Big Data, Big Flops: The gag reel of algorithms
The gag reel of algorithms. When programmers go into statistical learning without learning statistics, dangerous things can happen.
Slicing Big Data: Gambling, Twitter & Time Sensitive Information
Presented at the Internet Researchers conference in Denver, CO -- 26 October 2013. Discusses Gambling, Reality TV, and World Events in the Context of Twitter Data, and selecting usable data from big data.
Database or search engine?
This document provides guidance on using databases versus search engines to find different types of information. It discusses using a search engine like Fandango to find movie showtimes, reputable magazines and journals to find objective information about political candidates, health databases through the library subscription to research whether coffee is bad for health, and the biography database to learn about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It also recommends using a major search engine's news section to get the most up-to-date information, like the exact magnitude of an earthquake.
Anticipatory Intelligence
This document discusses four enablers of anticipatory intelligence: new trust models, publicly available information ("big data" OSINT), proxy variable selection, and radical quantification. It provides examples of how aggregating and analyzing large amounts of publicly available data through techniques like counting, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis can provide insights and even anticipate future events. Proper quantification and visualization of proxy variables can unlock insights from aggregated human behaviors and trends.
The FBI hand behind Russia-gate
Special Report: In the Watergate era, liberals warned about U.S. intelligence agencies manipulating U.S. politics, but now Trump-hatred has blinded many of them to this danger becoming real, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern notes. Russia-gate is becoming FBI-gate, thanks to the official release of unguarded text messages between loose-lipped FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok and his garrulous girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. (Ten illustrative texts from their exchange appear at the end of this article.)
William Powers - MIT Media Lab
A research scientist from the MIT Media Lab explains how a new data analytics machine is giving the public a new window into the intersection of news and social media.
Visualizing the 2017 BC Election
This document describes a visualization project to explore polling data and projected results for the 2017 British Columbia provincial election. The project goals are to: [1] Show the new electoral boundaries for BC; [2] Allow users to input poll numbers and see predicted results based on a swing model; and [3] Visualize the effects of polling margins of error. It provides example projections based on transposing 2013 election results onto the new boundaries and adjusting vote totals based on recent polling data.
Into the Void
Tim Lossen discusses the challenges of building social games at Wooga including high traffic of 2 million users and 15 million visits per day, and storing large amounts of user data for their 40 million total users. He notes that hot game data needs fast access and questions whether a database is even needed. Lossen also provides recommendations on using Amazon S3 for storage, the JRuby programming language, and challenging assumptions in their systems.

New information for new journalists pt2: data
This document discusses data journalism and provides tips for finding, cleaning, visualizing, and combining data sources to tell stories. It begins with an introduction to data journalism and provides examples of successful data-driven journalism projects. It then offers guidance on finding both public and private data sources, cleaning data to reduce errors, visualizing data to identify patterns and stories, mashing or combining different data sets, and making data computer-readable to build applications. The overall message is that data journalism involves using data to drive the discovery of new stories and insights.
news:rewired - Linked data and the semantic web
This document discusses the Guardian News & Media's use of linked data and the semantic web to tag and connect their content. It notes that their content is now tagged with identifiers like ISBNs and MusicBrainz IDs to link related entities. It also discusses the increasing availability of government linked open data and how this can be used to provide additional context for news stories. The document advocates for making the Guardian's content accessible through consistent and open APIs and linking to outside datasets to enrich content.
Dsp bbc-jem rayfield-semtech2011
The document summarizes the BBC's transition from a static publishing system to a dynamic semantic publishing (DSP) system. Some key points:
1) The static system was inflexible and did not allow for automated or personalized content publishing for large events like the World Cup or Olympics with thousands of pages.
2) The DSP system uses semantic technologies like ontologies, triplestores, and SPARQL to dynamically generate personalized and aggregated pages from tagged content assets.
3) This allowed the BBC to dramatically increase the breadth of published content while reducing journalist headcount through automated publishing. Events like the 2014 World Cup were covered with hundreds of dynamically generated pages.

This story was not written by a robot
The document discusses the rise of automated journalism using artificial intelligence. Some key points:
- News organizations like the Associated Press now use algorithms to automatically generate basic news articles on routine topics like earnings reports and sports scores based on underlying data.
- These automated articles make up a small fraction of overall output currently, but their use is growing to cover more minor events efficiently.
- Researchers have also developed techniques to analyze patterns in news stories like car chases and generate realistic-sounding articles from new data, showing computers can recount sequences of events.
- While AI still cannot replace all human journalism, it allows fewer reporters to mass produce some types of routine stories, focusing human efforts on more complex analytical
The data race
This document discusses the importance of data and how companies can utilize data as a resource. It uses ESPN as an example of a company that has built a strong brand and services by collecting various types of data and making some of it available through open APIs. The document suggests that companies should collect and share their own data to develop new services, gain customers and developers, and stay ahead of competitors. It also describes hackathons as opportunities for companies to access new talent and ideas by providing their data and APIs.
Big data, live data, user data: BBC Future
This document discusses the future of journalism using big data, live data, and user data. It notes that while there is more big data being generated across industries, it still needs oversight. Live data raises questions around what systems could be used to alert, report on, and utilize information. User data presents opportunities to connect with and engage audiences, as well as opportunities for sousveillance, or monitoring those in power.
An FOI officer's guide to journalism and data journalism
The document discusses the role of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and data journalism. It notes that while FOI requests have provided valuable information for stories, the process is often slow and information is not always comprehensive. Alternative approaches like open data and APIs are suggested to allow journalists more time to verify information and speak to experts. The document also explores how automation and AI may increasingly assist journalists by gathering public data but that context and understanding limitations is still important.
data, big data, open data
Obama's 2012 reelection campaign leveraged big data analytics to build detailed profiles of potential voters using disparate data sources. They combined this data to create a "single view" of individuals to optimize fundraising, volunteer mobilization, and get-out-the-vote strategies. Predictive modeling was used to score voters by likelihood of donating or voting Democrat. Resources were targeted to persuadable voters in swing states. Regular polling provided insights to track debate impacts and allocate campaign efforts. The campaign's data-driven approach helped achieve record fundraising and turnout in swing states.

Annotated Bibliography DUE 0319. Please upload to Canvas. This.docx
Annotated Bibliography: DUE 03/19. Please upload to Canvas.
This assignment represents the next step in your research and is designed to push you to move ahead with your project. You will begin to find resources that will inform your research and provide you with both theoretical and empirical frameworks upon which you will be able to base your analysis.
I am asking you to find 5 sources. All of these sources must be library books, academic journal articles, book chapters, or other scholarly sources. What I do not want is a bibliography full of random web pages or news articles that you dug up. For each work you select, please write 200-300 words explaining the basic thesis of the piece and briefly summarize its argument. Please also explain its relevance to the project that you are working on for this class.
Of course, since this is a bibliography, I do expect you to properly cite your sources using one of the major citation systems (APA, Chicago, etc.). Entries should obviously be in alphabetical order, should be correctly formatted, should contain no superfluous information, etc. For example:
THIS IS AN IMPROPER WAY OF CITING THIS ARTICLE:
Artman VM. Documenting Territory: Passportisation, Territory, and Exception in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. GEOPOLITICS [Internet]. [cited 2019 Mar 6];18(3):682–704. Available from: http://proxy.lib.miamioh.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=cookie,ip&db=edswss&AN=000323409100009&site=eds-live&scope=site
THIS IS (ONE) PROPER WAY OF CITING THIS ARTICLE:
Artman, V. (2013). “Documenting territory: Passportisation, territory, and exception in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.” Geopolitics, 18(3), 682-704.

Stats Monkey - example BOSTON — Things looked bleak for the Angels when they trailed by two runs in the ninth inning, but Los Angeles recovered thanks to a key single from Vladimir Guerrero to pull out a 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday. Guerrero drove in two Angels runners. He went 2-4 at the plate. “When it comes down to honoring Nick Adenhart, and what happened in April in Anaheim, yes, it probably was the biggest hit (of my career),” Guerrero said. “Because I’m dedicating that to a former teammate, a guy that passed away.”
