The document summarizes a presentation given by Amit Sheth at the 48th ACM Southeast Conference in Oxford, Mississippi from April 15-17, 2010. The presentation discussed several real-world applications of semantic web technologies in domains such as financial services, defense and intelligence, and clinical decision making. Specific applications highlighted included risk analysis in banking, assessing intelligence needs, and powering an active semantic electronic medical record system.
Stellmach Advanced Gaze Visualizations For Three Dimensional Virtual Environm...Kalle
Gaze visualizations represent an effective way for gaining fast insights into eye tracking data. Current approaches do not adequately support eye tracking studies for three-dimensional (3D) virtual environments. Hence, we propose a set of advanced gaze visualization techniques for supporting gaze behavior analysis in such environments. Similar to commonly used gaze visualizations for twodimensional
stimuli (e.g., images and websites), we contribute advanced 3D scan paths and 3D attentional maps. In addition, we introduce a models of interest timeline depicting viewed models, which can be used for displaying scan paths in a selected time segment. A prototype toolkit is also discussed which combines an implementation of our proposed techniques. Their potential for facilitating eye tracking studies in virtual environments was supported by a user study among eye tracking and visualization experts.

A session from SemTech SF in June 2012
Abstract: As access to a richer set of knowledge and research continues to be critical to the healthcare community, the users of healthcare and life science solutions are demanding the same level of discoverability, integration, and innovation from their professional tools that they enjoy in their personal applications. Through the Smart Content initiative Elsevier seeks to semantically enrich its diverse offerings of health sciences content to both improve the performance of existing online resources as well as to enable the creation of the next generation of digital products. In this session, Alan Yagoda will discuss Elsevier’s efforts in developing Smart Content capabilities to power a new portfolio of strategic product offerings. The journey into smarter search and discovery resulted in a new infrastructure with a rich set of semantic capabilities include the development of a standardized medical taxonomy called EMMeT (Elsevier’s Merged Medical Taxonomy), indexing and content enrichment, and linked data services.

- How to develop infrastructures required to support multi-dimentsional insight
- What SAS is doing to make this a reality
Key topics include:
- Data governance
- Big data infrastructure
- High performance analytics

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
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.
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?
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.
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.
This work has been developed in collaboration with my peers at Kno.e.sis, Pablo N. Mendes and Dr. Cartic Ramakrishnan who is at ISI-University Southern California. Our Advisor is IEEE Fellow, Professor Amit Sheth.

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
What the social perceptions behind the data might be, the multiple narratives
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.
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.
