Exploiting time-based synonyms in searching document archives
JCDL '10: Proceedings of the 10th annual joint conference on Digital librariesQuery expansion of named entities can be employed in order to increase the retrieval effectiveness. A peculiarity of named entities compared to other vocabulary terms is that they are very dynamic in appearance, and synonym relationships between terms ...
Mining the Web for Synonyms: PMI-IR versus LSA on TOEFL
EMCL '01: Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Machine LearningThis paper presents a simple unsupervised learning algorithm for recognizing synonyms, based on statistical data acquired by querying a Web search engine. The algorithm, called PMI-IR, uses Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) and Information Retrieval (...
Retinotopy and spatial phase in topographic maps
AbstractSelf-organizing maps have been successfully applied as models of map formation in the mammalian primary visual cortex. We study a map of high-dimensional stimuli such as patches of filtered natural images onto a cortical layer of ...
