7:00 – 4:30 VTX

• Had a thought going to sleep last night that it would be interesting to see the difference between a ‘naive’ ranking based on the number of quotes vs. PageRank. Pretty much as soon as I got up, I pulled down the spreadsheet and got the lists. It’s in the previous post, but I’ll pot them here too:
  • Sorted from most to least quotes
    P61: A Survey on Assessment and Ranking Methodologies for User-Generated Content on the Web.pdf
    P13: The Egyptian Blogosphere.pdf
    P10: Sensing_And_Shaping_Emerging_Conflicts.pdf
    P85: Technology Humanness and Trust-Rethinking Trust in Technology.pdf
    P 5: Saracevic_relevance_75.pdf
    P 1: Social Media and Trust during the Gezi Protests in Turkey.pdf
    P77: The Law of Group Polarization.pdf
    P43: On the Accuracy of Media-based Conflict Event Data.pdf
    System Trust
    P37: Security-control methods for statistical databases – a comparative study.pdf
  • Sorted on Page Rank eigenvector
    P85: Technology Humanness and Trust-Rethinking Trust in Technology.pdf
    System Trust
    Social Trust
    P61: A Survey on Assessment and Ranking Methodologies for User-Generated Content on the Web.pdf
    P84: What is Trust_ A Conceptual Analysis–AMCIS-2000.pdf
    P 1: Social Media and Trust during the Gezi Protests in Turkey.pdf
    Credibility Cues
    P13: The Egyptian Blogosphere.pdf
    P10: Sensing_And_Shaping_Emerging_Conflicts.pdf
    P82: The ‘like me’ framework for recognizing and becoming an intentional agent.pdf
• To me it’s really interesting how much better the codes are mixed in to the results. I actually thought it could be the other way, since the codes are common across many papers. Also, the concepts of System Trust, Social Trust and Credibility  Cues very much became a central point in my mind as I worked through the papers.
• A second thought, which is the next step in the research, is to see ho weighting affects relationships. Right now, the the papers and codes are weighted by the number of quotes. What happens when all the weights are normalized (set to 1.0)?. And then there is the setup of the interactivity. With zero optimizations, this took 4.2 seconds to calculate on a modern laptop. Not sliderbar rates, but change a (some?) values and click a ‘run’ button.
• So, moving forward, the next steps are to create the Swing App that will:
  • read in a spreadsheet (xls and xlsx)
  • Write out spreadsheets (page containing the data information
    • File
    • User
    • Date run
    • Settings used
  • allow for manipulation of row and column values (in this case, papers and codes, but the possibilities are endless)
    • Select the value to manipulate (reset should be an option)
    • Spinner/entry field to set changes (original value in label)
    • ‘Calculate’ button
    • Sorted list(s) of rows and columns. (indicate +/- change in rank)
  • Reset all button
  • Normalize all button
• I’d like to do something with the connectivity graph. Not sure what yet.
• And I think I’ll do this in JavaFX rather than Swing this time.
• Huh. JavaFX Scene Builder is no longer supported by Oracle. Now it’s a Gluon project.
• Documentation still seems to be at Oracle though
  • JavaFX Scene Builder Overview – A high level overview of the JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 tool
  • JavaFX Scene Builder User Guide – An introduction to the user interface and features of JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0
  • Getting Started with JavaFX Scene Builder – A step-by-step tutorial for creating the FXML file that defines the user interface of a simple issue tracking application
  • Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs – A tutorial that gives information about how to configure the NetBeans, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEs to use with Scene Builder.
• Spent most of the day seeing what’s going on with the Crawl. Turns out it was bad formatting on the terms?
