Harnessing the “data deluge” is promoting new conversations between disciplines. Prof. Marciano and his collaborators have been pursuing research in a number of areas including: big cultural data, access to big heterogeneous data, records in the cloud, federated grid/cloud storage, visual interfaces to large collections, policy-based frameworks to automate content management, and distributed cyberinfrastructure to enable data sharing. But more importantly, innovative technical approaches require the convergence of creative insights across computer science, the social sciences, and the humanities. This talk touches on these topics and highlights a new collaboration with partners at Duke.
Richard Marciano is a professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Director of the Sustainable Archives and Leveraging Technologies (SALT) lab, and co-director of the Digital Innovation Lab (DIL). He leads development of "big data" projects funded by Mellon, NSF, NARA, NHPRC, IMLS, DHS, NIEHS, and UNC. Recent 2012 grants include a JISC Digging into Data award with UC Berkeley and the U. of Liverpool, called "Integrating Data Mining and Data Management Technologies for Scholarly Inquiry," a Mellon / UNC award called "Carolina Digital Humanities Initiative," which involves the translating of big data challenges into curricular opportunities, and an NSF award on big heterogeneous data integration.

Presentation for KM 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Some believe that we are transitioning from the Information Age to the Hybrid Age in a technological revolution distinguished by ubiquitous computing, intelligent machines, social technologies, integrated scientific fields, and rapidly-adaptive development strategies. It is into this new age that we introduce a new kind of atlas—one that is itself ubiquitous, intelligent, social, and integrative. Web services provide easy access to the atlas content through ubiquitous computing on a wide range of devices—smart phones, tablets, laptops, and more—trillions of other devices that are connected via the Internet. The user interface seamlessly integrates the maps and supporting content. The user experience supports intelligent exploration through contextual understanding, intuitive findability, and desirable comparison. Social media links provide useful opportunities to communicate and collaborate with others.

Presented at the 2011 Indigenous Materials Institute in Ignacio, Colorado, June 7. This workshop addressed the use of digital technology in museums, presenting an overview of technology planning issues, case studies, and lessons learned. Presented by Terry Burton, Saul Sopoci Drake, and Sonny Lastrella. Facilitated by Brenda Martin. Institute organized by the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, & Museums.
Atlases are changing, although the paper paradigm of maps and atlases pervaded recent cartographic history. By nature that paradigm serves, as well as defines, a specific audience in terms of use and presentation. In the production process and at the printing press, the paper paradigm demands certain design and creation workflows that have drastically changed through evolutions in data, mapmaking techniques, and presentation methods. Technological transformations in mapping influence much of this change, and the resulting implications for the design, creation, and distribution of atlases are significant.

The Modern Columbian Exchange: Biovision 2012 PresentationMerck
The Columbian Exchange is a term used to capture what happened to North American Native Indians when the arrival of European settlers introduced ideas, animals, plants, and diseases that otherwise they had not yet been exposed to. Today, the Modern Columbian Exchange is occurring at a global scale, caused by unprecedented global travel and the Internet. An outcome of this Modern Columbian Exchange is disease outbreaks which have and will continue to affect dozens of countries in a very short time, impacting agriculture, tourism, and ultimately resulting in social tensions and the loss of life. The global response requires tight and timely coordination across countries. This necessitates the processing of large volumes of data – “BIG DATA” – which implies variety, variability and velocity. In this presentation, we explore the challenges of BIG DATA for preventative global health care. We answer the questions: a) how can human intelligence be more effectively leveraged to develop new insights, and b) how does this impact the design of data and information repositories? We conclude “The Time is NOW” for a new real-time analytics paradigm to transform the discovery and learning process.
Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...Micah Altman
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.
Big Data Past, Present and Future – Where are we Headed? - StampedeCon 2014StampedeCon
At StampedeCon 2014, Rob Peglar (EMC Isilon) presented "Big Data Past, Present and Future – Where are we Headed?"
Rob Peglar was one of the speakers at the very first StampedeCon. Following that talk two years ago, Rob will present an overview of and insight into the technologies and system approaches to computing, transport and storage of big data – where we’ve been, are now and are headed. There is a major ‘fork in the road’ upcoming in the treatment and business application of big data and the technology that surrounds it, one that is important enough to change the course of the methodologies and approaches used by large and small business alike, especially for the infrastructure required either on premise or in the cloud.
Real-World Behavior Analysis through a Social Media LensAli Abbasi
In this paper, using a large amount of data collected from Twitter, the blogosphere, social networks, and news sources, we perform preliminary research to investigate if human behavior in the real world can be understood by analyzing social media data. The goals of this research is twofold: (1) determining the relative effectiveness of a social media lens in analyzing and predicting real-world collective behavior, and (2) exploring the domains and situations under which social media can be a predictor for real-world's behavior. We develop a four-step model: community selection, data collection, online behavior analysis, and behavior prediction. The results of this study show that in most cases social media is a good tool for estimating attitudes and further research is needed for predicting social behavior.

Business considerations for privacy and open data: how not to get caught outtheODI
When all around you seems to be going "open", what should you know and bear in mind to avoid a privacy debacle. Unless your data is solely about inanimate objects, there will be privacy considerations for your business or organisation. Done properly, suitable consideration may be trivial; done badly, it can be catastrophic, and hindsight is always better when the stories are about a different organisation.With kittens and hopefully some humour, Sam Smith of Privacy International covers how your organisation can avoid a future audience laughing (uncomfortably) at the privacy choices you should have made for your users, your customers and citizens.
The Social Capital Effects: Resources, Tie Strength, & Digital Divides Wenhong Chen
More than 20 percent of Americans still have no access to the Internet. How to get them connected is critical to narrowing the digital divides. Drawing on a two-wave national panel dataset, this paper examines the implications of social capital for Internet access and use. Results demonstrate social capital facilitates Internet access and use. In particularly, resource-rich bonding social capital helps overcome the digital divides both in access, general use, and online communication. Before the Internet can revitalize social capital, there must be the right social capital in place to close the digital divides. Highlighting the effect of social connectivity on digital connectivity, the findings have important implications for policymakers and practitioners.

Self Health 231006 presented at HKPoly.pptxRamesh Jain
As technology stands poised to transform our lives, Self Health emerges as a vital innovation for the future, especially in key areas like chronic diseases, mental, and geriatric health care. Utilizing natural language processing and empathy, it provides trusted, perpetual health information and guidance tailored to each individual. Amidst a backdrop of modern disinformation, this conversational approach becomes a reliable source, considering genetic, lifestyle, and psychological factors. It revolutionizes chronic and geriatric disease management while enhancing mental well-being. By empowering individuals to take proactive health measures, Self Health not only elevates personal lives but also contributes to global health improvements. It signifies a future where healthcare is personalized, trusted, empathetic, and universally impactful.
Homeostasis is nature’s engineering behind the most complex autonomic system that exists: the human body. Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. Disruption in homeostasis results in malfunctioning of natural autonomic system causing chronic diseases. Chronic diseases have been the leading cause of death and human suffering in the last 50 years. They also have resulted in highest financial burden for individuals and countries. This can be corrected using external augmentation of the homeostasis loop. Recent progress in artificial pancreas for Type 1 Diabetes is a compelling example for such augmentation. In this presentation we discuss emerging multimodal approaches for such augmentation in the context of chronic diseases. We show that multimodal sensing and fundamental technology developed for multimedia computing may offer powerful augmentation of natural homeostasis to assist in management of chronic diseases.
Food is the most important component of the planet, human society, and every individual. However, our current thinking about food is filled with disinformation and siloed thinking. Can we use technology to unify the silos and counter disinformation?

Food is the most important element in determining quality of life. It is a source of enjoyment. It is also source of energy and nourishment to keep your body healthy. Bit, there is a serious tension: What I like to eat is not necessarily what my body wants me to eat. To enjoy food one must know individual tastes and effects of food on individual body. One should also know attributes of food related to taste and nutrition. In this talk this issue is addresses and an approach to recommend enjoyable healthy food is proposed.
What if an app could guide you to better health, similar to how GPS navigation directs you to your desired destination? What if the app could use real-time information to redirect you around a disease, just as you’re rerouted to avoid traffic? What if the app could provide step-by-step directions to get you to your optimal health state, whether you’re a professional athlete or retired school teacher? We discuss how this navigational approach to healthcare could become a reality by combining emerging technology with well-established cybernetic principles.
Rj imminent transformations in health shanghai 170510Ramesh Jain

Qualitative Causality discovers potential causal relationships among the underlying phenomena for understanding, prevention, and planning using qualitative human understandable events rather than quantitative variables.
The 21st century began with a major disruption: the rapid rise of smartphones meant that capturing, storing, and sharing photos and their context became easier than using text. Photos and videos communicate directly, without the need for language or literacy. Until recently, photos were used as compelling memories. Now, photos are increasingly used to convey intent and information.related to a moment. A photo may be linked to many other photos along different dimensions. One may also create explicit links among photos or objects in photos. All photos on the Web form a Visual Web that links photos with other photos and other information elements including all documents on the WWW. This Visual Web offers opportunities to address new societal issues and solve many difficult yet unsolved problems. We discuss nature of the Visual Web, technical challenges, and some interesting opportunities in this area.
ICSC2015 KeyNote: Semantic links in visual webRamesh Jain
Photos and videos are new documents. They are independent of language and literacy. By linking photos with other photos as well as other sources of information, we can create a Web that will be a visual Web. This web may be accessible to people in every part of the world.
Multimedia and Big Data are closely related topic. Big data enables solving some important challenges in multimedia and basic principles of multimedia are the key issues in multimedia.
From health persona to societal health uci 131202Ramesh Jain
Personal life style plays important role in a person’s health. It is now possible to analyze and understand a person’s life style. Most people use phones with myriad sensors that continuously generate data streams related to most aspects of their life. By correlating these multi-sensory data streams, it is possible to create an accurate chronicle of a person’s life. By correlating life events with health related events, obtained using wearable sensors and other common sources of information, one can build health persona of a person. Health persona of a person is a long-term objective characterization of a person’s health. By using health persona for a large group of people, one can analyze and understand health patterns and causes of different diseases in a society. In this talk, we present a framework that collects, manages, and correlates personal data from heterogeneous data sources and detects events happening at personal level to build health persona. We use several data streams such as motion tracking, location tracking, activity level, and personal calendar data. We illustrate how recognition algorithms can be applied to Life Event detection problem and then build an objective chronicle for a person. We show how this could be combined with situation detection and help people in making decisions in their every day life. In this talk, we will present our ideas related to health persona, its impact on societal health, and its use in making decisions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
