Week 4 - February 23, 2010
Instructions for presentation and sign up
- Every student who is enrolled should review another outline and present constructive comments.
We will work as a group to improve the outlines for submission as either a paper submission or as a demo/poster/position statement submission.
For this review, you need to review the IPAW conference call and then answer at least: 1 - is the outline on target for the conference? if not, what suggestions can you make to improve it being on target? 2 - what are the likely claims of the paper and are they clear? if not, what do you think would help make them clear? 3 - why should someone be interested in the work? (it may be a novel approach, it could be that others can reuse tools generated or a methodology, if it is a demo, then it could be a good example of provenance in action, etc.)
- Please make sure that every one of the outlines has at least one review, so if you sign up first, you get your choice. If you sign up later, you may choose from only those that do not already have reviews announced. If all have reviews announced, then you may choose one for with one review is already announced.
- presentations are to be about 10 minutes.
- please sign up for blocks starting at 4:30
- enrolled students (top of the list below) will start
- we will follow with others who wish to participate
- you may review more than one outline if you like. The class will discuss the outlines after the constructive criticism presentations.
- if you have made updates to your previous outlines, you may upload the newer version for others to critique. Please leave up the old one as well though and distinguish which is which.

| Presenter | Time | Topic | Presentation | Notes/ Questions | Citation | students to read paper |
| * Zhenning Shangguan | 4:30 | LOD, SPARQL | Slides | (from Xian)With this URI prefetching approach, how is the relevancy between the starting graph and the graphs in later iteration guaranteed? And should relevancy be part of evaluation? Comments from Shangguan: what does "relevancy" here mean? And also, what do you mean by "starting graph"? Basically, the proposed approach requires no "starting graph" in advance, but rather a URI in the first triple parttern of BGP. (Although it is always a good idea to fill the local queried dataset with some RDF graph from the hub nodes of LOD, e.g., DBpedia, etc.) (from Dominic) This paper illustrates that the data retrieval times compared to the whole query execution time decreases for larger datasets, in particular in the case of the non-blocking iterators. Why is that? |
Executing SPARQL Queries over the Web of Linked Data | Dominic, Xian |
| * Jin Guang Zheng | 5:00 | Search Web Data | File:Semplore.ppt | (from Xian)What's the potential drawback of the two principles to guide the design of the ranking mechanism? How does the system know when to use which principle?
Answer 1: Let's think about the case when a node has million's neighbors but all of it neighbors are not related to the search term, and another node has only few neighbor nodes, but those nodes are closely related to the search term. Thus, the user might want the second node, but in some case, the first node may have higher rank. Answer 2: Actually, in this paper, both principles are used when they calculate the ranking. See rank slide. (from Dominic) Since this is one of the few end-user focused semantic web applications, how might using data collected from user interaction with the system enable better results? We see modern search engines do this all the time. What advantages does structured data gives us in this respect? Answer 1: First, for now, paper doesn't take advantage of the data collected from user since at the time paper published, there might not be a lot of user interaction involved. So to answer your question, the data collected from the user interactive definitely will help any search system, either through suggest queries, or for computing related results, or for ranking the results. Answer 2: The paper is about search the structure data, it is not about using structure data to help the search. |
Semplore: A scalable IR approach to search the Web of Data | Dominic, Xian |
| * Evan Patton | 5:30 | Peer-to-Peer Reasoning | File:DistReasonP2P.pdf | (from Xian) Since the partitioning is done by the hash keys using DHT, then how does this hashing mechanism impact the performance of distributed reasoning?
(from Dominic) The proofs for most of the algorithms in the p2p work work only if P2PIS do not change while the algorithm is running. Is this a safe assumption in a real environment? How and in what ways does this limit the effectiveness of this system? |
Distributed reasoning in a peer-to-peer setting
(see also Scalable distributed ontology reasoning using DHT-based partitioning) |
Dominic, Xian |
| * Joshua Shinavier | 6:00 | Named Graphs in Linked Data | File:BiologicalDataWebs.pdf | Zhao2008provenance lebo question
(from Jim) What prevents this method from being generally applied to supplying provenance about named graphs? |
Provenance and Linked Data in Biological Data Webs | Tim, Jim McCusker |
| * Alvaro Graves | 6:30 | Trust | File:2007TrustSurvey.pdf | Artz2007survey lebo question
(from Jim) This paper points to a number of different models of trust and priorities of trust. It seems that the priorities of trust vary greatly depending on the domain and the user. For instance, I place less emphasis on authoritative trust than on verifiable content. This extends beyond science, and tends to be my default mode of trust. On the other hand, other people, using the same systems, may want something that is authoritative, but are less concerned with how the information was created. Is there any hope of bridging this divide within a single framework? Answer: My impression is that the authors tried to cover a very broad range of concepts and name them as "trust". While most of them are related to what I understand as trust, some ca be cataloged more like "security" (e.g., authentication). Is in this sense that I don't think is possible to unify all the concepts mentioned here. Also, at an implementation level, the systems mentioned attack different problems with different audience in mind. |

Alvaro and Jin need to put up paper asap!
Dominic, Tim, Xian, Jim McCusker to review papers and post 2 questions. We need the other papers to do the paper reading assignment!
Week 6 March 16, 2010 (Note Spring break on March 9)
- Continuation of research paper presentation.
Xian, Dominic, Tim, Jim - please suggest a paper to Deborah and post the pdf by Friday March 5.
| Presenter | Time | Topic | Presentation | Notes/ Questions | Citation | students to read |
| * James McCusker | 4:30 | Semantic Data Model Integration | File:Cabig model matching and reuse.pdf | Question from Evan: This article seems to be advocating the need for centralized systems to solve the ontology mapping problem. However, they also mention that centralization of this information can cause combinatorial explosions in processing time due to having so much information being considered even though some of it might be irrelevant. Do you think that modularization efforts to break down ontologies into useful components might be a better compromise in this situation? Also, this seems like it works better within specialized domains. I feel that if you used a similar method on a broader range of topics the success rate would be greatly decreased due to many words having the same meaning (discussed within the paper) and some words being used many different ways across domains. Do you think tools such as Wordnet and LSA could improve on the method outlined by the paper?
Questions from Alvaro: What do you think of using BLAST for this (following its similarity with Smith-Waterman? Another question: the idea of using weights, although allow flexibility, may improve the matches for certain models but worsen others? |
Metadata mapping and reuse in caBIG | Josh, Evan, Alvaro |
| * Dominic DiFranzo | 5:00 | Social Machines | slides | Question from Evan: I believe that user context in SW applications will be pivotal in encouraging application developers to move from 'Web 2.0' to using the Semantic Web, and some of the given examples touch on having machines understanding law in context with a situation. Yet, there are many loopholes and exceptions to practically any established law. Since the logics we use today are very much structured around truth/falsehood, there seems to be no feasible way of encoding law without resulting in some inconsistent knowledge. Given your work with data.gov, do you think we should expect any effort from the government to capture law in pure logic?
Question from Jin: This paper is focus on how semantic web provides support for social machines, and discusses research challenges in creating social machines. The paper gives some example of using semantic web as a foundation for social machine. So since link data is one of the most important component of the semantic web, in your opinion, how would link data help to advent social machine? How would social machine help consuming link data? Questions from Alvaro: What are, in your opinion, the basic principles/requirements for a community to be considered a Social Machine? What is the difference (if any) between them? From the cognitive perspective, the ability to consider the Web as an "extension" of the brain can lead to several questions (I have a couple in mind). What do you think are the bigger issues (social, legal, technical) that Social Machines will have to deal with? |
From the Semantic Web to social machines: A research challenge for AI on the World Wide Web | Evan, Jin, Alvaro |
| * Xian Li | 5:30 | Social Provenance | File:XianLi W6 SNTrust .pdf | Question from Jin:
The work present in this paper is using trust value computed in social network to prioritize default rules in a system. I am curious how will this system solve the problem if there are 2 derived default rules that happen to have same priority and these 2 defaults are conflict to each other? As example: A trust C with trust value 0.5, A trust D with trust value 0.5. C says tomorrow will be a sunny day, but D says tomorrow will be a cloudy day. Question from Shangguan: How do you think the scalability of the proposed algorithm will be? Any ideas on how other graph analysis methods, e.g., centrality, can help improve the algorithm? |
Using Social Network-based Trust For Default Reasoning On The Web (see also Combining Provenance with Trust in Social Networks for Semantic Web Content Filtering) | Shangguan, Josh, Jin |
| * Tim Lebo | 6:00 | Visualization | File:Lebo-kunde-munzner-16mar2010.pptx.pdf | Question from Jin:
By reading this paper, it seems the authors are creating a guidelines/model for visialization design that aims to evaluate the visualization system. But there are significant previous work been done in creating such a model as discussed in comparison section, and the model propose in this paper is much similiar to most of the existing model. Why should we use this model to evaluate a visualization design instead the model used to design the visualization if this 4 layer nested model are very similiar to the model used to design the visualization? Question from Evan: Since the author's goal is to establish a more formal process for constructing and evaluating visualizations, do you think it would be worthwhile to algorithmically encode this process using the Semantic Web? You may want to consider incorporating these ideas into the system you're working on for the VO workshop. Question from Shangguan: It seems to me that the proposed model is heavily domain dependent (although the model itself is generic) because it starts from "Domain Problem and Data Characterization". Do you believe it can also be applied to applications that involves data from different domains, and sometimes with the designers unable to know them in advance (which IMHO is sometimes true when building linked data apps)? |

Week 8 March 30, 2010
Each of the 3 3-person groups will present the three papers your have chosen. Each member of the group should present some portion of your group presentation. Besides the technical summaries, each presentation should include a slide on
- Team members and for each member, what they contributed
- Emerging themes from the 3 papers, highlighting any (important) disagreements across the papers
- Highlights of how semantic technologies are providing contributions to the work
- Some ideas of how the work could be enhanced with the kind of technologies we are strong in
- Each group presentation will be 20 minutes with up to 10 minutes for discussion
Week 9 April 6, 2010
Groups will present proposals for projects Make sure to include at least one slide on
(a) The problem you are addressing
(b) The general plan for a solution
(c) Anticipated Semantic technologies that will be used
(d) One or more examples (just in powerpoint) of a benefit of semantic technologies in one grounded example showing something that would be hard to do without semantic technologies.

Week 11 April 20, 2010
Guest speaker - Harry Halpin - http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/ Please read his paper - "Relevance Feedback Between Hypertext and Semantic Web Search" - and post questions. http://tw.rpi.edu/portal/File:SemSearch.pdf
http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/homepage/presentations/rpi2010/
From Evan: Have you done any tests of robustness on your approach? When the search engine changes its ranking algorithm, would it be necessary to recompute the relevance feedback for every result, or can you expedite the process by focusing on concepts where a relevant page has entered/left the top 10 results?
From Tim:
The central thesis of this paper is that relevance feedback can be a primary method to leverage structured searches to benefit unstructured searches, and vice versa.
Although the human judges agreed on the relevancy of results, did their relevancy ratings show a preference for hypertext over semantic web? I would expect the hypertext to be more approachable for the judges, which would lead to a measurable difference in their relevancy ratings.
Relevance feedback is automatically generated from one query source and used to modify a language model to rank query results from a second source. In this case, the paper is using query sources falcons and Yahoo!. However, do you think the results would change if the semantic web search engine (falcons) was replaced with any other traditional hypertext search engine? What benefit does the semantic web data provide if it is only being used, as the paper puts it, as a bag of words? Although the semantic search engine may employ different (non-page rank) techniques, the fact that semantic sources like DBPedia are based on hypertext sources to begin with leads to a homogeneity of content across semantic web and hypertext web.
During feedback evaluation and parameter exploration, did you use the same 4000 result documents that were evaluated by the human judges? If so, how can results improve if you are just reordering the original 10 documents per query? If not, how did you get precision calculations without another round of human judging, and how did you convince the search engine to incorporate your language model when performing the query?
Jin:
The main focus of this paper is to show that using relevance feedback technique we can improve the search of unstructured data by using feedbacks from structured data and vice versa. I was suprised that Semantic Web inferencing actually hurts the performance. I understand that sometime that inferenced data will generate irrelevant terms, but in some cases, inferencing can definitely help the search, for example, if I search all restaurants at MA, I will get restaurants at Boston. So do you think there is any way we can reduce the noise produced by inferencing, and any other way we can improve the search by using inference?
Week 12 April 27, 2010
individual group meetings.
Week 13 May 4, 2010
Group 1 (Shangguan, Jin, Josh) and Group 3 (Xian, Dominic, Evan) Final project presentation.
| Evan,Dominic,Xian | File:SAF Access Control.pdf |
Project presentations should include information addressing each of the sections to be included in the final report. It should include a demonstration system (which if presented on May 4 rather than May 11, may include information about how the final implementation will behave on or before May 11). Presentation slots at 1 hour total but that should include up to 15 minutes of discussion so plan to present for 45 minutes.
Week 14 May 11, 2010
Group 2 (Jim, Tim, Alvaro) Final project presentation. All groups have write ups due.
Each group needs to submit one group writeup. It should include the sections typical to any research paper submission. Abstract, Introduction - including motivating use cases, Technical Approach (with appropriate subsections for your topic), Discussion, Related Work, Future Work, Conclusion, References. You should also include some discussion of how evaluation could be done. Additionally you need to include roles and responsibilities for each of the team participants.
Academic Integrity
Student-teacher relationships are built on trust. For example, students must trust that teachers have made appropriate decisions about the structure and content of the courses they teach, and teachers must trust that the assignments that students turn in are their own. Acts, which violate this trust, undermine the educational process. The Rensselaer Handbook of Student Rights and Responsibilities defines various forms of Academic Dishonesty and you should make yourself familiar with these. In this class, all assignments that are turned in for a grade must represent the student’s own work. In cases where help was received, or teamwork was allowed, a notation on the assignment should indicate your collaboration. Submission of any assignment that is in violation of this policy will result in a penalty. If found in violation of the academic dishonesty policy, students may be subject to two types of penalties. The instructor administers an academic (grade) penalty, and the student may also enter the Institute judicial process and be subject to such additional sanctions as: warning, probation, suspension, expulsion, and alternative actions as defined in the current Handbook of Student Rights and Responsibilities. of an academic grade penalty or . If you have any question concerning this policy before submitting an assignment, please ask for clarification.
Attendance Policy
Enrolled students may miss at most one class without permission of instructor.
