Digital data include image, text, and video. Video represents a rich source of information. Thus, there is an urgent need to retrieve, organize, and automate videos. Video retrieval is a vital process in multimedia applications such as video search engines, digital museums, and video-on-demand broadcasting. In this paper, the different approaches of video retrieval are outlined and briefly categorized. Moreover, the different methods that bridge the semantic gap in video retrieval are discussed in more details.展开更多

First, it takes the concept of SWEBOK V3 as the standard to extract the interpretation of the concept from the Wikipedia, and extracts the keywords as the concept of semantic;Second, through the conceptual semantic knowledge base, it is formed by the relationship between the hierarchical relationship concept and the other text interpretation concept in the Wikipedia. Finally, the semantic similarity between concepts is calculated by the random walk algorithm for the construction of the conceptual semantic knowledge base. The semantic similarity of knowledge base constructed by this method can reach more than 84%, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.展开更多

It is necessary to define the differences between the measures, performance, and evaluations. The major contribution of this paper is to choose the best measure among different similarity measures that give us good result with less error rate. The experiment was done on a taxonomy built to measure the semantic distance between two concepts in the health domain, which are represented as nodes in the taxonomy. Similarity measures methods were evaluated relative to human experts’ ratings. Our experiment was applied on the ICD10 taxonomy to determine the similarity value between two concepts. The similarity between 30 pairs of the health domains has been evaluated using different types of semantic similarity measures equations. The experimental results discussed in this paper have shown that the Hoa A. Nguyen and Hisham Al-Mubaid measure has achieved high matching score by the expert’s judgment.展开更多

The studied queries include one or two nominal groups (NG) articulating around a verb. A NG consists of one or several keywords (application dependent noun or value). Simple semantic filters are defined for identifying these keywords which can be of semantic value: class, simple attribute, composed attribute, key value or not key value. Coherence rules and coherence constraints are introduced, to check the validity of the co-occurrence of two consecutive nouns in complex NG. If a query is constituted of a single NG, no further analysis is required. Otherwise, if a query covers two valid NG, it is a subject of studying the semantic coherence of the verb and both NG which are attached to it.展开更多

Comparative evaluation of the proposed approach with the Na ve Bayes algorithm have been developed before for the same purpose.Findings: Experimental results show that the heuristics based algorithm outperformed the Na ve Bayes algorithm. The use of leading words helped improving the annotation performance while prioritizing rule application based on their weights had no significant impact on algorithm performance.Research limitations: The ICTCLAS was used to identify word boundaries off-shelf without optimatization for biodiversity domain. This may have not made the best use of the tool.Practical implications & Originality/value: The performance of heuristics based approach,enhanced by leading words analysis, reached an F value of 0.9216, which is sufficiently accurate for practical use.展开更多

The ontology will be constructed with the application of cluster technique in an incremental way. Firstly, terms will be extracted from knowledge sources and congregate a term set after pretreat-ment. Then the concept set will be built via semantic-based clustering according to semanteme of terms provided by WordNet. Next, a concept tree is constructed in terms of mapping rules between semanteme relationships and concept relationships. The semi-automatic approach can avoid non-consistence due to knowledge engineers having different understanding of the same concept and the obtained ontology is easily to be expanded.展开更多

This attempt constitutes an innovative approach, since it is based on externalizing domain knowledge in the form of Ontology-Based Knowledge Networks, incorporating standardized methodology in soil engineering. The ontology soil/water concepts (semantics) of the developed network correspond to soil/water physicochemical & biological properties, classified in seven different generations that are distinguished/located in infiltration/percolation process of contaminated water through soil porous media. The interconnections with arcs between corresponding concepts/properties among the consecutive generations are defined by the relationship of dependent and independent variables. All these interconnections are documented according to the below three ways: 1) dependent and independent variables interconnected by using the logical operator “<em>depends on</em>” quoting existent explicit functions and equations;2) dependent and independent variables interconnected by using the logical operator “<em>depends on</em>” quoting produced implicit functions, according to Rayleigh’s method of indices;3) dependent and independent variables interconnected by using the logical operator “<em>related to</em>” based on a logical dependence among the examined nodes-concepts-variables. The aforementioned approach provides significant advantages to semantic web developers and web users by means of prompt knowledge navigation, tracking, retrieval and usage.展开更多
