  2. Agenda • Search and Semantic Infrastructure • Elements /Rich Dynamic Results • Different Environments • Design Issues • Platform for Information Applications • Multiple Applications • Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment • Case Study – Taxonomy Development • Case Study – Expertise & Sentiment • Conclusions

  3. A Semantic Infrastructure Approach to Search:Elements • Multiple Knowledge Structures • Facet – orthogonal dimension of metadata • Taxonomy - Subject matter / aboutness • Ontology – Relationships / Facts • Subject – Verb - Object • Software - Search, ECM, auto-categorization, entity extraction, Text Analytics and Text Mining • People – tagging, evaluating tags, fine tune rules and taxonomy • People – Users, social tagging, suggestions • Rich Search Results – context and conversation

  4. A Semantic Infrastructure Approach to Search:Rich Results • Elements • Faceted Navigation • Categorization – metadata and/or dynamic • Tag Clouds – clustering • User Tags, personalization • Related topics – discovery • Supports all manner of search behaviors and needs • Find known items – zero in with facets • Discovery – Tags clouds, user tags, related topics • Deep dive - categorization

  5. A Semantic Infrastructure Approach to Search: Three Environments • E-Commerce • Catalogs, small uniform collections of entities • Conflict of information and Selling • Uniform behavior – buy this • Enterprise • More content, more types of content • Enterprise Tools – Search, ECM • Publishing Process – tagging, metadata standards • Internet • Wildly different amount and type of content, no taggers • General Purpose – Flickr, Yahoo • Vertical Portal – selected content, no taggers

  6. A Semantic Infrastructure Approach to Search: Enterprise Environment –Taxonomy, 7 facets • Taxonomy of Subjects / Disciplines: • Science > Marine Science > Marine microbiology > Marine toxins • Facets: • Organization > Division > Group • Clients > Federal > EPA • Instruments > Environmental Testing > Ocean Analysis > Vehicle • Facilities > Division > Location > Building X • Methods > Social > Population Study • Materials > Compounds > Chemicals • Content Type – Knowledge Asset > Proposals

  7. A Semantic Infrastructure Approach to Search: Internet Design • Subject Matter taxonomy – Business Topics • Finance > Currency > Exchange Rates • Facets • Location > Western World > United States • People – Alphabetical and/or Topical - Organization • Organization > Corporation > Car Manufacturing > Ford • Date – Absolute or range (1-1-01 to 1-1-08, last 30 days) • Publisher – Alphabetical and/or Topical – Organization • Content Type – list – newspapers, financial reports, etc.

  8. Rich Search ResultsDesign Issues - General • What is the right combination of elements? • Faceted navigation, metadata, browse, search, categorized search results, file plan • What is the right balance of elements? • Dominant dimension or equal facets • Browse topics and filter by facet • When to combine search, topics, and facets? • Search first and then filter by topics / facet • Browse/facet front end with a search box

  9. Rich Search ResultsDesign Issues - General • Homogeneity of Audience and Content • Model of the Domain – broad • How many facets do you need? • More facets and let users decide • Allow for customization – can’t define a single set • User Analysis – tasks, labeling, communities • Issue – labels that people use to describe their business and label that they use to find information • Match the structure to domain and task • Users can understand different structures

  10. Rich Search ResultsAutomatic Facets – Special Issues • Scale requires more automated solutions • More sophisticated rules • Rules to find and populate existing metadata • Variety of types of existing metadata – Publisher, title, date • Multiple implementation Standards – Last Name, First / First Name, Last • Issue of disambiguation: • Same person, different name – Henry Ford, Mr. Ford, Henry X. Ford • Same word, different entity – Ford and Ford • Number of entities and thresholds per results set / document • Usability, audience needs • Relevance Ranking – number of entities, rank of facets

  11. Semantic Infrastructure for Search Based AppsMultiple Applications • Platform for Information Applications • Content Aggregation • Duplicate Documents – save millions! • Text Mining – BI, CI – sentiment analysis • Combine with Data Mining – disease symptoms, new • Social – Hybrid folksonomy / taxonomy / auto-metadata • Social – expertise, categorize tweets and blogs, reputation • Ontology – travel assistant – SIRI • Use your Imagination!

  12. Semantic Infrastructure for Search AppsMultiple Applications • SIRI – Travel Assistant

  13. Semantic Infrastructure for Search Apps Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment • Call Motivation • Categorization – Motivation Taxonomy • Purpose of previous calls to understand current call • Issues of scale, small size of documents, jargon, spelling • Customer Sentiment • Telecom Forums • Feature level – not just products • Issue of context - sarcasm, jargon • Knowledge Base • Categorization, Product extraction, expertise-sentiment analysis • Social Media as source for solutions

  14. Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment

  15. Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment

  16. Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment

  17. Case Study – Categorization & Sentiment

  18. Semantic Infrastructure for Search Apps Case Study – Taxonomy Development Problem – 200,000 new uncategorized documents Old taxonomy –need one that reflects change in corpus Text mining, entity extraction, categorization Content – 250,000 large documents, search logs, etc. Bottom Up- terms in documents – frequency, date, Clustering – suggested categories Clustering – chunking for editors Entity Extraction – people, organizations, Programming languages Time savings – only feasible way to scan documents Quality – important terms, co-occurring terms

  19. Case Study – Taxonomy Development

  20. Case Study – Taxonomy Development

  21. Case Study – Taxonomy Development

  22. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis • Sentiment Analysis to Expertise Analysis(KnowHow) • Know How, skills, “tacit” knowledge • No single correct categorization • Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things • Types of Animals • Those that belong to the Emperor • Embalmed Ones • Suckling Pigs • Fabulous Ones • Those that are included in this classification • Those that tremble as if they were mad • Other

  23. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – Basic Level Categories • Mid-level in a taxonomy / hierarchy • Short and easy words • Maximum distinctness and expressiveness • First level named and understood by children • Level at which most of our knowledge is organized • Levels: Superordinate – Basic – Subordinate • Mammal – Dog – Golden Retriever • Furniture – chair – kitchen chair

  24. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis • Experts prefer lower, subordinate levels • In their domain, (almost) never used superordinate • Novice prefer higher, superordinate levels • General Populace prefers basic level • Not just individuals but whole societies / communities differ in their preferred levels • Issue – artificial languages – ex. Science discipline • Issue – difference of child and adult learning – adults start with high level

  25. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis • What is basic level is context(s) dependent • Document/author expert in news health care, not research • Hybrid – simple high level taxonomy (superordinate), short words – basic, longer words – expert Plus • Develop expertise rules – similar to categorization rules • Use basic level for subject • Superordinate for general, subordinate for expert • Also contextual rules • “Tests” is general, high level • “Predictive value of tests” is lower, more expert • If terms appear in same sentence - expert

  26. Education Terms

  27. Healthcare Terms

  28. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – application areas • Taxonomy/ Ontology development /design – use basic level • User contribution • Card sorting – non-experts use superficial similarities • Survey for attributes instead of cart sorting, general structure • Develop expert and general versions/sections/synonyms • Info presentation – combine superordinate and basic • Similar to scientific – Genus – Species is official name • Text Mining • Expertise characterization of writer

  29. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – application areas • Business & Customer intelligence • General – characterize people’s expertise to add to evaluation of their comments • Combine with sentiment analysis – finer evaluation – what are experts saying, what are novices saying • Deeper research into communities, customers • Enterprise Content Management • At publish time, software automatically gives an expertise level – present to author for validation • Combine with categorization – offer tags that are suitable level of expertise

  30. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – application areas • Social Media - Community of Practice • Characterize the level of expertise in the community • Evaluate other communities expertise level • Personalize information presentation by expertise • Expertise location • Generate automatic expertise characterization based on authored documents • Expertise of people in a social network • Terrorists and bomb-making

  31. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – application areas- CoP • Basic Level • Blog • Software (Design) • Web (Design) • Linux • Javascript • Web2.0 • Google • Css • Flash • Superordinate • Music • Photography • News • Education • Business • Technology • Politics • Science • Culture

  32. Semantic Infrastructure ApplicationsExpertise Analysis – application areas-Tags • CSS • Web Design • Design • Css3 • Tutorial • Webdev • Javascript • Web • Development • Html • Jquery • html5 • Education • Technology • Resources • Teaching • Learning • Science • Web20 • Games • Interactive • Research • Tools • reference

  33. Semantic Infrastructure Approach to SearchConclusions • Semantic Infrastructure solution (people, policy, technology, semantics) and feedback is best approach • Foundation – Hybrid ECM model with text analytics, Search • Integrated Search design is essential – rich results • Subject, facets, tag clouds, etc. • Semantic Infrastructure as a platform for multiple applications • Build on infrastructure for economy and quality • Text Analytics (Entity extraction and auto-categorization) are essential • Future – new kinds of applications: • Text Mining and Data mining, research tools, sentiment • Beyond Sentiment – expertise applications • NeuroAnalytics – cognitive science meets search and more • Watson is just the start
