Design/methodology/approach – Review the history of encyclopedias, their composition, and usage by focusing on select publications covering different subject areas. Findings – Due to their static nature, traditionally published encyclopedias are not always accurate, objective information resources. Intentions of editors and authors also come into question. A researcher may find more value in using encyclopedias as historical documents rather than resources for quick facts.

  • Towards a Fully Automated Extraction and Interpretation of Tabular Data Using Machine Learning
    UPTEC F 19050 Examensarbete 30 hp August 2019 Towards a fully automated extraction and interpretation of tabular data using machine learning Per Hedbrant Per Hedbrant Master Thesis in Engineering Physics Department of Engineering Sciences Uppsala University Sweden Abstract Towards a fully automated extraction and interpretation of tabular data using machine learning Per Hedbrant Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten Motivation A challenge for researchers at CBCS is the ability to efficiently manage the Besöksadress: different data formats that frequently are changed. Significant amount of time is Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 spent on manual pre-processing, converting from one format to another. There are Hus 4, Plan 0 currently no solutions that uses pattern recognition to locate and automatically recognise data structures in a spreadsheet. Postadress: Box 536 751 21 Uppsala Problem Definition The desired solution is to build a self-learning Software as-a-Service (SaaS) for Telefon: automated recognition and loading of data stored in arbitrary formats. The aim of 018 – 471 30 03 this study is three-folded: A) Investigate if unsupervised machine learning Telefax: methods can be used to label different types of cells in spreadsheets. B) 018 – 471 30 00 Investigate if a hypothesis-generating algorithm can be used to label different types of cells in spreadsheets. C) Advise on choices of architecture and Hemsida: technologies for the SaaS solution. http://www.teknat.uu.se/student Method A pre-processing framework is built that can read and pre-process any type of spreadsheet into a feature matrix. Different datasets are read and clustered. An investigation on the usefulness of reducing the dimensionality is also done.

Cover design and layout by Julia Rios Cover photograph by Susanne Stöckli For Leonard, my foundation. And for Aaron Swartz, our lighthouse. Table of Contents • Introduction • Conducting a SWOT analysis • How to start thinking about budgets and money • Teaching and including unskilled volunteers • An outline of the full book • Acknowledgments • About the author • Feedback welcome Introduction Getting Open Source Projects Unstuck (or, in other words: maintaining legacy open source projects. Below is the introduction for the full, forthcoming book.) Who this book is for and what you should get out of it You are about to get an open source project unstuck. Maybe a bunch of work is piling up in the repository and users are getting worried, waiting for a release. Maybe developers have gotten bogged down, trying to finish a big rewrite while maintaining the stable release. Maybe the project's suffering for lack of infrastructure — testing, money, an institutional home. You noticed the problem. So that means it's up to you to fix it. Or you're getting paid to fix it, even though you didn't start this thing. A while ago I blurted out the phrase "dammit-driven leadership." Because sometimes you look around, and you realize something needs doing, and you're the only one who really gets why, so you say, “Dammit, okay, I'll do it, then.” After reading this book, you should be prepared to: 1.

What you now hold in your hands is the first annual report of the GNOME Foundation, at the end of what has been an eventful year for us. Each year brings its challenges and rewards for the members of this global project. This year, many of our biggest challenges are in the legal arena. European countries have been passing laws to conform with the European Union Copyright Directive, and some, including France, have brought into law provisions which we as software developers find it hard to understand, but which appear to make much of what we do illegal. We have found our- selves in the center of patent wars as bigger companies jockey for position with offerings based on our hard work. And we are scratching our heads trying to figure out how to deal with the constraints of DRM and patents in multimedia, while still offering our users access to their media files.
