    Zhang Pengyi,Zhou Xiang,Wang Jun
    2016, 32 (3): 1-7.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.01

    [Objective] This research aims to identify shopping tasks from product search, and then analyze the characteristic of multi-task sessions. [Methods] Using the product classification of Taobao, and a list of manually selected product terms, we identified online shopping tasks based on query terms from 19 704 search sessions by 2 754 users. [Results] First, factors influence the number of queries per shopping task: product characteristics, the amount of available products, and the difficulty in describing product category with query terms. Second, we found that in sessions with a major task, the relationship among the shopping tasks is closer. [Limitations] The task identification method based on query terms cannot completely describe the complex consumer shopping behaviors. [Conclusions] This study provides an exploratory understanding of the relationships among various shopping tasks, and may be used to improve product recommendation algorithm, as well as predict shopping behaviors.

    2016, 32 (3): 8-17.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.02

    [Objective] This study aims to identify the key nodes of public opinion spread and evolution based on the semantic social network model. [Methods] We first built model for Weibo semantic social network with the help of hypernetwork theory, and then used emotion Ontology and LDA model to quantify nodes. Finally, we established the hyper edge sorting algorithm to identify the key nodes. [Results] The proposed model could effectively and acturately quantify those nodes from real Weibo data. [Limitations] We did not explore the results of the proposed method’s real-time performance, and new ways of leading the public opinion after identifying those key nodes. [Conclusions] This study provides a solution for the government to identify the key nodes in the social network systems, and then reduce the impacts of negative contents to the healthy development of the Internet.

    2016, 32 (3): 18-24.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.03

    [Objective] This study aims to explore the relationship between the user tags and microblog post topics, with the purpose of improving subject identification and automatic tag recommendation services. [Methods] We first used crawlers to retrieve user profiles and posts in the field of “natural language processing” from the Sina Weibo. Second, extracted words from the posts and semantically extended user tags. Finally, matched the tags and posts by the edit distance algorithm. [Results] There was correlation between user tags and posts in natural language processing field. [Limitations] We only studied one academic field and the Sina Weibo, more research is needed in the future to generalize the results. [Conclusions] The tag recommendation system can use microblog posts as an important source to provide more personalized services, which in turn will improve the microblog content analysis.

    Xia Tian
    2016, 32 (3): 25-32.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.04

    [Objective] Generate hierarchical semantic paths of texts from Wikipedia. [Methods] We first establish article concept vector of Chinese texts from Wikipedia through explicit semantic analysis. And then, we mapped the vector to the category nodes of hierarchical-tree-like graph. Finally, we generated the hierarchical paths with the help of seed node information diffusion and top-down path selection, as well as optimization technology. [Results] The average relevance degree of the first generated hierarchical path was 54.10% on the test dataset, and the top 20 paths were sorted by relevance in the descending order. [Limitations] We did not analyze the effect of using different numbers of explicit concept vector to the quality of the generated path. [Conclusions] The hierarchical paths generated from Wikipedia can reflect the main semantic meaning of the given texts.

    Gao Nan,Fu Junying,Zhao Yunhua
    2016, 32 (3): 33-40.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.05

    [Objective] This study aims to identify the research trends (RT) based on patent bibliographic coupling method with the help of similarity algorithms. [Methods] We first established two types of patent similarity matrixes with two similarity algorithms - observed value (OV-BCA) and cosine distance (CD-BCA). We then used social network analysis to get the RT of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Patents. [Results] Six BCI research trend clusters were retrieved by OV-BCA algorithm, while CD-BCA algorithm got nine RT clusters. The two algorithms’ family ID coincidence rates were 43%. [Limitations] We focused on the comparison of results, including number, content and coincidence degree. More research is needed to study the characteristics of these algorithms. [Conclusions] RT can be retrieved by bibliographic coupling method with the help of the proposed algorithms. Specifically, the cosine distance algorithm can find more detailed research trends than the observed value algorithm.

    Using Linked Data to Retrieve Similar Documents from the Academic Resource Websites
    Zhao Yiping,Bi Qiang
    2016, 32 (3): 41-49.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2016.03.06

    [Objective] This paper studied the linked data from the Web, which is machine-readable, semantically meaningful and relationally descriptive. We examined these data’s effectiveness to improve the information organization of the academic resource websites (ARWs), with the purpose of retrieving more similar documents. [Methods] We first calculated the similarity of documents published in the ARWs with the help of the Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) method. Then, chose documents with high similarities by the Hierarchical Cluster method, and created a document relation matrix. Finally, we used the dynamic document technology to generate a linked data index to search the ARWs. [Results] We built a preliminary ARWs linked data index, which helped us find similar documents more effectively from the ARWs. [Limitations] We investigated the similar documents retrieval technology from the perspective of statistical analysis. Therefore, further research is needed to locate similar documents from various subject areas with the support of deep learning technology. [Conclusions] We computed documents’ similarity using LSA method to discover related documents of specific articles. The linked data could help us find more similar documents, while reducing the waiting time for similarity calculation.
