Assisting,Instructing, Assessing: 21st Century Student Centered Librarianship

ABSTRACT

For librarians at the University of North Florida, there was a need to move beyond information literacy instruction to one-on-one and small group research consultations to aid in student success. By staffing the research desk with staff and students, librarians were able to open their calendars to allow more time for in-person, phone, and online consultations to aid in meeting the research goals of students at the institution. After assessing the research consultation program for two years, there has been a positive correlation between research consultation usage, satisfaction in completing assignments, and student success measures throughout the university.

Predicting citation counts based on deep neural network learning techniques

With the growing number of published scientific papers world-wide, the need to evaluation and quality assessment methods for research papers is increasing. Scientific fields such as scientometrics, informetrics, and bibliometrics establish quantified analysis methods and measurements for evaluating scientific papers. In this area, an important problem is to predict the future influence of a published paper. Particularly, early discrimination between influential papers and insignificant papers may find important applications. In this regard, one of the most important metrics is the number of citations to the paper, since this metric is widely utilized in the evaluation of scientific publications and moreover, it serves as the basis for many other metrics such as h-index. In this paper, we propose a novel method for predicting long-term citations of a paper based on the number of its citations in the first few years after publication. In order to train a citation count prediction model, we employed artificial neural network which is a powerful machine learning tool with recently growing applications in many domains including image and text processing. The empirical experiments show that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods with respect to the prediction accuracy in both yearly and total prediction of the number of citations.     

News audience fragmentation in the Japanese Twittersphere

ABSTRACT

Although computational approaches to ideology-based audience fragmentation are promising, they are not without limitations. First, most existing studies have focused on the US, and the cross-national validity of their results has rarely been tested. Second, previous studies that rely solely on behavioral data from social media tend to make strong analytical assumptions such as that Twitter users prefer to follow media and politicians whose ideological positions are similar to their own, and that the ideologies of political elites can be extrapolated to infer the ideologies of ordinary users. We aim to address these limitations. First, we focus on Japan to test the generalizability of US findings in an Asian context. Second, we do not rely solely on behavioral measurement but combine survey and social media data to infer the ideologies of Twitter users. Results indicate that our classifier built based on these self-reported ideologies produces more valid estimates than naïve extrapolation from views of the elites. Based on these improved estimates of Twitter users’ ideologies, we demonstrate that the ideological distributions of those who follow major Japanese media accounts on Twitter largely overlap, suggesting an absence of ideology-based audience fragmentation.     

高校图书馆学习支持服务活动体系及其模型建构

[目的/意义] 总结高校图书馆学习支持服务活动体系并建构模型,以更好地理解高校图书馆学习支持服务的整体结构和运行机理。[方法/过程] 基于实际调研和主要职能总结出高校图书馆学习支持服务的基本形式和支撑条件。以活动为基本单位,分析学习支持服务活动的运行机理,进而尝试建构高校图书馆学习支持服务活动模型。[结果/结论] 资源服务形式和素质培育形式是高校图书馆学习支持服务的基本形式,空间、技术、人员是学习支持服务的3个支撑条件,应与基本形式相结合。两种基本形式与3个支撑条件的各种组合构成了高校图书馆学习支持服务的活动体系,需要基于活动的设计和组织进行深度融合。建构了一个高校图书馆学习支持服务活动的双螺旋模型,在机理上呈现出主体性的活动推动、非线性的逻辑递进、协同化的支持服务、共生式的融合发展等特征。

面向查询的观点摘要模型研究:以Debatepedia为数据源

本文系统性地研究面向查询的观点摘要任务,旨在构建一种查询式观点摘要模型框架,探究不同的摘要方法对摘要效果的影响。通过综合考虑情感倾向与句子相似度,从待检文档中抽取出待摘要语句,再结合神经网络和词嵌入技术生成摘要,进而构建面向查询的观点摘要框架。从Debatepedia网站上爬取议题和论述内容构建观点摘要实验数据集,将本文方法应用到该数据集上,以检验不同模型的效果。实验结果表明,在该数据集上,仅使用基于抽取式的方法生成的观点摘要质量更高,取得了最高的平均ROUGE分数、深度语义相似度分数和情感分数,较生成式方法分别提高6.58%、1.79%和11.52%,而比组合式方法提高了8.33%、2.80%和13.86%;同时,本文提出的句子深度语义相似度和情感分数评估指标有助于更好地评估面向查询的观点摘要模型效果。研究结果对于提升面向查询的观点摘要效果,促进观点摘要模型在情报学领域的应用具有重要意义。     

基于深度学习的期刊分群与科学知识结构测度方法研究

准确地研究和测度科学知识之间的逻辑关系和结构体系,是进行科学政策研究和科研项目资助布局等科研管理活动的重要基础。学术期刊作为科学知识传播和交流的重要平台,是探测科学知识结构的一种有效载体,但是不同的学术期刊分类体系对科学知识结构的测度结构会产生直接而广泛的影响。文章从学术期刊分群的角度出发,考虑期刊在共被引过程中的距离因素,通过采用深度学习算法,来进行期刊的相似度计算与分群问题研究,在此基础上进行科学知识结构测度方法研究,并以中国人文社会科学期刊引文数据库为实验对象进行了实证研究。从实证结果来看,我国人文社会科学学科知识结构存在较为明显的结构划分,不同学科类别或不同研究领域的期刊都被分到了相应的群组,表明从期刊使用的角度来看,我国人文社会科学知识结构边界是相对较为清晰的。在此基础上重点对法学期刊的两个群组的科学研究主题进行了挖掘,从关键词的共现网络中可以明显看出,两个期刊群体内的研究主题虽有一定的交叉,但是两者在具体研究内容上也存在着显著区别。
