Facilitating prediction of adverse drug reactions by using knowledge graphs and multi-label learning models
Muñoz, Emir; Nováček, Vít; Vandenbussche, Pierre-Yves (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-08-18)Timely identification of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is highly important in the domains of public health and pharmacology. Early discovery of potential ADRs can limit their effect on patient lives and also make drug ... -
A hybrid method for rating prediction using linked data features and text reviews
Yumusak, Semih; Muñoz, Emir; Minervini, Pasquale; Dogdu, Erdogan; Kodaz, Halife (CEUR-WS.org, 2016)This paper describes our entry for the Linked Data Mining Challenge 2016, which poses the problem of classifying music albums as good or bad by mining Linked Data. The original labels are assigned according to aggregated ... -
Identifying equivalent relation paths in knowledge graphs
Mohamed, Sameh K.; Muñoz, Emir; Nováček, Vít; Vandenbussche, Pierre-Yves (Springer Verlag, 2017-06-19)Relation paths are sequences of relations with inverse that allow for complete exploration of knowledge graphs in a two-way unconstrained manner. They are powerful enough to encode complex relationships between entities ... -
Learning content patterns from linked data
Muñoz, Emir (CEUR-WS.org, 2014)Linked Data (LD) datasets (e.g., DBpedia, Freebase) are used in many knowledge extraction tasks due to the high variety of domains they cover. Unfortunately, many of these datasets do not provide a description for their ... -
A linked data-based decision tree classifier to review movies
Aldarra, Suad; Muñoz, Emir (CEUR-WS.org, 2015)In this paper, we describe our contribution to the 2015 Linked Data Mining Challenge. The proposed task is concerned with the prediction of review of movies as good or bad , as does Metacritic website based on critics ... -
Mining cardinalities from knowledge bases
Muñoz, Emir; Nickles, Matthias (Springer Verlag, 2017-08-01)Cardinality is an important structural aspect of data that has not received enough attention in the context of RDF knowledge bases (KBs). Information about cardinalities can be useful for data users and knowledge engineers ... -
On learnability of constraints from RDF data
Muñoz, Emir (Springer International Publishing, 2016-05-14)RDF is structured, dynamic, and schemaless data, which enables a big deal of flexibility for Linked Data to be available in an open environment such as the Web. However, for RDF data, flexibility turns out to be the source ... -
Outcomes for permanence and stability for children in long-term care
Moran, Lisa; McGregor, Caroline; Devaney, Carmel (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2017-04)The aim of this study was to explore how young people who have been in care, and their carers, conceptualise permanence and stability. This study focuses on outcomes for permanence and stability for children in long-term ... -
Parenting support and parental participation: Mapping parenting support in the Irish context
Connolly, Nuala; Devaney, Carmel; Crosse, Rosemary (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2017-03)This study provides a mapping of parenting support service provision in Ireland. It outlines the policy context, the existing evidence base and is informed by the best available data. It details the delivery ... -
Parenting support and parental participation: Parental participation survey report
Crosse, Rosemary; Devaney, Carmel; Connolly, Nuala (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2017-08)This research is part of a study to examine the extent to which parental participation is currently embedded in Irish organisations providing parenting support. The study is part of a wider programme of ... -
Parenting support and parental participation: Parenting support champions questionnaire report
Crosse, Rosemary; Devaney, Carmel (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2017-07)The purpose of the research is to ascertain the expectations for the role of Parenting Support Champions (PSC) from those who have volunteered for the position. Reasons why respondents volunteered for the role of PSC, ... -

Regularizing knowledge graph embeddings via equivalence and inversion axioms
Minervini, Pasquale; Costabello, Luca; Muñoz, Emir; Nováček, Vít; Vandenbussche, Pierre-Yves (Springer Verlag, 2017-12-30)Learning embeddings of entities and relations using neural architectures is an effective method of performing statistical learning on large-scale relational data, such as knowledge graphs. In this paper, we consider the ... -
SemanTex: semantic text exploration using document links implied by conceptual networks extracted from the texts
Aldarra, Suad; Muñoz, Emir; Vandenbussche, Pierre-Yves; Nováček, Vít (ACMCEUR-WS.org, 2014)Despite of advances in digital document processing, exploration of implicit relationships within large amounts of textual resources can still be daunting. This is partly due to the ‘black-box’ nature of most current ... -
Soft cardinality constraints on XML data: How exceptions prove the business rule
Ferrarotti, Flavio; Hartmann, Sven; Link, Sebastian; Marin, Mauricio; Muñoz, Emir (Springer Verlag, 2013)We introduce soft cardinality constraints which need to be satisfied on average only, and thus permit violations in a controlled manner. Starting from a highly expressive but intractable class, we establish a fragment that ... -
