Mendeley: More than a reference manager
This is a presentation that I gave during a UK tour in Sept/Oct 2014 at a number of UK universities
Many of us nowadays invest significant amounts of time in sharing our activities and opinions with friends and family via social networking tools. However, despite the availability of many platforms for scientists to connect and share with their peers in the scientific community the majority do not make use of these tools, despite their promise and potential impact and influence on our future careers. We are being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data. We also have many more ways to contribute to science, to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways, and many of these activities are as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose your scientific activities online. Many of these can ultimately contribute to the developing measures of you as a scientist as identified in the new world of alternative metrics. Participating offers a great opportunity to develop a scientific profile within the community and may ultimately be very beneficial, especially to scientists early in their career.

Maximizing Social Influence: A Case Study (or, GlassesA A Love Story Tamsen Webster
You know you have to pay attention to your advocates…and to bloggers…AND to high-social-score-wielding “Influencers.” But how do you put all of that together into an influencer outreach or marketing program that really works? The answer is surprisingly simple. Once you know how to score the effect different types of influencers have on your business, you’ll know how to shape outreach, incentive, and rewards programs that maximize your marketing efforts.
Takeaways
Using a real-world example, you’ll learn an easy model for how to characterize the four types of influencers, what benefits each group brings to your marketing efforts, and how to prioritize the groups based on budget, time, and effort.
The Right Pill for JRuby Memory and Thread Issues: Eclipse Memory AnalyzerVladimir Pavlov
Presentation given at Java2Days 2010 in Sofia, Bulgaria, about using Eclipse Memory Analyzer for troubleshooting JRuby memory and thread issues. Session abstract at http://2010.java2days.com/agenda/the-right-pill-for-jruby-memory-and-thread-issues-eclipse-memory-analyzer
SA is a global optimization technique.
It distinguishes between different local optima.
It is a memory less algorithm & the algorithm does not use any information gathered during the search.
SA is motivated by an analogy to annealing in solids.
& it is an iterative improvement algorithm.
We study influence maximization in which diffusion on each step may be delayed, and the objective is to maximize influence spread within a certain deadline. Both IC and LT models are extended, and efficient algorithms are proposed and evaluated.
This work appears in AAAI 2012. For the full version of the paper, please see: http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.3074
From Competition to Complementarity: Comparative Influence Diffusion and Maxi...Wei Lu
VLDB'16 Research Paper.
Influence maximization is a well-studied problem that asks for a
small set of influential users from a social network, such that by targeting them as early adopters, the expected total adoption through influence cascades over the network is maximized. However, almost all prior work focuses on cascades of a single propagating entity or purely-competitive entities. In this work, we propose the Comparative Independent Cascade (Com-IC) model that covers the full spectrum of entity interactions from competition to complementarity. In Com-IC, users’ adoption decisions depend not only on edge-level information propagation, but also on a node-level automaton whose behavior is governed by a set of model parameters, enabling our model to capture not only competition, but also complementarity, to any possible degree. We study two natural optimization problems, Self Influence Maximization and Complementary Influence Maximization, in a novel setting with complementary
entities. Both problems are NP-hard, and we devise efficient
and effective approximation algorithms via non-trivial techniques
based on reverse-reachable sets and a novel “sandwich approximation” strategy. The applicability of both techniques extends beyond our model and problems. Our experiments show that the proposed algorithms consistently outperform intuitive baselines on four real-world social networks, often by a significant margin. In addition, we learn model parameters from real user action logs.

Citation Metrics: Established and Emerging ToolsLinda Galloway
An overview of established and emerging citation analysis tools including Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar Citations and altmetric tools used to measure scholarly influence. The presenter will compare and contrast these tools and provide an example of a basic search in each resource.
With the flourishing environment of platforms for sharing data, establishing an online profile and engaging in scientific discourse through alternative modes of publishing and participation, there are numerous potential benefits. However, while many scientists invest significant amounts of time in sharing their activities and opinions with friends and family the majority do not make use of the new opportunities to participate in the developing social web of science, despite the potential impact and influence on future careers. We now have many new ways to contribute to science outside of the classical publishing model. These include the ability to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways on blogs and micropublishing sites, and many of these activities can be as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. Our efforts in this area are already being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data and increasingly we are being quantified. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose their scientific activities online. Many of these can ultimately contribute to the developing metrics of a scientist as identified in the new world of alternative metrics. Participation offers a great opportunity to develop a scientific profile within the community and may ultimately be very beneficial, especially to scientists early in their career.

Reputation Management for Early Career ResearchersMicah Altman
In the rapidly changing world of research and scholarly communications, researchers are faced with a fast growing range of options to publicly disseminate, review, and discuss research—options which will affect their long-term reputation. Early career scholars must be especially thoughtful in choosing how much effort to invest in dissemination and communication, and what strategies to use.
Dr. Micah Altman briefly reviews a number of bibliometric and scientometric studies of quantitative research impact, a sampling of influential qualitative writings advising this area, and an environmental scan of emerging researcher profile systems. Based on this review, and on professional experience on dozens of review panels, Dr. Altman suggests some steps early career researchers may consider when disseminating their research and participating in public reviews and discussion.
Panelist with Michael Twidale and Lisa Hinchliffe in a workshop event called "Managing Your Digital Footprint as a Scholar." I spoke about the landscape of online profiles available to scholars, particularly emphasizing the ORCID identifier.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
