An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Sugumaran, V., & Meziane, F. (2009, December). An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies. Presented at 8th workshop on EBusiness (WEB2009),, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

The web is the world’s most valuable information resource. However, a wide gap has emerged between the information available for software applications vis-à-vis human consumption. In response to this problem, new research initiatives have focused on... Read More about An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies.

Dataset selection for training one-class support vector machines (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., & Maguire, L. (2009, December). Dataset selection for training one-class support vector machines. Presented at International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Software Engineering, Wuhan, China

This paper proposes an efficient training strategy for one-class support vector machines. The strategy exploits the feature of a trained one-class SVM which uses points only residing on the exterior region of data distribution as support vectors. Thu...
