Context-aware semantic analysis of video metadata
Im Vergleich zu einer stichwortbasierten Suche ermöglicht die semantische Suche ein präziseres und anspruchsvolleres Durchsuchen von (Web)-Dokumenten, weil durch die explizite Semantik Mehrdeutigkeiten von natürlicher Sprache vermieden und semantische Beziehungen in das Suchergebnis einbezogen …

Dependency-based Semantic Analysis of Natural-language Text
Semantic roles, logical relations such as Agent or Instrument that hold between events and their participants and circumstances, need to be determined automatically by several types of applications in natural language processing. This process is referred to as semantic role labeling. This …

Selected sequence signals in Japanese : a semantic analysis
This thesis is an attempt to analyze the meaning of four Japanese words which are generally used fo r summarizing, paraphrasing or c la rify in g what has been previously stated. The function of these four words is to re la te sentences in a discourse. Therefore, the meaning of the words cannot be …

Effective Methods of Semantic Analysis in Spatial Contexts
… the growing spread of spatial data, exploratory analysis has gained a considerable amount of attention. Particularly in the fields of Information Retrieval and Data Mining, the integration of data points helps uncover interesting patterns not always visible to the naked eye. Social networks often …

SEMANTIC ANALYSIS AND UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR IN VIDEO STREAMING
This thesis investigates the semantic analysis of the human behaviour captured by video streaming, both from the theoretical and technological points of view. The video analysis based on the semantic content is in fact still an open issue for the computer vision research community, especially when …

The surprising effectiveness of explicit semantic analysis in dataless classification
… the creation of a classifier by only requiring semantic descriptions of the labels. However, despite the encouraging performance of Dataless Classification on Text Classification tasks, there is still a room for large improvement. In this thesis, we identify the limitations of ESA-driven …

Parallel implementations of probabilistic latent semantic analysis on graphic processing units
Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) has been successfully applied to many text mining tasks such as retrieval, clustering, summarization, etc. PLSA involves iterative computation for a large number of parameters and may take hours or even days to process a large dataset, thus speeding up …

Learning semantic structures from in-domain documents
Semantic analysis is a core area of natural language understanding that has typically focused on predicting domain-independent representations. However, such representations are unable to fully realize the rich diversity of technical content prevalent in a variety of specialized domains. Taking the …
