  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

(2020): Green space trends in small towns of Kyiv region according to EOS Land Viewer – a case study. J. For. Sci., 66: 252–263. Abstract: The state of ecological balance of cities is determined by the analysis of the qualitative composition of green space. The lack of green space inventory in small towns in the Kyiv region has prompted the use of express analysis provided by the EOS Land Viewer platform, which allows obtaining an instantaneous distribution of the urban and suburban territories by a number of vegetative indices and in recent years – by scene classification. The purpose of the study is to determine the current state and dynamics of the ratio of vegetation and built-up cover of the territories of small towns in Kyiv region with establishing the rating of towns by eco-balance of territories. The distribution of the territory of small towns by the most common vegetation index NDVI, as well as by S AVI, which is more suitable for areas with vegetation coverage of less than 30%, has been monitored.

  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.

  • 1 Mykola Doroshko the Ruling Stratum in the Ukrainian SSR
    Mykola Doroshko The Ruling Stratum in the Ukrainian SSR during the Holodomor of 1932–33 In recent times a large body of literature has been published about the initiators of the Holodomor, that is, those who engineered the famine-genocide that took place in Ukraine in 1932–33. The general public is familiar with their names. However, there are far fewer scholarly works devoted to the activities of the immediate executors of Stalin’s directives during the greatest national catastrophe in Ukrainian history—the Communist Party and Soviet nomenklatura (party appointees) of the Ukrainian SSR, which constituted the nucleus of the Kremlin’s colonial administration in the republic. Stalin’s intention to punish the Ukrainian peasants for their resistance to the policy of all-out collectivization by means of a terror-famine depended both on the top ranks of the Soviet Ukrainian leadership and on the utterly compliant local apparatus of power in the republic. Was this apparatus capable of starving the Ukrainian peasants into submission? The state grain-procurement campaigns of 1932 and 1933, the main goal of which was to confiscate grain from the Ukrainian peasantry, were directed by Stanislav Kosior, general secretary of the Central Committee, Communist Party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine (CC CP[B]U), Vlas Chubar, head of the Council of People’s Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR, and Hryhorii Petrovsky, head of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsVK). In possession of information about the actual state of affairs in Ukrainian agriculture, the leaders of Soviet Ukraine took certain steps to convince the Kremlin leadership that the grain-procurement plans issued from above were unrealistic.
