DESCRIPTION
This Program will compare the result obtained from the SenseClusters with that
of Gold Standards. Gold Standards can be obtained from:
1. Wikipedia
2. Wordnet
3. User Provided
For fetching the Wikipedia data it use the WWW::Wikipedia module from the CPAN
and for comparison of Labels with Gold Standards it uses the Text::Similarity
Module. The comparison result is then further processed to obtain the result
and score of result.
FILE FORMATS:
1. senseClusterLabelFileName:
---------------------------------
This tells about the file that will contains the labels for the clusters generated by SenseClusters.
The file format for this file should be same as that of generated by SenseClusters.
For e.g:
Cluster 0 (Descriptive): George Bush, Russian President, British Prime, British Minister, India Pakistan, US George, Prime Minister,
Cluster 0 (Discriminating): Russian President, British Minister, India Pakistan, US George,
Cluster 1 (Descriptive): George Bush, British Prime, weapons mass, United Nations, September 11, mass destruction, United States,
Prime Minister, military action
Cluster 1 (Discriminating): United Nations, September 11, United States
Cluster 2 (Descriptive): George Bush, weapons destruction, prime minister, axis evil, Saddam Hussein, weapons mass, mass destruction,
Gulf War, military action, Iraqi leader
Cluster 2 (Discriminating): weapons destruction, prime minister, axis evil, Saddam Hussein, Gulf War, Iraqi leader
2. goldKeyFileName:
-----------------------
This parameter contains the name of the file that contains the gold standard keys for the labels of clusters generated by
SenseClusters.
The file format provided by user for Gold-Standard key's are dependent on the following
two parameters that user pass to call this module:
1. labelComparisonMethod
--------------------------
This parameter tells that whether is passing the mapping information between
goldkeys and clusters or not.
Two options available are: 1. 'direct' - this says user will provide the mapping info.
2. 'automate' - this says module should find the best possible
mapping between cluster's label and goldkeys.
2. goldKeyDataSource
-------------------------
This parameter tell this module from where it can read more information about
the goldkeys
Options for this parameter are: 1. 'wikipedia' - this tells to fetch data from wikipedia.
2. 'wordnet' - this tells to fetch data from wordnet.
3. 'userData' - this tells user will give the data along
with mapping.
Combinatios of the various values for the aboue two parameters will give the following six cases:
(Please note that separator between cluster name and Goldkeys are ":::".
Also, the separator between Goldkeys and their data are ":::")
Case 1. labelComparisonMethod => 'direct', goldKeyDataSource => 'userData'
a) In this case user should provide the mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys
b) User should also provide the data about these goldstandard keys.
for e.g:
Cluster0:::Tony Blair
Cluster1:::Vladimir Putin
Cluster2:::Saddam Hussein
Tony Blair::: Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953)[1] is a British Labour Party politician who served
as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield
from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. He resigned from all of these positions in
June 2007.
Vladimir Putin::: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: ( listen); born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician
who has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and
as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin was also previously the Chairman
of United Russia.
Saddam Hussein::: Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti 28 April 1937[2] – 30 December 2006)[3] was the fifth
President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003.[4][5] A leading member of the
revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.
Case 2. labelComparisonMethod => 'direct', goldKeyDataSource => 'wikipedia'
a) In this case user just need to provide the mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys.
b) User do not need to provide the data about these goldstandard keys. Even though, if user provides the
data about these topics, it will be ignored.
for e.g:
Cluster0:::Tony Blair
Cluster1:::Vladimir Putin
Cluster2:::Saddam Hussein
Case 3. labelComparisonMethod => 'direct', goldKeyDataSource => 'wordnet'
a) In this case also user just need to provide the mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys.
b) User do not need to provide the data about these goldstandard keys.
for e.g:
Cluster0:::Tony Blair
Cluster1:::Vladimir Putin
Cluster2:::Saddam Hussein
Case 4. labelComparisonMethod => 'automate', goldKeyDataSource => 'userData'
a) No Mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys.
b) User will just need to provide the data about these goldstandard keys.
for e.g:
Tony Blair::: Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953)[1] is a British Labour Party politician who served
as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield
from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. He resigned from all of these positions in
June 2007.

who has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and
as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin was also previously the Chairman
of United Russia.
Saddam Hussein::: Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti 28 April 1937[2] – 30 December 2006)[3] was the fifth
President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003.[4][5] A leading member of the
revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.
Case 5. labelComparisonMethod => 'automate', goldKeyDataSource => 'wikipedia'
a) No Mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys.
b) User will just need to provide the comma separated goldstandard keys.
for e.g:
Tony Blair , Vladimir Putin, Saddam Hussein
Case 6. labelComparisonMethod => 'automate', goldKeyDataSource => 'wordnet'
a) No Mapping between the clusters and Goldkeys.
b) User will just need to provide the comma separated goldstandard keys.
for e.g:
Tony Blair , Vladimir Putin, Saddam Hussein
Sample files for all the cases are included in test-section of the modules.
RESULT:
a) Contingency Matrix:
Based on the similarity comparison of Labels with the gold standards,
the Contingency Matrix is generated. Following shows an example of
contingency matrix for the example mentioned in synposis:
Original Contingency Matrix:
Bill Clinton Tony Blair
-------------------------------------------------
Cluster0 54 48
-------------------------------------------------
Cluster1 31 16
-------------------------------------------------
b) Using Hungarian algorithm to display the new contingency matrix,
whose diagonal elements indicates the assigned similarity-score
between a cluster and a gold-standard key. This format of matrix
has the maximum possible diagonal's total.
Example:
Contigency Matrix after Hungarian Algorithm:
Tony Blair Bill Clinton
-------------------------------------------------
Cluster0 48 54
-------------------------------------------------
Cluster1 16 31
-------------------------------------------------
c) Conclusion: Displays the conclusion of the Hungarian algorithm:
Example:
Final Conclusion using Hungarian Algorithm::
Cluster0 <--> Tony Blair
Cluster1 <--> Bill Clinton
d) Displaying the overall accuracy for the label assignment:
Sum (Diagonal Scores)
Accuracy = -------------------------------------------
Sum (All the Scores of contingency table)
Example:
Accuracy of labels is 53.02% Help
The LabelEvaluation module expect the 'OptionsHash' as the required argument.
The 'optionHash' has the following elements:
1. labelFile: Name of the file containing the labels from SenseClusters. The syntax of file must be similar to label file from SenseClusters. This is mandatory parameter.
2. labelComparisonMethod: Name of the method for comparing the labels with GoldKey. This method tells the program whether the keyFile provided by the User will have the mapping between the assigned labels and expected topics of the clusters. Possible options are : A) 'DirectAssignment' and B) 'AutomateAssignment'.
This is mandatory parameter.
3. goldKeyFile: Name of the file containing the actual topics (keys) and their data for the clusters. This is mandatory parameter.
4. goldKeyLength: This parameter tells about the length of data to be fetched from the external resource such as Wikipedia. The data will be used as reference data. Default value for this parameter is the first section of the Wikipedia page.
5. goldKeyDataSource: This parameter tell the name of external application or user supplied file name from where we will get the key's data. For now supported options are: 1. 'Wikipedia' 2. 'User' 3. 'Wordnet' (Will be supported in future).
This is the mandatory parameter.
6. weightRatio: This ratio tells us about the weightage we should provide to Discriminating label over the descriptive label. Default value is set to 10.
7. stopList: This is the name of file which contains the list of all stop words. This is the optional parameter and its formating should match the requirement of the Text:: Simialrity i.e. a single stop word in a single line. for e.g:
Content of stoplist.txt should look like:
the
of
in
:
:
to8. isClean: This variable will decide whether to keep or delete temporary files.Default value is 'true'.
9. verbose: Variable used for the deciding whether to show detailed results to user or not. Default value = Off (0), to make it 'On' change value to 1.
10. help : This variable will decide whether to display help to user or not. Default value for this parameter is 0.
