This includes fields for both author and editor. • Find: Select any text and do cmd-f (Find) to see only the sentences which contain the selected text. Any headings above any occurrences will also appear, and in the case of this book that will be the name of the author of the articles so you can quickly see who wrote about the same text. - cmd-f to exit out of this view or ESC. • Glossary: Select any text and do cmd-f (Find), as above, however, if the text is included in the glossary, it will appear at the top of the screen. There are glossary entries for all the contributing author's names. - cmd-f to exit out of this view or ESC. • Fold to Outline: Do cmd- (minus) to fold the document into an outline showing only the headings. Fold more or less levels with cmd-plus and cmd-minus. Note: For a very long document, such as this book, it will take a few seconds to index the contents before this command becomes active. • ‘n’ to see all Names. • ‘h’ on selected text to Highlight. ‘h’ without selecting text to View All Highlights. • ‘s’ on selected text to Speak the text. • Full Screen: Reader works best in full screen: ESC to go into and out of full screen. • Instant Look-Ups: Select and text and launch the free companion application Liquid (installed separately) using the keyboard shortcut you have assigned. You will then get the Liquid bar with the selected text. You can now either mouse through the options or use the keyboard shortcuts, such as ‘r’ for ‘References’ and then ‘w’ for ‘Wikipedia’ or ‘e’ for ‘Etymology’. You can also translate text and convert numbers. Author, Reader and Liquid are available from: http://augmentedtext.info ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful for the encouragement and support of my friend and mentor Doug Engelbart. I would further like to thank Vint Cerf for supporting the Symposium over the years and to Ted Nelson for continuously opening my mind to how wonderful the Future Of Text can be. I thank my perfect wife Emily Maki Ballard Hegland (and perfect mother to our son Edgar) for her support, encouragement and patience over the years and Edgar himself, who never ceases to make me smile. I would also like to thank my parents Turid and Ole Hegland, and my brother Henning. Sarah Walton helped me to formulate my perspective of ‘liquid information’ and Howard Rheingold helped me understand the roots of our ‘Silicon Valley’ world. Jacob Hazelgrove realized my dream of building a word processor (Author) and reader application (Reader). Roman Solodovnikov and his team built Liquid in many versions over the years and most recently re-invigorated LiSA. The academic community at WAIS at the University of Southampton, including my PhD advisors Dame Wendy Hall and Les Carr, as well as David Millard, Chris Gutteridge, Mark Anderson (particularly for hypertext history) and many others, has been a fertile thinking ground for my personal understanding of what text is and, in particular, what academic text can be. I am further grateful for my friends for their many fantastic perspectives who have helped me see things just a bit differently over the years, including (in a very random order) Harsha DeSilva, Paul Presley, Houria Iderkou, Livia Polanyi, Janine Earl, Stephen Fry, Bjørn Borud, Aspasia Dellaporta, Joe Corneli, David Price, Tom Standage and Bruce Horn, my first computer ‘hero’ who became a friend. Jane, Gian and Termini has also provided me with a heaven of a workspace outside and Paul and Tim inside– thank you, environments make a difference, whether physical or digital, as the genius of environment design Therese always reminded me. I thank Valentina Moressa for helping communicate and promote the book to a wider audience than I could ever have managed on my own, with valuable assistance from Julia Wright, Keith Martin for help with design/Adobe InDesign and Tim Donaldson for font choices, including his personal designed ‘Shinglewoode’ which is used for blockquotes. Finally, and most of all, a huge thank you to all the contributors who truly ‘made’ this book! Dedicated to my son Edgar and my father Ole.

  • When Diving Deep Into Operationalizing the Ethical Development of Artificial Intelligence, One Immediately Runs Into the “Fractal Problem”
    When diving deep into operationalizing the ethical development of artificial intelligence, one immediately runs into the “fractal problem”. This may also be called the “infinite onion” problem.1 That is, each problem within development that you pinpoint expands into a vast universe of new complex problems. It can be hard to make any measurable progress as you run in circles among different competing issues, but one of the paths forward is to pause at a specific point and detail what you see there. Here I list some of the complex points that I see at play in the firing of Dr. Timnit Gebru, and why it will remain forever after a really, really, really terrible decision. The Punchline. The firing of Dr. Timnit Gebru is not okay, and the way it was done is not okay. It appears to stem from the same lack of foresight that is at the core of modern technology,2 and so itself serves as an example of the problem. The firing seems to have been fueled by the same underpinnings of racism and sexism that our AI systems, when in the wrong hands, tend to soak up. How Dr. Gebru was fired is not okay, what was said about it is not okay, and the environment leading up to it was -- and is -- not okay. Every moment where Jeff Dean and Megan Kacholia do not take responsibility for their actions is another moment where the company as a whole stands by silently as if to intentionally send the horrifying message that Dr. Gebru deserves to be treated this way.

Tucker, Swansea University, Swansea, UK Jeffrey R. Yost, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA The History of Computing series publishes high-quality books which address the history of computing, with an emphasis on the ‘externalist’ view of this history, more accessible to a wider audience. The series examines content and history from four main quadrants: the history of relevant technologies, the history of the core science, the history of relevant business and economic developments, and the history of computing as it pertains to social history and societal developments. Titles can span a variety of product types, including but not exclusively, themed volumes, biographies, ‘profi le’ books (with brief biographies of a number of key people), expansions of workshop proceedings, general readers, scholarly expositions, titles used as ancillary textbooks, revivals and new editions of previous worthy titles. These books will appeal, varyingly, to academics and students in computer science, history, mathematics, business and technology studies.

  • Interpretation of Molecule Conformations from Drawn Diagrams” by Dana Tenneson, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2008
    Abstract of \Interpretation of Molecule Conformations from Drawn Diagrams" by Dana Tenneson, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2008. In chemistry, molecules are drawn on paper and chalkboards as diagrams consisting of lines, letters, and symbols which represent not only the atoms and bonds in the molecules but concisely encode cues to the 3D geometry of the molecules. Recent efforts into pen-based input methods for chemistry software have made progress at allowing chemists to input 2D diagrams of molecules into a computer simply by drawing them on a digitizer tablet. However, the task of interpreting these parsed sketches into proper 3D models has been largely unsolved due to the difficulty in making the models satisfy both the natural properties of molecule structure and the geometric cues made explicit in the drawing. This dissertation presents a set of techniques developed to solve this model construction problem within the context of an educational application for chemistry students. Our primary contribution is a framework for combining molecular structure knowledge and molecule diagram understanding via augmenting molecular mechanics equations to include drawing-based penalty terms. Additionally, we present an algorithm for generating molecule models from drawn diagrams which leverages domain- specific and diagram-driven heuristics. These heuristics make our process fast and accurate enough for molecule diagram drawing to be used as an interactive technique for model construction on modern Tablet PC computers.

  • Proposal to Represent the Slashed Zero Variant of Empty
    L2/15-268 Title: Proposal to Represent the Slashed Zero Variant of Empty Set Source: Barbara Beeton (American Mathematical Society), Asmus Freytag (ASMUS, Inc.), Laurențiu Iancu and Murray Sargent III (Microsoft Corporation) Status: Individual contribution Action: For consideration by the Unicode Technical Committee Date: 2015-10-30 Abstract As of Unicode Version 8.0, the symbol for empty set is encoded as the character U+2205 EMPTY SET, with no standardized variation sequences. In scientific publications, the symbol is typeset in one of three var- iant forms, chosen by notational style: a slashed circle, ∅, a slashed wide oval in the shape a letter, ∅, or a slashed narrow oval in the shape of a digit zero, . The slashed circle and the slashed zero forms are the most widely used, and correspond to the LaTeX commands \varnothing and \emptyset, respectively. Having one Unicode representation to map to, fonts that provide glyphs for more than one form of the symbol typically implement a stylistic variant or a mapping to a PUA code point. However, the wide- spread use of the slashed zero variant and its mapping to the main LaTeX command for the symbol, \emptyset, make it a candidate for a dedicated means to distinctly represent it in Unicode. This document evaluates three approaches for representing in Unicode the slashed zero variant of the empty set symbol and proposes a solution based on a variation sequence. Additional related characters resulting from the investigation and needed to complete the solution are also proposed for encoding. 1. The empty set symbol 1.1. Historical references The introduction of the modern symbol for the empty set is attributed to André Weil of the Nicholas Bourbaki group.
