A brief overview of data mining and analytics in games
No full textThe twenty-first century has been repeatedly proclaimed to be the century of data. The increasing processing capabilities of computers and the proliferation of Internet-enabled devices have made it easier than ever to gather more and more data about 2every aspect of our daily lives. The massive amount of data produced every day, however, also needs to be transformed into actual information and knowledge to be of real value and to be of actual use for decision-making. This requires adequate techniques and tools that help uncover hidden and valuable information or patterns within the collected data. Otherwise, the large volumes of data are just that—data bare any deeper meaning. This is the goal of data mining (Kantardzic, 2011). While data mining has been and is receiving considerable attention to be able to cope with the ever-increasing data volumes, the term started to appear in the late 1980s, early 1990s (Coenen, 2011; Dong & Pei, 2007). Data mining is not a single technique but rather a conglomerate of methods, techniques, and algorithms, usually applied in an iterative or explorative process
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Skeleton Abstraction for Universal Temporal Properties
No full textUniform coloured Petri nets can be abstracted to their skeleton, the
place/transition net that simply turns the coloured tokens into black tokens. A
coloured net and its skeleton are related by a net morphism. For the
application of the skeleton as an abstraction method in the model checking
process, we need to establish a simulation relation between the state spaces of
the two nets. Then, universal temporal properties (properties of the
logic) are preserved. The abstraction relation induced by a net morphism is not
necessarily a simulation relation, due to a subtle issue related to deadlocks.
We discuss several situations where the abstraction relation induced by a net
morphism is as well a simulation relation, thus preserving properties.
We further propose a partition refinement algorithm for folding a
place/transition net into a coloured net. This way, skeleton abstraction
becomes available for models given as place/transition nets. Experiments
demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed technology. Using skeleton
abstraction, we are capable of solving problems that have not been solved
before in the Model Checking Contest
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Hang On To Your Hats
No full textThis reading textbook from the 80's shows the place fables have had in education recently. Two fables appear. TT (156), adapted by Arthur Yorinks and illustrated by Ronald LeHew, uses simple cartoon figures and presents the turtle's talkativeness as a conscious stance. Flying was so much fun. The turtle had to say something. So he began to talk. He fell into water, said that he thought he talked too much, and did not go anywhere after that. If I was a child, I think I would not be eager to read many more stupid and childish stories of this sort. In WS (178), adapted by Regina Neuman and illustrated by John Wallner, the wind, an arrogant bully, picks out a little girl and asks if the sun can make her take off her green coat. The wind of course claims to be able to do it.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Regina Neuman et a
