    Written in 2018 by Mimi Onuoha and Mother Cyborg (Diana Nucera), a People's Guide to AI is a comprehensive beginner's guide to understanding AI and other data-driven tech. The guide uses a popular education approach to explore and explain AI-based technologies so that everyone—from youth to seniors, and from non-techies to experts—has the chance to think critically about the kinds of futures automated technologies can bring.The mission of A People's Guide to AI is to open up conversation around AI by demystifying, situating, and shifting the narrative about what types of use cases AI can have for everyday people

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Kann Künstliche Intelligenz Vorurteile haben? Zur Kritik des 'algorithmic bias' von KI in den Künsten

    No full text
    Das Working Paper widmet sich künstlerischen Positionen, die sich kritisch mit ‚Künstlicher Intelligenz‘ und automatisierter Mustererkennung durch Algorithmen auseinander setzen. Anhand einer Reihe von Beispielen zeigt es die gesellschaftliche Problematik auf, die aus den Verzerrungen des Bias resultiert und wie Künstler*innen darauf reagieren. Ausgehend von Analysen Harun Farockis und Hito Steyerls werden Projekte von Adam Harvey und Jules LaPlace, Zach Blas und Jemima Wyman, Elisa Giardina Papa, Francis Hunger und Flupke, Erika Scourti, Mimi Onuoha, Nora Al-Badri und Jan Nikolai Nelles dargestell

    Artiste, cyborg, intelligenza artificiale: rappresentazioni di genere e prospettive situate

    No full text
    A partire dal lavoro di Lynn Hershman Leeson – una delle più influenti protagoniste della new media art – il testo considera alcune ricerche artistiche con i più recenti new media condotte da donne e focalizzate prevalentemente sulla rappresentazione della figura femminile o dei posizionamenti di genere. Infatti, a fronte di una ormai crescente bibliografia sulla generazione che ha attraversato il femminismo sovente impegnata nell’immagine in movimento (dal film al video, fino all’animazione digitale), sono meno note le artiste attive nei territori dell’interattività, della Net Art e del web evoluto, dei videogiochi, della realtà virtuale o dell’intelligenza artificiale: Natalie Boockhin, Stephanie Dinkins, Miranda July, Mimi Onuoha, ORLAN, Lauren Lee McCarthy

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
