Automatic Indexing from a Thesaurus Using Bayesian Networks: Application to the Classification of Parliamentary Initiatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a method which, given a document to be classified, automatically generates an ordered set of appropriate descriptors extracted from a thesaurus. The method creates a Bayesian network to model the thesaurus and uses probabilistic inference to select the set of descriptors having high posterior probability of being relevant given the available evidence (the document to be classified). We apply the method to the classification of parliamentary initiatives in the regional Parliament of Andalucía at Spain from the Eurovoc thesaurus.

A Probabilistic Model for COPD Diagnosis and Phenotyping Using Bayesian Networks
Introduction: This research was meant to provide a model for COPD diagnosis and to classify the cases into phenotypes; General COPD, Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema, and the Asthmatic COPD using a Bayesian Network (BN). Methods: The model was constructed through developing the Bayesian Network structure and instantiating the parameters for each of the variables. In order to validate the achiev...

متن کاملA Surface Water Evaporation Estimation Model Using Bayesian Belief Networks with an Application to the Persian Gulf
Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

متن کاملUsing Bayesian Network for Conceptual Indexing: Application to Medical Document Indexing with UMLS Metathesaurus
We describe a conceptual indexing method using UMLS meta-thesaurus. Concepts are automatically mapped from text using MetaMap software tool for English, and a simplified mapping tool for other languages. The concepts and their semantic links given by UMLS are used to build a Bayesien network. Retrieval process is then an inference process of probabilities or weights. Different types of relation...
