Each inflected form is connected to its corresponding headword, whic...

Detecting influenza outbreaks by analyzing Twitter messages
cs.IR
We analyze over 500 million Twitter messages from an eight month period and find that tracking a small number of flu-related keywords allows us to forecast future influenza rates with high accuracy, obtaining a 95% correlation with national health statistics. We then analyze the robustness of this approach to spurious ...

Space and the Synchronic A-Ram
cs.CL
Space is a circuit oriented, spatial programming language designed to exploit the massive parallelism available in a novel formal model of computation called the Synchronic A-Ram, and physically related FPGA and reconfigurable architectures. Space expresses variable grained MIMD parallelism, is modular, strictly typed,...

Lexical Co-occurrence, Statistical Significance, and Word Association
cs.CL
Lexical co-occurrence is an important cue for detecting word associations. We present a theoretical framework for discovering statistically significant lexical co-occurrences from a given corpus. In contrast with the prevalent practice of giving weightage to unigram frequencies, we focus only on the documents containin...

Genetic Optimization of Keywords Subset in the Classification Analysis of Texts Authorship
cs.IR
The genetic selection of keywords set, the text frequencies of which are considered as attributes in text classification analysis, has been analyzed. The genetic optimization was performed on a set of words, which is the fraction of the frequency dictionary with given frequency limits. The frequency dictionary was form...

Summarizing Reviews with Variable-length Syntactic Patterns and Topic Models
cs.IR
We present a novel summarization framework for reviews of products and services by selecting informative and concise text segments from the reviews. Our method consists of two major steps. First, we identify five frequently occurring variable-length syntactic patterns and use them to extract candidate segments. Then we...

Opinion Mining and Analysis: A survey
cs.CL
The current research is focusing on the area of Opinion Mining also called as sentiment analysis due to sheer volume of opinion rich web resources such as discussion forums, review sites and blogs are available in digital form. One important problem in sentiment analysis of product reviews is to produce summary of opin...

Says who? Automatic Text-Based Content Analysis of Television News
cs.CL
We perform an automatic analysis of television news programs, based on the closed captions that accompany them. Specifically, we collect all the news broadcasted in over 140 television channels in the US during a period of six months. We start by segmenting, processing, and annotating the closed captions automatically....

Graphical law beneath each written natural language
cs.CL
We study twenty four written natural languages. We draw in the log scale, number of words starting with a letter vs rank of the letter, both normalised. We find that all the graphs are of the similar type. The graphs are tantalisingly closer to the curves of reduced magnetisation vs reduced temperature for magnetic mat...

A Novel Architecture For Question Classification Based Indexing Scheme For Efficient Question Answering
cs.IR
Question answering system can be seen as the next step in information retrieval, allowing users to pose question in natural language and receive compact answers. For the Question answering system to be successful, research has shown that the correct classification of question with respect to the expected answer type is...

Extracting Connected Concepts from Biomedical Texts using Fog Index
cs.CL
In this paper, we establish Fog Index (FI) as a text filter to locate the sentences in texts that contain connected biomedical concepts of interest. To do so, we have used 24 random papers each containing four pairs of connected concepts. For each pair, we categorize sentences based on whether they contain both, any or...

Extracting Information-rich Part of Texts using Text Denoising
cs.IR
The aim of this paper is to report on a novel text reduction technique, called Text Denoising, that highlights information-rich content when processing a large volume of text data, especially from the biomedical domain. The core feature of the technique, the text readability index, embodies the hypothesis that complex ...

Cross-Recurrence Quantification Analysis of Categorical and Continuous Time Series: an R package
cs.CL
This paper describes the R package crqa to perform cross-recurrence quantification analysis of two time series of either a categorical or continuous nature. Streams of behavioral information, from eye movements to linguistic elements, unfold over time. When two people interact, such as in conversation, they often adapt...

Treating clitics with minimalist grammars
cs.CL
We propose an extension of Stabler's version of clitics treatment for a wider coverage of the French language. For this, we present the lexical entries needed in the lexicon. Then, we show the recognition of complex syntactic phenomena as (left and right) dislo- cation, clitic climbing over modal and extraction from de...
