Today, full-texts of scientific articles are often stored in different locations than the used datasets. Dataset registries aim at a closer integration by making datasets citable but authors typically refer to datasets using inconsistent abbreviations and heterogeneous metadata (e.g. title, publication year). It is thus hard to reproduce research results, to access datasets for further analysis, and to determine the impact of a dataset. Manually detecting references to datasets in scientific articles is time-consuming and requires expert knowledge in the underlying research domain.We propose and evaluate a semi-automatic three-step approach for finding explicit references to datasets in social sciences articles.We first extract pre-defined special features from dataset titles in the da|ra registry, then detect references to datasets using the extracted features, and finally match the references found with corresponding dataset titles. The approach does not require a corpus of articles (avoiding the cold start problem) and performs well on a test corpus. We achieved an F-measure of 0.84 for detecting references in full-texts and an F-measure of 0.83 for finding correct matches of detected references in the da|ra dataset registry.
Sahami2006 suggest a similarity function based on query expansion @cite_5 . Their algorithm determines the degree of semantic similarity between two phrases. Each of these phrases is searched by an online search engine and then expanded by using returned documents. Afterwards, the new phrases are used for computing similarity.

In Semantic Textual Similarity (STS), systems rate the degree of semantic equivalence, on a graded scale from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most similar. This year we set up two tasks: (i) a core task (CORE), and (ii) a typed-similarity task (TYPED). CORE is similar in set up to SemEval STS 2012 task with pairs of sentences from sources related to those of 2012, yet different in genre from the 2012 set, namely, this year we included newswire headlines, machine translation evaluation datasets and multiple lexical resource glossed sets. TYPED, on the other hand, is novel and tries to characterize why two items are deemed similar, using cultural heritage items which are described with metadata such as title, author or description. Several types of similarity have been defined, including similar author, similar time period or similar location. The annotation for both tasks leverages crowdsourcing, with relative high interannotator correlation, ranging from 62 to 87 . The CORE task attracted 34 participants with 89 runs, and the TYPED task attracted 6 teams with 14 runs. We present an approach for the construction of text similarity functions using a parameterized resemblance coefficient in combination with a softened cardinality function called soft cardinality. Our approach provides a consistent and recursive model, varying levels of granularity from sentences to characters. Therefore, our model was used to compare sentences divided into words, and in turn, words divided into q-grams of characters. Experimentally, we observed that a performance correlation function in a space defined by all parameters was relatively smooth and had a single maximum achievable by "hill climbing." Our approach used only surface text information, a stop-word remover, and a stemmer to tackle the semantic text similarity task 6 at SEMEVAL 2012. The proposed method ranked 3rd (average), 5th (normalized correlation), and 15th (aggregated correlation) among 89 systems submitted by 31 teams. Common diculties like the cold-start problem and a lack of sucient information about users due to their limited interactions have been major challenges for most recommender systems (RS). To overcome these challenges and many similar ones that result in low accuracy (precision and recall) recommendations, we propose a novel system that extracts semantically-related search keywords based on the aggregate behavioral data of many users. These semantically-related search keywords can be used to substantially increase the amount of knowledge about a specic user’s interests based upon even a few searches and thus improve the accuracy of the RS. The proposed system is capable of mining aggregate user search logs to discover semantic relationships between key phrases in a manner that is language agnostic, human understandable, and virtually noise-free. These semantically related keywords are obtained by looking at the links between queries of similar users which, we believe, represent a largely untapped source for discovering latent semantic relationships between search terms. Observing that Semantic features learned in an image classification task and Appearance features learned in a similarity matching task complement each other, we build a twofold Siamese network, named SA-Siam, for real-time object tracking. SA-Siam is composed of a semantic branch and an appearance branch. Each branch is a similarity-learning Siamese network. An important design choice in SA-Siam is to separately train the two branches to keep the heterogeneity of the two types of features. In addition, we propose a channel attention mechanism for the semantic branch. Channel-wise weights are computed according to the channel activations around the target position. While the inherited architecture from SiamFC SiamFC allows our tracker to operate beyond real-time, the twofold design and the attention mechanism significantly improve the tracking performance. The proposed SA-Siam outperforms all other real-time trackers by a large margin on OTB-2013 50 100 benchmarks.
