In this paper, we propose a Future View system that assists user’s usual Web browsing. The Future View will prefetch Web pages based on user’s browsing strategies and present them to a user in order to assist Web browsing. To learn user’s browsing patterns, the Future View uses two types of learning classifier systems: a content-based classifier system for contents change patterns and an action...

The majority of computer vision applications assume the pin-hole camera model. However, most optics will introduce some undesirable effects, rendering the assumption of the pin-hole camera model invalid. This is particularly evident in cameras with wide fields-of-view. The aim of distortion correction is, therefore, to transform the distorted view of wide-angle cameras to the pin-hole perspecti...

In this paper, we propose a Future View system that assists user’s usual Web browsing. A Future View will prefetch Web pages based on user’s browsing strategies and present them to a user in order to assist Web browsing. To learn browsing patterns for a user, Future View uses two types of learning classifier systems: a content-based classifier system for contents change patterns and an action-b...

Online discussion systems in the form of forums have been represented by graphs and analyzed through social network techniques. Each forum is regarded as a social network and it is modeled by a graph whose vertices represent forum participants. Here, we focus on the structure and the opinion content of the forum postings and we are looking at the social network that is developed from a semantic...

Adaptation and personalization services of the information offered to the users in open e-learning environments are considered to be the turning point of recent research efforts. The “one-size-fits-all” approach has some important drawbacks, from the educational point of view. Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems in World Wide Web became a very active research field and the need of standardi...

The web is growing at a rapid speed and it is almost impossible for a web crawler to download all new pages. Pages reporting breaking news should be stored into search engine index as soon as they are published, while others whose content is not time-related can be left for later crawls. We collected and analyzed into users’ page-view data of 75,112,357 pages for 60 days. Using this data, we fo...

We present a method for producing a bird’s-eye view of statements that are expressed on Web pages on a given topic. This method aggregates statements that are relevant to the topic, and shows contradictory and contrastive relations among them. This view of contradictions and contrasts helps users acquire a top-down understanding of the topic. To realize this, we extract such statements and rela...

The view mechanism can provide the user with an appropriate portion of database through data filtering and integration. In the Web era where information proliferates, the view concept is also useful for XML documents in a Web-based information system. Views are often materialized for query performance, and in that case, their consistency needs to be maintained against the updates of the underly...

We present a dissenting view of some aspects of the work of the Crystal Barrel collaboration. We have found through the World Wide Web a review article Claude Amsler has submitted to Reviews of Modern Physics and entitled " ¯ pp Annihilation and Meson Spectroscopy with the Crystal Barrel " , hep-ex/9708025. We have major disagreements of both history and scientific fact concerning this review. ...

Frequent pattern mining is a heavily researched area in the field of data mining with wide range of applications. One of them is to use frequent pattern discovery methods in Web log data. Discovering hidden information from Web log data is called Web usage mining. The aim of discovering frequent patterns in Web log data is to obtain information about the navigational behavior of the users. This...
