Publicación Analyzing information retrieval methods to recover broken web links(2011-06-19) Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesIn this work we compare different techniques to automatically find candidate web pages to substitute broken links. We extract information from the anchor text, the content of the page containing the link, and the cache page in some digital library.The selected information is processed and submitted to a search engine. We have compared different information retrievalmethods for both, the selection of terms used to construct the queries submitted to the search engine, and the ranking of the candidate pages that it provides, in order to help the user to find the best replacement. In particular, we have used term frequencies, and a language model approach for the selection of terms; and cooccurrence measures and a language model approach for ranking the final results. To test the different methods, we have also defined a methodology which does not require the user judgments, what increases the objectivity of the results.Publicación Semi‑supervised incremental learning with few examples for discovering medical association rules(BioMed Central, 2022) Sánchez‑de‑Madariaga, Ricardo; Cantero Escribano, José Miguel; Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesBackground: Association Rules are one of the main ways to represent structural patterns underlying raw data. They represent dependencies between sets of observations contained in the data. The associations established by these rules are very useful in the medical domain, for example in the predictive health field. Classic algorithms for association rule mining give rise to huge amounts of possible rules that should be filtered in order to select those most likely to be true. Most of the proposed techniques for these tasks are unsupervised. However, the accuracy provided by unsupervised systems is limited. Conversely, resorting to annotated data for training supervised systems is expensive and time‑consuming. The purpose of this research is to design a new semi‑supervised algorithm that performs like supervised algorithms but uses an affordable amount of training data. Methods: In this work we propose a new semi‑supervised data mining model that combines unsupervised techniques (Fisher’s exact test) with limited supervision. Starting with a small seed of annotated data, the model improves results (F‑measure) obtained, using a fully supervised system (standard supervised ML algorithms). The idea is based on utilising the agreement between the predictions of the supervised system and those of the unsupervised techniques in a series of iterative steps. Results: The new semi‑supervised ML algorithm improves the results of supervised algorithms computed using the F‑measure in the task of mining medical association rules, but training with an affordable amount of manually annotated data. Conclusions: Using a small amount of annotated data (which is easily achievable) leads to results similar to those of a supervised system. The proposal may be an important step for the practical development of techniques for mining association rules and generating new valuable scientific medical knowledge.Publicación Generation of social network user profiles and their relationship with suicidal behaviour(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2024) Fernández Hernández, Jorge; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, JuanActualmente el suicidio es una de las principales causas de muerte en el mundo, por lo que poder caracterizar a personas con esta tendencia puede ayudar a prevenir posibles intentos de suicidio. En este trabajo se ha recopilado un corpus, llamado SuicidAttempt en español compuesto por usuarios con o sin menciones explícitas de intentos de suicidio, usando la aplicación de mensajería Telegram. Para cada uno de los usuarios se han anotado distintos rasgos demográficos de manera semi-automática mediante el empleo de distintos sistemas, en unos casos supervisados y en otros no supervisados. Por último se han analizado estos rasgos recogidos, junto con otros lingüísticos extraídos de los mensajes de los usuarios, para intentar caracterizar distintos grupos en base a su relación con el comportamiento suicida. Los resultados sugieren que la detección de estos rasgos demográficos y psicolingüísticos permiten caracterizar determinados grupos de riesgo y conocer en profundidad los perfiles que realizan dichos actos.Publicación Automatic Recommendation of Forum Threads and Reinforcement Activities in a Data Structure and Programming Course(MDPI, 2023-09-21) Plaza Morales, Laura; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; López Ostenero, Fernando; Martínez Romo, JuanOnline learning is quickly becoming a popular choice instead of traditional education. One of its key advantages lies in the flexibility it offers, allowing individuals to tailor their learning experiences to their unique schedules and commitments. Moreover, online learning enhances accessibility to education, breaking down geographical and economical boundaries. In this study, we propose the use of advanced natural language processing techniques to design and implement a recommender that supports e-learning students by tailoring materials and reinforcement activities to students’ needs. When a student posts a query in the course forum, our recommender system provides links to other discussion threads where related questions have been raised and additional activities to reinforce the study of topics that have been challenging. We have developed a content-based recommender that utilizes an algorithm capable of extracting key phrases, terms, and embeddings that describe the concepts in the student query and those present in other conversations and reinforcement activities with high precision. The recommender considers the similarity of the concepts extracted from the query and those covered in the course discussion forum and the exercise database to recommend the most relevant content for the student. Our results indicate that we can recommend both posts and activities with high precision (above 80%) using key phrases to represent the textual content. The primary contributions of this research are three. Firstly, it centers on a remarkably specialized and novel domain; secondly, it introduces an effective recommendation approach exclusively guided by the student’s query. Thirdly, the recommendations not only provide answers to immediate questions, but also encourage further learning through the recommendation of supplementary activities.Publicación A keyphrase-based approach for interpretable ICD-10 code classification of Spanish medical reports(Elsevier, 2021) Fabregat Marcos, Hermenegildo; Duque Fernández, Andrés; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, JuanBackground and objectives: The 10th version of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codification system has been widely adopted by the health systems of many countries, including Spain. However, manual code assignment of Electronic Health Records (EHR) is a complex and time-consuming task that requires a great amount of specialised human resources. Therefore, several machine learning approaches are being proposed to assist in the assignment task. In this work we present an alternative system for automatically recommending ICD-10 codes to be assigned to EHRs. Methods: Our proposal is based on characterising ICD-10 codes by a set of keyphrases that represent them. These keyphrases do not only include those that have literally appeared in some EHR with the considered ICD-10 codes assigned, but also others that have been obtained by a statistical process able to capture expressions that have led the annotators to assign the code. Results: The result is an information model that allows to efficiently recommend codes to a new EHR based on their textual content. We explore an approach that proves to be competitive with other state-of-the-art approaches and can be combined with them to optimise results. Conclusions: In addition to its effectiveness, the recommendations of this method are easily interpretable since the phrases in an EHR leading to recommend an ICD-10 code are known. Moreover, the keyphrases associated with each ICD-10 code can be a valuable additional source of information for other approaches, such as machine learning techniques.Publicación Experimentación basada en deep learning para el reconocimiento del alcance y disparadores de la negación(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2019) Fabregat Marcos, Hermenegildo; Araujo Serna, M.

Por último, los resultados para el reconocimiento del alcance de la negación, son similares a los obtenidos en inglés.Publicación Discovering related scientific literature beyond semantic similarity: a new co-citation approach(Springer, 2019-05-17) Rodríguez Prieto, Oscar; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, JuanWe propose a new approach to recommend scientific literature, a domain in which the efficient organization and search of information is crucial. The proposed system relies on the hypothesis that two scientific articles are semantically related if they are co-cited more frequently than they would be by pure chance. This relationship can be quantified by the probability of co-citation, obtained from a null model that statistically defines what we consider pure chance. Looking for article pairs that minimize this probability, the system is able to recommend a ranking of articles in response to a given article. This system is included in the co-occurrence paradigm of the field. More specifically, it is based on co-cites so it can produce recommendations more focused on relatedness than on similarity. Evaluation has been performed on the ACL Anthology collection and on the DBLP dataset, and a new corpus has been compiled to evaluate the capacity of the proposal to find relationships beyond similarity. Results show that the system is able to provide, not only articles similar to the submitted one, but also articles presenting other kind of relations, thus providing diversity, i.e. connections to new topics.Publicación Can deep learning techniques improve classification performance of vandalism detection in Wikipedia?(Elsevier, 2019) Martinez-Rico, Juan R.; Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesWikipedia is a free encyclopedia created as an international collaborative project. One of its peculiarities is that any user can edit its contents almost without restrictions, what has given rise to a phenomenon known as vandalism. Vandalism is any attempt that seeks to damage the integrity of the encyclopedia deliberately. To address this problem, in recent years several automatic detection systems and associated features have been developed. This work implements one of these systems, which uses three sets of new features based on different techniques. Specifically we study the applicability of a leading technology as deep learning to the problem of vandalism detection. The first set is obtained by expanding a list of vandal terms taking advantage of the existing semantic-similarity relations in word embeddings and deep neural networks. Deep learning techniques are applied to the second set of features, specifically Stacked Denoising Autoencoders (SDA), in order to reduce the dimensionality of a bag of words model obtained from a set of edits taken from Wikipedia. The last set uses graph-based ranking algorithms to generate a list of vandal terms from a vandalism corpus extracted from Wikipedia. These three sets of new features are evaluated separately as well as together to study their complementarity, improving the results in the state of the art. The system evaluation has been carried out on a corpus extracted from Wikipedia (WP_Vandal) as well as on another called PAN-WVC-2010 that was used in a vandalism detection competition held at CLEF conference.Publicación Discovering HIV related information by means of association rules and machine learning(Nature Research, 2022-10-22) Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, Juan; Bisbal, Otilia; Sanchez de Madariaga, Ricardo; The Cohort of the National AIDS Network (CoRIS); https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3746-3378Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is still one of the main health problems worldwide. It is therefore essential to keep making progress in improving the prognosis and quality of life of affected patients. One way to advance along this pathway is to uncover connections between other disorders associated with HIV/AIDS-so that they can be anticipated and possibly mitigated. We propose to achieve this by using Association Rules (ARs). They allow us to represent the dependencies between a number of diseases and other specific diseases. However, classical techniques systematically generate every AR meeting some minimal conditions on data frequency, hence generating a vast amount of uninteresting ARs, which need to be filtered out. The lack of manually annotated ARs has favored unsupervised filtering, even though they produce limited results. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised system, able to identify relevant ARs among HIV-related diseases with a minimal amount of annotated training data. Our system has been able to extract a good number of relationships between HIV-related diseases that have been previously detected in the literature but are scattered and are often little known. Furthermore, a number of plausible new relationships have shown up which deserve further investigation by qualified medical experts.Publicación Understanding and Improving Disability Identification in Medical Documents(IEEE, 2020) Fabregat Marcos, Hermenegildo; Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesDisabilities are a problem that affects a large number of people in the world. Gathering information about them is crucial to improve the daily life of the people who suffer from them but, since disabilities are often strongly associated with different types of diseases, the available data are widely dispersed. In this work we review existing proposal for the problem, making an in-depth analysis, and from it we make a proposal that improves the results of previous systems. The analysis focuses on the results of the participants in DIANN shared task was proposed (IberEval 2018), devoted to the detection of named disabilities in electronic documents. In order to evaluate the proposed systems using a common evaluation framework, a corpus of documents, in both English and Spanish, was gathered and annotated. Several teams participated in the task, either using classic methods or proposing specific approaches to deal effectively with the complexities of the task. Our aim is to provide insight for future advances in the field by analyzing the participating systems and identifying the most effective approaches and elements to tackle the problem. We have validated the lessons learned from this analysis through a new proposal that includes the most promising elements used by the participating teams. The proposed system improves, for both languages, the results obtained during the task.
