The Effectiveness of Latent Semantic Analysis for Building Up a Bottom-up Taxonomy from Folksonomy Tags

Abstract: In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of a semantic smoothing technique to organize folksonomy tags. Folksonomy tags have no explicit relations and vary because they form uncontrolled vocabulary. We discriminates so-called subjective tags like "cool" and "fun" from folksonomy tags without any extra knowledge other than folksonomy triples and use the level of tag generalization to form the objective tags into a hierarchy. We verify that entropy of folksonomy tags is an effective measure for discriminatin… Show more

“…Agglomerative clustering algorithm, Asymmetric hierarchical clustering, Hierarchical divisive clustering algorithms, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI) and UserCategorize tag (UCTag) have been tested and proposed by [4,33,46,101] respectively in order to make tag clusters. However, some clusters produced may be too large if utilized for navigation and for that, removing unpopular tags before clustering can be useful.…”

“…Eda et al [33] used folksonomy triples to organize tags in generalized and specialized relationships. Using Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI), they distinguished between subjective and objective tags and then arranged the objective ones into a hierarchy in a Directed Acyclic Graph.…”

“…Bao et al explored the application of tag propagation processing for later web mining in [3]. In [7,10,20], latent feature based or user learning methods were used to discover latent concept hierarchy in the tag space. Our bursty tagging event detection is related to these attempts in the area of social tagging.…”
