---------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! EXTENDED DEADLINE !!! FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Bringing MT to the User: Research on Integrating MT in the Translation Industry" Second Joint EM+/CNGL Workshop (JEC 2010) http://web.me.com/emcnglworkshop/JEC2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At the AMTA 2010 conference (http://amta2010.amtaweb.org) the EuroMatrix+ Project (http://www.euromatrixplus.eu) and the Centre for Next Generation Localisation (http://cngl.ie) are organising the Second Joint EM+/CNGL Workshop, titled "Bringing MT to the User: Research on Integrating MT in the Translation Industry". The workshop will take place in Denver, Colorado on 4 November 2010, immediately after the main AMTA 2010 conference. Premise: Recent years have seen a revolution in MT triggered by the emergence of statistical approaches to MT and improvements in translation quality. MT (rule-based, statistical and hybrid) is now available for many languages for free on the Web and is making strong inroads into the corporate localisation and translation industries. Open-source MT solutions are competing with proprietary products. Increasing numbers of translators are post-editing TM/MT output. At the same time, there has been some disconnect between academic research on MT, which (rightly so) focuses on algorithms to increase translation quality, and many of the practical issues that need to be addressed to make MT maximally useful in real translation and localisation scenarios. Objectives: This workshop will bring together MT researchers, developers, industrial users and translators to discuss issues that are most important in real world industrial settings involving MT, but currently not very popular in research circles. Workshop Chairs: Ventsislav Zhechev Philipp Koehn Josef van Genabith Call for Research Papers: For this workshop we solicit full research papers with industry or academic background to highlight the real-world issues that need to be tackled by new research and the recent academic advancements that improve translation quality, as well as novel and successful methods for the integration of Machine Translation with Translation Memories or Localisation Workflows. We will accept research paper submissions (reviewed anonymously) for oral presentation and publication. Papers should present clearly identifiable problem statements, research methodologies and measurable outcomes and evaluation. The papers should follow the submission guidelines for the research track of the main AMTA 2010 Conference (http://amta2010.amtaweb.org/cfp-mt.htm) with the maximum length being 10 pages in US Letter format, including references. Please, do not include your name in the paper text and avoid overt self-references to facilitate the blind review process. If a paper is accepted, at least one author will have to register through the AMTA 2010 website and travel to Denver to present it. Topics include but are not limited to: • MT/TM in Localisation/Translation Workflows • MT/TM Combinations • Post-Editing Support for MT • MT and Monolingual Post-Editing • MT Confidence Scores and Post-Editing Effort • Training Data for MT: Size, Domain and Quality • Data Cleanup and Preparation for MT • Meta-Data Mark-Up/Annotation and MT • Terminology and MT • Costing/Pricing MT • MT for Free/for a Fee • Rule-Based, Statistical and Hybrid MT • Computing Resources for MT • MT in the Cloud • MT and the Crowd • Smart Learning from Post-Edits • (Machine) Translation in Context Program Committee: The submitted papers will be reviewed by a mixed industry–academia committee.

advance table of contents of the "Social Science Computer Review"
by Ulf-Dietrich Reips 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Dear colleague: Below is the advance table of contents of the "Social Science Computer Review" for Summer 2011. This issue will appear through Sage Online is a few months and in print in May 2011. Other advance (and past) contents are found at http://faculty.chass.ncsu.edu/garson/sscore/contents.htm Best wishes --u Social Science Computer Review Volume 29, No. 2 Summer 2011 Special issue on Web Survey Methods Measuring political knowledge in telephone and web surveys: A cross-national comparison / Zan Strabac & Toril Aalberg Abstract: Fast pace of technology changes makes conduction of high-quality web surveys increasingly easy, and performance of web surveys should be continuously monitored. In this article a comparison is made of the results of telephone and web surveys of items measuring international news knowledge. We compare web surveys of general populations conducted in the USA and Norway in January 2009 with their telephone replications conducted in the same month. Results show rather small differences between web and telephone surveys, particularly in Norway. We discuss the results and make recommendations for use of web surveys and for future methodological research. Words, numbers and visual heuristics in web surveys: Is there a hierarchy of importance? / Vera Toepoel & Don A. Dillman Abstract Respondents follow simple heuristics in interpreting the visual features of questions. We carried out two experiments in two panels to investigate how the effect of visual heuristics affects the answers to survey questions. In the first experiment we varied the distance between scale points in a five point scale to investigate whether respondents use the conceptual or visual midpoint of a scale. In the second experiment we used different endpoint labels of a five point scale, by adding different shadings of color and numbers that differed both in sign and value (2 to -2), to study whether options that are similar of appearance are considered conceptually closer than when they are dissimilar in appearance. We predicted that there is a hierarchy of features that respondents attend to, with verbal labels taking precedence over numerical labels, and numerical labels taking precedence over visual cues. Our results confirmed our hypothesis: the effect of spacing of response options and different endpoints was only apparent in polar point scales and not in fully labeled scales. In addition, our study on two panels, with one consisting of extremely trained respondents and the other of relatively fresh respondents, shows that trained respondents are affected by the distance between response options while relatively new respondents are not. To reduce the effect of visual cues, taking into account the robustness of results, we suggest it is better to use fully labeled five-point scales in survey questions. Response rates and data quality in web and mail surveys administered to PhD holders / Maite Barrios, Anna Villarroya, Ángel Borrego, & Candela Ollé Abstract Despite the extensive use of Web surveys today, there are certain methodological factors related to participant cooperation and data quality which remain unclear and require further study. Here, we compare responses to a survey administered in two formats - electronic, or by post - in terms of overall response rate and the quality of the data collected. Web and mail questionnaires were sent to a sample of 572 PhD holders, asking them about aspects related to their academic career and personal and family data in order to investigate the factors that determine scientific productivity. The Web questionnaire elicited a significantly higher response rate than the mail questionnaire. Response rates did not differ between males and females; however, topic salience had an effect on the response rate. Finally, data quality was higher in Web surveys than in the mail surveys, with fewer overall errors, fewer missing items and longer responses in open-ended questions. Sliders for the smart: Type of rating scale on the web interacts with educational level / Frederik Funke, Ulf-Dietrich Reips, & Randall K. Thomas Abstract Slider scales and radio buttons scales were experimentally evaluated in horizontal and vertical orientation. Slider scales lead to statistically significantly higher break-off rates (odds ratio = 6.9) and substantially higher response times. Problems with slider scales were especially prevalent in participants with less than average education, suggesting the slider scale format is more challenging in terms of previous knowledge needed or cognitive load. An alternative explanation, technology-dependent sampling (Buchanan & Reips, 2001), cannot fully account for the present results. The authors clearly advise against the use of Java-based slider scales and advocate low-tech solutions for the design of Web-based data collection. Orientation on screen had no observable effect on data quality or usability of rating scales. Implications of item format for Web-based surveys are discussed.

Here, we compare responses to a survey administered in two formats - electronic, or by post - in terms of overall response rate and the quality of the data collected.

Reports and Communications Is public trust in government associated with trust in e-government? / Simon Horsburgh, Shaun Goldfinch, & Robin Gauld Abstract The term e-government describes the use of information and communications technology, particularly the internet, for the delivery of public services. As governments invest in e-government, there is only limited knowledge of the extent of public trust in the new electronic modes of delivery; we also know little about whether there is any relationship between trust in government and trust in e-government. This article reports on research designed to probe this issue. Drawing on survey data from Australia and New Zealand, a series of hypotheses are tested pertaining to relationships between public trust in government and in e-government, in the use of information and communications technology and trust in e-government, and support for e-government investment and development. Trust in government was found not to be correlated with trust in facets of e-government service provision, but was associated with support for e-government investment. More intensive internet users were more likely to trust e-government services. Political participation of teenagers in the information era: The case of the 2008 Korean Candlelight Protests / Yun Seongyi & Chang Woo-young Abstract This study examines the environments and the characteristics of political participation of teenage political participation. The 2008 Candlelight Protests of Korea is used as the case of this study. Traditionally, teenagers in Korea have known to disengage from political affairs because they are usually worn by intense academic challenge and competition. In that sense, participation of teenagers at such a large scale shown in the 2008 Candlelight Protests of Korea can only be explained as huge shift in political preference of teenagers and conventional social norms. In that sense, the case of 2008 Candlelight Protests of Korea has shown great implications for the political potential of new media, which is capable of revolutionizing the political socialization patterns of youth. Survey results demonstrated that the internet had become an important tool from which the teenagers collected political information and channels which they utilized to organize and mobilize. Numbers also showed that the degree of the youth's socio-political interests were higher than the adult's. Other notable fact found was that female students showed more aggressive involvement than male students and this could be explained by the difference in the internet usage pattern between male and female students. In using media, adolescent girls displayed more relationship and objective oriented behaviors than the boys. VODYS: An agent-based model for exploring campaign dynamics / Girish J. Gulati, Charles R. Hadlock, & Juliet F. Gainsborough Abstract The literature on campaigns has considered a number of factors that affect whether and how someone votes, including demographics, campaign strategies, and social milieu. Understanding the dynamics of campaigns, however, is complicated by the fact that researchers cannot observe much of what happens during an election cycle. Typically, studies rely on voter recollections of conversations, contacts, and media exposure. In addition, because data are collected at discrete points in time, most models of voter turnout cannot capture the dynamic nature of an individual's interactions during a campaign cycle. Agent-based models offer a way to overcome these data limitations by allowing us to model the dynamics of voter turnout over the course of many weeks as individuals move back forth between home and work environments, interacting with neighbors and colleagues. In this paper, we present an agent-based model of campaign dynamics, VODYS, and conduct three simulations to demonstrate the utility of agent-based models for exploring the effects of contact and context on political behavior. -- Ulf-Dietrich Reips Ikerbasque Research Professor Departamento de Psicología Universidad de Deusto Apartado 1, 48080 Bilbao, España Secretary & Fax: +34 944 139 085 http://iscience.deusto.es/

Theories in your social media research
by Burns, Kelli 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

I would like to place my research within a theoretical framework and move it away from mere descriptions of social media practice. I've been looking at a variety of topics within the realm of PR/Ad industry use of social media (brands that use Facebook, reactions to FTC endorsement guidelines by bloggers, crises in the blogosphere) as well as the intersection of social media and popular culture. I am looking for your suggestions of articles that apply theory to the understanding of social media. Any citations you can send would be much appreciated, even if you feel it's not directly relevant to my area of social media research. Thanks so much!

Academic Career Development Workshop at AoIR IR 11 Gothenburg 20 Oct 2010
by Marcus Foth 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Academic Career Development Workshop for Research Students and Early Career Academics in conjunction with Internet Research 11, Gothenburg, Sweden, 20 October 2010 http://ir11.aoir.org/program/pre-conference-workshops/ DESCRIPTION For research students and early career academics, universities offer resources that help develop their research skills – for example, critical theory development, literature reviews, research methods, data analysis, writing skills, etc. However, building a successful career in academia poses a wide range of new challenges in addition to the pure academic craft of research. The resources and resilience one needs in order to shape an academic career path often appear ambiguous, particularly in the innately transformative field of Internet research. In response to feedback from AoIR members, this full-day workshop seeks to address this concern by offering a supportive and constructive environment to discuss career development related issues that are of specific interest to research students and early career academics. The first half of the workshop is devoted to the process of transitioning into research student training and supervision. In the second half, we will look at issues of academic leadership. The workshop chairs, along with invited senior academic researchers, will share with the participants some of their off-the-record insights of their career development milestones and the related decisions that have shaped their career paths. The workshop chairs will act as facilitators and moderators who will encourage the participants to join the discussion and share their own views and experiences with the rest of the group. The goal is to establish a peer support atmosphere that bridges disciplinary, cultural, and regional differences in order to distill the common skills and capabilities that are necessary to identify and seize opportunities for shaping one’s own career trajectory in academia. The main topics of discussion for each session will be negotiated with the participants on the day. This is to make the workshop as relevant and practical to the participants as possible. FEES & LOGISTICS · Date: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 · Time: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. · Location: Chalmers student union building, room TBA. · Fee: 330 SEK · Lunch and coffee included. · Draft schedule on the facebook event page at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=110293655687140 SUBMISSION & PARTICIPATION The number of participants in this workshop is limited to 25. If you are interested in attending, please send an email by 1 Sep 2010 to both workshop organisers with a single PDF file that contains: · Your name, · Affiliation, · 200 word biography, · 200 word statement expressing your career aspirations, and what you hope to get out of your participation in this workshop.

Eds. 2010. Special issue on “Capitalist crisis, communication & culture“. tripleC (cognition, communication, co-operation): Open Access Journal for a Global Sustainable Information Society 8 (2): 193-309. “Capitalism […] is approaching an apocalyptic zero-point” (Slavoj Žižek). What is the role of communication in the general situation of capitalist crisis? The global economic downturn is an indicator of a new worldwide capitalist crisis. The main focus of most public debates as well as of economic and policy analyses is the role of finance capital and the housing market in creating the crisis, less attention is given to the role of communication technologies, the media, and culture in the world economic crisis. The task of this special issue of tripleC is to present analyses of the role of ICTs, the media, and culture in the current crisis of capitalism. The seven papers focus on the causes, development, and effects of the crisis. Each paper relates one or more of these dimensions to ICTs, the media, or culture.
