A Spreading Activation Framework for Tracking Conceptual Complexity of Texts
We propose an unsupervised approach for assessing conceptual complexity of texts, based on spreading activation. Using DBpedia knowledge graph as a proxy to long-term memory, mentioned concepts become activated and trigger further activation as the text is sequentially traversed. Drawing inspiration from psycholinguistic theories of reading comprehension, we model memory processes such as semantic priming, sentence wrap-up, and forgetting. We show that our models capture various aspects of conceptual text complexity and significantly outperform current state of the art.

SpreadPy: A Python tool for modelling spreading activation and superdiffusion in cognitive multiplex networks
We introduce SpreadPy as a Python library for simulating spreading activation in cognitive single-layer and multiplex networks. Our tool is designed to perform numerical simulations testing structure-function relationshi…
Discovering Latent Information By Spreading Activation Algorithm For Document Retrieval
Syntactic search relies on keywords contained in a query to find suitable documents. So, documents that do not contain the keywords but contain information related to the query are not retrieved. Spreading activation is …
Information RetrievalRetrievalEarly Language Learning via Spreading Activation and Category Exploration in Complex Networks
Is word acquisition in children uneven with respect to semantic and lexical categories? To answer this question, we model early language learning as a search on a graph-based mental lexicon, driven by two interacting pro…
Analyzing noise in autoencoders and deep networks
Autoencoders have emerged as a useful framework for unsupervised learning of internal representations, and a wide variety of apparently conceptually disparate regularization techniques have been proposed to generate usef…
DenoisingUniversal kinetics for engagement of mechanosensing pathways in cell adhesion
When plated onto substrates, cell morphology and even stem cell differentiation are influenced by the stiffness of their environment. Stiffer substrates give strongly spread (eventually polarized) cells with strong focal…
