Data mining

Abstract: As information technology progress, we are able to obtain much information about the advanced research of others. As a result, researchers and research managers need to track the current research trends amid the information flood. In order to support these efforts to gather knowledge of current research, we propose a research trend mining method. The method utilizes an author-topic model for establishing the relationships between authors, topics, and papers by probabilities, and interactively visualizes the relationships using self-organizing maps. We implemented a research area mapping system and validated it with a case study. In addition, we conducted experiments to show the performance of our system. The experimental results indicate that this system can induce the appropriate relationships for finding research trends.

Abstract: The prevalence of metadata and technologies supporting metadata have failed to achieve their anticipated objectives (shared data, loose coupling, productivity, intelligence) because they represent an unrealistic, or at least incomplete, picture of the concept "metadata". Three emergent assumptions typically adopted by designers using metadata are identified, assumptions that contain the seeds of the inevitable failure of such designs. We also suggest a number of methodologies to extricate the architect (and more critically, partner architects) from such dogma.

Abstract: Visualizations leverage innate human capabilities for recognizing interesting aspects of data. Even if users might agree on what is interesting about a visualization, the steps that they use in the knowledge discovery process may be significantly different. This results in an inability to effectively recreate the exact conditions of the discovery process, which we call the knowledge rediscovery problem. Because we cannot expect a user to fully document each of their interactions, there is a need for visualization systems to maintain user trace data in a way that enhances a user's ability to communicate what they found to be interesting, as well as how they found it. We present a model for representing user interactions that articulates with a corresponding set of annotations, or observations that are made during the exploration. Such ability is critical to addressing the knowledge rediscovery problem, and is a fundamental component for systems that must provide information provenance.

Abstract: The advent of remote sensing and survey technologies over the last decade has dramatically enhanced our capabilities to collect terabytes of geographic data on a daily basis. However, the wealth of geographic data cannot be fully realized when information implicit in data is difficult to discern. This confronts GIScientists with an urgent need for new methods and tools that can intelligently and automatically transform geographic data into information and, furthermore, synthesize geographic knowledge. It calls for new approaches in geographic representation, query processing, spatial analysis, and data visualization (Yuan 1998, Miller and Han 2000; Gahegan, 2000). Information scientists face the same challenge as a result of the digital revolution that expedites the production of terabytes of data from credit card transactions, medical examinations, telephone calls, stock values, and other numerous human activities. Collaborative efforts in artificial intelligence, statistics, and databases communities have been the underpinning technologies of knowledge discovery in databases to extract useful information from massive amounts of data in support of decision-making (Gardner 1996, Bhandari et al. 1997, Hedberg 1996).

Abstract: Scientific literature on the Web makes up a massive, noisy, disorganized database. Unlike large, single-source databases such as a corporate customer database, the Web database draws from many sources, each with its own organization. Also, owing to its diversity, most records in this database are irrelevant to an individual researcher. Furthermore, the database is constantly growing in content and changing in organization. All these characteristics make the Web a difficult domain for knowledge discovery. To quickly and easily gather useful knowledge from such a database, users need the help of an information filtering system that automatically extracts only relevant records as they appear in a stream of incoming records. To this end, we have developed the CiteSeer. CiteSeer is an automatic generator of digital libraries of scientific literature. It uses sophisticated acquisition, parsing, and presentation methods to eliminate most of the manual effort of finding useful publications on the Web

Abstract: The ESP2Net project is developing technologies that enable effective collaborative scientific data sharing to support collaboration among scientists, accelerate production of scientific data products, and improve understanding of the science. We have defined a Scientific Experiment Markup Language (SEML) to capture scientific experiments in hypermedia documents as a basic unit of information sharing. A collection of SEML documents can be viewed as an online electronic experiment logbook that captures the entire experiment experience by including the process and interrelationships between experiments to allow an experiment to be re-created. Complementary means of sharing the experiences from scientific experiments (browsing, searching, dissemination, and mining) are provided by integrating OASIS transparent distributed scientific object access, Conquest dynamic distributed query processing services, and active information dissemination services introduced in semantic multicast
