** still have problems with pdftohtml -c creating files with garbage symbols.  Not sure how do deal with this.

- In SIGIR '03
- highlighted, printed and filed
- related to plagiarism detection, webpage similarity, corpus verification, PARCELS.

Simple repetition of text substrings for plagiarism and duplicate detection. The formula involves computing a concatenated suffix array for an entire set of documents. The idea is to use not only the single longest common substring but a sum of the longest common substrings across all prefixes of a target document.

The R measure is apparently good not just for duplicate detection but also for authorship detection in the test corpora demonstrated in their paper.

To think about: how to adapt this measure to have an effective (and speedy) tool for web page fragment classification and classification.

It's a reading day!! Hooray!

printed out most related work on alignment.
going to read them now -- wow mostly are from Japan on the PRESRI system, it seems.

It's still surprisingly hard to find relevant papers, even for this project.  Gotta think about how to find appropriate venues for searching.

Let's see (I should really dump these to citeulike but I'm not going to bother):

* Automatic Slide Generation Based on Discourse Structure Analysis (IJCNLP 2005) - Shibata, Kurohashi: deep nlp on raw text (not necessarily scholarly texts) - discourse analysis (intra, inter sentence).  It's really summarization since they just simply split the resulting text into multiple slides after every 12th line.
* Automatic Slide Presentation from Semantically Annotated Documents: Utiyama, Hasida (ACL Coref workshop) - uses Global Document Annotation tags (GDA)  GDA approximates today's task of semantic role labeling.  Uses topic detection by non-stopword bigrams and frequency threshold of 2.  Then use spreading activation to the network (syntactic stuff represents links).  Slide generation is a bit more interesting.  Namely, they use redundancy removal and coref pronomalization and other editing to make the slide more fluent.

Note that both of these approaches don't explicitly use corpus information which we are.

Genre detection:
* Automatic Detection of Survey Articles (ECDL 05)- Nanba, Okumura: use pHITS plus text features such as title word, cue phrases, and their own citation types.  Best non pHITS features are cue and title words.

Hmm, how about alignment itself?  Let's start with slide/paper.  Note that Hayama et al. reference quite a bit of other work but all of it is in Japanese.  Help!

* ''gotta read this one again!'' Alignment between a Techinical Paper and Presentation Sheets Using a Hidden Markov Model - Hayama, Nanba and Kunifuji (AMT 05): Improves Jing's model by using content analysis.  They observe three problems with Jing's model: 1&2) deleted and added words cause problems for HMM (this was observed by Jing herself; see summary below), 3) Similar word sequences happen very often in slides, causing problems with prob estimation using Jing's heuristic rules.  They improve the approach by:
** degree of alignment: using the slide as a whole bag of words rather than as a word sequence.  this is a good idea, similar to doing simple vsm (only on the slide side though).
** considering match sequence length: a longer sentence match should match better.  I think this is better encoded as an alignment gap penalty, something like affine gaps.
** alignment using position gaps: their position gap constraint is a bit like our diagonal constraint.  I wonder whether it helped much.
** using heuristic rules for titles: title words get a bonus.
However in the end, they only get a minute improvement, over 49 presentation/document pairs.
* Detection and Resolution of References to Meeting Documents - Popescu-Belis and Lalanne (MLMI 05): using anaphora resolution to do alignment.  not much said here that really links their technique to performance.  Gotta go read their ICDAR 2005 paper and their CIKM 2004 paper.
* Using a Bi-modal Alignment and Clustering Techniques for Documents and Speech Thematic Segmentation: Mekhaldi, Lalanne and Ingold (CIKM 04): they are actuall considering the opposite problem - ''improving'' theme segmentation (a la TextTiling) using bi modal alignment information.  They do single modality thematic segmentation first, then do similarity calculation across //nm// units Note that their segmentation is done simultaneously across both media.  Then clustering via k means and reprojection to each single media.

And for abstract to paper?

* Using Hidden Markov Modeling to Decompose human-Written Summaries - Jing (CL 02): (according to Hayama et al): generates a HMM from the word sequence in the summary to predict the position / occurrence of corresponding word in the source document.  Only considers lexically identical words.  Considers 6 possible alignments, giving higher probability to heuristically more plausible alignment.  1) same sentence, adjacent word, 2&3) same sentence, but next or back words, 4) within window of next sentence, 5) within window of back sentence 6) otherwise.  Problems with inserted words (corrected by postediting phase, section 3.4) by finding isolated words that have been misaligned.

* SpectralClustering - one problem here is that it assumes no direction, doesn't (naturally) model the fact that the paper is the source of the presentation.
* JumpAndRewrite - PBHMM phrase based HMM by Daume and Marcu; Jing 

Implementations so far:

* text sim methods implemented: jaccard, bigram + unigram jaccard, bigram only jaccard, cosine with only TF, unigram
* align methods: jing with majority rounding, max.
* mmStats: records relative jump probabilities including na probabilities as in daume + marcu's work

Implementation must also handle non-aligned slides.

* Example
* Slides at the end of a presentation, backups
* Outline slides
* Conclusion and question slides.

- Relevant to: Known Item queries, query rewriting
- Printed and Filed
- Available at: LINC

This paper goes into historical detail on past query retrieval studies on known items.  Kilgour investigates known-item query studies from the era of card catalogs.  Some notable results distilled from this survey of earlier work includes facts useful for our current study of known item queries: Tagliacozza et al. (1970) notes that users had a higher likelihood of having correct title information rather than correct author information.  Also that title searches are more common in today's OPAC than in the older card catalog systems, although I concur with Kilgour that this is largely an artifact of only having limited title entries in the card catalog system.

contributions
* create an evaluation measure for domain template extraction 

1. verb centric: starting point is to identify most important verbs using frequency based methodologies. Verb instance frequency (VIF, something like tf.idf for verbs wrt classes).  how about RF for text categorization or log odds?  
2. IR find all sent with top k (= 50) sentences and parse for syntax
3. mine out trees, looking for syntactic agent/patient.  ok, trying to recover semantic roles w/o semantic role labeler.  a bit odd.
4. generalize tags (didn't do this for verbs so its also a bit strange).  But do it for subject object and other roles in a two step procedure => 1. sub NE for general tags 2. merge frequent subtrees
5. union all tuples to form the scenario template.  ax out any that are not specific to the domain.

the template extracted have ordering constraints (because they didn't use a role labeler) and seem to consist of 2 tuples only.  they call these ''slot structures''.
 

* can we get their training and testing data sets for comparison?

Lee et al. (UCLA group)

* info vs nav only
* used cs queries originating from UCLA only (as group is most knowledgeable about own queries)
* used click distribution and anchor text distribution
** click distribution with thresh \tau = 1.5 gives 80% accuracy.  Note most misclassification occurs with info queries here).
** anchor text with thresh \tau = 1.0 gives 75% accuracy.  Note most misclassification occurs with nav queries here).
* also has summary of kang and kim's work (anchor usage rate, query term distribution and term dependence)

This directory contains scripts to start and stop the cs system as well as invoke the various daemons that run facilities for cs.

* start-citeseer
* stop-citeseer: the following three services do not stop when cs is stopped through this script.  I adjusted this script to change it to kill off queryd, rankd and dlLimiterd as well.
* queryd
* rankd
* dlLimiterd

The speedy cgi caches the perl scripts and does not (seem to) notice changes unless all of cs is shutdown.  You have to stop-citeseer and start-citeseer for changes in binDirectory or libDirecotry to be reflected.

problem with ptb trees being n trees and arguments that don't exactly match
not rule binarization, but actually binarization source lang trees

have to decide which way (l/r) to do binarization, or since syntax based, try head based binarization.

their sol'n: do all binarization, save in a forest

yuck: they have forest based alignment to adapt GHKM.

better idea: find best using adapted EM

seems a bit like compensation artifact of needing to use CKY binarization constraint

Class Assocation Rules (CAR) but with min support and min confidence pruning turned off.
reason: people want to see the context of the rules
helpful in motorola case study
showed engineers want to see actionable rules = short, two to three attribute rules with trend analysis

Makes me think of limits of human perception. Bing asked us about the expressability of the hypothesis space given his rules only give about 2-3 attribute rules.  I think classic ML theory deals with hypothesis space quite well.  Am I mistaken?

Diversity versus Universality (Tsuji): sentence not as significant in Asian languages

wa, koso, sura, dake, mo (case and topic/theme marking together in one particle) => topic packing different?

Asian anaphoric ref and other discourse refs don't map well to English.  semantics of "sentence" conditional on context (more naturally occurring in CJK)

Linguistic Differences for NLP (Tsou): higher entropy. genitive construction -> ambiguity.

Corpora (Bhattacharaya): morphological mining: syncretism (exhibiting same surface form for different cases).  syncretism dealing with ambiguity / WSD.  homology.  Idea -> deal with less entropic languages first.  

(Bird): digital divide in asian languages. interesting students in native language topics.  publication quality for applications in different languages.

cs is written entirely in perl, and has a lot of legacy code.  It has been refactored into a number of perl modules, which are contained in the lib/ subdirectory.

We can look at each of these directories separately:
- BinDirectory: scripts for starting, shutting down and running maintenance on the cs system.
- DB1Directory: databases for keeping the forward and backward links used by the system. About 50 gbs or so.
- LogDirectory: logs of the searches and other things that happen (index, spidering events) in citeseer.
- LibDirectory: common perl libraries for running things in bin/.
- PapersDirectory: the bulk of cs, cached copies of all the papers it indexes that it kept. About 1.8 tbs.

To get an idea of what happens when a query is issued you might also want to look at the tiddlers that are tagged as {{{walkthrough}}}.  They walk through one screen and focus the procedure calls to get the information that are output to the screen.

Available: in paper only, LINC has some problems getting this through OpenURL
Relevant to: image classification, non-photographic image classification
Printed, highlighted, and filed.

The authors examine web image classification over a database of 300,000 images. They divide the non-image categories into presentation slides, comics/cartoons and other. Our classification for Fei's project is a bit more comprehensive but not motivated by corpus study.

The work is a machine learning feature oriented work, achieving high accuracy using simple image only (raster based) features. Colormap and proportion of the picture wrt to the colormap seems to be some of the most salient features.

For the top level photo/non-photo classification, AdaBoost was used (similar to our work) and feature pruning is inherently done through decision stump feature selection, The highlighted features show that the four features for classification include: 1) total colors 2) what is the prevalent color 3) fraction of pixels with distance > 0 (f1) and 4) ratio of of f1/f2, where f2 is similar to 3) but using a high threshold rather than zero. Surprisingly, edge detection (an expensive feature) doesn't appear to be too useful. All selected features were based on the colormap and not on the locality / placement of the pixels in the image. Dimension features were not used.

For the non-photo classification, text proves to be an important feature, and they capitalize on their group's previous research to detect text. Here, edge detection proves to be the second most useful feature after aspect ratio, which according to Table 3, accounts for over 95% accuracy. This leads me to believe that an optimized Hough transform for only vertical lines may be able to be used, to lower the complexity of the feature extraction. Also, presentation slides exported from powerpoint and others might be detectable by their embedded metadata rather than raster data properties.

Strengths:
- demonstrates that colormap features are a very strong key for non-photograph image classification.
- also does some error analysis that illustrates some borderline cases.
- uses only jpeg compressed images for their study.

Weaknesses:
- no information about the kappa or percentage agreement between assessors. It is presumed that the task is easy and 100% doable.
- 95% + accuracy in non-photograph classification only subdivides into two classes: comics vs. presentation slides.

clone can be motivated by efficiency (copy code rather than proc call which is more expensive)

* type 1 - identical
* type 2 - as given example (clones can have different identifiers but largely are structurally identical)
* type 3 - semantically sim, but syntax very diff

* Program Dependency Graph (PDG) vs. AST.

update summary task focus

lm background model building by waterloo

umd
multiple alternative sentences compressions - like fergus
using grammar as restrictor 
mmr version accounts for synonyms - use e-f-e bridge for paraphrase generation with frequency

eval
pyramids - what is included what is not good for error checking
still quite big gap between top pyramid and gaps?
some way to see which summaries really hard
d0739 - eg. really hard to id

2008 every November colo proceeding TREC (monday and tuesday)
- submissions due in summer
- held at Gaithersburg
- collab with IR researchers
- send hoa email about any related duc work just citation not pdf
- biggest change - qa comes to duc from trec
- entailment / inferencing track?

- main task dropped
- update task to become primary task, to include noisy documents in 2009
- longer sequence is really difficult because event evolution is generally short
- each cluster would still have same amount (eg 10) articles per cluster
- nist assessors to do nugget based / pyramid based annotation and scoring
- majority cost is in making 4 manual summaries

pilot task
- blogs opinions = doc is a post plus comments on it
- univ of glasgow
- clustering opinions and summarizing them
- maybe a classification task? IE task rather than summarization generation task?
- assign wangxuan to do this task?
- how to create a summary of a blog from nist? lucy asked about this.

- paul jones ibiblo 

john conroy did linear fit with responsiveness with rouge (automatic). if we improve rouge do we improve content responsiveness.

lucy: reflection on duc / post duc analysis
what differentiates work in duc vs trec?
- we do assessment without assessment pooling
- we do fluency evaluation

Transformation based dependency parsing

transform trees for the purpose of learning to better help replication.
* change prague style annotation to melcuk style annotations. melcuk style annotation gives more tree dependency encoding, which might help in learning trees.
* focus on coordination and verb groups

originated in prog language - aho 1969
2006 had some papers for nl to lf

- pruning n best list by entropy? nah - argreement, systemic syntax problems.  David says introduce syntax.
- rank3 trick from both sides? 
- get cites for synch cfg for pls.

Chaomei Chen et al. (Drexel)

information overload - find who's at the forefront of the research
accounting for the timeliness of information is the key aspect of this work
especially when dealing with large datasets as in astronomy (gray&szalay 2004) sloan digital sky survey (sdss)

ackerman study why key areas explode:
* increase in multi author paper
* presence of one or small group of seminal papers

Use '''H index''' to classify, but modify to include H_c H_t 
* where S_t measures the recent impact for relatively recent citations than earlier ones
* where S_c is adjusted for publication age

use burst detection, only looking at surface text

judging first glance relevance
needed to give relevance ratings rather than 1/0, unlimited time
result list method different when present

how many documents? 20 docs

paper: 23
result: 17 (1/5th time use just result list)
electronic folder: 28

headers and captions more useful than title - "titles can be misleading" 
conclusion works for paper but not for electronic mode, why?
figures and tables more looked at.
34% docs never scroll and looking only above the fold (1/3 of page)
64% only first page
search using ctrl-f not much
scrolling more painful with electronic mode
doc length - more negative effect on paper
"first glance <10 sec" - relevance made - other time to only confirm

q: unlimited time really correct exp setup?
q: interference in context to first glance relevance?
q: image navigation?

All cs applications have to first initialize and read the database.  After which the $did variable can be altered (e.g., set to 1 - MAXDOCS) to retrieve the hash of information for the document.

Go to 1.html of the server.  It should show the document "36 problems for semantic interpretation" by Scheler.  There are several areas of the results page:

The light blue title box, containing:
* a left hand panel:
** title
** author
** hyperlinks
* a right hand panel
** view or download
** cache links
** from (source) information

The body, containing:
* summary
* grey rating box
* abstract
* similar documents
* bibtex
* citations
* samesite
* hyperlinks about online articles
* cs credits: these are generated by the $footnote variable.

Aside from the cs credits, these are generated from the call to DocumentToHTML

DocumentToHTML calls DocumentDownloadBar as

        &DocumentDownloadBar ($hit, $param, \%SourceHTML, $sArticleLink);

then the code below is from DDB:

my $sURL = $$hit{'url'};
        if (defined $$hit{'homepages'} && $$hit{'homepages'} =~ m/\b(?:url|file)\s*=\s*(\S+)/si) {
                my $url = $1; if ($url =~ /^(http|ftp):\/\// && $url !~ /\?/) { $sURL = $url; }
                }

PSHREF is a variable that is the actual url written.  it gets a new value from the sURL variable that hits the logging facility of cs.

        my $sPSHREF = &RedirectHREF ($sURL, $param, $profile::nDownloadValue, 'Download'); # my $sPSHREF = &RedirectHREF ($sURL, \%param, 0, 'Download');
        if ($$hit{'locatedon'} !~ m/^0 /) {
            print $sPSHREF . &URLShortLinkMax ($sURL, 36) . "</a><br>\n";
        }
