Organizational Power and the Institutional Review Board

In this essay, we respond to the narratives and essays in this issue by examining organizational power issues related to researchers and institutional research boards (IRBs). Rather than taking a singular perspective on power, we use multiple perspectives and suggest that the cumulative analyses provide the best understanding of IRBs and organizational power.     

Analysis of Statistical Question Classification for Fact-Based Questions

Question classification systems play an important role in question answering systems and can be used in a wide range of other domains. The goal of question classification is to accurately assign labels to questions based on expected answer type. Most approaches in the past have relied on matching questions against hand-crafted rules. However, rules require laborious effort to create and often suffer from being too specific. Statistical question classification methods overcome these issues by employing machine learning techniques. We empirically show that a statistical approach is robust and achieves good performance on three diverse data sets with little or no hand tuning. Furthermore, we examine the role different syntactic and semantic features have on performance. We find that semantic features tend to increase performance more than purely syntactic features. Finally, we analyze common causes of misclassification error and provide insight into ways they may be overcome.     

我国促进大数据发展政策工具选择体系结构及其优化策略研究

[目的/意义]探究我国为实现促进大数据发展的政策目标而构建的政策工具选择体系结构,揭示大数据政策工具选择中存在的问题,为优化我国促进大数据发展政策工具选择提供建议。[方法/过程]构建由63项聚焦大数据发展的政策文本构成的政策样本集,运用内容分析法,对样本集中包含的政策工具进行编码。建立包含基础资源维度、技术维度和领域维度的政策工具选择三维分析框架,通过编码映射,建立其与政策工具编码的关联。从领域维度,使用层次聚类分析法,对样本政策文本进行聚类分析。[结果/结论]政策工具编码分析结果显示,我国大数据政策工具选择中存在缺乏长期规划,政策及政策工具协同不足,政策工具选择欠丰富;政策工具选择结构失衡;需求表达模糊,难以定位关键政策及政策工具等问题。应加强战略规划和发展理念指引,重视政策及政策工具协同,规避公共风险,构建需求驱动和问题导向的政策工具选择体系结构,创新设计与应用关键政策工具。

Educational concerns of Arabic speaking migrants from Sudan and Iraq to Melbourne: Expectations on migrant parents in Australia

Families immigrating to Australia face many challenges integrating into the educational system, including language barriers and interrupted schooling. We have qualitatively evaluated the educational concerns of Arabic migrants from Sudan and Iraq to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, a city that receives a high percentage of Australia's immigrants. Using an interactive paradigm incorporating focus group discussions for thematic analysis, we concluded that the parents’ frame of reference for education was a more didactic style of learning. Parents viewed education as an essential part of the way forward for their children in Australia. However, it was stressful for them to try to cope with a new host nation's expectation of their involvement in their children's education while at the same time dealing with a language barrier. Professionals should look to empower parents with structural information about the key elements of the educational curriculum with minimal reliance on written technical language and match their expectations of parental involvement to the situation of the parents.
