a rich source of terminological knowledge. The performance of the semantic relatedness measure with correlation values of up to .77 are quite promising. Results on the topic labelling experiment show, with an accuracy of up to .79, that our approach can be a valuable method for various NLP applications.}, website = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5284920&abstractAccess=no&userType=inst}, year = 2009 }

Typical indicators are Average sentence length, Average number of syllables per word, etc. Usually the parameters of the linear combination are determined by a linear OLS (ordinary least square estimation) minimizing the sum of the squared residuals in comparison with human ratings for a given set of texts. The usage of OLS leads to several drawbacks. First, the parameters are not constraint in any way and are therefore not intuitive and difficult to interpret. Second, if the number of parameters become large, the effect of overfitting easily occurs. Finally, OLS is quite sensitive to outliers. Therefore, an alternative method is presented which avoids these drawbacks and is based on robust regression.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mldm_2009_brueck_142.pdf}, year = 2009 }

By means of this framework we reliably measure the similarity of document, agent, and word networks by solely regarding their topology. In doing so, the article departs from classical approaches to complex network theory which focuses on topological characteristics in order to check their small world property. This does not only include characteristics that have been studied in complex network theory, but also some of those which were invented in social network analysis and hypertext theory. We show that network classifications come into reach which go beyond the hypertext structures traditionally analyzed in web mining. The reason is that we focus on networks as a whole as units to be classified—above the level of websites and their constitutive pages. As a consequence, we bridge classical approaches to text and web mining on the one hand and complex network theory on the other hand. Last but not least, this approach also provides a framework for quantifying the linguistic notion of intertextuality.}, doi = {10.1080/08839510802164085}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/mehler_2008_Structural_Similarities_of_Complex_Networks.pdf}, website = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/200772675_Structural_similarities_of_complex_networks_A_computational_model_by_example_of_wiki_graphs}, year = 2008 }

Detecting and fixing errors in such grammars is therefore a highly tedious task. In this work we present a data mining algorithm which deduces incorrect grammar rules by abductive reasoning out of positive and negative training examples. More specifcally, the constituency trees belonging to successful generation processes and the incomplete trees of failed ones are analyzed. From this a quality score is derived for each grammar rule by analyzing the occurrences of the rules in the trees and by spotting the exact error locations in the incomplete trees. In prior work on automatic error detection v.d.Brück et al. [5] proposed a static error detection algorithm for generation grammars. The approach of Cussens et al. creates missing grammar rules for parsing using abduction [1].

Established approaches have to be enhanced and new methods be developed in order to tackle the problem of finding and organising relevant information. It has often been motivated that semantic classifications of input documents help solving this task. But while approaches of supervised text categorisation perform quite well on genres found in written text, newly evolved genres on the web are much more demanding. In order to successfully develop approaches to web mining, respective corpora are needed. However, the composition of genre- or domain-specific web corpora is still an unsolved problem. It is time consuming to build large corpora of good quality because web pages typically lack reliable meta information. Wikipedia along with similar approaches of collaborative text production offers a way out of this dilemma. We examine how social tagging, as supported by the MediaWiki software, can be utilised as a source of corpus building. Further, we describe a representation format for social ontologies and present the Wikipedia Category Explorer, a tool which supports categorical views to browse through the Wikipedia and to construct domain specific corpora for machine learning.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/webist_2007-gleim_mehler_dehmer_pustylnikov.pdf}, year = 2007 }

Den Ausgangspunkt der {\"U}berlegungen zur Konnotation des Textes bildet die Auffassung, wonach Wort- und Textbedeutungskonstitution Ergebnis eines zirkul{\"a}ren Prozesses sind, der für die Emergenz einer Hierarchie ineinander geschachtelter Spracheinheiten verantwortlich zeichnet. Der Proze{\ss} der Zeichenartikulation erfolgt entlang dieser Ebenen und erzeugt durch Verbindung von (konnotativer) Inhalts- und Ausdrucksseite auf Textebene das Textzeichen. Im Gegensatz zu einer strikten Interpretation des Fregeschen Kompositionalit{\"a}tsprinzips, derzufolge die Bedeutungen sprachlicher Einheiten als fixierte, kontextfreie Grö{\ss}en vorauszusetzen sind, behandelt der vorliegende Ansatz bereits die lexikalische Bedeutung als Grö{\ss}e, die in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von ihrem Kontext variieren kann. Aus semiotischer Perspektive ist es vor allem der Gestaltcharakter, welcher die konnotative Textbedeutung einer Anwendung des FregePrinzips entzieht. Anders ausgedrückt: Die konnotative Bedeutung eines Textes ist keineswegs in eine Struktur 'atomarer' Repr{\"a}sentationen zerlegbar. Die hierarchische Organisation von Texten erweist sich insofern als komplex, als ihre Bedeutungen aus einem zirkul{\"a}ren Proze{\ss} resultieren, der best{\"a}tigend und/oder ver{\"a}ndernd auf die Bedeutungen der Textkonstituenten einwirkt. Diese Zirkularit{\"a}t bedingt, da{\ss} Texte nicht nur als Orte der Manifestation von Wortbedeutungsstrukturen anzusehen sind, sondern zugleich als Ausgangspunkte für die Modifikation und Emergenz solcher Strukturen dienen. Im folgenden wird unter Rekurs auf den Kopenhagener Strukturalismus ein Modell der konnotativen Bedeutung von Texten entwickelt, das sich unter anderem an dem glossematischen Begriff der Konstante orientiert. Die Formalisierung des Modells erfolgt mit Hilfe des Konzeptes der unscharfen Menge. Zu diesem Zweck werden die unscharfen Verwendungsregularit{\"a}ten von Wörtern auf der Basis eines zweistufigen Verfahrens analysiert, welches die syntagmatischen und paradigmatischen Regularit{\"a}ten des Wortgebrauches berücksichtigt. Die Rolle der Satzebene innerhalb des Prozesses der konnotativen Textbedeutungskonstitution wird angedeutet.

Indicator values are numeric properties derived from linguistic units in the text, such as the distance between a verb and its complements or the number of possible antecedents for a pronoun. Indicators are normalized by means of a derivation of the Fermi function with two parameters. DeLite requires individual parameters for this normalization function and a weight for each indicator to compute the global readability score. Several experiments to determine these parameters were conducted, using different machine learning approaches. The training data consists of more than 300 user ratings of texts from the municipality domain. The weights for the indicators are learned using two approaches: i) robust regression with linear optimization and ii) an approximative iterative linear regression algorithm. For evaluation, the computed readability scores are compared to user ratings. The evaluation showed that iterative linear regression yields a smaller square error than robust regression although this method is only approximative. Both methods yield results outperforming a first manual setting, and for both methods, basically the same set of non-zero weights remain.}, website = {http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.69.6079}, year = 2007 }

The first part of the study focused on a comparison of the swallow morphology of dysphagic as opposed to healthy subjects� deglutition in terms of structure properties of the pharyngeal phase of deglutition. We obtained the following results. The duration of deglutition apnea is significantly higher in the older group than in the younger one. Comparing the younger group and the dysphagic group we found significant differences in duration of deglutition apnea, onset time, and number of gulps. Just one parameter, number of gulps, distinguishes significantly between the older and the dysphagic groups. The second part of the study aimed at evaluating the reliability of CA in detecting dysphagia measured as the concordance and the correctness of CA experts in classifying swallowing sounds. The interrater reliability coefficient AC1 resulted in a value of 0.46, which is to be interpreted as fair agreement. Furthermore, we found that comparison with radiologically defined aspiration/penetration for the group of experts (speech and language therapists) yielded 70% specificity and 94% sensitivity.

Spelling checker algorithms using edit distance methods tend to produce a large number of possibilities for misspelled words. We propose an alternative approach to checking the spelling of Bangla text that uses a finite state automaton (FSA) to probabilistically create the suggestion list for a misspelled word. FSA has proven to be an effective method for problems requiring probabilistic solution and high error tolerance. We start by using a finite state representation for all the words in the Bangla dictionary; the algorithm then uses the state tables to test a string, and in case of an erroneous string, try to find all possible solutions by attempting singular and multi - step transitions to consume one or more characters and using the su bsequent characters as look - ahead; and finally, we use backtracking to add each possible solution to the suggestion list. The use of finite state representation for the word implies that the algorithm is much more efficient in the case of non - inflected for ms; in case of nouns, it is even more significant as Bangla nouns are heavily used in the non - inflected form. In terms of error detection and correction, the algorithm uses the statistics of Bangla error pattern and thus produces a small number of signific ant suggestions. One notable limitation is the inability to handle transposition errors as a single edit distance errors. This is not as significant as it may seem since the number of transposition errors are not as common as other errors in Bangla. This p aper presents the structure and the algorithm to implement a Practical Bangla spell - checker, and discusses the results obtained from the prototype implementation.}, owner = {zahurul}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Error-tolerant_Finite-state_Recognizer_and_String_Pattern_Similarity_Based_Spell-Checker_for_Bengali.pdf}, timestamp = {2011.08.02}, year = 2007 }

That is, we explore patterns of text structure as determinants of class membership. Our starting point are tree-like text representations which induce feature vectors and tree kernels. These kernels are utilized in supervised learning based on cross-validation as a method of model selection (Hastie et al., 2001) by example of a corpus of press communication. For a subset of categories we show that classification can be performed very well by structural differentia only.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mehler_geibel_pustylnikov_2007.pdf}, website = {http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.154.604}, year = 2007 }

The variant includes effects of context-sensitive interpretation as well as processes of meaning constitution and change in the sense of usage-based semantics. Its starting point is a combination of semantic space modeling and text structure analysis. The principle is implemented by means of a hierarchical constraint satisfaction process which utilizes the notion of hierarchical text structure superimposed by graph-inducing coherence relations. The major contribution of the chapter is a conceptualization and formalization of the principle of compositionality in terms of semantic spaces which tackles some well known deficits of existing approaches. In particular this relates to the missing linguistic interpretability of statistical meaning representations. }, website = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/x214w527g42x0116/}, year = 2007 }

The paper argues that this relation is a prevalent characteristic which interferes any effort of applying the classical apparatus of categorization to web genres.

Other methods measures the similarity in the framework of the well known vector space model. In contrast to these we present a new approach to measuring the structural similarity of web-based documents represented by so called generalized trees which are more general than DOM-Trees which represent only directed rooted trees. We will design a new similarity measure for graphs representing web-based hypertext structures. Our similarity measure is mainly based on a novel representation of a graph as strings of linear integers, whose components represent structural properties of the graph. The similarity of two graphs is then defined as the optimal alignment of the underlying property strings. In this paper we apply the well known technique of sequence alignments to solve a novel and challenging problem: Measuring the structural similarity of generalized trees. More precisely, we first transform our graphs considered as high dimensional objects in linear structures. Then we derive similarity values from the alignments of the property strings in order to measure the structural similarity of generalized trees. Hence, we transform a graph similarity problem to a string similarity problem. We demonstrate that our similarity measure captures important structural information by applying it to two different test sets consisting of graphs representing web-based documents.}, pdf = {http://waset.org/publications/15928/measuring-the-structural-similarity-of-web-based-documents-a-novel-approach}, website = {http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/24839145/measuring-structural-similarity-web-based-documents-novel-approach}, year = 2006 }

The aim is to utilize categories of web sites and pages as an additional retrieval criterion. In this context, the bag-of-words model has been utilized just as HTML tags and link structures. In spite of promising results this adaptation stays in the framework of IR specific models since it neglects the content-based structuring inherent to hypertext units. This paper approaches hypertext modelling from the perspective of graph-theory. It presents an XML-based format for representing websites as hypergraphs. These hypergraphs are used to shed light on the relation of hypertext structure types and their web-based instances. We place emphasis on two characteristics of this relation: In terms of realizational ambiguity we speak of functional equivalents to the manifestation of the same structure type. In terms of polymorphism we speak of a single web unit which manifests different structure types. It is shown that polymorphism is a prevalent characteristic of web-based units. This is done by means of a categorization experiment which analyses a corpus of hypergraphs representing the structure and content of pages of conference websites. On this background we plead for a revision of text representation models by means of hypergraphs which are sensitive to the manifold structuring of web documents.}, website = {http://rd.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/11553762_14}, year = 2006 }

In this paper we present a similarity measure for graphs representing web-based hypertext structures. Our similarity measure is mainly based on a novel representation of a graph as linear integer strings, whose components represent structural properties of the graph. The similarity of two graphs is then defined as the optimal alignment of the underlying property strings. In this paper we apply the well known technique of sequence alignments for solving a novel and challenging problem: Measuring the structural similarity of generalized trees. In other words: We first transform our graphs considered as high dimensional objects in linear structures. Then we derive similarity values from the alignments of the property strings in order to measure the structural similarity of generalized trees. Hence, we transform a graph similarity problem to a string similarity problem for developing a efficient graph similarity measure. We demonstrate that our similarity measure captures important structural information by applying it to two different test sets consisting of graphs representing web-based document structures.}, pdf = {http://waset.org/publications/15299/application-of-a-similarity-measure-for-graphs-to-web-based-document-structures}, website = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/238687277_Application_of_a_Similarity_Measure_for_Graphs_to_Web-based_Document_Structures}, year = 2005 }

More specifically, genre or register specific corpora are needed which allow studying variations in language use. Along with the incredible growth of the internet, the web became an important source of linguistic data. Of course, web corpora face the same problem of acquiring genre specific corpora. Amongst other things, web mining is a framework of methods for automatically assigning category labels to web units and thus may be seen as a solution to this corpus acquisition problem as far as genre categories are applied. The paper argues that this approach is faced with the problem of a many-to-many relation between expression units on the one hand and content or function units on the other hand. A quantitative study is performed which supports the argumentation that functions of web-based communication are very often concentrated on single web pages and thus interfere any effort of directly applying the classical apparatus of categorization on web page level. The paper outlines a two-level algorithm as an alternative approach to category assignment which is sensitive to genre specific structures and thus may be used to tackle the problem of acquiring genre specific corpora.}, issn = {1747-9398}, pdf = {http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/Documents/college-artslaw/corpus/conference-archives/2005-journal/Thewebasacorpus/AlexanderMehlerandRuedigerGleimCorpusLinguistics2005.pdf}, year = 2005 }

[Bibtex]@Article{Mehler:Wolff:2005:b, Author = {Mehler, Alexander and Wolff, Christian}, Title = {Einleitung: Perspektiven und Positionen des Text Mining}, Journal = {Journal for Language Technology and Computational Linguistics (JLCL)}, Volume = {20}, Number = {1}, Pages = {1-18}, abstract = {Beitr{\"a}ge zum Thema Text Mining beginnen vielfach mit dem Hinweis auf die enorme Zunahme online verfügbarer Dokumente, ob nun im Internet oder in Intranets (Losiewicz et al. 2000; Merkl 2000; Feldman 2001; Mehler 2001; Joachims \& Leopold 2002). Der hiermit einhergehenden „Informationsflut“ wird das Ungenügen des Information Retrieval (IR) bzw. seiner g{\"a}ngigen Verfahren der Informationsaufbereitung und Informationserschlie{\ss}ung gegenübergestellt. Es wird bem{\"a}ngelt, dass sich das IR weitgehend darin erschöpft, Teilmengen von Textkollektionen auf Suchanfragen hin aufzufinden und in der Regel blo{\ss} listenförmig anzuordnen. Das auf diese Weise dargestellte Spannungsverh{\"a}ltnis von Informationsexplosion und Defiziten bestehender IR-Verfahren bildet den Hintergrund für die Entwicklung von Verfahren zur automatischen Verarbeitung textueller Einheiten, die sich st{\"a}rker an den Anforderungen von Informationssuchenden orientieren. Anders ausgedrückt: Mit der Einführung der Neuen Medien w{\"a}chst die Bedeutung digitalisierter Dokumente als Prim{\"a}rmedium für die Verarbeitung, Verbreitung und Verwaltung von Information in öffentlichen und betrieblichen Organisationen. Dabei steht wegen der Menge zu verarbeitender Einheiten die Alternative einer intellektuellen Dokumenterschlie{\ss}ung nicht zur Verfügung. Andererseits wachsen die Anforderung an eine automatische Textanalyse, der das klassische IR nicht gerecht wird. Der Mehrzahl der hiervon betroffenen textuellen Einheiten fehlt die explizite Strukturiertheit formaler Datenstrukturen. Vielmehr weisen sie je nach Text- bzw. Dokumenttyp ganz unterschiedliche Strukturierungsgrade auf. Dabei korreliert die Flexibilit{\"a}t der Organisationsziele negativ mit dem Grad an explizierter Strukturiertheit und positiv mit der Anzahl jener Texte und Texttypen (E-Mails, Memos, Expertisen, technische Dokumentationen etc.), die im Zuge ihrer Realisierung produziert bzw. rezipiert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund entsteht ein Bedarf an Texttechnologien, die ihren Benutzern nicht nur „intelligente“ Schnittstellen zur Textrezeption anbieten, sondern zugleich auf inhaltsorientierte Textanalysen zielen, um auf diese Weise aufgabenrelevante Daten explorieren und kontextsensitiv aufbereiten zu helfen. Das Text Mining ist mit dem Versprechen verbunden, eine solche Technologie darzustellen bzw. sich als solche zu entwickeln. Dieser einheitlichen Problembeschreibung stehen konkurrierende Textmining-Spezifikationen gegenüber, was bereits die Vielfalt der Namensgebungen verdeutlicht. So finden sich neben der Bezeichnung Text Mining (Joachims \& Leopold 2002; Tan 1999) die Alternativen • Text Data Mining (Hearst 1999b; Merkl 2000), • Textual Data Mining (Losiewicz et al. 2000), • Text Knowledge Engineering (Hahn \& Schnattinger 1998), Knowledge Discovery in Texts (Kodratoff 1999) oder Knowledge Discovery in Textual Databases (Feldman \& Dagan 1995). Dabei l{\"a}sst bereits die Namensgebung erkennen, dass es sich um Analogiebildungen zu dem (nur unwesentlich {\"a}lteren) Forschungsgebiet des Data Mining (DM; als Bestandteil des Knowledge Discovery in Databases – KDD) handelt. Diese Namensvielfalt findet ihre Entsprechung in widerstreitenden Aufgabenzuweisungen. So setzt beispielsweise Sebastiani (2002) Informationsextraktion und Text Mining weitgehend gleich, wobei er eine Schnittmenge zwischen Text Mining und Textkategorisierung ausmacht (siehe auch Dörre et al. 1999). Demgegenüber betrachten Kosala \& Blockeel (2000) Informationsextraktion und Textkategorisierung lediglich als Teilbereiche des ihrer Ansicht nach umfassenderen Text Mining, w{\"a}hrend Hearst (1999a) im Gegensatz hierzu Informationsextraktion und Textkategorisierung explizit aus dem Bereich des explorativen Text Mining ausschlie{\ss}t.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mehler_wolff_2005_b.pdf}, website = {http://epub.uni-regensburg.de/6844/}, year = 2005 }

The situation is further complicated by the fact that most undergraduates have never implemented a large enough software package that is needed for a working compiler, and to do so in such a short time span is a challenge indeed. This necessitates changes in the way we teach compilers, and specifically in ways we set up the project for the Compiler Design course at the undergraduate level. We describe a template based method for teaching compiler design and implementation to the undergraduates, where the students fill in the blanks in a set of templates for each phase of the compiler, starting from the lexical scanner to the code generator. Compilers for new languages can be implemented by modifying only the parts necessary to implement the syntax and the semantics of the language, leaving much of the remaining environment as is. The students not only learn how to design the various phases of the compiler, but also learn the software design and engineering techniques for implementing large software systems. In this paper, we describe a compiler teaching methodology that implements a full working compiler for an imperative C-like programming language with backend code generators for MIPS, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Microsoft’s .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR).}, owner = {zahurul}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Teaching_Compiler_Development_to_Undergraduates_using_a_Template_Based_Approach.pdf}, timestamp = {2011.08.02}, website = {http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.173.1323}, year = 2005 }

Dieser Gegenstand verbindet den Bereich des klassischen Information Retrievals (IR) mit einem Anwendungsgebiet, das in der Wissenschaftskommunikation unter dem Stichwort der digitalen Bibliothek unter Nutzbarmachung des Hyperlink-basierten Browsings firmiert. Ein Beispiel hierfür bildet die digitale Bibliothek CiteSeer (Lawrence et al. 1999), welche das Boolesche Retrieval dadurch erweitert, dass ausgehend von Treffern einer Suche jene Dokumente per Link angesteuert werden können, welche die aufgefundenen Dokumente zitieren oder von diesen zitiert werden. CiteSeer ist also ein System, welches das Schlagwort-basierte Querying im Rahmen des klassischen IRs mit dem Hypertext-basierten Browsing von Zitaten verknüpft, und zwar zu dem Zweck, die Suche wissenschaftlicher Dokumente zu erleichtern. Darüber hinaus verwendet es die unter dem Stichwort des Vektorraummodells bekannt gewordene Technologie für den wortbasierten Vergleich von Texten. Der Beitrag setzt an dieser Stelle an. Er argumentiert, dass Verfahren bereitstehen, welche die Anforderung nach inhaltsorientiertem Retrieval mit dem inhaltsorientierten Browsing verbinden, mit der Forderung also, dass Hyperlinks, die E-Texte als digitalisierte Versionen von (wissenschaftlichen) Dokumenten verknüpfen (Storrer 2002), Inhalts- und nicht nur Zitat-basiert sind.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mehler_2004_b.pdf}, year = 2004 }

This observation contradicts the literature on hypertext authoring, where Information Retrieval techniques prevail, which disregard any linguistic and context-theoretical underpinning. As a consequence, resulting hypertexts do not manifest those schematic structures, which are constitutive for the emergence of text types and the context-mediated understanding of their instances, i.e. natural language texts. This paper utilizes Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and its context model as a theoretical basis of hypertext authoring. So called Systemic Functional Hypertexts (SFHT) are proposed, which refer to a stratified context layer as the proper source of text linkage. The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, hypertexts are reconstructed from a linguistic point of view as a kind of supersign, whose constituents are natural language texts and whose structuring is due to intra- and intertextual coherence relations and their context-sensitive interpretation. Second, the paper prepares a formal notion of SFHTs as a first step towards operationalization of fundamental text linguistic concepts. On this background, SFHTs serve to overcome the theoretical poverty of many approaches to link generation.}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mehler_components_2002.pdf}, website = {http://www.jucs.org/jucs_8_10/components_of_a_model}, year = 2002 }

They prove to be efficient in divergent areas, as information retrieval (Dumais 1995), computational psychology (Landauer, Dumais 1997), and computational linguistics (Rieger 1995; Mehler 1998). In order to group semantically similar texts, cluster analysis is used. A central problem of this method relates to the difficulty to name clusters, whereas lists neglect the polyhierarchical structure of semantic spaces. This paper introduces the concept of cohesion tree as an alternative tool for exploring similarity relations of texts represented in high dimensional spaces. Cohesion trees allow the perspective evaluation of numerically represented text similarities. They depart from minimal spanning trees (MST) by context-sensitively optimizing path costs. This central property underlies the linguistic interpretation of cohesion trees: instead of manifesting context-free associations, they model context priming effects.}, website = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/x484814744877078/}, year = 2002 }

Making relevant documents available depending on varying tasks in different contexts is of primary importance for any efficient task completion. Implementing this demand requires the content based processing of texts, which enables to reconstruct or, if necessary, to explore the relationship of task, context and document. Text mining is a technology that is suitable for solving problems of this kind. In the following, semiotic aspects of text mining are investigated. Based on the primary object of text mining - natural language lexis - the specific complexity of this class of signs is outlined and requirements for the implementation of text mining procedures are derived. This is done with reference to text linkage introduced as a special task in text mining. Text linkage refers to the exploration of implicit, content based relations of texts (and their annotation as typed links in corpora possibly organised as hypertexts). In this context, the term systemic functional hypertext is introduced, which distinguishes genre and register layers for the management of links in a poly-level hypertext system}, pdf = {https://www.texttechnologylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Mehler_AJIS-2001.pdf}, website = {http://journal.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/article/view/249/220}, year = 2001 }
