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)

Reinventing Technology: Artificial Intelligence from the Top of a Sycamore Tree (2008)

Harry Halpin

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....

WWW 2007 / Track: E*-Applications Session: E-Communities ABSTRACT The Complex Dynamics of Collaborative Tagging (2008)

Harry Halpin, Buccleuch Place

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)

Information-Theoretic Models of Tagging (2008)

Halpin, Harry

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...
