4 likes439 views
1. The document discusses using social networking strategies to create interlinked knowledge spaces by exploiting social capital, particularly in an agency context. 2. It proposes a system called n2Mate that would use social tools like popularity rankings, authority badges, and trust ratings to encourage people to reuse existing ontologies and standards when describing data. 3. The goal is to manageably reduce the number of ontologies created and increase interlinking between existing ones to improve semantic web functionality and avoid problems of limited interoperability.

Semantic Techniques for Enabling Knowledge Reuse in Conceptual Modelling
Semantic Techniques for Enabling Knowledge Reuse in Conceptual ModellingOscar Corcho This document discusses using semantic techniques to enable knowledge reuse in conceptual modeling. It describes how qualitative reasoning models can be semantically grounded and aligned using ontologies to provide ontology-based feedback. The techniques allow relating learner models to expert models to automate acquiring feedback and recommendations. An evaluation shows semantic web resources can ground domain vocabularies and ontology matching tools can align conceptual models. The approach supports creating semantically networked models to share and reuse conceptual knowledge.

IRJET- Cross System User Modeling and Personalization on the Social WebIRJET Journal The document discusses cross-system user modeling and personalization on social media networks. It proposes the Friend Relationship-Based User Identification (FRUI) algorithm to identify identical users across different social media platforms based on their friendship networks. FRUI calculates a matching score for candidate user pairs and only high scoring pairs are considered matches. Two proposals are introduced to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Experimental results show FRUI performs better than existing network structure-based methods. The real-world friendship network is highly individual, so using friendship structure to analyze cross-platform social media is more accurate.

Crowdsourcing Approaches to Big Data Curation - Rio Big Data Meetup
Crowdsourcing Approaches to Big Data Curation - Rio Big Data MeetupEdward Curry Data management efforts such as Master Data Management and Data Curation are a popular approach for high quality enterprise data. However, Data Curation can be heavily centralised and labour intensive, where the cost and effort can become prohibitively high. The concentration of data management and stewardship onto a few highly skilled individuals, like developers and data experts, can be a significant bottleneck. This talk explores how to effectively involving a wider community of users within big data management activities. The bottom-up approach of involving crowds in the creation and management of data has been demonstrated by projects like Freebase, Wikipedia, and DBpedia. The talk discusses how crowdsourcing data management techniques can be applied within an enterprise context.
Topics covered include:
- Data Quality And Data Curation
- Crowdsourcing
- Case Studies on Crowdsourced Data Curation
- Setting up a Crowdsourced Data Curation Process
- Linked Open Data Example
- Future Research Challenges
Designing Tag Navigation
Designing Tag Navigationadunne This document summarizes key points about designing tag navigation systems. It discusses three types of metadata: owner-created, technically generated, and user-generated. For user-generated metadata, it outlines why people tag, the three key stages of tagging (creating, using your own, using others'), and design considerations for each stage like making tagging easy and providing different views of tags. The document concludes that tagging offers an alternative to top-down classification and that understanding the broader tagging context is important when designing a tagging system.

Designing Tag Navigation
Designing Tag Navigationadunne This document discusses the design of web navigation through tagging. It summarizes three types of metadata for navigation: owner-created, technically generated, and user-generated (tagging). Tagging allows for self-organizing metadata but requires time to develop comprehensiveness and can be difficult to navigate. The document outlines three key stages to designing an effective tagging system: allowing users to create tags, navigate their own tags through different views, and navigate the tags created by other users.

If You Tag it, Will They Come? Metadata Quality and Repository Management
If You Tag it, Will They Come? Metadata Quality and Repository ManagementSarah Currier Presentation to Metadata Perspectives 2009, a conference held in Vienna, Austria in November 2009.
When we build collections of scholarly works, learning materials, or other educational "stuff", we want people to be able to find it. This raises a number of problems, including ensuring that resources are tagged with adequate metadata. In 2004 a pioneering paper on this issue noted:
"At its best, “accurate, consistent, sufficient, and thus reliable” (Greenberg & Robertson, 2002) metadata is a powerful tool that enables the user to discover and retrieve relevant materials quickly and easily and to assess whether they may be suitable for reuse. At worst, poor quality metadata can mean that a resource is essentially invisible within the repository and remains unused." (Currier et al, 2004).
Have the five years since the above-quoted paper was published borne out its prediction: that simply expecting resource authors to create their own metadata at upload would lead to metadata of insufficient quality? Have repository managers been able to persuade funders that including professional metadata augmentation is worth the money? What has been the impact of recent Web developments allowing easier exposure, searching and sharing of resources? How is metadata being treated within the emerging domain of open educational resources? And what does all this mean for repository managers wanting to increase the discoverability of their resources, and to implement workflows for creation of good quality metadata?

Hybridize Functions: A Tool for Automatically Refactoring Imperative Deep Lea...
Hybridize Functions: A Tool for Automatically Refactoring Imperative Deep Lea...Raffi Khatchadourian Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code—supporting symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged but at the expense of run-time performance. Though hybrid approaches aim for the “best of both worlds,” using them effectively requires subtle considerations to make code amenable to safe, accurate, and efficient graph execution—avoiding performance bottlenecks and semantically inequivalent results. We discuss the engineering aspects of a refactoring tool that automatically determines when it is safe and potentially advantageous to migrate imperative DL code to graph execution and vice-versa.

AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models - Brent Laster
AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models - Brent LasterAll Things Open Presented at All Things Open RTP Meetup
Presented by Brent Laster - President & Lead Trainer, Tech Skills Transformations LLC
Talk Title: AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models
Abstract:
Learning and understanding AI concepts is satisfying and rewarding, but the fun part is learning how to work with AI yourself. In this presentation, author, trainer, and experienced technologist Brent Laster will help you do both! We’ll explain why and how to run AI models locally, the basic ideas of agents and RAG, and show how to assemble a simple AI agent in Python that leverages RAG and uses a local model through Ollama.
No experience is needed on these technologies, although we do assume you do have a basic understanding of LLMs.
This will be a fast-paced, engaging mixture of presentations interspersed with code explanations and demos building up to the finished product – something you’ll be able to replicate yourself after the session!
