Automatic Thesaurus Generation for an Electronic Community SystemChen, Hsinchun, Schatz, Bruce R., Yim, Tak, Fye, David 04 1900 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / This research reports an algorithmic approach to the automatic generation of thesauri for electronic community systems. The techniques used included term filtering, automatic indexing, and cluster analysis. The testbed for our research was the Worm Community System, which contains a comprehensive library of specialized community data and literature, currently in use by molecular biologists who study the nematode worm C. elegans. The resulting worm thesaurus included 2709 researchers’ names, 798 gene names, 20 experimental methods, and 4302 subject descriptors. On average, each term had about 90 weighted neighboring terms indicating relevant concepts. The thesaurus was developed as an online search aide. We tested the worm thesaurus in an experiment with six worm researchers of varying degrees of expertise and background. The experiment showed that the thesaurus was an excellent “memory-jogging” device and that it supported learning and serendipitous browsing. Despite some occurrences of obvious noise, the system was useful in suggesting relevant concepts for the researchers’ queries and it helped improve concept recall. With a simple browsing interface, an automatic thesaurus can become a useful tool for online search and can assist researchers in exploring and traversing a dynamic and complex electronic community system.

Multilingual input system for the Web - an open multimedia approach of keyboard and handwritten recognition for Chinese and JapaneseRamsey, Marshall C., Ong, Thian-Huat, Chen, Hsinchun January 1998 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / The basic building block of a multilingual information
retrieval system is the input system. Chinese and
Japanese characters pose great challenges for the
conventional 101-key alphabet-based keyboard, because
they are radical-based and number in the thousands. This
paper reviews the development of various approaches and
then presents a framework and working demonstrations of
Chinese and Japanese input methods implemented in
Java, which allow open deployment over the web to any
platform, The demo includes both popular keyboard input
methods and neural network handwriting recognition
using a mouse or pen. This framework is able to
accommodate future extension to other input mediums
and languages of interest.

The Java Search Agent WorkshopChen, Hsinchun, Ramsey, Marshall C., Li, P. January 2000 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / As part of the ongoing Illinois Digital Library Initiative project, this paper presents the Java Search Agent Workshop (JSAW), a testbed designed for Java-based information searching. Based on artificial intelligence, neural networks, and G-Search, we implemented several search methods in Java to demonstrate their feasibility in various database, Internet, Intranet, and digital library search tasks. In addition to detailing our design rationale and implementation status, we present several sample Java implementations including a best first search spider and G-Search spider for Internet searching, and a Hopfield neural network based visualizer for database searching. Lessons learned and future directions are also
presented.

Semantic Indexing and Searching Using a Hopfield NetChen, Hsinchun, Zhang, Yin, Houston, Andrea L. January 1998 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / This paper presents a neural network approach to document
semantic indexing. A Hopfield net algorithm was used to simulate human associative memory for concept exploration
in the domain of computer science and engineering. INSPEC, a collection of more than 320,000 document abstracts from leading journals, was used as the document testbed. Benchmark tests confirmed that three parameters (maximum number of activated nodes, E - maximum allowable error, and maximum number of iterations) were useful in positively influencing network convergence behavior without negatively impacting central processing unit performance. Another series of benchmark tests was performed to determine the effectiveness of various filtering techniques in reducing the negative impact of noisy input terms. Preliminary user tests confirmed our expectation that the Hopfield net algorithm is potentially useful as an associative memory technique to improve document recall and precision by solving discrepancies between indexer vocabularies and end-user vocabularies.

The MindMine Comment Analysis Tool for Collaborative Attitude Solicitation, Analysis, Sense-Making and VisualizationRomano, Nicholas C., Bauer, Christina, Chen, Hsinchun, Nunamaker, Jay F. January 2000 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / This paper describes a study to explore the integration of
Group Support Systems (GSS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to provide solicitation, analytical, visualization and sense-making support for attitudes from large distributed marketing focus groups. The paper describes two experiments and the concomitant evolutionary design and development of an attitude analysis process and the MindMine Comment Analysis Tool. The analysis process circumvents many of the problems associated with traditional data gathering via closed-ended questionnaires and potentially biased interviews by providing support for online free response evaluative comments. MindMine allows teams of raters to analyze comments from any source, including electronic meetings, discussion groups or surveys, whether they are Web-based or same-place. The analysis results are then displayed as visualizations that enable the team quickly to make sense of attitudes reflected in the comment set, which we believe provide richer information and a more detailed understanding of attitudes.

Building an Infrastructure for Law Enforcement Information Sharing and Collaboration: Design Issues and ChallengesChau, Michael, Atabakhsh, Homa, Zeng, Daniel, Chen, Hsinchun January 2001 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / With the exponential growth of the Internet, information can be shared among government agencies more easily than before. However, this also poses some design issues and challenges. This article reports on our experience in building an infrastructure for information sharing and collaboration in the law enforcement domain. Based on our user requirement studies with the Tucson Police Department, three main design challenges are identified and discussed in details. Based on our findings, we propose an infrastructure to address these issues. The proposed design consists of three modules, namely (1) Security and Confidentiality Management Module, (2) Information Access and Monitoring Module, and (3)
Collaboration Module. A prototype system will be deployed and tested at the Tucson Police Department. We anticipate that our studies can potentially provide useful insight to other digital government research projects.

User Misconceptions of Information Retrieval SystemsChen, Hsinchun, Dhar, Vasant January 1990 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / We report results of an investigation where thirty subjects were observed performing subject-based search in an online catalog system. The observations have revealed a range of misconceptions users have when performing subject-based search. We have developed a taxonomy that characterizes these misconceptions and a knowledge representation which explains these misconceptions. Directions for improving search performance are also suggested.

A graphical self-organizing approach to classifying electronic meeting outputOrwig, Richard E., Chen, Hsinchun, Nunamaker, Jay F. 02 1900 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / This article describes research in the application of a Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to the problem of classification of electronic brainstorming output and an evaluation of the results. This research builds upon previous work in automating the meeting classification process using a Hopfield neural network. Evaluation of the Kohonen output comparing it with Hopfield and human expert output using the same set of data found that the Kohonen SOM performed as well as a human expert in representing term association in the meeting output and outperformed the Hopfield neural network algorithm. Recall of consensus meeting concepts and topics using the Kohonen algorithm was equivalent to that of the human expert.

Knowledge-Based Document Retrieval: Framework and DesignChen, Hsinchun 06 1900 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / This article presents research on the design of knowledge-based document retrieval systems. We adopted a semantic network structure to represent subject knowledge and classification scheme knowledge and modeled experts' search strategies and user modeling capability as procedural knowledge. These functionalities were incorporated into a prototype knowledge-based retrieval system, Metacat. Our system, the design of which was based on the blackboard architecture, was able to create a user profile, identify task requirements, suggest heuristics-based search strategies, perform semantic-based search assistance, and assist online query refinement.

COPLINK: A Case of Intelligent Analysis and Knowledge ManagementHauck, Roslin V., Chen, Hsinchun January 1999 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / Law enforcement agencies across the United States have begun to focus on innovative knowledge management
technologies to aid in the analysis of criminal information. The use of such technologies can serve as
intelligence tools to combat criminal activity by aiding in case investigation or even by predicting criminal
activity. Funded by the National Institute of Justice, the University of Arizonaâ s Artificial Intelligence Lab has
teamed with the Tucson Police Department (TPD) to develop the Coplink Concept Space application, which
serves to uncover relationships between different types of information currently existing in TPDâ s records
management system. A small-scale field study involving real law enforcement personnel indicates that the use
of Coplink Concept Space can reduce the time spent on the investigative task of linking criminal information
as well as provide strong arguments for expanded development of similar knowledge management systems in
support of law enforcement.
