Neural Machine Reading for Domain-Specific Text Resources

Arnold, Sebastian ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

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,...

Parallel heuristic community detection method based on node similarity

Zhou, Qiang ; Cai, Shi-Min ; Zhang, Yi-Cheng

In: IEEE Access, 2019, vol. 7, p. 184145–184159

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...
