Computational Methods For Historical Research On Wikipedia’S Archives, Jonathan Cohen
Computational Methods For Historical Research On Wikipedia’S Archives, Jonathan Cohen
e-Research: A Journal of Undergraduate Work
This paper presents a novel study of geographic information implicit in the English Wikipedia archive. This project demonstrates a method to extract data from the archive with data mining, map the global distribution of Wikipedia editors through geocoding in GIS, and proceed with a spatial analysis of Wikipedia use in metropolitan cities.
Implementation Of A Segmented, Transactional Database Caching System, Benjamin J. Sandmann
Implementation Of A Segmented, Transactional Database Caching System, Benjamin J. Sandmann
Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato
Research on algorithms and concepts regarding memory-based data caching can help solve the performance bottleneck in current Database Management Systems. Problems such as data concurrency, persistent storage, and transaction management have limited most memory cache’s capabilities. It has also been tough to develop a proper user- oriented and business friendly way of implementing such a system. The research of this project focused on code implementation, abstract methodologies and how to best prepare such an application for common business usage.
An Automatic Dialog System For Student Advising, Brian Mcmahan
An Automatic Dialog System For Student Advising, Brian Mcmahan
Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato
Automatic dialog systems are an implementation of natural language processing theory with the goal of allowing the use of natural sentences to communicate with a computer system. The general purpose of this project was to design and implement an automatic dialog system for augmenting university student advising. Student advising is a relatively narrow domain of possible questions and responses. The automatic dialog system focused on prescriptive advising rather than developmental advising to further narrow the domain to scheduling and registration matters. A student advisor was interviewed and recorded during a mock advising session in order to model the interaction between …
