Contextualizing Ontologies with OntoLight: A Pragmatic Approach (2008)

Marko Grobelnik, Janez Brank, Blaž Fortuna, Igor Mozetič

We present a pragmatic approach to using large-scale ontologies as contexts. The approach is based on a lightweight ontology model and grounding of the ontology concepts in textual documents. These...

Feature selection for the classification of large document collections (2008)

Brank, Janez, Mladenić, Dunja, Grobelnik, Marko, Milic-Frayling, Natasa

Feature selection methods are often applied in the context of document classification. They are particularly important for processing large data sets that may contain millions of documents and are...

PREDICTING THE ADDITION OF NEW CONCEPTS IN A TOPIC HIERARCHY (2007)

Brank, Janez, Mladenić, Dunja, Grobelnik, Marko

Ontologies often change through time, a process largely done manually by human editors. We discuss the task of automatically predicting when structural changes will occur in a given ontology. We...

Hierarchical text categorization using coding matrices (2006)

Brank, Janez, Mladenić, Dunja, Grobelnik, Marko

We discuss the task of ontology population as a machine learning problem with a large hierarchy of classes. Since many machine learning methods are designed primarily for two-class problems, it is...

Loose Phrase String Kernels (2006)

Brank, Janez

When representing textual documents by feature vectors for the purposes of further processing (e.g. for categorization, clustering, or visualization), one possible representation is based on “loose...

Using DMoz for constructing ontology from data stream (2006)

Grobelnik, Marko, Brank, Janez, Mladenić, Dunja, Novak, Blaz, Fortuna, Blaz

This paper presents an approach for constructing an ontology from a stream of documents. Named entities extracted from the documents are used as instances of the ontology. Entities and co-occurring...

M.: Gold standard based ontology evaluation using instance assignment (2006)

Janez Brank

An ontology is an explicit formal conceptualization of some domain of interest. Ontology evaluation is the problem of assessing a given ontology from the point of view of a particular criterion or...

A survey of ontology evaluation techniques (2005)

Brank, Janez, Grobelnik, Marko, Mladenić, Dunja

An ontology is an explicit formal conceptualization of some domain of interest. Ontologies are increasingly used in various fields such as knowledge management, information extraction, and the...

MACHINE LEARNING ON SETS OF DOCUMENTS CONNECTED IN GRAPHS (2004)

Brank, Janez

This paper deals with the problem of machine learning on sets of documents connected into graphs. Our strategy is to represent each document by a diverse set of heterogeneous attributes, including...

DRAWING GRAPHS USING SIMULATED ANNEALING AND GRADIENT DESCENT (2004)

Brank, Janez

This paper presents graph drawing as an optimization problem. Each vertex of the graph is to be represented by a point in the plane, and each edge by a straight line between two points. To evaluate a...

Feature selection using linear classifier weights: interaction with classification models (2004)

Dunja Mladenić, Janez Brank

This paper explores feature scoring and selection based on weights from linear classification models. It investigates how these methods combine with various learning models. Our comparative analysis...

The Download Estimation task on KDD Cup 2003 (2003)

Brank, Janez, Leskovec, Jure

This paper describes our work on the Download Estimation task for KDD Cup 2003. The task requires us to estimate how many times a paper has been downloaded in the first 60 days after it has been...

The Download Estimation Task on KDD Cup 2003 (2003)

Janez Brank And, Janez Brank, Jure Leskovec

This paper describes our work on the Download Estimation task for KDD Cup 2003. The task requires us to estimate how many times a paper has been downloaded in the first 60 days after it has been...

Interaction of feature selection methods and linear classification models (2002)

Janez Brank, Marko Grobelnik

In this paper we explore effects of various feature selection algorithms on document classification performance. We propose to use two, possibly distinct linear classifiers: one used exclusively for...
