- Detection of strength and causal agents of stress and relaxation in social media content
Hypothesis: The accuracy of a person’s psychological stress and relaxation magnitude measurement from his social media content can be improved by incorporating word sense disambiguation. The causal agents of stress and relaxation can be inferred from the social media output.
Research Questions: Can the accuracy of psychological stress or relaxation strength detection from social media content be improved using word sense disambiguation? Can the Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis methods to detect keywords in tweets be used for identifying causal agents of stress and relaxation from social media content?
- Detection of strength and causal agents of stress and relaxation in social media content
- Friday 23 March 2018 in MC225. Title: Unsupervised Citation Sentence Identification based on Similarity Measurement
Speaker: Dr. Shiyan Ou, School of Information Management, Nanjing University, China
Abstract: Citation Context Analysis has obtained the interest of many researchers in the field of bibliometrics. To do this, the first step is to extract the context of each citation from a citing paper. We proposed a novel unsupervised approach for the identification of implicit citation sentences without attaching a citation tag. Our approach selects the neighboring sentences around an explicit citation sentence as candidate sentences, calculates the similarity between a candidate sentence and a cited or citing paper, and deems those that are more similar to the cited paper to be implicit citation sentences. To calculate text similarity, we proposed four methods based on the Doc2vec model, the Vector Space Model (VSM) and the LDA model respectively. The experiment results showed that the hybrid method combing the probabilistic TF-IDF weighted VSM with the TF-IDF weighted Doc2vec obtained the best performance. Compared against other supervised methods, our approach does not need any annotated training corpus, and thus can be easy to apply to other domains in theory.

Abstract: This talk will show how the well-known PageRank algorithm, which was originally conceived by Google for ranking webpages, can also be used for the analysis of other systems. The talk will show how the PageRank formula can be applied to citation networks and modified in order to include the information from collaboration networks and publication dates. The second part of the talk will focus on a few databases that can be used for the assessment of scientists (e.g. Web of Science, DBLP, or CiteSeer) and will introduce a new indicator for the evaluation of the current performance of researchers.

Bibliometrics offers a great way to investigate the facts and trends in S&T development. How to take advantage of bibliometric analysis to get reasonable evidence is a topic worthy of exploring. This talk will focus on two investigations: 1) In terms of international scientific collaboration, how does collaboration contribute to BRIC countries’ scientific performance, especially in most important research as indicated in highly cited articles; 2) How can science mapping serve decision making on priority-setting in research policy. |

(10min+QA) Prof. of Waseda University, Japan. Hit Count Dance - Reliability Verification of Search Engines’ Hit Counts In this talk, we provide a scientific basis to adopt search engines’ hit counts, numbers returned as search result counts. Since many studies adopt search engines’ hit counts to estimate the popularity of a particular query, the reliability of hit counts is indispensable for archiving trustworthy studies.
However, hit counts are unreliable because they will ―dance, i.e., change, when a user clicks the ―Search button more than once or clicks the ― Next button on the search results page, or when a user queries the same term on a another day. We have analyzed the characteristics of hit count transition by gathering various types of hit counts over two months by using 10,000 queries.

ABS is a relatively new methodology to tackle social phenomena at the level of agent-agent and agent-environment interaction. By presenting example simulations the talk is intended to show how ABS can be seen as a virtual laboratory for the social sciences. Particular focus is given to the interaction of ‘real world’ data and simulation data for theory testing. Centre for Research in Social Simulation, Department of Sociology, University of Surrey |

| Tuesday February 17, 2009 | Internal integration and collaboration in European R&D projects Since 1984, the EU Framework Programmes have significantly advanced international research collaboration in Europe. The integration between collaborating R&D organisations has increased over time, as has the involvement of organisations within simultaneous multiple projects. The size and length of the ventures has increased. The networks have shown themselves to be highly durable, with collaboration - both between individual researchers and between research institutions - continuing after the initial joint projects. Yet little is known of the internal life of EU-funded R&D collaboration projects. The FP6 funded research project NEMO - Network Models, Governance and R&D collaboration networks - aims to investigate the interplay between political governance, structure and function in the European Framework Programmes, both at the programme and project levels. In this presentation I will outline some of the research activities currently conducted within the NEMO project. I will also take a closer look at intra-project collaboration and focus on individual projects and researchers. I will look at expectations and motivations of organisations and individuals researchers to participate in collaborative R&D projects; study criteria for partner choice in current and future R&D projects and look at intra-project linkages especially in terms of communication and joint knowledge production between the partners within different R&D collaboration projects.

Evolving Structures of News Dissemination Matthew S. Weber, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern California Through my recent research I am working to establish a framework for analyzing the evolution of news dissemination in online spaces. The initial study analyzes the flow of information in a network of online news sites. Social network theory and research on hyperlinked networks of Web pages were used to develop a model of information flow among groups of Web sites. Kleinberg’s authority-hub model is extended by introducing sources of information in the network. Examining linking patterns and the flow of information, the influence of a small number of central information hubs is analyzed as the result of their network positions. Significant support was found for a modified Source-Authority-Hub model, which shows the source, directionality, routing, and destination of news information flow through a network of authorities and hubs. This model demonstrates the ability of key Web sites to control the flow of news and information. Applications of the model to over-time data has the potential to predict future changes in the online news industry. This initial study lays a framework for conducting evolutionary analysis of the dissemination of digital information. |

Measuring student literacy proficiency in online environments In this talk, Monica Bulger will address the methodological challenges of empirically studying online literacy proficiency. She will discuss her use of monitoring software and log file extraction as tools for analyzing students’ information gathering and evaluation practices. Her study of 150 UCSB graduates and undergraduates reveals how college students gauge credibility and usefulness when evaluating online resources and further, how they use this information when composing academic texts.

Using Facebook as a Data Source and Platform for e-Researching Social Networks Social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook and Orkut enable new research into the role of individual characteristics in friendship patterns and the diffusion of tastes in social networks. This paper assesses the opportunities and challenges posed by SNSs for empirical research into online social networks. It is argued that SNSs may eventually provide platforms for delivering social network analysis e-Research tools, and a prototype tool built using the OpenSocial API is presented. MyExperiment has been described as "Facebook for scientists"; this paper contends that that SNSs such as Facebook may eventually be described as "GridSphere for e-Social Scientists".
