Excessive exposure of unprotected skin to sunlight results in sunburn and can also lead to photo-induced oxidation, inflammation,
immunosuppression, aging and even carcinogenesis of skin cells. Pre-clinical studies show that typical dietary antioxidant, could reduce such
damages. Astaxanthin is believed to protect the skin against UV-light photo-oxidation and the in vitro protective effect of astaxanthin against
UV-induced photooxidation was stronger when compared with β-carotene and lutein. These findings suggest that astaxanthin has an excellent
potential as an oral sun-protectant. L-Carnitine is Traditionally used as a nutritional supplement in applications such as Weight management
programs, Promotion of heart health as well as Enhancement of exercise recovery. L-Carnitine Acts at a cellular level to deliver advanced skin health
appearance benefits. Several studies shown that Astaxanthin & L-Carnitine Combination in Astashine silver capsule is supportive of skin health and
in particular Contributes to skin strength and elasticity and thus Promotes maintenance of effective skin barrier to maintain healthy skin hydration.

CrowdTruth for medical relation extraction - WAI talkAnca Dumitrache
I will present the CrowdTruth (http://crowdtruth.org/) approach to performing relation extraction from medical data. CrowdTruth exploits inter-annotator disagreement as a useful signal, allowing us to evaluate data quality, such as ambiguity and vagueness at the sentence level, worker quality, and the quality of the target semantics. I will introduce a workflow for generating gold standard annotations for medical relation extraction through a series of crowdsourcing tasks. Then I will present an evaluation of the crowd data by comparing it with the current gold standard in medical relation extraction. The evaluation is performed by training a relation extraction classifier with both datasets, and comparing the results for F1 measure in a cross-validation experiment.
LFS302_Real-World Evidence Platform to Enable Therapeutic InnovationAmazon Web Services
Historically, there has been an information asymmetry in pharmaceutical R&D where the biopharmaceutical companies had the deepest understanding and knowledge about their products and how they helped and interacted with patients. Now, there's new, real-world data that exists from regulators, health plans, government authorities, and patients, which is helping pharma companies to understand how their therapies and their innovations drive value and impact in patient populations. There are imperatives to leverage that data, create new partnerships in their ecosystem, and get access to that data in an ethical way to derive insights to both fuel innovation and drive discovery. In this session, you learn best practices from Deloitte and Celgene about strategy, operating models, and execution frameworks when implementing a real-world, evidence data platform.

The Rijksmuseum Collection as Linked DataLora Aroyo
Presentation at ISWC2018: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/sessions/the-rijksmuseum-collection-as-linked-data/ of our paper published originally in the Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/content/rijksmuseum-collection-linked-data-2
Many museums are currently providing online access to their collections. The state of the art research in the last decade shows that it is beneficial for institutions to provide their datasets as Linked Data in order to achieve easy cross-referencing, interlinking and integration. In this paper, we present the Rijksmuseum linked dataset (accessible at http://datahub.io/dataset/rijksmuseum), along with collection and vocabulary statistics, as well as lessons learned from the process of converting the collection to Linked Data. The version of March 2016 contains over 350,000 objects, including detailed descriptions and high-quality images released under a public domain license.
FAIRview: Responsible Video Summarization @NYCML'18Lora Aroyo
Presentation at the NYC Media Lab (NYCML2018). There is a growing demand for news videos online, with more consumers preferring to watch the news than read or listen to it. On the publisher side, there is a growing effort to use video summarization technology in order to create easy-to-consume previews (trailers) for different types of broadcast programs. How can we measure the quality of video summaries and their potential to misinform? This workshop will inform participants about automatic video summarization algorithms and how to produce more “representative” video summaries. The research presented is from the FAIRview project and is supported by the Digital News Innovation Fund (DNI Fund), which is part of the Google News Initiative.

Crowdsourcing ambiguity aware ground truth - collective intelligence 2017Lora Aroyo
The process of gathering ground truth data through human annotation is a major bottleneck in the use of information extraction methods. Crowdsourcing-based approaches are gaining popularity in the attempt to solve the issues related to the volume of data and lack of annotators. Typically these practices use inter-annotator agreement as a measure of quality. However, this assumption often creates issues in practice. Previous experiments we performed found that inter-annotator disagreement is usually never captured, either because the number of annotators is too small to capture the full diversity of opinion, or because the crowd data is aggregated with metrics that enforce consensus, such as majority vote. These practices create artificial data that is neither general nor reflects the ambiguity inherent in the data.
To address these issues, we proposed the method for crowdsourcing ground truth by harnessing inter-annotator disagreement. We present an alternative approach for crowdsourcing ground truth data that, instead of enforcing an agreement between annotators, captures the ambiguity inherent in semantic annotation through the use of disagreement-aware metrics for aggregating crowdsourcing responses. Based on this principle, we have implemented the CrowdTruth framework for machine-human computation, that first introduced the disagreement-aware metrics and built a pipeline to process crowdsourcing data with these metrics.
In this paper, we apply the CrowdTruth methodology to collect data over a set of diverse tasks: medical relation extraction, Twitter event identification, news event extraction and sound interpretation. We prove that capturing disagreement is essential for acquiring a high-quality ground truth. We achieve this by comparing the quality of the data aggregated with CrowdTruth metrics with a majority vote, a method which enforces consensus among annotators. By applying our analysis over a set of diverse tasks we show that, even though ambiguity manifests differently depending on the task, our theory of inter-annotator disagreement as a property of ambiguity is generalizable.
My ESWC 2017 keynote: Disrupting the Semantic Comfort ZoneLora Aroyo
Ambiguity in interpreting signs is not a new idea, yet the vast majority of research in machine interpretation of signals such as speech, language, images, video, audio, etc., tend to ignore ambiguity. This is evidenced by the fact that metrics for quality of machine understanding rely on a ground truth, in which each instance (a sentence, a photo, a sound clip, etc) is assigned a discrete label, or set of labels, and the machine’s prediction for that instance is compared to the label to determine if it is correct. This determination yields the familiar precision, recall, accuracy, and f-measure metrics, but clearly presupposes that this determination can be made. CrowdTruth is a form of collective intelligence based on a vector representation that accommodates diverse interpretation perspectives and encourages human annotators to disagree with each other, in order to expose latent elements such as ambiguity and worker quality. In other words, CrowdTruth assumes that when annotators disagree on how to label an example, it is because the example is ambiguous, the worker isn’t doing the right thing, or the task itself is not clear. In previous work on CrowdTruth, the focus was on how the disagreement signals from low quality workers and from unclear tasks can be isolated. Recently, we observed that disagreement can also signal ambiguity. The basic hypothesis is that, if workers disagree on the correct label for an example, then it will be more difficult for a machine to classify that example. The elaborate data analysis to determine if the source of the disagreement is ambiguity supports our intuition that low clarity signals ambiguity, while high clarity sentences quite obviously express one or more of the target relations. In this talk I will share the experiences and lessons learned on the path to understanding diversity in human interpretation and the ways to capture it as ground truth to enable machines to deal with such diversity.
Data Science with Human in the Loop @Faculty of Science #Leiden UniversityLora Aroyo
Software systems are becoming ever more intelligent and more useful, but the way we interact with these machines too often reveals that they don’t actually understand people. Knowledge Representation and Semantic Web focus on the scientific challenges involved in providing human knowledge in machine-readable form. However, we observe that various types of human knowledge cannot yet be captured by machines, especially when dealing with wide ranges of real-world tasks and contexts. The key scientific challenge is to provide an approach to capturing human knowledge in a way that is scalable and adequate to real-world needs. Human Computation has begun to scientifically study how human intelligence at scale can be used to methodologically improve machine-based knowledge and data management. My research is focusing on understanding human computation for improving how machine-based systems can acquire, capture and harness human knowledge and thus become even more intelligent. In this talk I will show how the CrowdTruth framework (http://crowdtruth.org) facilitates data collection, processing and analytics of human computation knowledge.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
