Instrumenting Continuous Knowledge Extraction, Sharing, and Benchmarking

Keeping the pace with the faster and faster evolution of knowledge is becoming a challenge, especially for researchers and knowledge workers. We propose a vision towards a set of (possibly integrated) publicly available tools that can help on this. To this purpose, we expect tools that can improve effectiveness of knowledge extraction, storage, analysis, publishing and experimental benchmarking. This could be extremely beneficial for the entire research community across fields and interests. We describe our vision in this direction and we demonstrate its feasibility with some exemplary tools that we developed and that we shared as public resources to be used by the research community.

Modeling and Analyzing Engagement in Social Network Challenges

Within a completely new line of research, we are exploring the power of modeling for human behaviour analysis, especially within social networks and/or in occasion of large scale live events. Participation to challenges within social networks is a very effective instrument for promoting a brand or event and therefore it is regarded as an excellent … Continue reading Modeling and Analyzing Engagement in Social Network Challenges

Community-based Crowdsourcing – Our paper at WWW2014 SOCM

Today Andrea Mauri presented our paper "Community-based Crowdsourcing" at the SOCM Workshop co-located with the WWW 2014 conference. SOCM is the 2nd International Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Social Machines and is an interesting venue for discussing instrumentation, tooling, and software system aspects of online social network. The full program of the event … Continue reading Community-based Crowdsourcing – Our paper at WWW2014 SOCM

A bottom-up, knowledge-aware approach to integrating and querying web data services – ACM Trans. on the Web

The October 2013 issue of the ACM Transaction on the Web includes an article of ours on bottom-up domain model design of connected web data sources. This is becoming a more and more important problem as a wealth of data services is becoming available on the Web. Indeed, building and querying Web applications that effectively … Continue reading A bottom-up, knowledge-aware approach to integrating and querying web data services – ACM Trans. on the Web
