Beyond Copyright: Risk, Benefit and Charting a Course for ActionOCLC Research
Merrilee Proffitt and Ricky Erway's "Beyond Copyright: Risk, Benefit and Charting a Course for Action" presentation at the RLG Partnership Annual Meeting, June 1, 2009.
Presentation about the Community and Regional Food Systems project given at the 2013 Wisconsin Local Food summit.
Included is an overview of the project, discussion of the food system framework we're creating, examples from our community engagement projects (carrots to schools, lead contamination, food policy council evaluation, healthy corner stores), and a review of our project's values and outcomes (just, healthy, place-based, prosperous, and sustainable).
This presentation provides community-based strategies for preparing your library community for a Town Hall meeting or SB2 Deliberative Session including coalition building. John Chrastka presented "Campaigning for Your Warrant Article" on May 19, 2004 at the New Hampshire Library Trustees annual conference in Concord.
Challenges and Opportunities in Building a Regional Food System in Truckee-TahoeTahoe Silicon Mountain
Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Susie Sutphin to present: “Challenges and Opportunities in Building a Regional Food System.”
Living in the non-agricultural “food desert” of the high alpine Truckee-Tahoe environment presents challenges in food security, lends itself to a lack of sustainably grown food, and can leave us disconnected from our food-abundant neighbors. Not every community can grow their own food, but we can take responsibility for how our regionally-grown food is sourced and distributed.
Susie Sutphin, Executive Director of the non-profit Tahoe Food Hub and a 15-year Truckee resident, will discuss how the Tahoe Food Hub works to aggregate sustainably-produced food sourced from within 100 miles, while ensuring equal food access and exploring ways to grow food locally using 4-season growing techniques.
She’ll discuss the challenges and opportunities in creating this grassroots effort that aims to galvanize our community to build a regional, sustainable and equitable food system.
You can learn more about the Tahoe Food Hub here: http://www.tahoefoodhub.org/
The meeting will be on Monday, April 13th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5 fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.
This month’s event is sponsored by New Leaders, Clear Capital and Your Truckee Office.

Presentation for the Bibliometrics & Research Assessment Symposium 2020 (bibSymp20) https://www.nihlibrary.nih.gov/services/bibliometrics/bibSymp20
October 9, 2020
Retraction is intended to remove articles from the citable literature. However, a series of studies from over 30 years, from 1990 through 2020, have found that many retracted papers continue to be cited, and cited positively, even following misconduct-related retractions. For instance, a fraudulent clinical trial report retracted in 2008 continues to receive citations in 2020, and 96% of post-retraction citations do not mention its citation - perhaps because its retraction not marked on the publisher website and its retraction notice cannot be readily retrieved from 7 out of 8 databases (8 out of 9 database records) we tested. This talk draws an ongoing systematic mapping study of research about retraction and our own research projects to summarize what is known about post-retraction citation in biomedicine. We outline practical steps that authors and reviewers can take to avoid being caught out by poorly marked retracted papers.

JCDL2020 full paper.
Abstract:
Scientific digital libraries speed dissemination of scientific publications, but also the propagation of invalid or unreliable knowledge. Although many papers with known validity problems are highly cited, no auditing process is currently available to determine whether a citing paper’s findings fundamentally depend on invalid or unreliable knowledge. To address this, we introduce a new framework, the keystone framework, designed to identify when and how citing unreliable findings impacts a paper, using argumentation theory and citation context analysis. Through two pilot case studies, we demonstrate how the keystone framework can be applied to knowledge maintenance tasks for digital libraries, including addressing citations of a non-reproducible paper and identifying statements most needing validation in a high-impact paper. We identify roles for librarians, database maintainers, knowledge base curators, and research software engineers in applying the framework to scientific digital libraries.

Discussion points:
* Methods are a key part of the Knowledge Organizing Structure for Evidence-Based Medicine.
* Methods relate to how we GENERATE evidence.
* Different methods generate evidence of different kinds and strength.
* I believe Methods can be useful in mining claims and arguments from papers: methods AUTHORIZE claims.
* More specialized hierarchies of evidence can be found in medicine
* Various groups are complicating the “evidence pyramid” hierarchy of evidence.

Beyond Randomized Clinical Trials: emerging innovations in reasoning about he...jodischneider
Talk at the 3rd European Conference on Argumentation
ABSTRACT: Specialized fields may at any time invent new inference rules—that is, new warrants—to improve on their stock of resources for drawing and defending conclusions. Yet disagreement over the acceptability of an invented warrant can always be re-opened. Randomized Clinical Trial is widely regarded as the gold standard for making inferences about causal relationships between medical treatments and patient outcomes. Once controversial, RCT achieved broad acceptance within the field as a result of warrant-establishing arguments circulating in the medical literature starting in the 1950s. And RCT has accumulated a very impressive track record of generating new conclusions that withstand critical scrutiny.
Here we look at two emerging innovations whose purpose is to support reasoning about health, offering ways to generate different classes of conclusions. These innovations could be seen as complementary to RCTs, but for both there are also hints of challenge to the enormous prestige of RCTs. We see this most particularly in the gap that has developed between the RCT-generated fact base and the decisions doctors and health policy officials have to make about treatments for patients. We’ve mentioned before that specialized inference methods that become stabilized within an expert community can meet unexpected challenges when they become components of reasoning by other communities. The two innovations considered here each allow us to explore the tensions that arise from the contrasting perspectives of scientists, clinicians, and patients.
Publishers are caretakers of science. Part of that work is maintaining the integrity of scientific literature. Science builds directly upon past work, so we need to be sure that we are building upon a solid foundation and not faulty research. Publishers need to take an active role in monitoring and tracking faulty, retracted research and its influence. I'm asking publishers to (1) clearly mark retracted papers; (2) alert authors who have already cited a retracted paper; and (3) before publishing an article, check its bibliography for retracted papers.
Retracted papers should be clearly marked everywhere they appear, but today that is not the case. Publishers can also use the CrossRef CrossMark service, which lets readers check for article updates (such as retraction) from a little red ribbon at the top of an article. Checking for citations to retracted articles, and limiting future citations, can help science self-correct by shoring up its foundations.
The structure of citation networks provides evidence about how scientific information is diffused. Problematic citation patterns include the selective citation of positive findings, citation bias, as well as the continued citation of retracted literature (i.e. literature formally withdrawn due to error, fraud, or ethical problems). For instance, there is some evidence that positive results tend to receive more citations. The public domain licensing of the Open Citations Corpus makes it possible, in principle, to estimate the likelihood that any network of research papers suffers from problematic citation. To-date, problematic citation been documented ad-hoc, in several striking studies. In Alzheimer's disease research, biased citation, ignoring critical findings, was used to support successful U.S. NIH grant proposals (Greenberg 2009). Mistranslation of obesity research has been used to justify exertion game research (Marshall & Linehan 2017). Citation of fraudulent research about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease continued after its retraction (Fulton et al. 2015). The data resulting from such studies is of great use to my lab in replicating and determining how to generalize the detection of problematic citation patterns. Previously, the detection of problematic citation patterns has been a side effect of astute researchers, noticing suspicious findings while conducting systematic literature reviews. This talk will describe work-in-progress in my lab detecting problematic citation patterns using natural language processing, combined with network analysis on the Open Citations Corpus.

Presentation: Jodi Schneider and Novejot Sandhu, “Modeling Alzheimer’s Disease Reseach Claims, Evidence, and Arguments from a Biology Research Paper.” 9th International Conference on Argumentation, International Society for the Society of Argumentation, Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 5, 2018
Abstract: Argument visualization may help make research papers easier to understand, which could both speed quality assessment within a discipline and help build interdisciplinary knowledge networks. This paper presents a case study of the arguments in a single high-profile paper on Alzheimer's disease research. Within this one paper, we analyze and hand-annotate the main claim, which is supported by 4 subclaims, in turn supported by data, methods, and materials. We also investigate how the paper imports and uses knowledge claims from other research papers. We create a specialized argument-based knowledge representation called a micropublication. In future work, we will investigate automatic argumentation mining for experimental biology research papers. Our long-term vision is to create literature-scale claim-argument networks that help more quickly use new knowledge about human health.

Presentation: Jodi Schneider and Sally Jackson, “Innovations in Reasoning About Health: The Case of the Randomized Clinical Trial.” 9th International Conference on Argumentation, International Society for the Society of Argumentation, Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 5, 2018
Abstract: Field-dependence in argumentation comes about through forms of inference invented by specialized fields. In recent work we introduced the concept of a "warranting device": (1) an inference license (2) invented for a specialized argumentative purpose and (3) backed by institutional, procedural, and material assurances of the dependability of conclusions generated by the device. Once established, fields employ such devices across many situations without further defense, even as the devices develop in response to newly-noticed problems.
Many new warranting devices have appeared over the past century to solve problems in reasoning about health and medicine, replacing and obsolescing earlier forms of medical reasoning. One such device is the Randomized Controlled Trial. This case study traces its historical evolution and discusses some current movements toward competing device types.

Medication safety as a use case for argumentation mining, Dagstuhl seminar 16...jodischneider
Medication safety as a use case for argumentation mining
We present a use case for argumentation mining, from biomedical informatics, specifically from medication safety. Tens of thousands of preventable medical errors occur in the U.S. each year, due to limitations in the information available to clinicians. Current knowledge sources about potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) often fail to provide essential management recommendations and differ significantly in their coverage, accuracy, and agreement. The Drug Interaction Knowledge Base Project (Boyce, 2006-present; dikb.org) is addressing this problem.
Our current work is using knowledge representations and human annotation in order to represent clinically-relevant claims and evidence. Our data model incorporates an existing argumentation-focused ontology, the Micropublications Ontology. Further, to describe more specific information, such as the types of studies that allow inference of a particular type of claim, we are developing an evidence-focused ontology called DIDEO--Drug-drug Interaction and Drug-drug Interaction Evidence Ontology. On the curation side, we will describe how our research team is hand-extracting knowledge claims and evidence from the primary research literature, case reports, and FDA-approved drug labels for 65 drugs.
We think that medication safety could be an important domain for applying automatic argumentation mining in the future. In discussions at Dagstuhl, we would like to investigate how current argumentation mining techniques might be used to scale up this work. We can also discuss possible implications for representing evidence from other biomedical domains.

A talk for the Moore Institute for Humanities -
People and documents are of enduring interest. Documents may be generated by individuals, collective groups, and administrations, on any number of topics. We are particularly interested in the relationships between people and documents. The most important relationships are creation (authors, illustrators, translators, ...), usage (e.g. association copies), and topic-of (e.g. people may be the subjects of biographies).
In this lecture, we will talk about several approaches for modeling, or representing, people and documents. We pay particular attention to computer-based approaches to organization, and to organizing information for websites. We will talk briefly about TEI and XML, and the focus on my area of research expertise: modeling "linked data", a widely adopted approach for interlinking data. Adopted by the UK and US governments and search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, linked data has also been widely used in the digital humanities and by libraries, archives, and museums. It consists in naming objects of interest (be they authors, documents, or whatnot) and using standard data formats to enable interlinking.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

7. Fame Monster: Album? EP?
• Why is it considered an EP? With 8 tracks it might as well be an album.
For example, Madonna is an eight-track album. And was a cosensus
reached in order for this to have its own page? --12345abcxyz20082009
(talk) 20:53, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
• Yes consensus was reached that is how it became unprotected and EP
was just the choice of one editor. I wouldn't object to it being an album
since that is what the sources say. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 20:57, 12
November 2009 (UTC)
• It is NOT an EP. First it was considered a re-release, but then Gaga
herself said shes ripping this and the original "Fame" apart. Therefore,
The Fame Monster will in fact be sold as a single album.
8. Why Talk pages?
• Juicy discussions
Ok, I changed this. What do you think?
• Meant to improve the article
Needs a copyedit!
• Negotiating knowledge
Is Fame Monster an album or EP?

11. Talk pages: Observations
- Length
- When is it ok to
• Talk pages are LONG.
challenge previous
discussions
- Old discussions can be
on the page
• Can be used for consensus building.
• Conflict happens, too (productive & not).
• Comments get varying responses (+, -, none),
over hours...days...months.
• Pending & completed tasks may be discussed.
• “we already decided that” - see the archives!
12. Lots of Talk page research!
• Admin candidates: “[User] interactions
need to be helpful and polite.” - Burke
• Uses & Usefulness depend on article stage:
formation, reorganization, maintenance...
- Hansen (uses)
- Kittur & Kraut (usefulness)
“more than half of all
edits in the first week of
an article are made to
the talk page rather
than to the content of
the article” - Kittur &
Kraut
14. Are Talk pages overhead?
• Talk pages are overhead - similar to fighting
vandals & developing policies (Suh)
• Respect the process: it’s not all overhead.
“The Wikipedian community is
strengthened by the difficult work of
seeking consensus” (Kriplean)
15. Things I believe about
Talk pages Conflict, scalability
• Social fabric matters:
humor, responsiveness, sensitivity.
• Talk pages can surface small communities
around a topic. But there isn’t always one.
• Critical mass matters.
• Their importance may depend on who we
are: readers, new editors, Wikipedians.
• Too much “consensus” can be harmful:
‘we decided already’, ‘see the archives’.

17. My Research Questions
• How and why do Talk pages vary?
• What do Wikipedians (and readers) do on
Talk pages? What tasks are they used for?*
• Can we add structure to make pages “fit”
how editors and readers use them?
*volunteers

24. Why do Talk pages vary?
• Examine 100 Talk pages using 5 categories:
• Most editors (of the article)
• Most visits (to the article)
• Controversial
• Featured Articles
• Random
25. Categorizing comments
• Referencing a(n)... • Requesting...
• edit • editing coordination
• guideline or policy • help elsewhere
• revert or controversy • information about the
topic
• source
• a peer-review
• vandalism
• Also: polls, images, info
• internal resource boxes, off-topic

29. Adding structure
• Categorize comments (authors or crowd)
• Add semantic RDFa markup
• Pull it out with JavaScript (or SPARQL)
- highlight comments about a user’s own edit
30. Structure could help!
• “Show all comments mentioning a source
outside Wikipedia” (including non-
hyperlinked ones)
• Transclude requests for information to the
Wikipedia Reference Desk for a topic
• Make archives more readable/usable
31. How do you want to be
attributed in research
papers? (username/IP
address? URL to page?
something else?)
What about making
Talk pages “fit”
Wikipedians’ uses?

{{Volunteers
needed}}
• Informal interviews about Talk pages
• Evaluate the next version of my tool
• Comment & ask questions!
