We propose a three-step method to identify people in social networks sites (SNS) who are talking about the same topics, even though they may be from different cultural backgrounds. Our method uses a cultural knowledge base from the OMCS-Br project to normalize cultural differences and find common interest among users based on statements they make various topics in a SNS. We evaluated three initial phrases that were used to search for sentences in a large social network using the cultural translation; we found that 81% of the retrieved sentences were judged to be related to the initial phrases. Thus, we have evidence that cultural normalization can support finding people talking about the same topic in a SNS even when they have different ways of saying the same thing. We believe that these culturally translated similarities can be used in a recommender system to contribute to the formation of homophilous online communities, research supported by Fapesp (proc. 2010/52135-9).
This ongoing research work defines the organicity of social networks as the possibility of sharing information that can change or "touch" people. Each participant is a cell, each relationship between people a vein, each oral expression the oxygen that feeds a cell and keeps it alive. To guarantee such organic well being, it is necessary to make the access to the shared knowledge in the social networks more natural and easy as possible by means of extended searches which go beyond traditional keywords search. The designed communication discussed here is a first step towards the contextualized and semantic mining of the knowledge spread on online social networks so that their organicity can be promoted to bring the right information in the exact moment.
A homologação do Parecer CNE/CEB 2/2022 estabelece novos e iminentes desafios para professores e demais profissionais da educação: o ensino de Computação na Educação Básica. Nesse contexto, este minicurso visa à capacitação dos participantes para a produção e o compartilhamento de Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REA) - usando-se o repositório dinâmico "aquare!a" - que possam nortear a implementação dos eixos temáticos de Computação nas escolas. Reconhecendo-se que o intercâmbio de saberes é uma atitude colaborativa e viável para a elaboração de soluções mais profícuas, as práticas inerentes aos REA podem contribuir significativamente como apoio à disseminação de conhecimentos e experiências. Assim, espera-se que o minicurso promova a percepção de REA como relevante instrumento para compartilhar ideias, projetos e uma diversidade de materiais educacionais que podem fomentar práticas docentes mais assertivas para o ensino e a aprendizagem.
This work aims to enlarge the OMCS-Br Project's potential. Contextualized applications have been developed to take advantage from the cultural knowledge base provided by it, but we had not considered multimedia resources yet. Thus, we have developed a new engine which allows people to store images and "add" cultural knowledge to them, enriching the possibilities to design contextualized applications where multimedia resources can be used according to users' cultural background.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
