...Correlation Based Dynamic Clustering and Hash Based Retrieval for Large Datasets ABSTRACT Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce the overload of document retrieval. There is a need to provide an efficient method for storage and retrieval .This project proposes the use of dynamic clustering mechanism for organizing and storing the dataset according to concept based clustering. Also hashing technique will be used to retrieve the data from the dataset based on the association rules .Related documents are grouped into same cluster by k-means clustering algorithm. From each cluster important sentences are extracted by concept matching and also based on sentence feature score. Experiments are carried to analyze the performance of the proposed work with the existing techniques considering scientific articles and news tracks as data set .From the analysis it is inferred that our proposed technique gives better enhancement for the documents related to scientific terms. Keywords Document clustering, concept extraction, K-means algorithm, hash-based indexing, performance evaluation 1. INTRODUCTION Now-a-days online submission of documents has increased widely, which means large amount of documents are accumulated for a particular domain dynamically. Information retrieval [1] is the process of searching information within the documents. An information retrieval process begins when a user enters a query; queries are formal statements of...

...Improved Matchmaking Algorithm for Semantic Web Services Based on Bipartite Graph Matching Umesh Bellur, Roshan Kulkarni Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology, IIT Bombay umesh@it.iitb.ac.in, roshan@it.iitb.ac.in Abstract The ability to dynamically discover and invoke a Web Service is a critical aspect of Service Oriented Architectures. An important component of the discovery process is the matchmaking algorithm itself. In order to overcome the limitations of a syntax-based search, matchmaking algorithms based on semantic techniques have been proposed. Most of them are based on an algorithm originally proposed by M. Paolucci, et al. [21]. In this paper, we analyze this original algorithm and identify some correctness issues with it. We illustrate how these issues are an outcome of the greedy approach adopted by the algorithm. We propose a more exhaustive matchmaking algorithm, based on the concept of matching bipartite graphs, to overcome the problems faced with the original algorithm. We analyze the complexity of both the algorithms and present performance results which show that our algorithm performs as well as the original. 1 Introduction Loose Coupling is an important principle underlying Service Oriented Architectures. One aspect of loose coupling is the ability to invoke a service provider with little (or no) prior knowledge about it. The publish-find-bind architecture is intended to facilitate this process. Service providers create WSDL [9] descriptions...

...Effective Keyword Extraction Method for Videos in Web Pages by Analyzing their Layout Structures Jongwon Lee Chungkang College 162 Chungkang-ro Majang-myun Ichon-si, Gyunggi-do 467-744, Korea Abstract- This paper proposes an effective keyword extraction method for the Web videos by analyzing the structure of the Web pages. The proposed scheme calculates the relative importance (or weights) of the text blocks to a video by analyzing the distances of the text blocks to the video. This distance, called the layout distance, indicates a degree of relevance of text block to video, and could be estimated by analyzing the layout structure of Web pages. Since the Web pages with several videos such as Web pages posting UCC videos have a special layout structure, this layout analysis helps to precisely estimate the relevance of text block to the video. This weight of text block is used to compute the final weights of keywords extracted from that text block by analyzing their HTML tags and other well-known techniques such as TF/IDF. Some experiments with 1,087 Web pages that have total 2,462 videos show that the precision of the proposed extraction scheme is 17% higher than ImageRover[1]. Giseok Choi, Juyeon Jang, and Jongho Nang Sogang University 1 Sinsu-dong Mapo-gu, Seoul 121-742, Korea weights are inverse proportional to the layout distances to the video, however, they are adjusted by reflecting the structural characteristics of Web pages with videos. After assigning the weights to...

Providing significant and updated information is important to an administration because it is committed to promote transparency in school. It is grateful to a certain place that if it is linked to the rest of the world, it means that people could easily access vital information about the school. This set of web information could include data about the events of school or the school history, its vision and mission, its faculty and staff and its plans and programs. In this age of information, almost all fields of endeavor such as education, manufacturing, research, games, entertainment, and business treat information systems as a need. Indeed, every activity in our daily life today requires people to get involved in the use of information systems.

Sagum Department of Computer Science University of Santo Tomas Espana, Manila, 1008, PH riasagum31@yahoo.com ABSTRACT Traditional resume based recruitment interviews conducted by Human Resources (HR) specialists are time-consuming and costly. In-person interviews only allow companies to handle only a limited number of job applicants at a time. Also, there is no centralized database for resume storage and retrieval. As a result, a substantial amount of time and money is misdirected on interviewing unqualified job applicants. The proponents developed a resume based employment interview chatbot, using an enhanced example based dialog model, to evaluate job applicants’ consistency in their resume details and interview answers. The chatbot will replace the HR interviewer while maintaining the fundamental quality...

...also divided by several technical issues. There are subfields which are focussed on the solution of specific problems, on one of several possible approaches, on the use of widely differing tools and towards the accomplishment of particular applications. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.[6] General intelligence (or "strong AI") is still among the field's long term goals.[7] Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI. There are an enormous number of tools used in AI, including versions of search and mathematical optimization, logic, methods based on probability and economics, and many others. The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described...
