  <description><![CDATA[Various aspects of a Web service may require description. This includes its constraints (e.g., "You must use HTTP Authentication when accessing this service") and its capabilities (e.g., "I can support GZIP compression"). Likewise, clients accessing Web services have constraints and capabilities of their own to consider when accessing services.

Many such aspects are typically associated with a number of orthogonal problem domains; for example, it may be desirable to describe constraints an...]]></description>

In the larger context of machine learning, less is understood about both unsupervised and generative models, but Generative Adversarial Networks have emerged as a promising approach to making progress in that direction.

The first is that text and multimedia objects on the Web are easy for people to understand but difficult for machines to interpret and use.

Tables are an integral part of documents, reports and Web pages in many scientific and technical domains, compactly encoding important information that can be difficult to express in text. Table-like structures outside documents, such as spreadsheets, CSV files, log files and databases, are widely used to represent and share information. However, tables remain beyond the scope of regular text processing systems which often treat them like free text.

Lushan Han

Developing interfaces to enable casual, non-expert users to query complex structured data has been the subject of much research over the past forty years. We refer to them as as schema-free query interfaces, since they allow users to freely query data without understanding its schema, knowing how to refer to objects, or mastering the appropriate formal query language. Schema-free query interfaces address fundamental problems in natural la...]]></description>

Today, MSC information, which is typically published either on the supplier’s web site or registered at an e-marketplace portal, has been shown to fall short of the interoperability and accuracy requirements. This issue can be addressed by annotating the MSC information using shared ontologies. However, ontology-based approach...]]></description>

Compromising a user's social media account is not only a breach of security, but can also lead to dissemination of misinformation at a fast pace on social media. There have been several such high profile attacks recently, including on Twitter feeds of AP, CBS, and Delta Airlines.

The proposed framework uses text analytics to extract clinical entities from electronic health records and semantic web analytics to generate a domain specific knowledge base (KB) of patients’ clinical facts. Clinical Rules expressed in the Semantic Web Language OWL are used to reason over the KB to infer additional facts about the patient. The KB is then queried to provide...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[As the Semantic Web gains attention as the next generation of the Web, the issue of reconciling different views of independently developed and exposed data sources becomes increasingly important. Ontology integration serves as a basis for solving this problem. In this paper, we describe an approach to construct a consensus ontology from numerous, independently designed ontologies.

Our method has the following features: i) the matching is carried out at the schema level; ii) the alignment o...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[David Sifry's latest quarterly report on the state of the Blogosphere states that ``the size of the Blogosphere continues to double every six months". According to this report there are 33.5 million weblogs and many of these are actively posting. As the Blogosphere continues to grow, finding good quality feeds is becoming increasingly difficult. In this paper we present an analysis of the feeds subscribed by a set of publicly listed Bloglines users. Using the subscription information, we desc...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The software agents paradigm has received considerable research but has not yet found broad application. The vision is still sound and will be re-invigorated by two new developments: semantic web languages, which provide stronger knowledge sharing technology, and the emergence of pervasive computing environments, whose requirements match the strengths of multiagent systems.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Presentation slides used in Harry Chen's PhD dissertation defense.

Context-aware systems exploit the use of situational information, or context, to provide relevant information and services to users. A great challenge remains in defining an architecture that supports context-aware systems. Critical research issues include modeling and reasoning (how to represent contextual information for machine processing and reasoning), knowledge sharing (how to enable agents to acquire consistent knowl...]]></description>

To address the difficult but important problem of modeling uncertainty in semantic web, this research has taken a probabilistic approach and developed a theoretical framework, named BayesOWL, that incorporates the Bayesian network (BN), a widely used graphic model for probabilistic interdependency, into the web ontology language OWL. This framework consists of three key components:
