We propose a weakly-supervised approach for extracting class attributes from structured text available within Web documents. The overall precision of the extracted attributes is a...
Today, a number of algorithms exist for constructing tag hierarchies from social tagging data. While these algorithms were designed with ontological goals in mind, we know very li...
The problem of efficiently finding the best match for a query in a given set with respect to the Euclidean distance or the cosine similarity has been extensively studied. However...
In this paper, we describe a methodology to estimate the geographic coverage of the web without the need for secondary knowledge or complex geo-tagging. This is achieved by random...
