Current PhD To-Do - Notes from supervisor meeting

So, on top of my day job... I have to do this :-)

Notes:

Reviewed what measures could possibly made directly from event log (i.e., an internal view). Need to consider how to bring in more “social” aspects. Need to have a concrete idea on what measures can be made on squidz data, and compare that to other systems.

Plan:

By next meeting, produce a report (format not important) which contains:

• Review papers on tagging papers, to identify (a) what features have been measured in other systems, and (b) what experimental methods can be cannibalised for squidz
• Details of what can be measured directly from within the Squidz log (i.e., precision, recall, click through rate, tags per annotation, tags per person, etc)
• Details of APIs for comparable tagging systems (Flickr, Delicious, Facebook).
• Details of what can be measured directly from the other systems
• Methods for comparing directly Squidz to other systems (with tentative ideas on how to explain the differences [squidz users have less tags, as each tag is more semantically richer])

Actions:

1. Nick. By next meeting. Produce draft report, as detailed above.
2. Nick. As soon as possible. Determine whether the report could be used as a basis for an ACTIVE deliverable on tagging systems (in order to justify spending more real time on PhD).
3. Nick. As soon as possible. To re-enable Essex username/password, to allow demonstration of squidz at next meeting

Issues:

Long term. Is it possible to migrate squidz onto an external server, for wider experimentation?

Date of next meeting:

About a month
