Finding Needles In A Haystack: A Case Study Of Text Mining The Corpus Of 15 Academic Journals, Eric A. Kowalik, Tara Baillargeon, Jennifer M. Cook

Eric A. Kowalik

Learn how a team collaborated to develop a text mining process for 7,500 journal articles and 500+ keywords to determine how often, when, and in what context specific terms were used. We share our processes obtaining journal permissions, data conversion, and code writing, which you can replicate to assist researchers.


System Projector: An Automatic Program Rewriting Tool For Non-Ground Answer Set Programs, Yuliya Lierler Aug 2019

System Projector: An Automatic Program Rewriting Tool For Non-Ground Answer Set Programs, Yuliya Lierler

Answer set programming is a popular constraint programming paradigm that has seen wide use across various industry applications. However, logic programs under answer set semantics often require careful design and nontrivial expertise from a programmer to obtain satisfactory solving times. In order to reduce this burden on a software engineer we propose an automated rewriting technique for non-ground logic programs that we implement in a system PROJECTOR. We conduct rigorous experimental analysis, which shows that applying system PROJECTOR to a logic program can improve its performance, even after significant human-performed optimizations. This talk will present PROJECTOR and considered experimental analysis …


Plw Tutorial: Processing Narratives By Means Of Action Languages​, Yuliya Lierler Jun 2019

Plw Tutorial: Processing Narratives By Means Of Action Languages​, Yuliya Lierler

Yuliya Lierler

The tutorial explains the design of a narrative understanding tool Text2Alm. System Text2Alm uses an action language ALM to perform inferences on complex interactions of events described in narratives. The methodology used to implement the Text2Alm was originally outlined by Lierler, Inclezan, and Gelfond in 2017. Text2Alm relies on a conglomeration of resources and techniques from two distinct fields of artificial intelligence, namely, natural language processing and knowledge representation and reasoning. The tutorial will also present the results on the effectiveness of system Text2Alm measured by its ability to correctly answer questions from the bAbI tasks published by Facebook Research …


Synthesis And Evaluation Of Novel Silica Hydride-Based Stationary Phases For Bioanalytical Application, Seiichiro Watanabe May 2019

Synthesis And Evaluation Of Novel Silica Hydride-Based Stationary Phases For Bioanalytical Application, Seiichiro Watanabe

Most HPLC columns are packed with silanol-rich (Si-OH) type-B silica material that often participates in undesired electrostatic interactions with the analyte solutes and produces poor peak shape [1,2]. These silanols are also known to facilitate surface hydration necessary for HILIC retention mode for polar analyte molecules. However, the hydrated surface composition can easily fluctuate, and thus results in a poor reproducibility and requires lengthy equilibration step. In this study, four novel stationary phases have been developed by using the TYPE-CTM Silica Hydride material, which has replaced up to 95% of the surface silanols with silicon-hydride (Si-H) groups. One of the …
