Web 2.0 and Research • Human-based Computation • Folksonomy (Social Tagging) • Academic Data Analysis • GIO-Info
Human-based Computation • Social Search • wayfinding tools informed by human judgment • CAPTCHA • reversed Turing test (Turing test 是由人來詢問系統,這裡則是由系統來詢問使用者) • Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) • a genetic algorithm informed by human judgment. • 由人工提供fitness function結果 • 例子:描繪罪犯畫像,系統以GA方式產生嫌犯畫像,目擊者負責評分看那個比較像,不斷重複過程直到接近罪犯樣子為止
CAPTCHA Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart • A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human. wikipedia SOURCE: http://recaptcha.net/

Folksonomy (Social Tagging) • Also known as social tagging, collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing • Folksonomy is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. Wikipedia
del.icio.us Tags: Descriptive words applied by users to links. Tags are searchable My Tags: Words I’ve used to describe links in a way that makes sense to me
Semantic Web Source: Tim Berners-Lee
Using Folksonomy to Help Semantic Web • Top-down Semantic Annotation • Approach • Define an ontology first • Use the ontology to add semantic markups to web resources. • The semantics is provided by the ontology which is shared among different web agents and applications. • Problem • Negotiation • Evolution (hard to maintain) • High Barrier (background) Source: Xian Wu, Lei Zhang, Yong Yu. “Exploring Social Annotations for the Semantic Web”
Using Folksonomy to Help Semantic Web • Bottom-up approach with social tagging • Advantage • No common ontology or dictionary are needed • Easy to access • Sensitive to information drift • Disadvantage • Ambiguity Problem: For example, “XP” can refer to either “Extreme Programming” or “Windows XP”. • Group Synonymy Problem: two seemingly different annotations may bear the same meaning. Source: Xian Wu, Lei Zhang, Yong Yu. “Exploring Social Annotations for the Semantic Web”
Or Folksonomy is the Solution? • Ontology is Overrated • Classification of the web has failed • Classification itself is filled with bias and error • Tagging is the solution Source: http://www.shirky.com/writings/ontology_overrated.html
