Detecting domain dynamics: Association Rule Extraction and diachronic clustering techniques in support of expertise

GTM Conference

Extended Abstract – EXTENDING TECHMINING METHODS session at “1st Global TechMining Conference” 2011

Author(s): Ivana Roche, Maha Ghribi, Nathalie Vedovotto, Claire François, Dominique Besagni, Pascal Cuxac (INIST-CNRS); and Dirk Holste, Marianne Hörlesberger, Edgar Schiebel (Austrian Institute of Technology)

Identifying the evolution trends of a scientific domain can be hugely interesting for the scientific research policy makers. The evolutions of a scientific domain can be studied by associating clustering techniques, generating a representation of the publication scientific landscape based on its extracted terminology, with a diachronic analysis of clustering results obtained at two different times. This work, developed in the context of a European project, aims to propose an alternative way by producing an assisted diachronic analysis of clustering results decreasing the load of the expertise phase.

Using Bibliographic Coupling as a Measure of Centerness in R&D Assessment

GTM Conference,

Extended Abstract – EXTENDING TECHMINING METHODS session at “1st Global TechMining Conference” 2011

Author(s):Jan Youtie, Julia Melkers, Luciano Kay (Georgia Institute of Technology)

This paper explores the use of bibliometrics in R&D assessment. In particular, we put forth a bibliographic-coupling based indicator as a measure of “centerness” and present its characteristics relative to the experience of an NSF science center. Continue reading Using Bibliographic Coupling as a Measure of Centerness in R&D Assessment →

Profiling Science & Innovation Policy by Object-based Computing

GTM Conference,

Extended Abstract – MINING NOVEL DATA SOURCES   session at “1st Global TechMining Conference” 2011

Author(s): Zhang Zhixiong, Liu Jianhua, Xie Jing, Zou Yimin (Chinese Academy of Science)

Myriad named entities such as science strategies and policies, key initiatives & research
programs, key research institutes researchers and scientists are embedded in many web
pages from various science & innovation institutes. The authors refer to these named entities about science & innovation activities as research objects. Usually, these research objects carry the core information of the web pages and are valuable for automatically extracting intelligence from web pages. Hence, It is one of the most important questions that how to dig these knowledge units from these resources and how to use the knowledge to support deep intelligence analysis. In this paper, the authors bring forth a method using object-based computing for profiling science & innovation policies of some key national scientific administrative offices, research councils, funding agencies, and leading research institutes. Continue reading Profiling Science & Innovation Policy by Object-based Computing →

Socio-Economic Status and Citizen Participation in Crowdsourced Government

GTM Conference, novel source, ST&I policy

Extended Abstract – MINING NOVEL DATA SOURCES   session at “1st Global TechMining Conference” 2011

Author(s): Benjamin Y. Clark, Sung-Gheel Jang, Jeffrey Brudney (University of Cleveland)

New technologies are allowing governments to harness a complex flow of data to address a vast array of problems by using the public’s collective wisdom. Through such “crowdsourcing,” governments are able to collect citizen-generated data in “311” systems—i.e., quasi-“411” systems that allow citizens to provide non-emergency information and requests directly to governments via advanced telephone systems. The primary goal of this research is to investigate the distributional impacts of governments relying upon 311 systems to allocate resources. Our analysis is based on one year of service requests in the City of Boston—from February 2010 to February 2011. Continue reading Socio-Economic Status and Citizen Participation in Crowdsourced Government →
