Emergence of consensus and shared vocabularies in collaborative tagging systems (2009)
Robu, Valentin, Halpin, Harry, Shepherd, Hana
This article uses data from the social bookmarking site del.icio.us to empirically examine the dynamics of collaborative tagging systems and to study how coherent categorization schemes emerge from...
Foundations of a Philosophy of Collective Intelligence (2009)
Abstract. Philosophy, artificial intelligence and cognitive science have long been dominated by the presupposition that intelligence is fundamentally individual. Recent work in cognitive science...
The Principle of Self-Description: Identity Through Linking (2009)
Abstract. If one wants to have a scheme for identifying non-Web accessible entities, should it be centralized or decentralized? Given a URI, how can one tell if it refers to a web page or a non-Web...
The Role of Tag Suggestions in Folksonomies (2009)
Most tagging systems support the user in the tag selection process by providing tag suggestions, or recommendations, based on a popularity measurement of tags other users provided when tagging the...
Title:The Semantic Web: The Origins of AI Redux (2009)
This is the tear-off page. To facilitate blind review.
Social Meaning on the Web: From Wittgenstein To Search Engines (2009)
One could hypothesize that the essential bet of the Web is that in a decentralized information space multiple agents can share the meaning of a URI. On the Semantic Web, does a URI get its meaning...
Extracting Common Sense Knowledge from (2008)
Sangweon Suh, Harry Halpin, Ewan Klein
Abstract. Much of the natural language text found on the web contains various kinds of generic or “common sense ” knowledge, and this information has long been recognized by artificial...
Topic: For my Ph.D. thesis, I am currently investigating the foundations of Web architecture and a new approach to information aggregation via improved pipelining (called FunctionalXML) with Henry S....
The Ties that Bind XML, the Semantic Web, and Web Services (2008)
Abstract. The future success of service-oriented computing relies on a number of crucial connections being made between three distinct Web development initiatives: XML, the Semantic Web, and Web...
Automatic Evaluation and Composition of NLP Pipelines with Web Services (2008)
We describe the innovative use of describing an existing natural language “pipeline ” using the Semantic Web, and focus on how the performance and results of the components may be described....
Reinventing Technology: Artificial Intelligence from the Top of a Sycamore Tree (2008)
Every good essay begins with some scandalous confession, and I'll share with you mine: I am a researcher in artificial intelligence, and I live in a tree....
The debate within the Web community over the optimal means by which to organize information often pits formalized classifications against distributed collaborative tagging systems. A number of...
and Collaborative Systems (2008)
Involving a school teacher in the development of the intelligent writing tutor StoryStation allowed progress to be made on the problem of story classification. An experienced Scottish school-teacher...
Event Extraction in a Plot Advice Agent (2008)
In this paper we present how the automatic extraction of events from text can be used to both classify narrative texts according to plot quality and produce advice in an interactive learning...
The Dynamics and Semantics of Collaborative Tagging ABSTRACT (2008)
The debate within the Web community over the optimal means by which to organize information often pits formalized classifications against distributed collaborative tagging systems. A number of...
Information-Theoretic Models of Tagging (2008)
In earlier work, we showed using Kulback-Leibler (KL) divergence that tags form a power law distribution very quickly. Yet there is one major observed deviation from the ideal power law distribution...
08391 Group Summary -- The Berners-Lee Hypothesis: Power laws and Group Structure in Flickr (2008)
Baldassarri, Andrea, Barrat, Alain, Capocci, Andrea, Halpin, Harry, Lehner, Ulrike, Ramasco, Jose, ...
An intriguing hypothesis, first suggested by Tim Berners-Lee, is that the structure of online groups should conform to a power law distribution. We relate this hypothesis to earlier work around the...
The complex dynamics of collaborative tagging (2007)
The debate within the Web community over the optimal means by which to organize information often pits formalized classifications against distributed collaborative tagging systems. A number of...
XMLVS: Using Namespace Documents for XML (2006)
We introduce the namespaces in XML, focusing first on a definition of elementary terms and the reason for their introduction, the disambiguation of names in XML documents. Afterwards we explain the...
H.: One document to bind them: Combining xml, web services, and the semantic web (2006)
We present a paradigm for uniting the diverse strands of XML-based Web technologies by allowing them to be incorporated within a single document. This overcomes the distinction between programs and...
Web Proper Names: Naming Referents on the Web (2005)
When http: URIs are used to refer to things not on the Web as opposed to web pages, ambiguity arises on the Web. Both humans and machines need to solve the question of what someone is actually...
A Framework for Text Mining Services (2004)
Claire Grover, Harry Halpin, Ewan Klein, Jochen L. Leidner, Stephen Potter, Sebastian Riedel, ...
The growth of online scientific literature, coupled with the growing maturity of text processing technology, has boosted the importance of text mining as a potentially crucial tool. However, there...
Automatic Analysis of Plot for Story Rewriting (2004)
A method for automatic plot analysis of narrative texts that uses components of both traditional symbolic analysis of natural language and statistical machine-learning is presented for the story...
