From Personal Genomics to Twitter: Visualizing the Uncertainty of Evidence

چکیده
Personal genomics offers a complex form of uncertainty in which a person’s data are largely stable, but the interpretation and implications continue to evolve with the emergence of new research. Another domain, in which there is uncertainty about the supporting evidence and truthfulness of a claim, is social networks. We propose that a similar method can be used to communicate uncertainty in these contexts, and present a tool for visualizing social network claims that builds upon research in both contexts. Author

Design and Test of the Real-time Text mining dashboard for Twitter
One of today's major research trends in the field of information systems is the discovery of implicit knowledge hidden in dataset that is currently being produced at high speed, large volumes and with a wide variety of formats. Data with such features is called big data. Extracting, processing, and visualizing the huge amount of data, today has become one of the concerns of data science scholar...

Today, social networks are fast and dynamic communication intermediaries that are a vital business tool. This study aims at examining the views of those involved with Facebook stocks so that we can summarize their views to predict the general behavior of this stock and collectively consider possible Facebook stock price movements, and create a more accurate pattern compared to previous patterns...
متن کاملPseudo-Likelihood Inference Underestimates Model Uncertainty: Evidence from Bayesian Nearest Neighbours
When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...

Background Calls for evidence-informed public health policy, with implicit promises of greater program effectiveness, have intensified recently. The methods to produce such policies are not self-evident, requiring a conciliation of values and norms between policy-makers and evidence producers. In particular, the translation of uncertainty from empirical research findings, particularly issues of...
