Workshop Objective

•  The objective of the workshop is:

•  To explain and demonstrate the utility of SEASR for digital humanities, and to bring you to a point where you could deploy, contribute and utilize the SEASR environment.

•  SEASR + TOOLS + EXEMPLARS + HANDS ON

Workshop Goals

•  The goals of the workshop are:

•  LEARN: Provide a detailed understanding of the SEASR framework

•  LEARN: Provide a foundation and examples for participant teams to use SEASR in a study or inquiry

•  ADOPT: Share participant generated research plans to utilize SEASR

•  INSTALL: Provide detailed instructions on how to install, build components, integrate existing applications, and maintain the SEASR environment

•  SUPPORT: Develop plans for resolution of issues raised by the user community in utilization of SEASR

•  SUSTAIN: Develop a plan for community driven future development and dissemination of SEASR

•  Learn + Adopt + Sustain

SEASR: Reach + Relevance + Reuse + Repeatability

SEASR emphasizes flexibility, scalability, modularity, provides community hub and access to heterogeneous data and computational systems –  Semantic driven environment for SOA interoperability –  Encourages sharing and participation for building communities –  Modular construction allows flows to be modified and configured

to encourage reusability within and across domains –  Enables a mashup and integration of tools –  Data-intensive flows can be executed on a simple desktop or a

large cluster(s) without modification –  Computation can be created for distributed execution on servers

where the content lives –  User accessibility to control trust and compliance with required

copyright license of content –  Relies on standardized Resource Description Framework (RDF) to

define components and flow

Participant Project Plan

•  Participant Project Plan Guide

–  Research Objective

–  Data Source(s)

–  Transformation(s)

–  Query, Descriptive, and/or Analysis

–  Evaluation – Table, Visualization

–  Interaction

–  Outcome

Workbench

•  Web-based UI

•  Components and flows are retrieved from server

•  Additional locations of components and flows can be added to server

•  Create flow using a graphical drag and drop interface

•  Change property values

•  Execute the flow

Community Hub

SEASR @ Work – Zotero

•  Plugin to Firefox •  Zotero manages the

collection •  Launch SEASR Analytics

–  Citation Analysis uses the JUNG network importance algorithms to rank the authors in the citation network that is exported as RDF data from Zotero to SEASR

–  Zotero Export to Fedora through SEASR

–  Saves results from SEASR Analytics to a Collection

•  Launch MONK Processing –  MONK DB Ingestion Workflow

Web Service

Interactive Web Application

SEASR @ Work – Fedora

SEASR @ Work – Entity Mash-up

•  Entity Extraction with OpenNLP

•  Locations viewed on Google Map

•  Dates viewed on Simile Timeline

SEASR @ Work – Audio Analysis

•  NEMA: Executes a SEASR flow for each run –  Loads audio data

–  Extracts features for every 10 sec moving window of audio

–  Loads and applies the models

–  Sends results back to the WebUI

•  NESTER: Annotation of Audio via Spectral Analysis

SEASR @ Work – MONK

Executes flows for each analysis requested

–  Predictive modeling using Naïve Bayes

–  Predictive modeling using Support Vector Machines (SVM)

SEASR @ Work – DISCUS •  On-demand usage of

analytics while surfing –  While navigating

request analytics to be performed on page

–  Text extraction and cleaning

•  Summarization and key work extraction

–  List the important terms on the page being analyzed

–  Provide relevant short summaries

•  Visual maps –  Provide a visual

representation of the key concepts

–  Show the graph of relations between concepts

SEASR and UIMA : Emotion Tracking Goal is to have this type of Visualization to track emotions across a text document (Leveraging flare.prefuse.org)
