Nothing Ever Happens Here: Story ideas and where to find themSusan Tantillo
This presentation is perfect for high school student media staffs who need help finding story ideas. Created by Candace Perkins Bowen, Director of the Center for Scholastic Journalism at Kent State University, and revised by Susan Hathaway Tantillo, a retired high school journalism teacher/adviser, the slides are in three parts. First, questions advisers can use with their media staffs to brainstorm ideas. Second, important resources for both advisers and their students to explore for story ideas to localize. Third, essential parts of any story idea assignment to avoid having students turn in a one-word topic and think that's an idea.

UVA Data Science Institute Master of Science in Data Science students Sean Mullane, Ruoyan Chen and Sri Vaishnavi Vemulapalli were motivated to apply data science tools and techniques to the problem, and see if protein structures can be quantitatively described, compared and otherwise analyzed in a more robust, efficient and automated manner. Potential applications include more effectively designed drugs to inhibit disease-related proteins, or even newly engineered ones.
The researchers received the award for Best Paper in the Data Science for Health category at the 2019 Systems & Information Design Symposium (SIEDS) meeting. Their project, "Machine Learning for Classification of Protein Helix Capping Motifs," focused on small segments of a protein called secondary structural elements. These structural elements are the basic molecular-scale building blocks that all proteins—and therefore life—build upon.

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.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
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.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

32. Why SNA?
Instead of focusing on
individuals in isolation,
SNA considers the importance of
connections and relationships
= More Realistic
Analyses?

SNA is using networks/graphs to recognize complicated patterns and dynamics in social relationship data.
Explain structure of a graph (nodes/edges)
Walkthrough a simple example of how you would build a social network.

Mention how edges can also have attributes – for example can weight by frequency.
Explain the difference between directed and undirected graphs.
Illustrate how you will need extra edge rows if a directed relationship is reciprocated.
For simplicity, we will just consider the unweighted, undirected graph.
Can already see some interesting patterns from the visualization
Houses are pretty clustered into distinct groups, without a lot of mingling
Cedric seems to be a bridge between clusters, having friends with people in both houses
Some people are more connected than others, ex Harry compared to Dean

SNA can help us answer some interesting questions about a network.
We answer these questions using a variety of network statistics. Brief explanation here, but I will go into depth with 3 common ones.

Why SNA is so powerful/why I like it.
Explain how SNA can be applied to a variety of disciplines, and how there is potential for new algorithmic and computing advancements.
Famous sociology example that used SNA in a similar way to our simple example.
Study looked at friendships within a school, found there was both separation by grade level and race. Gets a bit into community detection features (which we didn’t go into) as this is an example of homophily.

Short video showing the structure of U.S. Congress over time.
Mention a SNA prototype I was a part of creating at Visionist. Explain how this uses Twitter data, but not in the typical social network way (typically account focused) as we instead built word networks to track conversations over time.
The animated example looks at the conversation changing in response to the 2016 Turkish coup.
Not a comprehensive list – just popular open-source platforms.
Analysis:
R – igraph
Python – Networkx, igraph wrapper (less support, but faster)
Visualization:
R – igraph
Python – matplotlib, plotly, bokeh
Open-Source Software – Gephi
Frontend – D3.js, vis.js, cytoscape.js
GraphDB: neo4j, graphdb
HPC: Spark GraphFrames (seems the most promising)

Last year I was a part of the Queer Health Hackathon:
Brought together 75 data scientists, health providers, and policy experts to better understand health disparities in the LGBTQ+ community.
We were given access to a large de-identified patient-level dataset from a prominent academic medical center in the area. Sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) was well documented (HUGE deal by itself!) and LGBTQ+ patients made up 25% of the set.
The data lended itself to a variety of research questions including disease prevalence and clinical outcomes of the LGBTQ+ community (and different subgroups), SOGI data completeness and integrity, access to care, and intersectional identities.
I was part of a team looking to use SNA to explore issues related to healthcare access and quality of care. Explain our research goals, rationale.
For the SNA portion of the project, we transformed the patient level data to build networks of providers.
We duplicated this network creation process 3 times, for each population of interest (gender minority, sexual minority, and cishet control). We then extracted some of the network statistics discussed previously to look for differences in the provider networks.
To see if network differences (potentially healthcare access) actually have an impact on quality of care for SGM patients, we used a simple linear model (briefly explain).
