    ITAVIS: 2nd Italian Visualization & Visual Analytics Workshop

    Data-driven analysis, AI, machine learning and modern data science pipelines of analysis are becoming more and more important possibilities when coping with problem solving. In this respect, the capability to explore data, understands how algorithmic approaches work and steer them toward the desired goals make Visualization and Visual Analytics strong research fields in which to invest efforts. While this importance has been understood by several countries (e.g., USA, Germany, France) that created strong national communities around these research fields, in Italy the research efforts in these fields are still disjointed. With the second edition of ITAVIS we want to consolidate and expand on the encouraging results obtained from the first edition (ITA.WA.- Italian Visualization & Visual Analytics workshop). The goal is to make an additional step toward the creation of an Italian research community on these topics, allowing identification of research directions, joining forces in achieving them, linking researchers and practitioners and developing common guidelines and programs for teaching activities on the fields of Visualization and Visual Analytics

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Three dimensional integrated survey for building investigations

    In this case report will present the most salient results of a survey aimed to representation of collapse of a building and the feasibility of the modellation as support of structure analysis. In particular the survey was made on a building in Salerno, built in the twenties of the twentieth century late Art Nouveau style. The collapse occurred at the sunup, but no victims or injured people were caused only because that part of the building contained living rooms of apartments, rather than bedrooms. For this case of study was realized an integrated survey with topographic, photogrammetric and terrestrial laser scanner techniques in order to obtain the 3D model of building, plans and prospects and the particular of area collapsed. The models and representations obtained, have been of help to the structural analysis conducted by experts, ordered by the criminal court for the preparation of the expert report

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
