Semantic Word Clouds with Background Corpus Normalization and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding

1 code implementation11 Aug 2017 Erich Schubert, Andreas Spitz, Michael Weiler, Johanna Geiß, Michael Gertz

We then select keywords based on their significance and construct the word cloud based on the derived affinity.

Word Embeddings for Entity-annotated Texts

1 code implementation6 Feb 2019 Satya Almasian, Andreas Spitz, Michael Gertz

We discuss two distinct approaches to the generation of such embeddings, namely the training of state-of-the-art embeddings on raw-text and annotated versions of the corpus, as well as node embeddings of a co-occurrence graph representation of the annotated corpus.

Mind Your Bias: A Critical Review of Bias Detection Methods for Contextual Language Models

1 code implementation15 Nov 2022 Silke Husse, Andreas Spitz

The awareness and mitigation of biases are of fundamental importance for the fair and transparent use of contextual language models, yet they crucially depend on the accurate detection of biases as a precursor.

United States Politicians' Tone Became More Negative with 2016 Primary Campaigns

1 code implementation17 Jul 2022 Jonathan Külz, Andreas Spitz, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Stephan Günnemann, Robert West

There is a widespread belief that the tone of US political language has become more negative recently, in particular when Donald Trump entered politics.

Strong Heuristics for Named Entity Linking

1 code implementation NAACL (ACL) 2022 Marko Čuljak, Andreas Spitz, Robert West, Akhil Arora

Named entity linking (NEL) in news is a challenging endeavour due to the frequency of unseen and emerging entities, which necessitates the use of unsupervised or zero-shot methods.

HeidelPlace: An Extensible Framework for Geoparsing

no code implementations EMNLP 2017 Ludwig Richter, Johanna Gei{\ss}, Andreas Spitz, Michael Gertz

Geographic information extraction from textual data sources, called geoparsing, is a key task in text processing and central to subsequent spatial analysis approaches.

Retrieving Multi-Entity Associations: An Evaluation of Combination Modes for Word Embeddings

no code implementations22 May 2019 Gloria Feher, Andreas Spitz, Michael Gertz

Word embeddings have gained significant attention as learnable representations of semantic relations between words, and have been shown to improve upon the results of traditional word representations.

TopExNet: Entity-Centric Network Topic Exploration in News Streams

no code implementations29 May 2019 Andreas Spitz, Satya Almasian, Michael Gertz

The recent introduction of entity-centric implicit network representations of unstructured text offers novel ways for exploring entity relations in document collections and streams efficiently and interactively.

IM-META: Influence Maximization Using Node Metadata in Networks With Unknown Topology

no code implementations5 Jun 2021 Cong Tran, Won-Yong Shin, Andreas Spitz

Since the structure of complex networks is often unknown, we may identify the most influential seed nodes by exploring only a part of the underlying network, given a small budget for node queries.

Quote Erat Demonstrandum: A Web Interface for Exploring the Quotebank Corpus

no code implementations7 Jul 2022 Vuk Vuković, Akhil Arora, Huan-Cheng Chang, Andreas Spitz, Robert West
