Background National oral health policy was conscripted by the Indian Dental Association (IDA) in 1986 and was accepted as an integral part of National Health Policy (NHP) by the Central Council of Health and Family Welfare in one of its conferences in the year 1995. Objectives of this paper were to find out the efforts made or going on towards its execution, its current status and recent oral h...

Information databases today contain many millions of electronic documents. Locating information on the Internet today is problematic, due to the enormous number of documents it contains. Several other studies have found that associating documents with a subject or list of topics can improve locatability of information on the Internet. Effective cataloguing of information is performed manually, ...

Open Access institutional repositories are electronic archives that may contain post-published articles, pre-published articles, thesis, manuals, teaching materials or other documents that the authors or their institutions wish to make publicly available without financial or other access barriers. Open Access institutional repositories provide an avenue for the promotion and dissemination of kn...

This paper describes the development of a relational discourse parsing architecture for text documents of a complex text type, namely scientific articles. To achieve this goal, several different linguistic knowledge sources and auxiliary analyses on different linguistic levels are necessary.

In this paper, we propose an efficient strategy for summarizing scientific documents in Organic Chemistry that concentrates on numerical treatments. We present its implementation named yachs (Yet Another Chemistry Summarizer) that combines a specific document preprocessing with a sentence scoring method relying on the statistical properties of documents. We show that yachs achieves the best res...

We participated in Web retrieval tasks in order to investigate the integration of multiple retrieval results. We also examined the possibility of using a general retrieval system designed for organized documents, such as news articles that match users’ queries, to retrieve unorganized documents, such as Web documents. Our results show that if information retrieval systems use the OKAPI method, ...

We are creating a document conversion system based on modelling the logical structures of two broad categories of document types: human-oriented and machine-oriented. Each human-oriented, or user, type is a genre of documents that is well de-ned and well known to human authors and readers; for example, \scientiic articles", \mathematical formulae" (e.g., x 3 +x 2 ?1 x 2 +1), or \limericks". Eac...

In this paper we introduce a novel document clustering approach that solves some major problems of traditional document clustering approaches. Instead of depending on traditional vector space model, this approach represents a set of documents as bipartite graphs using domain knowledge in ontology. In this representation, the concepts of the documents are classified according to their relationsh...

The Winnow family of learning algorithms can cope well with large numbers of features and is tolerant to variations in document length, which makes it suitable for classifying large collections of large documents, like patent applications. Both the large size of the documents and the large number of available training documents for each class make this classification task qualitatively differen...
