Expert Discovery: A web mining approach
Expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “Who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” Expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. Aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. Collabor...
متن کاملA boundary element/finite difference analysis of subsidence phenomenon due to underground structures
Analysis of the stresses, displacements, and horizontal strains of the ground subsidence due to underground excavation in rocks can be accomplished by means of a hybridized higher order indirect boundary element/finite difference (BE/FD) formulation. A semi-infinite displacement discontinuity field is discretized (numerically) using the cubic displacement discontinuity elements (i.e. each highe...
متن کاملA Text Mining Framework for Accelerating the Semantic Curation of Literature
The Biodiversity Heritage Library is the world’s largest digital library of biodiversity literature. Currently containing almost 40 million pages, the library can be explored with a search interface employing keyword-matching, which unfortunately fails to address issues brought about by ambiguity. Helping alleviate these issues are tools that automatically attach semantic metadata to documents,...
متن کاملModeling and Environmental Risk Assessment of Eastern Alborz Coal Washing Plant
Mining operations and mineral-related industries are closely and directly related with the environment. The negative impacts of mining industry on the environment, known as environmental risks, must be controlled and managed in a way to minimize harmful and destructive effects. Environmental risk assessment studies are a suitable step to identify, analyze and rank the risk factors. In this stud...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Data Mining Scheme for Big Data Biodiversity Environment
In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficient data mining scheme for big data biodiversity environment. Efficient machine learning and data mining techniques provide an unprecedented opportunity to monitor and characterize big data biodiversity environments, such as forest cover type, monitored using low cost wireless sensor networks. However, given the sheer amount of data collected by th...
