Pairwise Relation Classification With Mirror Instances And A Combined Convolutional Neural Network, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang Dec 2016

Pairwise Relation Classification With Mirror Instances And A Combined Convolutional Neural Network, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Relation classification is the task of classifying the semantic relations between entity pairs in text. Observing that existing work has not fully explored using different representations for relation instances, especially in order to better handle the asymmetry of relation types, in this paper, we propose a neural network based method for relation classification that combines the raw sequence and the shortest dependency path representations of relation instances and uses mirror instances to perform pairwise relation classification. We evaluate our proposed models on two widely used datasets: SemEval-2010 Task 8 and ACE-2005. The empirical results show that our combined model together …

Automated program repair (APR) is a challenging process of detecting bugs, localizing buggy code, generating fix candidates and validating the fixes. Effectiveness of program repair methods relies on the generated fix candidates, and the methods used to traverse the space of generated candidates to search for the best ones. Existing approaches generate fix candidates based on either syntactic searches over source code or semantic analysis of specification, e.g., test cases. In this paper, we propose to combine both syntactic and semantic fix candidates to enhance the search space of APR, and provide a function to effectively traverse the search space. …


Can Instagram Posts Help Characterize Urban Micro-Events?, Kasthuri Jayarajah, Archan Misra Jul 2016

Can Instagram Posts Help Characterize Urban Micro-Events?, Kasthuri Jayarajah, Archan Misra

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social media content, from platforms such as Twitter and Foursquare, has enabled an exciting new field of social sensing, where participatory content generated by users has been used to identify unexpected emerging or trending events. In contrast to such text-based channels, we focus on image-sharing social applications (specifically Instagram), and investigate how such urban social sensing can leverage upon the additional multi-modal, multimedia content. Given the significantly higher fraction of geotagged content on Instagram, we aim to use such channels to go beyond identification of long-lived events (e.g., a marathon) to achieve finer-grained characterization of multiple micro-events (e.g., a person …


Semantic Proximity Search On Graphs With Metagraph-Based Learning, Yuan Fang, Wenqing Lin, Vincent W. Zheng, Min Wu, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Xiao-Li Li May 2016

Semantic Proximity Search On Graphs With Metagraph-Based Learning, Yuan Fang, Wenqing Lin, Vincent W. Zheng, Min Wu, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Xiao-Li Li

Given ubiquitous graph data such as the Web and social networks, proximity search on graphs has been an active research topic. The task boils down to measuring the proximity between two nodes on a graph. Although most earlier studies deal with homogeneous or bipartite graphs only, many real-world graphs are heterogeneous with objects of various types, giving rise to different semantic classes of proximity. For instance, on a social network two users can be close for different reasons, such as being classmates or family members, which represent two distinct classes of proximity. Thus, it becomes inadequate to only measure a …


A More Accurate Model For Finding Tutorial Segments Explaining Apis, He Jiang, Jingxuan Zhang, Xiaochen Li, Zhilei Ren, David Lo Mar 2016

A More Accurate Model For Finding Tutorial Segments Explaining Apis, He Jiang, Jingxuan Zhang, Xiaochen Li, Zhilei Ren, David Lo

Developers prefer to utilize third-party libraries when they implement some functionalities and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are frequently used by them. Facing an unfamiliar API, developers tend to consult tutorials as learning resources. Unfortunately, the segments explaining a specific API scatter across tutorials. Hence, it remains a challenging issue to find the relevant segments. In this study, we propose a more accurate model to find the exact tutorial fragments explaining APIs. This new model consists of a text classifier with domain specific features. More specifically, we discover two important indicators to complement traditional text based features, namely co-occurrence APIs and …
