On Deriving Indicators from Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents and explores the idea of deriving numerical indicators from texts, that is, converting text data to numerical data that has predictive or diagnostic value. One application of such a general capability is to the provisional identification of networks, or rather, of associations within networks. Conversely, given a network structure among entities that are associated with various texts, the network structure can itself contribute usefully to construction of indicators derived from texts. The focus of the paper is on basic concepts and methods for deriving indicators from texts. Much research remains to be done.

متن کاملDeriving semantic annotations of an audiovisual program from contextual texts
The aim of this paper is to explore whether indexing terms for an audiovisual program can be derived from contextual texts automatically. For this we apply natural-language processing techniques to contextual texts of two Dutch TV-programs. We use a Dutch domain thesaurus to derive and rank the metadata. We evaluate the results by comparing them to human made descriptions.
