Abstract

In this paper we discuss the temporal aspects of indexing and classification in information systems. Basing this discussion off of the three sources of research of scheme change: of indexing: (1) analytical research on the types of scheme change and (2) empirical data on scheme change in systems and (3) evidence of cataloguer decision-making in the context of scheme change. From this general discussion we propose two constructs along which we might craft metrics to measure scheme change: collocative integrity and semantic gravity. The paper closes with a discussion of these constructs.

Temporal and frequential metric learning for time series kNN classification
AALTD'15: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Advanced Analytics and Learning on Temporal Data - Volume 1425

This work proposes a temporal and frequential metric learning framework for a time series nearest neighbor classification. For that, time series are embedded into a pairwise space where a combination function is learned based on a maximum margin ...
Image Collection Organization and Its Application to Indexing, Browsing, Summarization, and Semantic Retrieval

In this paper, we present a new framework for organizing image collections into structures that can be used for indexing, browsing, retrieval and summarization. Instead of using tree-based techniques which are not suitable for images, we develop a new ...
