This document discusses data mining techniques for social media. It begins by reviewing the growth of popular social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. It then discusses how social media generates huge amounts of user data through interactions and content sharing. The document outlines opportunities to use data mining on social networks to gain insights into human behavior, marketing analytics, and more. It reviews common problems studied, like community detection, node classification, and modeling information flow. The conclusion emphasizes that social media provides a massive, open dataset for developing recommender systems and targeting marketing through predictive analysis of user interests and trends.
The document introduces the principles of Linked Data, which aims to share data rather than documents on the web. It describes the four rules of Linked Data and provides examples of existing Linked Data datasets as well as tools for publishing and using Linked Data. The document also discusses extending Linked Data to include geospatial and sensor data by linking web resources, structured geospatial databases, and unstructured geographic information.
This document provides an overview of natural language processing (NLP) including popular NLP problems, levels of NLP, the role of linguistics, sources of NLP data, tools and algorithms used in NLP, types of models including language models, and considerations for building practical NLP systems. It also describes a practical example of building a language detection system using word language models trained on Wiktionary data and evaluated using Wikipedia test data.
These slides accompanied the first part of the workshop that Vinayak Das Gupta and myself gave at the Data Visualization for the Arts and Humanities event, which was held in Queen's University, Belfast on 5-6 March 2015.

OpenAI and other large AI companies are lobbying for regulation in the US to create barriers that maintain their competitive advantage. However, open source models are becoming increasingly competitive through techniques like training on smaller specialized datasets, low-rank parameterization, and quantization. Progress in AI will be driven more by the curation and management of specialized, minimal, modular datasets for training and evaluation, which provides an opportunity for the data management community. Curation, rather than model size, will determine success by enabling specialized models trained on trusted data to produce correct, verifiable results.

Linked data takes advantage of web standards to better describe resources and make them easier to find. It addresses the need for a "library shaped hole" on the internet and the benefits of moving library data out of silos and enabling reuse through a MARC replacement like BIBFRAME. Challenges in transforming data and transitioning to new terminology are also discussed.
This document summarizes a meeting of the Land Use Systems Group regarding ongoing research into the nexus between digitization and landscape research. It provides an overview of the objectives to conduct a systematic literature review on this topic, identify research gaps, and suggest future directions. A preliminary literature review identified three relevant domains: the impact of digitization on landscapes, its interlinkage with landscape perceptions, and use of digitization for citizen science in landscape research. Next steps include a more detailed literature review and publishing a review paper on the current state of knowledge by March 2019. The research aims to better understand how digitization may influence landscape interactions and perceptions over time.
Taking it Public: Visualizing Geospatial Data on the Web Using Shinynacis_slides
NACIS 2016 Presentation
Jerry Shannon, University of Georgia
Kyle Walker, Texas Christian University
Julia Connell, University of Georgia
Governmental and non-profit institutions have increasingly created data dashboards based on open datasets to increase transparency and encourage citizen participation. Two limitations have hampered these efforts. First, raw datasets are often complex and difficult to decipher for non-specialists. Second, software to visualize trends within the data is expensive. For several of these systems, tools specifically for geovisualization are underdeveloped. In this presentation, we describe how Shiny, a data visualization system developed by RStudio, provides solutions to both issues. Shiny harnesses a variety of existing tools such as Leaflet, Plotly, and Highcharts, and encourages users to interact and explore datasets. As it runs on the free and open source R software, Shiny's cost is also minimal. We use two case studies to describe how Shiny provides an accessible way to facilitate data exploration for public audiences.
Social Networks and the Semantic Web: a retrospective of the past 10 yearsPeter Mika
The document summarizes the past 10 years of social networks and the Semantic Web. It discusses how early visions of a decentralized, interoperable Social-Semantic Web did not fully materialize due to social networks consolidating user data into silos. However, work continues through standards bodies to develop vocabularies and building blocks that could still enable a federated social web. It also notes that while online social science is now widespread, challenges remain around access to social data and the ability to generalize findings over time and platforms.
Experiments with semantic web markup and linked data for libraries. Loading and utilizing URI's on library MARC catalog records. Leveraging id.loc.gov name authorities links to connect patrons to WorldCat Identities.
This document summarizes recent approaches to web data management including Fusion Tables, XML, and Linked Open Data (LOD). It discusses properties of web data like lack of schema, volatility, and scale. LOD uses RDF, global identifiers (URIs), and data links to query and integrate data from multiple sources while maintaining source autonomy. The LOD cloud has grown rapidly, currently consisting of over 3000 datasets with more than 84 billion triples.
Roadmaps, Roles and Re-engineering: Developing Data Informatics Capability in...LIBER Europe
A presentation by Dr. Liz Lyon of the United Kingdom Office for Library and Information Networking, as given at LIBER's 42nd annual conference in Munich, Germany.
This document discusses the evolution of the web from a network of documents to a network of linked data. It begins by describing the original web of documents, which organized information in silos and had implicit semantics. The document then introduces the concept of the semantic web and linked data, which structures information as interconnected data using explicit semantics. It provides examples of how linked data can be represented using RDF triples and describes the principles of linked data for publishing and connecting data on the web. Finally, it discusses characteristics and examples of linked data applications.
This document provides a summary of a talk given by Tope Omitola on using linked data for world sense-making. The talk discussed EnAKTing, a project focused on building ontologies from large-scale user participation and querying linked data. It also covered publishing and consuming public sector datasets as linked data, including challenges around data integration, normalization and alignment. The talk concluded with a discussion of linked data services and applications developed by the project to enhance findability, search, and visualization of linked data.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
