Semantic Characterization of Real World Events

چکیده
Reducing the latency of information delivery in an event driven world has always been a challenge. It is often necessary to completely capture the attributes of events and relationships between them, so that the process of retrieval of event related information is efficient. In this paper, we discuss a formal system for representing and analyzing real world events to address these issues. The event representation discussed in this paper accounts for the important event attributes, namely, time, space, and label. We introduce the notion of sequence templates that not only provides event related semantics but also help in semantically analyzing user queries. Finally, we discuss the design for our Query-Event Analysis System, which is an integrated system to (a) identify a best sequence template given a user query; (b) select events based on the best sequence template; and (c) determine content related to the selected events for delivering to users.

Semantic Scan: Detecting Subtle, Spatially Localized Events in Text Streams
Early detection and precise characterization of emerging topics in text streams can be highly useful in applications such as timely and targeted public health interventions and discovering evolving regional business trends. Many methods have been proposed for detecting emerging events in text streams using topic modeling. However, these methods have numerous shortcomings that make them unsuitab...
متن کاملVector Space Semantic Models Predict Subjective Probability Judgments for Real-World Events
We examine how people judge the probabilities of real-world events, such as natural disasters in different countries. We find that the associations between the words and phrases that constitute these events, as assessed by vector space semantic models, strongly correlate with the probabilities assigned to these events by participants. Thus, for example, the semantic proximity of “earthquake” an...
متن کاملModal Event Calculi with Preconditions
Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, allows the derivation of the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) over which properties initiated or terminated by those events hold. The limited expressive power of EC is notably augmented by permitting events to initiate or terminate a property only if a given set of preconditions hol...
متن کاملTwo Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Semantic Integration during the Comprehension of Visual Real-world Events
How do comprehenders build up overall meaning representations of visual real-world events? This question was examined by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) while participants viewed short, silent movie clips depicting everyday events. In two experiments, it was demonstrated that presentation of the contextually inappropriate information in the movie endings evoked an anterior negativity....
متن کاملVoxML: A Visualization Modeling Language
We present the specification for a modeling language, VoxML, which encodes semantic knowledge of real-world objects represented as three-dimensional models, and of events and attributes related to and enacted over these objects.VoxML is intended to overcome the limitations of existing 3D visual markup languages by allowing for the encoding of a broad range of semantic knowledge that can be expl...
