Multivariate Pointwise Information-Driven Data Sampling and Visualization
With increasing computing capabilities of modern supercomputers, the size of
the data generated from the scientific simulations is growing rapidly. As a
result, application scientists need effective data summarization techniques
that can reduce large-scale multivariate spatiotemporal data sets while
preserving the important data properties so that the reduced data can answer
domain-specific queries involving multiple variables with sufficient accuracy.
While analyzing complex scientific events, domain experts often analyze and
visualize two or more variables together to obtain a better understanding of
the characteristics of the data features. Therefore, data summarization
techniques are required to analyze multi-variable relationships in detail and
then perform data reduction such that the important features involving multiple
variables are preserved in the reduced data. To achieve this, in this work, we
propose a data sub-sampling algorithm for performing statistical data
summarization that leverages pointwise information theoretic measures to
quantify the statistical association of data points considering multiple
variables and generates a sub-sampled data that preserves the statistical
association among multi-variables. Using such reduced sampled data, we show
that multivariate feature query and analysis can be done effectively. The
efficacy of the proposed multivariate association driven sampling algorithm is
presented by applying it on several scientific data sets.Comment: 25 page
Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a subject garnering increasing attention in both academia and the industry today. The understanding is that AI-enhanced methods and techniques create a variety of opportunities related to improving basic and advanced business functions, including production processes, logistics, financial management and others. As this collection demonstrates, AI-enhanced tools and methods tend to offer more precise results in the fields of engineering, financial accounting, tourism, air-pollution management and many more. The objective of this collection is to bring these topics together to offer the reader a useful primer on how AI-enhanced tools and applications can be of use in today’s world. In the context of the frequently fearful, skeptical and emotion-laden debates on AI and its value added, this volume promotes a positive perspective on AI and its impact on society. AI is a part of a broader ecosystem of sophisticated tools, techniques and technologies, and therefore, it is not immune to developments in that ecosystem. It is thus imperative that inter- and multidisciplinary research on AI and its ecosystem is encouraged. This collection contributes to that
Examining Political Discourse on Online 8Kun and Reddit Forums
A recent example of political violence in the United States was that of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack in connection with the certification of Joseph R. Biden’s victory over Donald J. Trump in the 2020 US presidential election. This thesis analyzes the events of January 6, 2021, through the lens of social media discourse. This thesis presents a workflow that acquired over 5 million 8kun and Reddit posts from various apolitical and political forums in the three months preceding and following the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. Techniques from text analysis are then used to group forums according to the similarities of their posting patterns. Five main groups of forums are identified. Finally, this thesis analyzes these forums for feelings of isolation and displacement from society in connection with the events of January 6, 2021. Such feelings were not clearly identified. This thesis demonstrates the challenges and opportunities of scraping and analyzing social media data

Reflektierte algorithmische Textanalyse. Interdisziplinäre(s) Arbeiten in der CRETA-Werkstatt
The Center for Reflected Text Analytics (CRETA) develops interdisciplinary mixed methods for text analytics in the research fields of the digital humanities. This volume is a collection of text analyses from specialty fields including literary studies, linguistics, the social sciences, and philosophy. It thus offers an overview of the methodology of the reflected algorithmic analysis of literary and non-literary texts
