Information services for novelty mining

Abstract

AbstractInformation services facilitate users to exploit applications over the network and access them from the remote system at the client side. In this paper, we describe the design and development of information services for novelty mining, which allows users to access the novel yet relevant information of a given topic. Several methodologies regarding novelty mining such as novelty scoring, novelty threshold, novelty feedback, and document-to-sentence technique are described. In addition to Web services, mobile information services are also described. Modelling and implementing information services for novelty mining are especially useful for users to reduce their information overload. We describe the challenging issue of decomposing the complex novelty mining application into several smaller and simpler modules, which are later implemented as services on the Web as well as mobile devices. After deploying our information services for novelty mining, test cases are provided to demonstrate the system. Our information services for novelty mining are confirmed to be helpful in increasing the efficiency of enterprise users in gathering novel information from incoming text. By studying the design and development of information services for novelty mining, we can benefit other developers in investigating effective techniques for developing enterprise services for other real-world applications.
