Advances on psycho-linguistics have evidenced that the ways in which people use words could act as a reliable source to assess a wide array of behaviours. Language use acts as an indicator of the individuals’ current mental state, personality and even personal values. In this thesis, we focus on language analysis to study two closely related processes which encompass integral components of...

The vision of Machine Reading is to automatically understand written text and transform the contained information into machine-readable representations. This thesis approaches this challenge in particular in the context of commercial organizations. Here, an abundance of domain-specific knowledge is frequently stored in unstructured text resources. Existing methods often fail in this scenario,...

Community structure discovery can help us better understand the capabilities and functions of the network. However, many existing methods have failed to identify nodes in communities accurately. In this paper, we proposed a heuristic community detection method based on node similarities that are computed by assigning different edge weight influence factors based on different neighbor types of...
