6 Alistair McAlpine: trial by twitter November 2012: Lord Alistair McAlpine falsely accused on Twitter from child abuse in Wrexham children's home Without checking taken over by the Brittish press, incl BBC BBC settlement for 185,000 Lord McAlpine claims up to 500,000 for ITV His laywers identified 1,000 people that sent out tweets claiming he is a pedosexual and 9,000 people that retweeted the message. 6
7 2009: Vaccination of 12-year old girls against the papilloma virus (HPV) Included in the national vaccination programme despite the high costs and supported by science Undermined by Internet forums, e.g. Gardasil is the HPV vaccine, touted to fight cervical cancer. What they are not telling you is that thousands of girls are having adverse reactions to the HPV Vaccines, some have even died -at last count, at least 103 lives have been lost. We have got to do something about this. These girls need our help! These girls are having reactions such as; seizures, strokes, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headaches, stomach pains, vomitting, muscle pain and weakness, joint pain, auto-immune problems, chest pains, hair loss, appetite loss, personality changes, insomnia, hand/leg tremors, arm/leg weakness, shortness of breath, heart problems, paralysis, itching, rashes, swelling, aching muscles,pelvic pain, nerve pain, menstrual cycle changes, fainting, swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, nausea, temporary vision/hearing loss just to name some of them! Campaigne partially failed: only 60% got vaccinated 7
8 Data Information Knowledge opinions truth lies trust deception Provenance! 8
9 Help computers understand language How to get from free text to structured data? How to detect opinions? How to detect lies and false information? How to handle the provenance of information streams created by humans who is responsible for what information and knowledge? 9
10 How difficult can it be? De band speelt buiten op het veld. Ze hebben er zin in. Bij de eerste slag slaat de drummer zijn stokken al stuk. 10
11 How difficult can it be? The band plays outside on the field. They are looking forward to it. With the first beat, the drummer already breaks his sticks. 11
12 De band[12] speelt[12] buiten[3] op het veld[12]. Ze hebben er zin[12] in. Bij[3] de eerste slag[18] slaat[9] de drummer zijn stokken[6] al stuk[12]. 12 X 12 X 3 X 12 X 12 X 3 X 18 X 9 X 6 X 12 = (2 BILLION) combinations of meanings 12
13 Ambiguity of language Some data on the Dutch language 5,000 words have 3 to 18 meanings and are most frequent: e.g. slag (hit):18, gaan (go):17, houden (keep):17, zin (sense):12, stuk (piece):12, band:12, veld (field):12, spelen (play): % of each text is composed of these words (6-8 out of 10 words in a text) Computer error rate of 40%, processing is extremely slow 13
14 Teach computers to detect meaning Wordnets: Strong intuition on semantic relations between words: band, jazzband, orchestra, rock-band, big-band, steel band, quintet, quartet, chorus, duet, octet, trio Network of words, meanings and relations: over hundredthousands words and many more relations Distributional semantic vectors of words: J.R. Firth: You shall know a word by the company it keeps The music of X, X sounds great, joins X, X is playing tonight band Machine-learning: Examples of sentences with ambiguous words used in different meanings: band music, play, decoration, social bond, member of Co-occurring words become features for detecting meanings 14
15 From words to sentences to text to stories The deep-reading of text
16 Can we handle the news? 2 million items from 30,000 sources each working day 16
17 Big and Deep Volume of text and news is enormous We have no knowledge about its content Duplication, repetition, complementation, contradictions, old mixed with new Information cannot be seen without its provenance complex network of sources With every fact comes the opinion of its source From volumes of text to volumes of facts and volumes of opinions 17
18 NewsReader-ICT Automatically process massive streams of daily news from thousands of sources in 4 different languages by machinereading Recording the changes in the world as they are told in the media over long periods of time history-recorder Organise and visualise massive amounts of information as stories, scripts, plots to provide more effecient access Partners: Netherlands (VU University Amsterdam, LexisNexis, Synerscope), Spain (Basque University), UK (ScraperWiki) and Italy (Federation Bruno Kessler, Trento) January , Funded by the EU, FP7, ICTchallenge
19 Overall approach Resolve all mentions of events (what), their participants (who) and references to time (when) and place (where) in each textual source and in any other structural database Determine which mentions (descriptions) refer to the same event (co-reference) and what the relations are between the ones that do not co-refer (time, cause, subevents). Combine all information from mentions on the same event around a hypothetical event-instance aggregate from multiple sources Combine all instances into story lines over time longterm processes such as the financial crisis 19
20 What happened at Vorst in Belgium? April 2006: Juli 2006: Less Golfs produced in Vorst, maybe more Polos. If not, we have a problem, says a union representative... November 2006: Polo production to Vorst, no jobs lost in Spain and extra jobs in Belgium. Augustus 2006: production of Polo from Spain to Eastern-Europe because of social problems in Pamplona and maybe production to Vorst in Belgium Volkswagen stops the production of Golf in Vorst: 3,500 jobs are lost November 2009: Audi plant in Vorst stops the production of Polo: 300 jobs lost 20
