Editor's Notes

  • #3 Let me start by offering my appreciation for our Chancellor Dr. Fingerhut’s visionary leadership in establishing the Ohio Center of Excellence program that identifies Centers and program that generate world-class research and help draw talent and investment to the state. I would be remiss if I did not call out tremendous leadership that our President Dr. Hopkins and his entire leadership team has shown in regards to identifying and promoting these centers– my tanks to Dr. Angle, Dr. Bantle. Dr. Jang, and Dr. Sudkamp– thanks for your early and steadfast support for Kno.e.sis.
  • #4 In the 16th Century, Francis Bacon—an Englishphilosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist and author established deductive methodologies for scientific enquiry… and he said something that is more true than ever– Knowledge is Power
  • #7 A study of OECD countries over a decade showed that as much as 75% of the economic growth and most new jobs was due to knowledge-intensive services- and the importance of these services was not only limited only high-tech or IT areas, but pervaded all sectors of economy
  • #10 Let me give a technological introduction to what our center is about: we all face a fire hose of data-- Pubmed adds 2000 to 4000 citations per day, it is usual to add about 5 gig from a single run of a scientific experiment -- and just imagine how much data created by all the cameras and 40 billion mobile sensors in the world! But even with all the search and browsing tools we have, we face huge information glut. How do we make sense from the data? Just as humans apply their knowledge and experience to understand what they see– we apply domain model or knowledge to attach meaningful labels to these data. Then we can apply computational techniques to visualize, provide situational awareness, discovery nuggets of knowledge of information and insight. For example, from all that biomedical data, what a scientist may be looking for is– how can we treat Migraine? What has Magnesium to do with Migraine? Why does Magnesium deficiency cause Migraine? What is the process by which Magnesium affects Migraine?
  • #11 So what is Kno.e.sis about– it is about stepping away from the concerns of storing and searching data, to that of improving human experience, human effectiveness, human performance, human productivity.
  • #14 Our 15 faculty from 4 colleges are already engaged in multiple jointly funded grants, pending proposals, serving on interdisciplinary programs like Biomedical Sciences PhD program and on committees of students of colleagues.
  • #20 One of the hallmarks of the knowledge enabled computinginfrasturucture is Enabling machines to understand the data that they are processing. At the core of this vision also shared by the Semantic Web is having a formal representation of a domain or what we call ‘domain knowledge’ –the entities involved in a domain and how are they related to each other..Where do we get some domain knowledge from – one could look to domain experts to categorize world knowledge in that domain, borrow from legacy systems or in many cases tap into the knowledge that is already present in documents ..
  • #21 One of our projects in this space looks into scalable harvesting of community knowledge that exists about a domain in collaborative sources such as Wikipedia and scientific corpus to construct formal models of a domain
  • #22 Here is an example of a Human performance n cognition Ontology developed by us using this technique and which is being used by human effectiveness directorate at the AFRLSeveral part of this work were conducted in collaboration with Hewlett Packard research labs who currently conduct beta testing of a commercial version called Taxonom.com
  • #23 One application of building domain models is knowledge discovery or deriving informational nuggets present in data sources by using facts that you already know about a domain
  • #24 One of our efforts in this direction uses existing domain models such as the UMLS or those built from wikipedia to guide browsing of concepts in documents and use the browse trails to formulate hypotheses to discover knowledge that we did not know previously existed in the data.
  • #25 This work that envisions our information space as a web of relationships to connect diferent document or web resources represents in many ways the beginnings of the realization of the expansive memex vision and trailblazing that Dr Vanevar Bush outlined in 1945… As he was speaking to how our human brain navigates the information space… using an association of thoughts that link one item to the next
  • #26 Several tools that we built in this space are available online and also shared as an open source project with the community
  • #27 A second area where we extensively employ domain knowledge is in interpreting various forms of sensor data in order to achieve meaningful situational awareness..Today there are more than 40 billion mobile sensors on the groundAnd nearly 4 million people carrying mobile phones taking pictruesWith so many sensors around there is a lot of information available at hand surrounding any eventHow do u know that they all relate to the same event and lend an understanding for how event evolves?
  • #28 The knowledge enabled techniques we develop enable a fusion of Sensor data – lending understanding from the stages of identifying sensors, to gathering processing and using this data for situational awareness and sense makingSome of our work in this space is being supported by the sensor directorate at the AFRL next door.
  • #29 The last representative work we’d like to share with you is our work on making sense of social data, like those from Twitter and facebookaround news worthy events that are of interest to a populace.The goal is to offer an understanding of what people are talking about and paying attention to
  • #30 What the social perceptions behind the data might be, the multiple narratives
  • #31 Twitris is our effort in this direction to help users keep up with observations made around news-worthy events.. Before I hand over the microphone to Dr. Mike Raymer, I’d like to leave you with a short demo of the deployed web application.
  • #34 No where is it more important to enable the path from data to understanding than in the medical and life sciences!The barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration are high – natural scientists and computer scientists speak different languages.More new words in their first biology class than an entire year of a foreign language.We have demonstrated success in breaking down those barriers.Cross-disciplinary scientists (we make it our job) & cross disciplinary students.
