BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Evaluating Business Intelligence Platforms: a case study DELL’AQUILA, DI TRIA, LEFONS, and TANGORRA 7th WSEAS Int. Conf. on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING and DATA BASES (AIKED'08), University of Cambridge, UK, Feb 20-22, 2008 "In fact, an effective business intelligence tool must be able to access quality information from a variety of sources stored in different forms, even in unstructured forms; in these cases, vertical collection-building and metasearching methods are necessary"
Using meaningful and stable categories to support exploratory web search: Two formative studies Bill Kules and Ben Shneiderman "Clustering web search results into dynamic categories, in which documents are grouped by similarity measures rather than explicit categorical attributes, has been investigated as an alternative to classification, and has been shown to improve on ranked lists for information retrieval metrics such as precision and recall"
Ontology-Based Information Extraction for Business Intelligence Horacio Saggion1 , Adam Funk1 , Diana Maynard1 and Kalina Bontcheva1
LNCS - The Semantic Web 2007
"EBiZPort is a portal for information gathering in BI. The tool incorporates a meta-search process to leverage different information sources also addressing the merging problem (but not at the entity level as in our case). The tool incorporates summarization, classification, and visualisation techniques."
