Topic And Role Discovery In Social Networks With Experiments On Enron And Academic Email, Andrew Mccallum, Xuerui Wang, Andrés Corrada-Emmanuel Oct 2007

Topic And Role Discovery In Social Networks With Experiments On Enron And Academic Email, Andrew Mccallum, Xuerui Wang, Andrés Corrada-Emmanuel

Andrés Corrada-Emmanuel

Previous work in social network analysis (SNA) has modeled the existence of links from one entity to another, but not the attributes such as language content or topics on those links. We present the Author-Recipient-Topic (ART) model for social network analysis, which learns topic distributions based on the direction-sensitive messages sent between entities. The model builds on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the Author-Topic (AT) model, adding the key attribute that distribution over topics is conditioned distinctly on both the sender and recipient---steering the discovery of topics according to the relationships between people. We give results on both the Enron …


Services Computing, Liang-Jie Zhang, Jia Zhang, Hong Cai May 2007

Services Computing, Liang-Jie Zhang, Jia Zhang, Hong Cai

Jia Zhang

This book bridges the gap between Business and IT services. It describes research results in Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA); business consulting methodology and utilities; and business process modeling, transformation, integration, and management. Major solution architectures, technologies and research methods are discussed in the lifecycle of services innovation research, including business componentization; services modeling, creation, realization, annotation, deployment, discovery, composition and delivery; service-to-service collaboration; and services monitoring, optimization, and management. The book provides readers with new research and solution methods to enable IT services and computing technology to better create and manage business services, which is the goal of …


Supporting Ad-Hoc Resource Sharing On The Web: A Peer-To-Peer Approach To Hypermedia Link Services, Jing Zhou, Wendy Hall, David De Roure, Vijay Dialani Apr 2007

Supporting Ad-Hoc Resource Sharing On The Web: A Peer-To-Peer Approach To Hypermedia Link Services, Jing Zhou, Wendy Hall, David De Roure, Vijay Dialani

The key element to support ad-hoc resource sharing on the Web is to discover resources of interest. The hypermedia paradigm provides a way of overlaying a set of resources with additional information in the form of links to help people find other resources. However, existing hypermedia approaches primarily develop mechanisms to enable resource sharing in a fairly static, centralized way. Recent developments in distributed computing, on the other hand, introduced peer-to-peer (P2P) computing that is notable for employing distributed resources to perform a critical function in a more dynamic and ad-hoc scenario. We investigate the feasibility and potential benefits of …


Strategies For Research About Design: A Multidisciplinary Graduate Workshop, Mary Shaw, Susan Finger, Mark Gross, James Herbsleb Mar 2007

Strategies For Research About Design: A Multidisciplinary Graduate Workshop, Mary Shaw, Susan Finger, Mark Gross, James Herbsleb

Mary Shaw

We are developing a graduate curriculum and summer workshop on design research intended to prepare graduate students to do research about the nature of design or research about a class of designs, including concepts, models, and methods for that class. We expect our workshop to advance the science of design of softwareintensive systems by creating a open community of design researchers, both in software design and in related disciplines, who are knowledgeable about design and design research methods and who are interested in advancing the field. The curriculum will create a common basis for discussion and identify core material to …


On The Size Of Succinct Indices, Alexander Golynski, Ankur Gupta, Roberto Grossi, Rajeev Raman, Satti Rao Dec 2006

On The Size Of Succinct Indices, Alexander Golynski, Ankur Gupta, Roberto Grossi, Rajeev Raman, Satti Rao

Ankur Gupta

A succinct data structure occupies an amount of space that is close to the information-theoretic minimum plus an additional term. The latter is not necessarily a lower-order term and, in several cases, completely dominates the space occupancy both in theory and in practice. In this paper, we present several solutions to partially overcome this problem, introducing new techniques of independent interest that allow us to improve over previously known upper and lower bounds.
