Improved string matching under noisy channel conditions
Authors: Kevyn Collins-Thompson, Charles Schweizer, Susan Dumais
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Many document-based applications, including popular Web browsers, email viewers, and word processors, have a 'Find on this Page' feature that allows a user to find every occurrence of a given string in the document. If the document text being searched is derived from a noisy process such as optical character recognition (OCR), the effectiveness of typical string matching can be greatly reduced. This paper describes an enhanced string-matching algorithm for degraded text that improves recall, while keeping precision at acceptable levels. The algorithm is more general than most approximate matching algorithms and allows string-to-string edits with arbitrary costs. We develop a method for evaluating our technique and use it to examine the relative effectiveness of each sub-component of the algorithm. Of the components we varied, we find that using confidence information from the recognition process lead to the largest improvements in matching accuracy.
Genre taxonomy: A knowledge repository of communicative actions
Authors: Takeshi Yoshioka, George Herman, JoAnne Yates, Wanda Orlikowski
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2001)

We propose a genre taxonomy as a knowledge repository of communicative structures or "typified actions" enacted by organizational members. The genre taxonomy is intended to help people make sense of diverse types of communicative actions and provide ideas for improving work processes that coordinate the communication of information. It engages several features to achieve this objective. First, the genre taxonomy represents the elements of both genres and genre systems as embedded in a social context reflecting the communicative questions why, what, who, when, where, and how (5W1H). In other words, the genre taxonomy represents the purpose, content, participants, timing, location, and form of communicative action. Second, the genre taxonomy distinguishes between widely recognized genres such as a report and specific genres such as a particular company's technical report, because the difference sheds light on the context of genre use. Third, the genre taxonomy represents use and evolution of a genre over time to help people understand how a genre is used and changed by a community over time. Fourth, the genre taxonomy represents aspects of information coordination via genres, thus providing ideas for improving work processes using genres. We have constructed a prototype of such a genre taxonomy using the Process Handbook, a process knowledge repository developed at MIT. We have included both widely recognized genres such as the memo and specific genres such as those used in the Process Handbook itself. We suggest that this genre taxonomy may be useful in the innovation of new document templates or methods for communication because it helps to clarify different possible uses of similar genres and explicates how genres play a coordination role among people and between people and their tasks.
Browsing image databases with Galois' lattices
Authors: Jose Martinez, Erwan Loisant
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We divide image querying paradigms into three categories: formal querying, interactive search, and browsing. The first two paradigms have been largely investigated in the literature, whereas the last one has not been as much studied. We propose a browsing technique based on concept lattices. The result is a kind of hypertext of images that mixes classification and visualisation issues in a high-dimensionnality space.

A Small Matter of Programming: Perspectives on End User Computing, 1st edition
Authors: Bonnie A. Nardi
Venue:  (1993)

:A Small Matter of Programming asks why it has been so difficult for end users to command programming power and explores the problems of end-user-driven application development that must be solved to afford end users greater computational power. Drawing on empirical research on existing end user systems, the book analyzes cognitive, social, and technical issues of end user programming. In particular, it examines the importance of task-specific programming languages, visual application frameworks, and collaborative work practices for end user computing with the goal of helping the designers and programmers understand and better satisfy the needs of end users who want the capability to create, customize, and extend their applications software. The ideas in the book are based on the author's research on two successful end user programming systems - spreadsheets and CAD systems - as well as other empirical research. Nardi concentrates on broad issues in end user programming, especially end users' strengths and problems, introducing tools and techniques as they are related to higher-level user issues.

Groupware and the simulation consultant
Authors: Simon J. E. Taylor
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper recognises that good communication and interaction are key factors to the success of a simulation project and suggests that groupware technology can increase the chances of success. To underline this, the paper reviews the process of simulation to illustrate the amount of communication and interaction that must take place during a simulation project. The paper then discusses computer supported cooperative work and groupware, a research field and information technology that has successfully supported communication and interaction in other industries. To illustrate how groupware may by used by the simulation consultant, net-conferencing, exemplified by Microsoft's NetMeeting, is presented. The paper ends with some observations on the future of these applications in simulation modelling.

Techniques for simulating difficutl queueing problems: adaptive importance sampling simulation of queueing networks
Authors: Pieter-Tjerk de Boer, Victor F. Nicola, Reuven Y. Rubinstein
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (overflow) probabilities in Jackson queueing networks using importance sampling. The method differs in two ways from methods discussed in most earlier literature: the change of measure is state-dependent, i.e., it is a function of the content of the buffers, and the change of measure is determined using a cross-entropy-based adaptive procedure. This method yields asymptotically efficient estimation of overflow probabilities of queueing models for which it has been shown that methods using a state-independent change of measure are not asymptotically efficient. Numerical results demonstrating the effectiveness of the method are presented as well.

Granular networks and granular computing
Venue: New learning paradigms in soft computing (2002)

The study is concerned with the fundamentals of granular computing and its application to neural networks. Granular computing, as the name itself stipulates, deals with representing information in the forms of some aggregates (embracing a number of individual entities) and their ensuing processing. We elaborate on the rationale behind granular computing. Next, a number of formal frameworks of information granulation are discussed including several alternatives such as fuzzy sets, internal analysis, rough sets, and probability. The notion of granularity itself is defined and quantified. A design agenda of granular computing is formulated and the key design problems are raised. A number of granular architectures are also discussed with an objective of dealinating the fundamental algorithmic and conceptual challenges. It is shown that the use of information granules of different size (granularity) lends itself to general pyramid architectures of information processing. The role of encoding and decoding mechanisms visible in this setting is also discussed in detail along with some particular solutions. Neural networks are primarily involved at the level of numeric optimization. Granularity of information introduces another dimension to the neurocomputing. We discuss the role of granular constructs in the design of neural networks and knowledge representation therein. The intent of this paper is to elaborate on the fundamentals and put the entire area in a certain perspective while not moving into specific algorithmic details.
