Slide deck for the paper presented at the 2019 Conference on Information Systems Applied Research (CONISAR), Cleveland, OH, on November 8, 2019.
The objective of this paper is to describe the methods used to develop geographic information systems (GIS) dashboard tool and explain how it can assist nonprofit hospitals to identify priority neighborhoods. Multiple data sources from the 500 Cities Project databases were analyzed, and two online dashboards were created. The first dashboard is a hospital-specific composite dashboard, and the second is a comparison dashboard of health outcomes identified by both the hospital and the county’s community health needs assessment focused on neighborhood-level disparities. Hospital-specific health outcomes were Stroke, Diabetes, and Coronary Heart Disease. County-specific health outcomes were Obesity, Dental, and Mental Health. All of the six health outcomes were standardized, rescaled, and weighted within the final composite score. Tableau was used for developing the dashboards and geographically mapping the analyzed data. The maps were developed specifically for a large hospital in Florida; however, this methodology can be utilized by other hospitals across the US. City-specific data is essential to ensure the accuracy of community health needs. The development of an interactive, comprehensive map using Tableau is a useful tool for visualizing target neighborhoods for community health outreach. The integration of community needs assessment findings into the development of composite scores allows hospitals in the US to use this tool to inform community health outreach strategy adequately.

Plans for the University of Virginia School of Data ScienceMelissa Moody
The University of Virginia, through the largest gift in the University’s history, has the opportunity to play a national and international leadership role in data science training, research, and service by expanding the already successful Data Science Institute (DSI) to become a School of Data Science (SDS). When first presented to then President-elect James Ryan, he pointed out that a gift alone does not make a school. Particular concerns were sustainability and the impact on other schools of the University. Throughout 2018 and early 2019, we have crafted a proposal for the SDS that is financially and academically sustainable and that works in concert with all schools to enrich every student’s experience at a time when our society is increasingly data driven.
Data-driven decision-making, including greater accuracy, precision, efficiency, and responsibility in the use of data.
Fuel rapid innovation through faster iterative learning – fail fast, learn faster, execute smarter.
This presentation was provided by Scott Young and Sara Mannheimer during the NISO Webinar, Discovery and Online Search: Personalized Content, Personal Data held on June 19, 2019.
This webinar will discuss the special needs of digital humanities researchers and help you learn how to talk them about their information management needs.
Topics that will be covered:
What is humanities data?
What special considerations are involved in creating DMPs for humanities data?
Where can you store humanities data?
What will humanities funding agencies be looking for? What regulations apply to humanities data (e.g., data sharing, data management, data availability)?
What librarians should know before meeting with a humanist; how humanists differ from other researchers in the way they think about their version of data.

The Morrill Land-Grant Acts had the most significant positive impact on students' access to higher education. This is because this act made it possible for the new states in the west to put up colleges for their students. The institutions that were established gave a chance to a lot of farmers and other working-class people who could not previously access higher education. Since the land was the most readily available resource, it was given for these states to establish colleges. According to Christy (2017), even though some individuals misused the earnings from those lands, the Morrill land-grant Act gave the foundation of a national system of state colleges and universities. Finances from the lands even helped existing institutions, helped build new institutions, and other states were able to charter new schools.
Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger had the most influence in shaping how higher education institutions recruit and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This is because this ruling recognizes the benefits of diversity in education and validates any reasonable means which can be used to achieve that diversity. The verdict is even supported by a lot of studies which show that student body diversity promotes learning outcomes, and 'better prepares students for an increasingly diverse workforce and society…'" (The Civil Rights Project, 2010). Grutter vs. Bollinger laid a foundation for the diversity we see today in universities and colleges. Garces (2012) asserts that in our current world, which is diverse, access to higher education is what determines our legitimacy and strength. This all has been made possible by the Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger. The ruling helped break down stereotypes and for students to understand others from different races.

Big Data Analytics using in the Field of Education Systemijtsrd
This paper is a study on the use of big data in education analyzed how the big data and open data technology can actually involve in educational system. Present days we analyze how big mounts of unused data can benefit and improve to education sector. Big data has dramatically changed the ways in which leaders make decisions in natural science, Agriculture science, banking and retail business, healthcare and in education. In educations sector wide verity of digital data produced in every institution. For example the forms of data like videos, texts, voices etc. the digital educations improves both teachers and students understandings and improve teaching effectiveness. In education big data we use econometrics, causal inference models, social network analysis, text analysis, and linguistic analysis methods. Using different types of technologies adopting in education are mobile devices, teleconferences and remote access systems, educational platforms and services. This method is effectively used by students, teachers, academic faculty, specialists, and researchers in education. Gagana H. S | Sandhya B N | Gouthami H.

Systematic Literature Review and Research Model to Examine Data Analytics Ado...Karthikeyan Umapathy
Data analytics offers a wide variety of opportunities across all industries enabling improvements in all business operations. Data analytics adoption has several associated complexities making it cumbersome and challenging for organizations. In particular, small and medium businesses (SMB) and nonprofit organizations lag behind data analytics adoption, even though they are crucial for the economy and would benefit most from data-driven decisions. This paper aims to identify factors that influence data analytics adoption by organizations. We conduct a systematic literature review to identify articles relevant to data analytics adoption studies performed using survey methodology. We synthesize literature review results to propose a research model to investigate data analytics adoption in small & medium businesses and nonprofit organizations. The proposed research model was developed primarily based on Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework, combined with other factors relevant to data analytics adoption found in the literature. The research model investigates the influences of data analytics, organization, and environment characteristics on data analytics adoption by SMBs and nonprofits. We hope that further progress with this research will provide insights into helping SMBs and nonprofits adopt data analytics technologies.
In this research, we analyzed voter registration and elections data re-leased by the Florida Division of Elections to investigate the profile of Florida voter participation. The utilized data was associated with federal general elec-tions from 2014 to 2020. Data preparation issues were resolved during the data merging, including exact duplicates, multiple associated vote types, and misclas-sified vote types. The merged data consisted of voter ID, registration county code, zip code, sex, ethnicity, age, vote type for each general election year, voting in-dicator for each general election year, and county code. Boosted Tree model (with a misclassification rate of 0.22) identified zip code, age, and voter status are key factors that influence voter participation. Based on voter eligibility and total vote counts in each general election held between 2014 and 2020, voters were classi-fied into the following profile categories: always-voted (participated in all elec-tions), increasing-in-voting (participated in recent elections but not in the past elections), intermittent-in-voting (participated in some elections but not all), de-creasing-in-voting (participated past elections but not recently), never-voted (didn’t participate in the elections), and not-eligible (registered but under 18 years of age). Voter profile counts information was merged with Census demo-graphic information at the zip code level. To find insights into the voter profiles, we created Tableau dashboards to view voter profiles, voting methods, and the effect of census variables on voter turnout at the zip code level. We hope this dashboard helps organizations like the League of Women Voters of Florida target their voter participation and engagement activities at the zip code level.

A Systematic Review of Affordable Homeownership using Data Science MethodsKarthikeyan Umapathy
Interest in the global unaffordable housing dilemma is manifest in its growing publications. However, there is a limited systematic review of the literature concerning data science approaches to address the social issues of owning affordable homes through Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. The systematic literature review was performed using Google Scholar and followed the phases prescribed in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This study synthesizes data sources, tools, analytical approaches, and theoretical frameworks from the literature on affordable housing issues using data science methods. Our findings indicate that researchers have approached the issue completely differently from each other, with census data and usage of mapping visualizations as being a common trend.
Identifying Communities with Opportunities for Positive Youth DevelopmentKarthikeyan Umapathy
Game Face 4:13 Training Academy is a strategic camp developed by Mrs. Ashanti Jackson that exists to develop basketball skills, academic excellence, and ethical character within young people in the Jacksonville community. To identify the areas where GameFace can offer its programs, we collected data from the Census, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida Department of Health, Duval County Public Schools, Food Deserts, and Churches with Food Banks. We performed Factor Analysis and Correlation Analysis on the gathered data. We utilized the statistical analysis results to create a geographic information systems decision tool using Tableau.
Based on our analysis, we understand that youths are facing major issues in Duval County are Juvenile Arrests and Disciplinary Actions within schools. Zip Codes 32210, 32209, and 32208 have a higher number of all the issues analyzed. Game Face is on the right track to providing Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Training to youth in Duval County as these would help tackle these issues and create a positive impact on the lives of youth. We recommend Game Face collaborate with schools and churches in these communities to set up their training camp. We recommend Game Face gather data on youth involvement in training, leadership coaching, and healthy habits programs. We recommend Game Face to gather data related to student academic outcomes beyond Game Face training, such as college scholarships and high school graduations.
Longitudinal Study on the Generational Impacts of Habitat for Humanity: A Res...Karthikeyan Umapathy
Habitat for Humanity addresses the challenging social issue of providing affordable housing to income-constrained families. There isn’t much research on the generational impact of affordable homeownership on the families served by Habitat. In this research, we propose a longitudinal research design that will collect and analyze data gathered from families who received affordable housing. This study will be performed as a collaborative inquiry with a partnership from HabiJax, Jacksonville, FL, affiliated with Habitat for Humanity. We will be conducting semi-structured interviews focused on education, employment, wealth building, safety, neighborhood, health, and critical life-changing impacts. We will be collecting data every 5 years over the next 30 years. Collected data would be analyzed to identify the generational impacts of affordable housing. We will be sharing the findings with HabiJax decision-makers who could improve program strategies.
We analyzed voter registration and elections data released by the Florida Division of Elections to investigate the profile of Florida voter participation. We utilized data associated with general elections from 2012 to 2020. We merged an individual’s January 2021 voter registration data with elections data for above listed years. Several data preparation issues were resolved during the data merging process, including exact duplicates, multiple associated vote types, and misclassified vote types. The merged data consisted of the following columns: voter ID, registration county code, zip code, sex, ethnicity, age, [2012 to 2020] vote type, [2012 to 2020] voting indicator, and [2012 to 2020] county code. As it is computationally intensive to process data of entire Florida voters, county-wise data were merged into associated metropolitan, micropolitan, and rural areas (MSA). Based on voter eligibility and total vote counts on each general election held between 2012 and 2020, voters were classified into the following profile categories: always-voted (participated in all elections), increasing-in-voting (participated in recent elections but not in the past elections), intermittent-in-voting (participated in some elections but not all), decreasing-in-voting (participated past elections but not recently), never-voted (didn’t participate in the elections), and not-eligible (registered but under 18 years of age). Our analysis indicates that there is a considerable number of never-voted individuals regardless of MSA regions. Profile analysis reveals that metropolitan and micropolitan regions tend to have more individuals categorized as increasing-in-voting than always-voted. In contrast, rural regions tend to have more individuals categorized as always-voted than increasing-in-voting.

The collaborative community engagement triad model involves a partnership between the university, private, and nonprofit sectors to enhance the student learning experience while creating community impacts. This talk will introduce the triad model, and describe how it was implemented at the College of Computing at the University of North Florida under the Data Science for the Social Good (DSSG) umbrella. The talk will describe the challenges faced, how they were addressed, and the solutions developed in response. The triad model and the outcomes from the model will be demonstrated with example implementations from a capstone that leads to students producing software and other artifacts incorporating data science techniques in response to important societal problems. The talk will also discuss questions of scaling such efforts, and the next steps in the journey at the University of North Florida.
Security and User Experience: A Holistic Model for CAPTCHA Usability IssuesKarthikeyan Umapathy
CAPTCHA is a widely adopted security measure on the Web and is designed to effectively distinguish humans and bots by exploiting human’s ability to recognize patterns that an automated bot is incapable of. To counter this, bots are being designed to recognize patterns in CAPTCHAs. As a result, CAPTCHAs are now being designed to maximize the difficulty for bots to pass human interaction proof tests, while making it quite an arduous task even for humans as well. The approachability of CAPTCHA is increasingly being questioned because of the inconvenience it causes to legitimate users. Irrespective of the popularity, CAPTCHA is indispensable if one wants to avoid potential security threats. We investigated the usability issues associated with CAPTCHA. We built a holistic model by identifying the important concepts associated with CAPTCHAs and its usability. This model can be used as a guide for the design and evaluation of CAPTCHAs.
Florida Data Science for Social Good (FL-DSSG) Big Reveal event was held on August 7 (Monday) from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Nonprofit Center (40 E Adams St., Jacksonville). At the event, FL-DSSG interns presented findings and revealed insights gained from the Mayo Clinic, Changing Homelessness, and Yoga 4 Change projects.
A Research Plan to Study Impact of a Collaborative Web Search Tool on Novice'...Karthikeyan Umapathy
In the past decade, research efforts dedicated to studying the process of collaborative web search have been on the rise. Yet, limited number of studies have examined the impact of collaborative information search process on novice’s query behaviors. Studying and analyzing factors that influence web search behaviors, specifically users’ patterns of queries when using collaborative search systems can help with making query suggestions for group users. Improvements in user query behaviors and system query suggestions help in reducing search time and increasing query success rates for novices. In this paper, we present an empirical study plan designed to investigate the influence of collaboration between experts and novices as well as use of a collaborative web search tool on novice’s query behavior. In this research-in-progress study, we intend to use SearchTeam as our collaborative search tool. The results of this study are expected to provide information that could help collaborative web search tool designers to find ways to improve the query suggestions feature for group users. Additionally, this study will test the hypothesis that – having domain experts working with non-experts using collaborative search systems would immensely increase the query success rates for non-expert users, and help them learn querying strategies over the course of time. If the above hypothesis is proven, then use of collaborative web search tools during training of interns would be highly recommended.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

Future Directions
Using the dashboard, CAP has access
to student information related to
programs and schools – which will allow
them to target schools and enhance
particular programs.
Expansion of CAP
93. 2019 Florida Data Science for Social Good Big RevealAugust 20, 2019

This is important
because CAP
targets students
who wouldn’t have
access to art
education otherwise
CAP can use
dashboard to
monitor
students
progress
Conclusion
CAP GOAL:
Empower underserved,
school-aged children to
succeed in all areas of
their lives by providing
access to instruction in
the visual and
performing arts
CAP benefits
students in
terms of
academic and
life
achievement

How many of you believe you are an upstanding citizen?Examples of what a good citizen does
Some people go above and beyond and participate in a movement known as citizen science
GTM has opportunities to participate in citizen science ranging from water quality sampling to geocaching
Maybe change this idea to something about a world where students are collecting valuable research data and contributing to the scientific community
-Maintenance and restoration
-29 National Estuarine Research Reserves in the U.S.
-educators and students, environmental professionals, resource users and the general public
And all of the data they have isn’t being used by scientists
First we need to determine is the student data is usable…
Slide for precision and accuracy and explain why we chose these
Emphasize precision
Definition of precision
Further explain why we chose the data sources that we did
Make the maps the same size
Add arrow to point to st Augustine and to ponte vedra and then emphasize the scope of the reserve
First map one markekr for reserve
Second map two m arkers one reserve one pine island
Third map good
Add circles to specific areas we are zooming into
Indicate color of the location I am talking about
Explain lake vs river denotation
Explain the use of the dam and indicate with an error
Hide pine island on the legend and the boundary on the legend when not viewing it
-Data Transformation
-Volume
-Collection Processes
-Missing Data
-Fragmented Data Sources
-Inconsistent Data Entry

Replace with better control chart visual
Visually the student data looks to be in line with data collected by both the automated instrumentation and researchers at the reserve
Explain control chart
Chooose only one variable to highlight
Home and Ned come up at the same time
Fernandina Beach add the animate the meaning behind this
Recenter the little triangles
Redfine medical seeking
Blur, dots and labels on top.
Add Comparison map
Add the circle the says this is care coordination.
Bring in the lines more to the circle
Add thickness in to the recidivism lines
These recidivism rates don’t account across the stitutions, up until now now one had accounted for those indivudls. Recidivism as a whole, not just the nisutions.
RR needs to come before the first 14% / with it ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Less bigger
Scoot green over
As you can see we had a number of data sources and variables of different topics0op0 that had to come together in dashboard framework
