Entering the European Information Society: Four Rural Development Projects

This article compares four European information and communication technologies (ICT) development projects spawned by national and EU initiatives to create the “European information society.” These projects, which sought to support learning and better use of ICT, were all the result of opportunities opened up by political initiatives. The analysis indicates that the main problems that afflict these projects stem from varied expectations and interests of the major actors. These problems can be mitigated considerably if a feeling of ownership is generated among the participants. This sense of belonging, however, is difficult to foster in a “top-down” project. Hence there is a need for a better balance between the “top-down” and “bottom-up” influences in the development of such projects.

Social media analytics: Extracting and visualizing Hilton hotel ratings and reviews from TripAdvisor

Analyzing and extracting insights from user-generated data has become a topic of interest among businesses and research groups because such data contains valuable information, e.g., consumers’ opinions, ratings, and recommendations of products and services. However, the true value of social media data is rarely discovered due to overloaded information. Existing literature in analyzing online hotel reviews mainly focuses on a single data resource, lexicon, and analysis method and rarely provides marketing insights and decision-making information to improve business’ service and quality of products. We propose an integrated framework which includes a data crawler, data preprocessing, sentiment-sensitive tree construction, convolution tree kernel classification, aspect extraction and category detection, and visual analytics to gain insights into hotel ratings and reviews. The empirical findings show that our proposed approach outperforms baseline algorithms as well as well-known sentiment classification methods, and achieves high precision (0.95) and recall (0.96). The visual analytics results reveal that Business travelers tend to give lower ratings, while Couples tend to give higher ratings. In general, users tend to rate lowest in July and highest in December. The Business travelers more frequently use negative keywords, such as “rude,” “terrible,” “horrible,” “broken,” and “dirty,” to express their dissatisfied emotions toward their hotel stays in July.

Abstract

Several information processing technologies which are capable of augmenting human performance in handling a range of emergency situations are featured in this discussion. Among the more sophisticated systems which have proven useful in enhancing information collection, transmission, and selective processing are packet radio networks, “expert planning systems,” multiple‐satellite technology, and such related emerging developments as “internetting” and “machine intelligence.”

Supporting “Everyday Analysts” in Safety- and Time-Critical Situations

The need for quick, timely, and accurate information is critical in emergency events. During mass emergencies, people assemble information from both official and unofficial sources. As digital access expands, people will increasingly incorporate information from digital sources into decision making and assess it against the local circumstances they experience. If we extrapolate what such behavior means for the future, we can see that information management under emergency conditions will need to become increasingly socially distributed. The key question then is how to assess the quality of information: how “good” or “bad” it is; whether it is “misinformation” or “disinformation.” Borrowing from Simon's notion of satisficing, the authors argue that people's assessment of information helpfulness and credibility is a function of the “everyday analytic” skills they employ during mass emergencies. To facilitate the critical work of “everyday analysts,” we outline a research agenda for the development of analytical support tools.

Network Mediated Discursive Education: From Computational to Networked Knowledge in the University

In the 1990s, knowledge management originated as a post-Fordist, information society, discourse that stressed the sociotechnical “capture” and distribution of knowledge as a sharable, information resource. Following a postindustrial model, the information/knowledge economy was seen as the leading productive sector. Today's networked systems mix information processing and retrieval and communication technologies in new ways. While such systems demand new tools for capturing, organizing, searching, ranking, and visualizing knowledge, such systems also offer new opportunities for education and for better, shared, research. This article reviews the status of computational technologies in university education in, and since, Jean-François Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge and then offers recommendations on bridging the divide between networked and critical thinking through the reorganization of the university and some of its functions.     

The circulation/acquisition ratio: An input-output measure for libraries

A “quick-and-dirty” input-output measure for libraries is derived using readily available data. The library is defined as a system that acquires books as input and circulates books as output. By simply dividing the number of books circulated per unit time by the number of books acquired in that same time, such a measure is created. Used like a temperature thermometer, the C/A ratio has to be “just right” (not too high and not too low) if the library is to be considered “healthy”.     

“同一健康”失序与全球疫情问题

历史上反复出现的重大公共卫生突发事件,大都是“同一健康”失序的体现,其背后则潜藏着人与动物二元对立的认识论误区。理性的人与作为机器的动物之间的森严等级关系,造成了“自我”对“他者”的支配与控制,鼓励了人类对动物和环境的践踏。然而在人类对动物和环境肆意妄为的同时,其自身也以全球疫情、气候变暖等形式受到了反噬。历次针对疫情的“战争总动员”就源于普遍联系的健康网络中人与动物关系的破坏。如果我们不认真反思这种认识论上的误区,那么历次疫情爆发不过是未来更多危机的彩排。只有瓦解泾渭分明的二元对立,在全球范围内展开普遍合作、践行“同一健康”议题,人类才能与动物、环境共同生活与共同发展,在拥有“同一世界”的同时,享有“同一健康”。     

Quasi comprehension of natural language simulated by means of information traces

Good information storage and retrieval systems should not only meet the looseness of human memory but also the looseness of natural language. Our information trace method allows for the creation of mechanical systems that combine looseness with indulgence. In accordance with this method, information records consisting of pieces of natural language are attached to each other, leaving fuzzy semantic traces behind in the form of sets of three-letter-strings which have been derived from the original texts. The system calculates an “importance value” for each possible answer to a user query. Queries also may be given in the form of a simple piece of natural language. Answers are communicated to the user, if he so wishes, in descending order of “importance value” as calculated by the system.
