MAKE is loaded with exciting DIY projects and how-tos that help you make the most of the technology in your life. This is a magazine, website, and community that celebrates your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your own will.
Following a successful first edition, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Large Scale Hierarchical Text Classification (LSHTC) Pascal Challenge. The LSHTC Challenge is a hierarchical text classification competition, using large datasets. This year’s challenge will increase the scale and the difficulty of the task, using data from Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), in addition to the ODP Web directory data (www.dmoz.org).
A Wiki website of Calls For Papers (CFP) of international conferences, workshops, meetings, seminars, events, journals and book chapters in computer science, communications, software engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, networking, signal processing, systems etc.
TIR 2010
7th International Workshop on Text-based Information Retrieval
in conjunction with DEXA 2010
University of Deusto
Bilbao, Spain
30 August - 3 September 2010
The idea of the proposed symposium is to challenge linguists both to re-think the concept of synonymy and sameness, as opposed to the similarity, of linguistic expressions and to approach the concept of synonymy from a broader perspective. We welcome contributions addressing the concept of synonymy from various perspectives and backgrounds (including theoretical, empirical and experimental approaches), ranging from studies of lexical, functional and formal synonymy to studies of synonymy within and across languages
This workshop will gather researchers in a variety of fields that contribute to the automated construction of knowledge bases. It will be held at Xerox Research Centre Europe, near Grenoble (France), May 17-19, 2010.
The Web was originally invented with the physics community in mind, but rapidly expanded to include other scientific disciplines, in particular the health care and life sciences. By the mid 1990s the Web was already being used to share data by biomedical professionals and bioinformaticians. The Web continues to be immensely important to these fields, however use cases have expanded considerably. Researchers are now looking to share extremely large data sets on the Web, extract insights from vast numbers of papers cross sub-disciplines, and use social networking tools to identify potential collaborators, aggregate data and engage in scientific discussion. Furthermore, individuals are beginning to store their medical records online, and some are sharing their genetic makeup in a bid to find others with a similar profile. These use cases are pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible with the Web. This workshop will present how scientists are currently using the Web, and discuss the functionality that is required to make the Web an ideal platform for both cutting edge scientific collaboration and for managing health care and life science related data.
The workshop aims at providing a forum for discussing the application of different aspects of ontologies to enhance Model Driven Engineering (MDE) or Model-driven software development (MDSD). More specifically, the objectives of the workshop are: To present success cases of integrated approaches; To present state-of-the-art researches covering ontologies in MDE; To encourage the modeling community to explore different aspects of ontologies like validation, verification and dynamic classification; To promote the demonstration of MDE tools using ontologies.
In summer 2009, I attended the Advanced Mathematica Summer School at Wolfram Research. While there, I began to develop some course materials, demonstrations, and labs for our Math 2420 Differential Equations course. I am still working on much of this material, but will start posting it here as I begin to get it whipped into shape.
The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas between different research communities to enable the design of tools for creation, analysis and visualization of complex information networks. The workshop focuses especially on researchers that are working on methods for representation of complex knowledge resources, (dynamic) data analysis methods, semantic networks, and visualization methods as well as user interface design.
