This paper describes the collaborative participation of Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University in the Log Analysis for Digital Societies (LADS) task of LogCLEF 2009 track. An analysis of multilingual search logs was carried out with the objectives of investigating how users from different linguistic or cultural backgrounds behave in search, and how the discovery of patterns in user actions could be used for community identification. Our findings suggest that there is scope for further investigation of how search logs can be exploited to personalise and improve cross-language search as well as improve the TEL search system.

Centralized semantic sensor network systems gradually show performance degradation as the scale of the sensor network increases. Thus systems based on distributed approaches with local, autonomous management features are urgently required. In order to achieve local autonomy, it is necessary to push semantics towards the edge of the sensor network, but this is hampered by the lack of availability of lightweight ontology processing and reasoning technologies that are cognizant of the limited resources available in sensor network nodes. This paper proposes an approach to dynamically and automatically compose an ontology reasoner to provide only the level of OWL reasoning required for a given application. A design and prototype implementation are presented, with initial evaluations confirming that this approach saves memory without loss of reasoning ability, which facilitates OWL reasoning on the resource constrained devices typical in sensor networks.

Search personalization is an area of considerable research interest. In this paper, we propose a framework for personalizing cross-language search using user models. Our work extends existing studies in two directions. First, the framework extends to the area of cross-language information retrieval. Second, the study aims to elicit features of cross-language search behavior from multilingual search logs. We argue that we can infer a user model, that describes individual user interests and behavior, which can be partially bootstrapped based on choice of interface language. Our experiments involved mining multilingual search logs for interesting patterns of cross-language search behavior. Different patterns were exhibited for users of different languages. The results suggest that there is scope for further investigation on the use of log analysis to improve personalization of cross-language search.

Modern smart buildings utilize sensor networks for facilities management applications such as energy monitoring. However as buildings become progressively more embedded with sensor networks, the challenge of managing and maintaining the sensor networks themselves becomes ever more significant. As a cost-sensitive activity, facilities management deployments are less likely to deploy node redundancy and specialized technical staff to maintain these networks. Hence there are strong requirements for the network to efficiently self-diagnose, self-heal and integrate with standard buildings management systems. This paper introduces a solution for WSN management in smart buildings that addresses these issues. It is based on the deployment of the open framework middleware for sensor networks coupled with a structured knowledge and rule-based fault analysis engine to perform network event correlation and root cause analysis. The system also explicitly interfaces with a building management system (BMS) or the scheduling of network maintenance activities such as sensor battery replacement.

The annotation of web sites in social bookmarking systems has become a popular way to manage and find information on the web. The community structure of such systems attracts spammers: recent post pages, popular pages or specific tag pages can be manipulated easily. As a result, searching or tracking recent posts does not deliver quality results annotated in the community, but rather unsolicited, often commercial, web sites. To retain the benefits of sharing one's web content, spam-fighting mechanisms that can face the flexible strategies of spammers need to be developed. A classical approach in machine learning is to determine relevant features that describe the system's users, train different classifiers with the selected features and choose the one with the most promising evaluation results. In this paper we will transfer this approach to a, social bookmarking setting to identify spammers. We will present features considering the topological, semantic and profile-based information which people make public when using the system. The dataset used is a snapshot of the social bookmarking system BibSonomy and was built over the course of several months when cleaning the system from spam. Based on our features, we will learn a large set of different classification models and compare their performance. Our results represent the groundwork for a first application in BibSonomy and for the building of more elaborate spam detection mechanisms.
