Coders Needed
by Stuart Shulman 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

I am looking to add 8-10 new coders (a.k.a. annotators, labelers, taggers) to join the pool who work on DiscoverText training custom machine classifiers. I have a particular need for coders who can work today. To join the team you must sign a non-disclosure agreement and complete a W9 or W8. In return, you get gratis access to DiscoverText for every month that you complete at least one coding assignment and Texifter will pay you $13/hour at the end of every month for accumulated hours. With you free DiscoverText access, you can collect, filter, search, code, and machine classify large quantities of social data (Facebook, Twitter, and more) for your own research purposes. Grad students: there is a free software/free data/free beer thing going on here, just without the beer. Please send me a CV that includes your postal address (for payments) and phone number (for the bank bill pay). ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.

CFP> HICSS 2014 Minitrack: Crowdsourcing content production and online knowledge repositories
by Noriko Hara 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

Apologies for cross-posting HICSS 2014 Minitrack: Crowdsourcing content production and online knowledge repositories January 6-9, 2014 Big Island, Hawaii, USA Track: Digital and social media We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to the Crowdsourcing mini-track for HICSS 2014 taking place at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii from Jan. 6-9th, 2014. In line with the track emphasis on promoting digital and social-media-related research, this minitrack aims to expand the scope of research in HICSS and bring to the conference researchers interested in cutting edge topics involving socio-technical issues of mass knowledge production and crowdsourcing online knowledge repositories. As various forms of collaboration are enabled (and constrained) by the affordances available in social media, researchers are investigating a range of issues including: 1) the diverse ways in which people collaborate to create, manage, curate and manipulate online content and how these activities affect digital repositories; 2) how those who manage these repositories are responding to the dynamics of online co-creation of content; 3) the dynamics of crowdsourced online collaborations and online communities of practice; and 4) the ways in which we can best describe the socio-technical interaction networks that facilitate and inhibit mass knowledge production. In this mini track we are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues. Papers of interest will examine communities of online knowledge repositories such as YouTube, Yahoo!Answers, Wikipedia, and others and may address in this context topics such as: . The socio-technical dynamics of crowdsourcing and mass knowledge production sites . Vandalism and trolling in online mass knowledge production sites . Conflict and cooperation in content production sites . Issues of gender in collaborative content production sites . Global, cross-cultural and international aspects of content production and online intercultural collaborations in online content creation communities . Managing ethics in online mass knowledge production communities . Building, maintaining and ending social relationships on online repositories sites . Social question answering and collaborative information seeking behaviors . Challenges and opportunities of digital curation . Standards and quality of digital content online Detailed information about the conference can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm Information for potential authors can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/47cfp.pdf Due date for submission of full papers is: June 15, 2013 Minitrack organizers Pnina Fichman Informatics West #301 901 East 10th Street SLIS, Indiana University Bloomington Indiana 47408 812 856 1587 Noriko Hara 1320 East 10th Street SLIS, Indiana University Bloomington Indiana 47405 812 855 1490 Howard Rosenbaum 1320 East 10th Street SLIS, Indiana University Bloomington Indiana 47405 812 855 3250 -- _________________________________________ Noriko Hara, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Science SLIS Indiana University, Bloomington Tel: 812-855-1490 Fax: 812-855-6166 http://norikohara.org

Interest in AoIR-sponsored webinars?
by Michael Zimmer 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

Hello, all. Reading through the recent threads, there seems to be recurring interest in expanding the reach of the conferences through technology, and also providing more means for interaction beyond email and the annual conference. (Note, we've generally opted against live-streaming the conferences due to the additional technical challenges and related costs. We could, perhaps, stream only 1 room for the entire event [I think ICA does this], but then someone needs to decide which presentations get such a privilege) Is there interest in having AoIR-sponsored topical webinars? The association could invest in a GoToMeeting or WebEx platform (or get an institution to sponsor), select 4 topics per year (focusing on discipline, method, theory, IRBs, tools, etc), and then invite members with expertise to provide mini presentations, opening up for discussion, etc. Such a format, while not perfect, at least might allow some clustering of the diverse membership around areas of common interest. I've done these for the American Library Association, and I'm sure many of you have done these for other groups. Thoughts?
