This paper proposes an Entity Linking system that applies a topic modeling ranking. We apply a novel approach in order to provide new relevant elements to the model. These elements are keyphrases related to the queries and gathered from a huge Wikipedia-based knowledge resource.

Nowadays, web users are facing a novel and dynamically changing environment, which promotes collaboration in content creation. In the web era, people usually neglected the quality of content, and had minimum authority on reporting good or bad content, whereas, in Web 2.0, content is becoming a priority and people become more critical when they assess its quality. In the former case, each web si...

Landauer’s principle is applied to information in the universe. Once stars began forming there was a constant information energy density as the increasing proportion of matter at high stellar temperatures exactly compensated for the expanding universe. The information equation of state was close to the dark energy value, w = -1, for a wide range of redshifts, 10> z >0.8, over one half of cosmic...

A conditional key is a key constraint that is valid in only a part of the data. In this paper, we show how such keys can be mined automatically on large knowledge bases (KBs). For this, we combine techniques from key mining with techniques from rule mining. We show that our method can scale to KBs of millions of facts. We also show that the conditional keys we mine can improve the quality of en...

Many engineering systems are too complex to design as a single entity. Decomposition-based design optimization methods partition a system design problem into subproblems, and coordinate subproblem solutions toward an optimal system design. Recent work has addressed formal methods for determining an ideal system partition and coordination strategy, but coordination decisions have been limited to...

This article describes the system used by the UGent-IBCN team for participating in the Text Analysis Conference (TAC) 2013 English Entity-Linking task. We kept the overall rule-based workflow of our last year’s submission, but significantly altered individual components. Most importantly, these changes include improved document pre-processing, new ways of candidate selection, and completely red...
