Clinical pathways are a fixed list of viewpoints todescribe patients' condition. An outcome of a clinical pathwayconsists of several assessments of observation items andinspection items, all of which represented as numerical data. Onthe other hand, free description medical records in the SOAPformat are valuable data that indicate health care worker'sassessments. Standardization of textual description...
Individual opinions and experiences are published in Web as CGM (consumer generated media). A tourism blog which a tourist wrote his experience and impression in a certain area is very helpful information for other tourists. However, a user cannot obtain such precious information without knowing the relation of blog articles and concrete place-names. We paid our attention to the hierarchical structure...
It is not so simple to get an appropriated level of search result among a large number of targets which might be too general or too specific. Hints for the query are valuable for a user to expand or shrink his next search step, if the hints would be shown with their levels compared with the user's original query. This paper proposes a method to extract feature words of the same level as user's query...
Blog articles by tourists contain interesting and personal experiences of where and how they have gone, what they have done and what they thought. Such individual experiences are helpful in many cases compared to the general and official information about the tourist resort by tourist agents. However, it is not easy to choose related articles and to extract still more nearly required information from...
As the amount of web pages increase, identifying and retrieving distinct contents from the web has increasingly become more and more difficult. The traditional approach for extracting data from web page documents is to analyze the DOM (Document Object Model) structure of a HTML page and find a common pattern. However, the number of possible DOM layout patterns is virtually infinite, which means that...
When starting new research or summarizing the results of research, it is necessary to review related work in the same research field. The research review requires several point of views such as ``problem'', ``method'', ``result''. Simple search by keywords is not effective to specify and narrow-down the scope of search for these meta purpose. In this paper, we focus on sentences to improve the efficiency...
The bootstrapping method is known as an application of the Page-rank technique for documents and words. The technique calculates the score of the words by mutually propagating the score of the words and the documents. However, sometimes the result is far away from the initial query word. The problem is known as gtopic drifth. This paper proposes to restrict the words to be to the top t words in...
Identifying research trends is an integral part of the planning phase of academic research and can be a daunting task for those not familiar with the process. This paper proposes the use of the Milky Way search engine to assist novice students who are beginning to undertake research. Using data-processing and data-mining techniques with data from SciVerse Scopus, the Milky Way search engine can provide...
The prompt discovery and mining of user's reputation, opinion and complaint are becoming a hot topic in the field of search engine for Blog and Twitter. This paper proposes "Double Rank" method to analyze the search result using two viewpoints, where the polarity degree of keywords in the search results are evaluated from the viewpoints. Most previous researches concern mainly in positive...
This paper targets the students, who are just beginning to engage in research. With the data-mining technologies, using the data of KAKEN (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research of Japan), according to students' learning styles and learners' knowledge levels, we propose to create a "Learning by Searching" search engine to provide suitable knowledge and help students to master research trends...
A wrapper is a program that selectively extracts a necessary part (component) from Web pages. Automatic or semi-automatic wrapper construction is crucial to achieve a fine grained search engine for Web pages. However, this is not an easy task to achieve. This paper proposes a component-based search engine in which the content components gain a high score in the search results. Thus, the required segments...
Association mining is widely used in pattern discovery. For large scale financial textual data analysis, however, association mining is relatively less applied due to low efficiency in text manipulation. This paper presents a fast finance textual mining system, based on search engine and concept graph, for large scale financial textual association mining and visualization. Through the experiments...
