Transnational Mathematics and Movements: Shiing- Shen Chern, Hua Luogeng, and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study from World War II to the Cold War1
Chinese Annals of History of Science and Technology 3 (2), 118–165 (2019) doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1461.2019.02118 Transnational Mathematics and Movements: Shiing- shen Chern, Hua Luogeng, and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study from World War II to the Cold War1 Zuoyue Wang 王作跃,2 Guo Jinhai 郭金海3 (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona 91768, US; Institute for the History of Natural Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China) Abstract: This paper reconstructs, based on American and Chinese primary sources, the visits of Chinese mathematicians Shiing-shen Chern 陈省身 (Chen Xingshen) and Hua Luogeng 华罗庚 (Loo-Keng Hua)4 to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the United States in the 1940s, especially their interactions with Oswald Veblen and Hermann Weyl, two leading mathematicians at the IAS. It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century. Keywords: Shiing-shen Chern, Chen Xingshen, Hua Luogeng, Loo-Keng Hua, Institute for 1 This article was copy-edited by Charlie Zaharoff. 2 Research interests: History of science and technology in the United States, China, and transnational contexts in the twentieth century. He is currently writing a book on the history of American-educated Chinese scientists and China-US scientific relations. -

An Overview of Ontoclean
8 An Overview of OntoClean Nieola Guarino1 and Christopher A. Welty lLaboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR) Polo Tecnologico, Via Solteri 38, 38100 Trento, ITAL Y [email protected] 2IBM Watson Research Center 19 Skyline Dr., Hawthome, NY 10532, USA [email protected] Summary. OntoClean is a methodology for validating the ontologie al adequaey of taxonomie relationships. It is based on highly general ontologieal notions drawn from philosophy, like essence, identity, and unity, whieh are used to ehar aeterize relevant aspeets of the intended meaning of the properties, classes, and relations that make up an ontology. These aspeets are represented by formal metaproperties, whieh impose several eonstraints on the taxonomie strueture of an ontology. The analysis of these eonstraints helps in evaluating and validating the ehoiees made. In this ehapter we present an informal overview ofthe philoso phieal notions involved and their role in OntoClean, review some eommon onto logieal pitfalls, and walk through the example that has appeared in pieees in pre vious papers and has been the basis of numerous tutorials and talks. 8.1 Introduction The OntoClean methodology was first introdueed in aseries of eonferenee-Iength papers in 2000 [Guarino and Welty, 2000a-e; Welty and Guarino, 2001], and re eeived mueh attention and use in subsequent years. The main eontribution of On toClean was the beginning of a formal foundation for ontologieal analysis. Alan Reetor, a seasoned veteran at ontologieal analysis in the medieal domain, said of OntoClean, " ... what you have done is reduee the amount of time I spend arguing with doetors that the way I want to model the world is right..."

Open Personalization: Involving Third Parties in Improving the User Experience of Websites Dissertation presented to the Department of Computer Languages and Systems of the University of the Basque Country in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (“international” mention) Cristóbal Arellano Bartolomé Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Oscar Díaz García Dr. Jon Iturrioz Sánchez San Sebastián, Spain, 2013 This work was hosted by the University of the Basque Country (Faculty of Computer Sciences). The author enjoyed a doctoral grant under de FPI (Formacion de Personal Investigador) from the Spanish Ministry of Science & Education during the years 2007 to 2011. The work was was co- supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education, and the European Social Fund under contracts (TIN2005-05610), MODELINE (TIN2008-06507- C02-01) and Scriptongue (TIN2011-23839). Summary Traditional software development captures the user needs during the requirement analysis. The Web makes this endeavour even harder due to the difficulty to determine who these users are. In an attempt to tackle the heterogeneity of the user base, Web Personalization techniques are proposed to guide the users’ experience. In addition, Open Innovation allows organisations to look beyond their internal resources to develop new products or improve existing processes. This thesis sits in between by introducing Open Personalization as a means to incorporate actors other than webmasters in the personalization of web applications. The aim is to provide the technological basis that builds up a trusty environment for webmasters and companion actors to collaborate, i.e. "an architecture of participation". Such architecture very much depends on these actors’ profile. -

Semantics Driven Human-Machine Computation Framework for Linked Islamic Knowledge Engineering
Semantics Driven Human-Machine Computation Framework for Linked Islamic Knowledge Engineering by Amna Basharat (Under the Direction of Khaled Rasheed and I. Budak Arpinar) Abstract Formalized knowledge engineering activities including semantic annotation and linked data management tasks in specialized domains suffer from considerable knowledge acquisition bottleneck - owing to the lack of availability of experts and in-efficacy of automated approaches. Human Computation & Crowdsourcing (HC&C) methods successfully advocate leveraging the human intelligence and pro- cessing power to solve problems that are still difficult to be solved computationally. Contextualized to the domain of Islamic Knowledge, this research investigates the synergistic interplay of these HC&C methods and the semantic web and proposes a semantics driven human-machine computation framework for knowledge engineer- ing in specialized and knowledge intensive domains. The overall objective is to augment the process of automated knowledge extraction and text mining methods using a hybrid approach for combining collective intelligence of the crowds with that of experts to facilitate activities in formalized knowledge engineering - thus overcoming the so-called knowledge acquisition bottleneck. As part of this framework, we design and implement formal and scalable knowl- edge acquisition workflows through the application of semantics driven crowdsourc- ing methodology and its specialized derivative, called learnersourcing. We evaluate these methods and workflows for a range of knowledge engineering tasks including thematic classification, thematic disambiguation, thematic annotation and contex- tual interlinking for two primary Islamic texts, namely the Qur’an and the books of Prophetic narrations called the Hadith. This is done at various levels of granu- larity, including atomic and composite task workflows, that existing research fails to address. -
