5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014 Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice 24-28 August 2014 in Davos, Switzerland
This talk discusses and illustrates EventGraphs, a genre of social network diagram that illustrate the social structure of mass conversations around events.
In this research, we deployed an automated fact-checking system (ClaimBuster) on the 2016 presidential primary debates and assessed its performance compared to professional news organizations. In real-time, ClaimBuster scored the statements made by candidates on check-worthiness, the likelihood that the statement contained an important factual claim. Its discrimination compared to professional journalists was high. Statements chosen for fact checking by CNN and PolitiFact had been scored much higher by ClaimBuster than those not selected. The topics of statements chosen for checking also mirrored the topics of those scored highly by ClaimBuster. Differences between the political parties and individual candidates on the use of factual claims are also presented.

‘Beating the News’ with EMBERS: Forecasting Civil Unrest using Open Source In...Parang Saraf
Abstract: We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of EMBERS, an automated, 24x7 continuous system for forecasting civil unrest across 10 countries of Latin America using open source indicators such as tweets, news sources, blogs, economic indicators, and other data sources. Unlike retrospective studies, EMBERS has been making forecasts into the future since Nov 2012 which have been (and continue to be) evaluated by an independent T&E team (MITRE). Of note, EMBERS has successfully forecast the June 2013 protests in Brazil and Feb 2014 violent protests in Venezuela. We outline the system architecture of EMBERS, individual models that leverage specific data sources, and a fusion and suppression engine that supports trading off specific evaluation criteria. EMBERS also provides an audit trail interface that enables the investigation of why specific
predictions were made along with the data utilized for forecasting. Through numerous evaluations, we demonstrate the superiority of EMBERS over baserate methods and its capability to forecast significant societal happenings.

NG2S: A Study of Pro-Environmental Tipping Point via ABMsKan Yuenyong
A study of tipping point: much less is known about the most efficient ways to reach such transitions or how self-reinforcing systemic transformations might be instigated through policy. We employ an agent-based model to study the emergence of social tipping points through various feedback loops that have been previously identified to constitute an ecological approach to human behavior. Our model suggests that even a linear introduction of pro-environmental affordances (action opportunities) to a social system can have non-linear positive effects on the emergence of collective pro-environmental behavior patterns.
This is a brief a brief review of current multi-disciplinary and collaborative projects at Kno.e.sis led by Prof. Amit Sheth. They cover research in big social data, IoT, semantic web, semantic sensor web, health informatics, personalized digital health, social data for social good, smart city, crisis informatics, digital data for material genome initiative, etc. Dec 2015 edition.
