This paper presents the structure and current state of the Sociopolitical thesaurus, which was developed for automatic document analysis and information-retrieval applications in Russian in a broad domain of public affairs. The scope of the Sociopolitical thesaurus resembles traditional information-retrieval thesauri for broad domains such as the EUROVOC or UNBIS thesauri, but the Sociopolitical thesaurus is intended as a tool for automatic document processing and this difference leads to considerable distinctions in the thesaurus structure and principles of its development. The knowledge representation in the Sociopolitical thesaurus is based on the combination of three existing traditions of developing information-retrieval thesauri, wordnets, and formal ontology research, which facilitates the consistent representation for such a broad scope of concepts and automatic document analysis of unstructured texts. The Sociopolitical thesaurus is used in such applications as conceptual indexing in information-retrieval systems, knowledge-based text categorization, automatic summarization of single and multiple documents, and question-answering. This paper presents an evaluation of the Sociopolitical thesaurus in automatic knowledge-based text categorization.

AbstractThis chapter describes the Russian RuThes thesaurus created as a linguistic and terminological resource for automatic document processing. Its structure utilizes two popular paradigms for computer thesauri: concept-based units, a small set of relation types, rules for including multiword expression as in information retrieval thesauri; and language-motivated units, detailed sets of synonyms, description of ambiguous words as in WordNet-like thesauri. The development of the RuThes thesaurus is supported for many years: new concepts, new senses, and multiword expressions found in contemporary texts are introduced regularly. The chapter shows some examples of representing newly appeared concepts related to important internal and international events.

We have long felt that some form of electronic information retrieval would be more desirable than conventional photographic methods in a high vacuum electron microscope for various reasons. The most obvious of these is the fact that with electronic data retrieval the major source of gas load is removed from the instrument. An equally important reason is that if any subsequent analysis of the data is to be made, a continuous record on magnetic tape gives a much larger quantity of data and gives it in a form far more satisfactory for subsequent processing.

Many factors (e.g., resolution of microscope, type of tissue, and preparation of sample) affect electron microscopical images and alter the amount of information that can be retrieved from a specimen. Of interest in this report are those factors associated with the evaluation of epoxy embedded tissues. In this context, informational retrieval is dependant, in part, on the ability to “see” sample detail (e.g., contrast) and, in part, on tue quality of sample preservation. Two aspects of this problem will be discussed: 1) epoxy resins and their effect on image contrast, information retrieval, and sample preservation; and 2) the interaction between some stains commonly used for enhancing contrast and information retrieval.

At an earlier meeting [1], we discussed information retrieval in the scanning transmission ion microscope (STIM) compared with the electron microscope at the same energy. We treated elastic scattering contrast, using total elastic cross sections; relative damage was estimated from energy loss data. This treatment is valid for “thin” specimens, where the incident particles suffer only single scattering. Since proton cross sections exceed electron cross sections, a given specimen (e.g., 1 μg/cm2 of carbon at 25 keV) may be thin for electrons but “thick” for protons. Therefore, we now extend our previous analysis to include multiple scattering. Our proton results are based on the calculations of Sigmund and Winterbon [2], for 25 keV protons on carbon, using a Thomas-Fermi screened potential with a screening length of 0.0226 nm. The electron results are from Crewe and Groves [3] at 30 keV.
