outline

intro

  • NLP, natural language processing
  • current focus: data-mining field (a data-fashion)

hypothesis

The results of data-mining software are not mined, results are created.
What elements do allow for algorithmic agreeability?

project

voice: accessible for a wider public

problem formulations:

  • terminology ('mining', 'data')
  • text-processing
    • from: able to check results with senses (OCR), to: intuition (data-mining) [what are the differences?]
    • parsing, how text is treated: as n-grams, chunks, bag-of-words, characters
  • use of wordclouds
    • data as autonomous entity; from: information, to: data science [what are the differences?]

algorithmic agreeability case study objects

  • terminology & anthropomorphism: data 'mining' (wiki-page)
  • terminology & anthropomorphism: 'machine learning'
  • terminology: 'data'
  • wordclouds

thesis

voice: more technical? + theoretical

theory

  • solutionism & techno optimism

algorithmic agreeability case study objects

  • workflow mining-software (eg. Pattern, Wecka)
    • software workflow diagram
    • the use of mathematical graphs & dimensions


research material

→ filesystem interface, collecting research related material (+ about the workflow)
→ wikipage for 'i-could-have-written-that' (list of prototypes & inquiries)
→ little glossary

mining as ideology

* from mining minerals to mining data

anthropomorphism

* anthropomorphic qualities of a computer (?)
* the photographic apparatus → the data apparatus (annotations)
* Joseph's (Weizenbaum) questions on Computer Power and Human Reason

text processing

* semantic math: averaging polarity rates in Pattern (text mining software package)
* notes on wordclouds
* automatic reading machines; from encoding-decoding to constructed-truths
* index of WordNet 3.0 (2006)

data as autonomous entity

* knowledge driven by data - whenever i fire a linguist, the results improve

other

* (laughter) - it's embarrassing but these are the words
* call for a syntactic view; Florian Cramer & Benjamin Bratton (text)
* EUR PhD presentation 'Sentiment Analysis of Text Guided by Semantics and Structure' (13-11-2015)
* index of Roget's thesaurus (1805)
* comparing the classification of the word 'information' Thesaurus (1911) vs. WordNet 3.0 (2006)
