Just notes from a three-hour workshop about how to write an Informatics\r\nthesis, on the 16th of April.
\r\nState contributions (to knowledge) explicitly. Intro, conclusions; each\r\nchapter should have some (probably not all) contributions discussed. Be\r\nobvious; use headings.
\r\nKnowledge - background:
\r\nEvidence, well-reasoned arguments, acknowledge limitations.
\r\nClear openings for future work. Be clear where they are.
\r\nMake it reproduceable.
\r\nShort / concise. Examiners like short theses.
\r\nIntroduce what's interesting and important.
\r\nWhen outline thesis, look at structure of main argument, not of document.
\r\nBackground material must have point. Only include as much detail as you need\r\nto make point.
\r\nPoints, eg:
Then we had five minutes to write down what our PhDs are about and what we\r\nhave already found out. I wrote:
\r\nHow do the futures of the Semantic Web and amateur digital content creation\r\nfit together?
\r\nCan Semantic Web tools and technologies be used to enhance collaborative\r\ncreative partnerships and encourage fruitful outputs?
\r\n_
\r\nThere are knowledge sharing systems and collaborative tools for scientific\r\nfields and in education, but nothing for creative artsy things.
\r\n
\r\nAttitudes towards data sharing and privacy amongst content creators are in\r\nflux. There are lots of projects and energy around open data and\r\ndecentralised social networks that allow data to become portable and not tied\r\nto one platform. One of TBL's visions for the Semantic Web is the dissolution\r\nof data silos and 'walled' applications that disadvantage the user, and as\r\nsuch the promotion of the 'ownership' of a user's data by the user themselves,\r\nrather than the software or organisation that uses the data.
\r\n
\r\n__There are lots of reasons people make content. There are lots of reasons\r\npeople don't make content (who could / would like to)._
[Notes resume]
\r\nUse backreferences; don't repeat yourself.
Info / advice
\r\n...homepages.../sgwater/resources.html
\r\n..homepages.../imurray2/teaching/writing
\r\nStyle: Toward Clarity & Grace (book)
\r\nThe Craft of Research (book)
When to start writing thesis?
\r\nDon't assume appendices will be read. More for extra info if needed by people\r\ntrying to reproduce your work (not your examiners).
\r\nToo many direct quotes look like you don't understand and are avoiding\r\nexplaining yourself.
\r\nKeep copies of web resources and cite access dates in case they change /\r\ndisappear.
\r\nFigures might be copyright if you just copy them from papers, even if you cite\r\nthem. Remake them, and put 'adapted from' as citation.
Examiners?
\r\nNo grading system (ie no different levels of passed PhD). Might be external\r\nprizes if you want extra recognition.

\r\nSemantic Web & Web of data = a more manageable mission.
\r\nMetaweb movie - got bought by Google and incorporated into Knowledge Graph.
SW Principles:
\r\n1\\\\\\\\. Give everything a name (entities).
\r\n2\\\\\\\\. Relations form graph between things.
\r\n3\\\\\\\\. Names are addresses on the Web (so we inherit properties of Web like AAA).
This becomes Giant Global Graph. (Maybe SW should be called Giant Global\r\nGraph?)
\r\n4\\\\\\\\. Add semantics.
\r\nGoogle: from just links to results, to information boxes (last May). Can't\r\ndirectly address Google Knowledge Graph.
\r\nNXP (microprocessors): 26,000 products. Integrated all databases into\r\ntriplestore. Exposing subset of triplestore to customers.
\r\nBBC: 125 million triples. Many data sources. APIs to website. Own\r\nontologies.
All have the same triple-layer architecture:
\r\nRaw data | \r\nSW layer | \r\n
---|
Output / API / UI etc
\r\nDataGov: eg. air quality in cities, campaign money, if policies work.
\r\nCompanies don't care about SW, but are using these technologies for their own\r\nIRL purposes.
\r\nThese are all different types of use cases of SW technologies:
\r\nIt's important that the SW graph is so big.
\r\nThe LD cloud is still poorly interconnected, but good graph properties.
\r\nSameAs.org
\r\nHeterogeneity is unavoidable.
\r\nSocio-economic, first to market - why certain systems/ontologies get used, eg.\r\nschema.org, dbpedia.
Self-organisation.
\r\nLD cloud grew, nobody designed it.
\r\nKnowledge follows power curve. This has an impact on mapping and reasoning,\r\nstorage and indexing.
Distribution.
\r\nWeb not geared for distributed SPARQL queries. Everyone pulls in all data and\r\nqueries local copy. Not very 'webby', disadvantageous. So subgraphs? Query\r\nplanning? Caching? Payload priority?
Provenance.
\r\nRepresentation, (re)construction. Metametadata (knowledge about knowledge;\r\nuncertainty; problems with vocabs for this).
\r\nHow to get from provenance to trust.
Dynamics (change).
\r\nCool Web in 60 seconds graphic.
\r\nSW not changing this fast, but soon..
Errors and noise.
\r\nSometimes we disagree.
\r\nDeal with by: avoid, repair or contain. Or just deal with it \\\\\\\\- allow\r\nargumentation.
\r\nFuzzy, rough semantics - almost, maybe.
Lots of research questions. But not ones we could ask 10 years ago.
\r\nInformation universe - "algorithms exist without us looking at them".
\r\nWe should ask if things work in theory.
\r\nScientists vs. engineers.
\r\nDiscovering vs. building.
Says we should change our mindset from building stuff to hypothesising and\r\nfalsifying.

\r\nIntroduction to Linked Data from Mathieu d'Aquin
\r\nLinked Data = universal connections, like Lego.
\r\nUniversal is why it's important.
\r\n\r\nThe only problem we had during the workshop was disagreement about how to read\r\nthe 'broader' and 'narrower' relations between courses. It instinctively\r\nready contrary to what (my) common sense suggested (eg. that 'arts and\r\nhumanities' is broader than 'history', which some people disagreed with). A\r\nquick reference to the ontology documentation resolved that.

Ubiquitous streams and the Linked Data Web from Manfred Hauswirth (pooh42)
\r\nStreams: Any time dependant data / changes over time.
\r\nHas done a paper about P2P stuff.
\r\nData silo - "natural enemy of SW scientists"
\r\nMassive exponential growth of global data.
\r\nStill have to integrate dynamic data with static data.
\r\nMultiway joins are domintion operator. Need to be efficient.
Everything/body is a sensor.
\r\nVarious research challenges:
\r\nCoAP ~= http for sensors.
\r\nStuff about sensor networks and context - useful for Michael.
\r\nRewrite query to spit out static and dynamic - lots of overhead.
\r\nBut need to optimise between these.
\r\nNeither existing stream processing systems nor existing databases could be\r\nefficient enough.
\r\nSo the built own LD stream processing system. (Optimised and adopted existing\r\ndatabase stuff).
HyperWave - didn't succeed. Didn't listen to customers and wasn't open source\r\n(license fees).
\r\nBut better than hypertext was back in the day.
\r\nPerformance important for success/uptake.
Just putting it on cloud infrastructure doesn't mean it scales.
\r\nTo do?
\r\nWorld is:
\r\n... uncertain, fuzzy, contradictory.
\r\nSo combine statistics and logics.
\r\nHard to scale logical reasoning, so use statistics to shoot in the right\r\ndirection.
Privacy?
\r\nDon't get hung up on approaches / labels.

\r\nUsers (consumers?):
\r\nMore data than just what you seen in the media (cue my Venn diagram).
\r\nPlus, eg. paintings - lots of 'cultural baggage'.
\r\nCare more about the story than the media.
\r\nInterpretation by end users. Hopefully message that the author intended.
Meaning of combination of assets.
\r\neg. Exhibition of artists work.
Interacting further with the media.
\r\n(SW and multimedia community need to work together).
\r\n-> Raphael Troncy on Friday - attaching semantics to multimedia on the Web.
\r\nNeed mechanisms:
\r\nWorkflow for multimedia applications
\r\nHeard of MPEG-7? Don't bother.. very much from a media algorithms perspective.
\r\nApplications:
\r\nCanonical processes overview...
\r\nThere's a paper.
\r\nCeWe photobook - automatic selection, sorting and ordering of photos.
\r\nContext (timestamp, tags) analysis and content (colours, edges) analysis.
Things from these you want to represent your digital system (ie with LOD):
\r\nCOMM - Core Ontology for Multimedia.
\r\nPremediate and construct message - human parts, she doesn't expect them to be\r\ndigitised any time soon.
\r\nUsing Semantics to create stories with media
\r\nCan we link media assets to existing linked data and use this to improve\r\npresentation?
\r\nHow can annotations help?
\r\nVox Populi (PhD project)
\r\nTraditionally video documentary is a set of shots decided by director/editor.
\r\nvs.
\r\nAnnotating video material and showing what the user asks to see.
interviewwithamerica.com
\r\nAnnotations for these documentary clips:
\r\nAutomatically generated coherant story.
\r\nVox Populi has (not for human consumption) GUI for querying annotated video\r\ncontent.
\r\nUser can determine subject and bias of presentation.
\r\nDocumentary maker can just add in new videos and new annotations to easily\r\ngenerate new sequence options.
User informatio needs - Ana Carina Palumbo
\r\nLinked TV. Enhancing experience of watching TV. What users need to make\r\ndecisions / inform opinions.
\r\nExperiment - oil worth the risk?
\r\nPublished at EuroITV.
\r\nConclusions
\r\nQuestions
\r\nHand annotations are error prone - how to validate?
\r\nMedia stuff - there can be uncertainty, people don't always care.
Motivating researchers to annotate...
\r\nMake a game.
Store whole video or segements?
\r\nW3C fragment identification standards - timestamps via URLs.
Collaborative ontology development from Natasha Noy (sssw2012)
\r\nStanford, Protégé.
\r\nIn past 10-15 years, through collaboration with scientists (particularly\r\nbiomed), ontologies have become essential.
\r\nDon't need to sell ontologies to scientists, they believe in it.
\r\nFocus on science because that's where she has experience etc.
\r\nWe're not so bad at versioning ontologies, more versioning data is the\r\nproblem.
\r\nExperts add stuff, curator checks quality, and publishes upcoming tasks.
\r\nSimilar to open source developments, but no research to compare the two.
\r\n\\\\\\\\- Different because biomed people are paid (well).
ICD - International Classification of Diseases.
\r\nConflict resolution:
\r\nUsers expect stuff like Web 2.0 interactions, Web interface.\r\nWeb Protégé:
\r\nTools and Techniques
\r\n
\r\nRecommender systems
Input: Set of users + set of items + rating matrix.
\r\nProblem - given user, predict rating for an item.
In real world, recommendation matrix data is sparse.
\r\nCan use hybrid approaches.
\r\nCollaborative RS:
\r\nKnowledge-based RS:
\r\nUser-based collaborative recommendation:
\r\nItem-based collaborative recommendation:
\r\nContent-based RS:
\r\nand profile of user interests.
\r\nDon't necessarily have complete descriptions of items - just have a 0 in your vector.
\r\nSimilarity between items:
\r\nUsing LOD
\r\nTo mitigate lack of information/descriptions about concepts/entities.
\r\nRecommender systems are usually vertical, but LD lets you easily build a\r\nmulti-domain recommender system.
\r\nTo avoid noisy data, you have to filter it before feeding your RS.
\r\nFreebase.
\r\nTiapolo
\r\nVector space model for LOD
\r\nMake a model of what is happening.
\r\nWeSenseIt \\\\\\\\- citizen water observations.
\r\nRiver belongs to citizens, not authorities.
\r\nPhysical sensors (hard layer) are expensive and brittle.
\r\nSo use people instead (soft layer, social).
Give people small sensors. Phones.
\r\nThen you just need software for information management.
Can't rely on phones.
\r\nOld people in Doncaster.
Give them easy sensors instead.
\r\nCosts about EUR 80.
\r\nOpen Source & hackable.
\r\nNot expected to substitute professional sensors, but a way to crowdsource\r\ninformation you would never get.
\r\nIn Delft
\r\nGive people flood preparation advice and record who ticks things off, to build\r\na picture of who/how/when preparations take place.
\r\nThe Floow Ltd
\r\n"Commercialises data solution for telematic insurance."
\r\nWorld divided 10x10m squares, sense things everywhere.
\r\nTraffic risks.
Sensors tell you people are going somewhere, not why.
\r\nThat's what social media can tell you.
Monitoring development of a house fire via Twitter.
\r\nSeeing events through the eyes of the community.
Social streams:
\r\nLarge music festival. Monitor geolocated messages, trends, topics and\r\nrelations.
\r\nMost 'critical' events were management issues.
\r\nDeveloping system to warn you automatically about things to pay attention to.
Look/listen for event within 72 hours. 10 minutes to find out what it was.
\r\n\\\\\\\\- Simulation of station bombing.
\r\nMinute by minute description of event.
\r\n1.5 billion messages.
Four things when monitoring:
\r\nBig problem - people tweet crap!
\r\nPeople don't realise when people nearby are in danger.
Deception on social media
\r\nFalse crowdsourcing political support on social networks.
\r\nSmear campaigns using bots.
\r\nBots to foster / prevent social unrest.
Identifying bots
\r\n23 behavioural features.
\r\nFeature set is open.
\r\nRecognise 90% of bots - more than humans can do.
Very small amount of tweets are geolocated, it's useless.
\r\nHave to use the text.
Timestamp is not necessarily correct.
\r\nIssues in events
\r\nNo infrastructure (eg. at music festivals).
\r\nPhone signal issues, phone charging issues.
Most tweets from outside event.
\r\nConclusions
\r\nNeed to convince citizens that authorities are not spying on them.
\r\nNeed to convince authorities that citizens are not all criminals.
Privacy and legality issues.
\r\nCreating a company on this research would be unethical.
\r\nNeed to pass the right message. Full disclosure. Non-intrusive use of tweet\r\ncontent.
What happens when authorities demand this technology for privacy-invading\r\nstuff.
\r\nHave to be careful with what you publish.
\r\nAlways assume the bad guys have thought of what you thought of.
\r\nAlways be in a situation where you can destroy your data at short notice.
\r\nBit legal barrage behind them. Know what they are/aren't allowed, know what\r\nthey do/don't have to do.
\r\nStart leading a blameless life.
Things to investigate further!

\r\nI came to the realisation between meetings that I need to scrap the term\r\nAmateur Creative Digital Content, because amateur doesn't really apply by its\r\ntrue definition and creative is too subjective anyway.
\r\nFocus on content creators, not content (so previous point doesn't matter so\r\nmuch anyway; maybe just need to look at existing ways people are describing\r\ntypes of users to make it clear who I'm concentrating on).
\r\nIn terms of emphasis of the thesis, I need to make a choice between taking a\r\ncognitive science/sociology perspective and a tecchie/engineering perspective\r\n(I choose tech because that's where I'm most comfortable, but the sociology\r\nside of things is still important).
\r\n(Therefore) I need to think concretely now about technology architecture.
\r\nNot to get too hung up on the Semantic Web; the technologies are a vehicle for\r\ntesting theories, rather than an end in itself (though I still think\r\nfacilitating a big linked data set of this sort of data is useful in the long\r\nrun for research and practical applications, I didn't labour that point).
\r\nSocial machines, and how Dave's process modelling language fits in, which I\r\nthink I get in theory but not practice (I'd probably have to look at a working\r\napplication and code to understand really). Some of the principles may be\r\nuseful further down the line, but probably not the language itself or\r\nanything.
\r\nTechnology-wise, I'm not thinking about anything novel or new, but more new\r\nways for how various Web and SW technologies are combined and applied to this\r\ndomain. (?)
\r\nSo maybe the novelty is in marking up various things about content creators\r\nand using this to infer information about the processes they're involved in\r\n(or want to be involved in) in order to then facilitate these processes,\r\nwithout (necessarily) ever explicitly representing these processes (because\r\nfrom the content creators' perspective, they're certainly not thinking in\r\nterms of formal representations of processes, and in many cases won't know\r\nwhat they're trying to make until it's done, for example).
\r\nHow to represent the inferences made might be novel and exciting, but I don't\r\nknow.
\r\nHmm, I still don't think I've figured out how to evaluate .. anything. Beyond\r\ncomparing activities of users with magical-new-system vs without magical-new-\r\nsystem. And maybe, going back to the this-big-dataset-is-useful idea, by\r\nfinding questions we can now ask about these kinds of communities that we\r\ncouldn't before because they were so fragmented.

\r\nProfiles shaped strongly by the needs of the service providers Problems of their own survival are also played out in this space Difficulties people may have managing profiles are sometimes down to easily fixable poor design things Interests of people fight with interests of service
