A new challenge that consists in accessing to multiple relevant entities arises from the availability of linked heterogeneous data. In this paper, we address more specifically the problem of accessing to relevant entities, such as publications and authors within a bibliographic network, considering an information need. We propose a novel algorithm, called BibRank, that estimates a joint relevan...

Citation-based similarity measures such as Bibliographic Coupling and Co-Citation are an integral component of many information retrieval systems. However, comparisons of the strengths and weaknesses of measures are challenging due to the lack of suitable test collections. This paper presents CITREC, an open evaluation framework for citation-based and text-based similarity measures. CITREC prep...

A specialized service was implemented that, when given a plain list of results from a regular online catalogue, it is able t...

The communication system thus conceived comprehends both formal and informal dimensions of social scienc...

A prototype system has been designed to automate the extraction of bibliographic data (e.g., article title, authors, abstract, affiliation and others) from online biomedical journals to populate the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE® database. This paper describes a key module in this system: the labeling module that employs statistics and fuzzy rule-based algorithms to identify segmented ...
