Publicación Disentangling categorical relationships through a graph of co-occurrences(American Physical Society, 2011-10-19) Borge Holthoefer, Javier; Arenas, Alex; Capitán, José A.; Cuesta, José A.; Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesThe mesoscopic structure of complex networks has proven a powerful level of description to understand the linchpins of the system represented by the network. Nevertheless, themapping of a series of relationships between elements, in terms of a graph, is sometimes not straightforward. Given that all the information we would extract using complex network tools depend on this initial graph, it is mandatory to preprocess the data to build it on in the most accurate manner. Here we propose a procedure to build a network, attending only to statistically significant relations between constituents. We use a paradigmatic example of word associations to show the development of our approach. Analyzing the modular structure of the obtained network we are able to disentangle categorical relations, disambiguating words with success that is comparable to the best algorithms designed to the same end.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 Detecting malicious tweets in trending topics using a statistical analysis of language(Elsevier, 2013-06-01) Martínez Romo, Juan; Araujo Serna, M. LourdesTwitter spam detection is a recent area of research in which most previous works had focused on the identification of malicious user accounts and honeypot-based approaches. However, in this paper we present a methodology based on two new aspects: the detection of spam tweets in isolation and without previous information of the user; and the application of a statistical analysis of language to detect spam in trending topics. Trending topics capture the emerging Internet trends and topics of discussion that are in everybody’s lips. This growing microblogging phenomenon therefore allows spammers to disseminate malicious tweets quickly and massively. In this paper we present the first work that tries to detect spam tweets in real time using language as the primary tool. We first collected and labeled a large dataset with 34 K trending topics and 20 million tweets. Then, we have proposed a reduced set of features hardly manipulated by spammers. In addition, we have developed a machine learning system with some orthogonal features that can be combined with other sets of features with the aim of analyzing emergent characteristics of spam in social networks. We have also conducted an extensive evaluation process that has allowed us to show how our system is able to obtain an F-measure at the same level as the best state-ofthe- art systems based on the detection of spam accounts. Thus, our system can be applied to Twitter spam detection in trending topics in real time due mainly to the analysis of tweets instead of user accounts.Publicación Web spam detection : new classification features based on qualified link analysis and language models(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-09-01) Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, JuanWeb spam is a serious problem for search engines because the quality of their results can be severely degraded by the presence of this kind of page. In this paper, we present an efficient spam detection system based on a classifier that combines new link-based features with language-model (LM)-based ones. These features are not only related to quantitative data extracted from the Web pages, but also to qualitative properties, mainly of the page links.We consider, for instance, the ability of a search engine to find, using information provided by the page for a given link, the page that the link actually points at. This can be regarded as indicative of the link reliability. We also check the coherence between a page and another one pointed at by any of its links. Two pages linked by a hyperlink should be semantically related, by at least a weak contextual relation. Thus, we apply an LM approach to different sources of information from aWeb page that belongs to the context of a link, in order to provide high-quality indicators of Web spam. We have specifically applied the Kullback–Leibler divergence on different combinations of these sources of information in order to characterize the relationship between two linked pages. The result is a system that significantly improves the detection of Web spam using fewer features, on two large and public datasets such as WEBSPAM-UK2006 and WEBSPAM-UK2007.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 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 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 Deep-Learning Approach to Educational Text Mining and Application to the Analysis of Topics’ Difficulty(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-12-02) Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; López Ostenero, Fernando; Martínez Romo, Juan; Plaza Morales, LauraLearning analytics has emerged as a promising tool for optimizing the learning experience and results, especially in online educational environments. An important challenge in this area is identifying the most difficult topics for students in a subject, which is of great use to improve the quality of teaching by devoting more effort to those topics of greater difficulty, assigning them more time, resources and materials. We have approached the problem by means of natural language processing techniques. In particular, we propose a solution based on a deep learning model that automatically extracts the main topics that are covered in educational documents. This model is next applied to the problem of identifying the most difficult topics for students in a subject related to the study of algorithms and data structures in a Computer Science degree. Our results show that our topic identification model presents very high accuracy (around 90 percent) and may be efficiently used in learning analytics applications, such as the identification and understanding of what makes the learning of a subject difficult. An exhaustive analysis of the case study has also revealed that there are indeed topics that are consistently more difficult for most students, and also that the perception of difficulty in students and teachers does not always coincide with the actual difficulty indicated by the data, preventing to pay adequate attention to the most challenging topics.Publicación RoBERTime: un nuevo modelo para la detección de expresiones temporales en español(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2023-03) Sánchez de Castro Fernández, Alejandro; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; Martínez Romo, JuanTemporal expressions are all those words that refer to temporality. Their detection or extraction is a complex task, since it depends on the domain of the text, the language and the way they are written. Their study in Spanish and more specifically in the clinical domain is scarce, mainly due to the lack of annotated corpora. In this paper we propose the use of large language models to address the task, comparing the performance of five models of different characteristics. After a process of experimentation and fine tuning, a new model called RoBERTime is created for the detection of temporal expressions in Spanish, especially focused in the clinical domain. This model is publicly available. RoBERTime achieves state-of-the-art results in the E3C and Timebank corpora, being the first public model for the detection of temporal expressions in Spanish specialized in the clinical domain.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.
