Subject: [i-announce@ischool] Don't miss next week's special lecture
"Synthesizing Knowledge from Disagreement, " with Jodi Schneider
To:




UC Berkeley School of Information <http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/>

Don't miss the upcoming special lecture at the UC Berkeley School of
Information:

*Synthesizing Knowledge from Disagreement*
<http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/newsandevents/events/20150218jodischneider>
with *Jodi Schneider*

Wednesday, February 18, 2015, 4:10 pm - 5:30 pm
210 South Hall

New methodologies for information synthesis that combine machine and
human intelligence are needed to make sense of the overwhelming amounts
of information being produced each day. Of particular interest are novel
methods that support the resolution of contested information and
disagreement. I will present a new method for supporting online
sense-making that has been applied to Wikipedia. Decisions are made
through open discussions; approximately 500 discussions per week concern
whether a particular topic should be deleted from the encyclopedia and
may involve from 2 to 200 people. I will discuss a new method and a
reconfigurable Web interface that provides meaningful support for these
discussions. I will then discuss how innovative methods for tracking
scientific discourse could be translated into the biomedical domain to
support the systematic review process.

Web/ and /Biomedical Semantics/ and in top computing conferences such
as the ACM's Computer-Supported Collaborative Work. Her dissertation

discussions. Currently she is working with pharmacists to design an
intelligent crowdsourcing system for improving clinical drug information
sources.
