More than four decades have passed since the advent of the new folkloristics. Assessments of this revolution tend to narrowly focus on performance theory and not on whether the broader promises of this era have been realized, especially in areas of cross-disciplinary research. This address will look specifically at how attitudes toward historical scholarship have changed within the discipline of folklore and how we have constructed our own disciplinary histories during this postrevolutionary phase. Finally, the address will look to the future and whether we are reconstructing our past in our current graduate training in the discipline.
Probabilistic topic models provide a suite of tools for analyzing large document collections. Topic modeling algorithms discover the latent themes that underlie the documents and identify how each document exhibits those themes. Topic modeling can be used to help explore, summarize, and form predictions about documents. Topic modeling ideas have been adapted to many domains, including images, music, networks, genomics, and neuroscience.
Traditional topic modeling algorithms analyze a document collection and estimate its latent thematic structure. However, many collections contain an additional type of data: how people use the documents. For example, readers click on articles in a newspaper website, scientists place articles in their personal libraries, and lawmakers vote on a collection of bills. Behavior data is essential both for making predictions about users (such as for a recommendation system) and for understanding how a collection and its users are organized.
In this talk, I will review the basics of topic modeling and describe our recent research on collaborative topic models, models that simultaneously analyze a collection of texts and its corresponding user behavior. We studied collaborative topic models on 80,000 scientists' libraries from Mendeley and 100,000 users' click data from the arXiv. Collaborative topic models enable interpretable recommendation systems, capturing scientists' preferences and pointing them to articles of interest. Further, these models can organize the articles according to the discovered patterns of readership. For example, we can identify articles that are important within a field and articles that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
More broadly, topic modeling is a case study in the large field of applied probabilistic modeling. Finally, I will survey some recent advances in this field. I will show how modern probabilistic modeling gives data scientists a rich language for expressing statistical assumptions and scalable algorithms for uncovering hidden patterns in massive data.

The late Robert E. Thompson, who attended Indiana University on the G.I. Bill after World War II, became a top political reporter who eventually rose through the ranks to excel in newspaper management.
Thompson came to Indiana from his hometown of Los Angeles to study journalism and stayed after earning his degree in 1949. His first job was as a reporter for the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazette.
In 1951, Thompson was hired by the International News Service, a wire service owned by the Hearst chain, to cover agriculture from Washington, D.C. By the time the 1956 presidential elections arrived, Thompson had changed his beat to politics, an area he had always wanted to cover. He reported on the presidential campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
INS merged with United Press in 1958, and Thompson was one of many who were laid off. Shortly after, however, Sen. John F. Kennedy asked Thompson to be the press secretary for his re-election campaign. Thompson quickly returned to the newspaper business, however, joining the Washington, D.C., bureau of the New York Daily News in 1959. He was assigned the White House beat and would eventually report on his former boss after Kennedy was elected president.
He returned to his hometown in 1962 for a four-year stint writing for the Los Angeles Times. Thompson then was named Washington bureau chief for Hearst Newspapers. He later served as Hearst’s national news editor, then publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before returning to his position as bureau chief in Washington. He would retain this title until his retirement in 1989.
Thompson’s involvement with the Kennedy family was a distinctive part of his career. He was on the scene for the coverage of President Kennedy’s assassination and witnessed Jack Ruby’s shooting of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald. He co-authored the book Robert Kennedy: The Brother Within, a biography about the late senator.
During his time at IU, Thompson served as editor-in-chief of the Indiana Daily Student and was active in student government. He returned to IU Journalism in the early 1970s as the Ernie Pyle lecturer. His weekly column for Hearst about his experience as a political reporter continued until a month before his death in 2003.
The IU Libraries provide publishing support to open access journals through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. The Scholarly Communication and Digital Collections Services departments recently collaborated to migrate two open access journals that use XML publishing workflows from XTF and DSpace to OJS. In this presentation, Homenda and Pekala will discuss the history of XML journal publishing projects at the IU Libraries, detailing the recent migration of the Indiana Magazine of History and The Medieval Review to OJS.
With the increasing role social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumbler play in our lives today, the body of data generated by their users continues to grow phenomenally. Accordingly, searches and processing of social media data beyond the limiting level of surface words are becoming increasingly important to business and governmental bodies, as well as to lay web users. Detection of sentiment, emotion, deception, gender, sarcasm, age, perspective, topic, community, and personality are all valuable social meaning components that promise to be important elements of next generation search engines and web intelligence. The emerging area of extracting social meaning from social media data using computational methods is known as Social Media Mining (SMM).
This workshop is intended to first introduce the core ideas of natural language processing (NLP) and then to provide the ideas and some hands-on instruction in mining social data using NLP and machine learning technologies. As such, we will address practical issues related to building tools to mine social media data and some of the primary computational methods employed for modeling social meaning as occurring in these data.
"At that time, supported employment was just beginning across this country" and the goal was "to show that this was very viable, that people with severe disabilities could actually work." Suellen Jackson-Boner, the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Executive Director for 35 years until she retired in 2015, discusses several projects the Council was involved in over the years.
In addition to supported employment, the Council funded housing initiatives starting in the early 80’s. The Council staff organized people in Indiana too work towards the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Count Us IN was a project centered on the right to accessible polling places for people with disabilities. The Council was an early supporter of promoting leadership among people with disabilities. Suellen states, “There are a lot things the Council was at the very forefront in helping to fund or get started and to get organized, which is really, I think exciting.”
"The initiative on livable communities is one that I was super excited about, because I think to me that's where the disability community should be." Suellen Jackson-Boner discusses the direction that the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities was taking when she retired in 2015. Interviewed in that year, Suellen had been the Council's executive director for 35 years. She recalls the early days of the agency, which is mandated by the 1975 Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, but was strictly an advisory body at that point. After effecting a funding transition that allowed the agency to become independent in its activities, community employment was an early focus. "At that time, supported employment was just beginning across this country" and the goal was "to show that this was very viable, that people with severe disabilities could actually work." The cooperation of four state agencies to create this initiative in the early 1980s was remarkable, Suellen points out. Early group homes, another Council emphasis, were an important vehicle for getting people out of institutions. The Council went on to serve as a catalyst for supported living and home ownership by people with disabilities.
Suellen talks about how the Council has promoted leadership among people with disabilities, building their capacities to make change, through support of early self-advocacy groups and such programs as Partners in Policymaking. Prior to passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, "the staff was heavily involved in working toward organizing people" to effect its passage. Then it sponsored trainings to educate people, particularly people with disabilities, about what the legislation entails and how to use it as an advocate. Count Us IN was a 2002 Council project surveying the accessibility of polling places. Employing people with disabilities as surveyors, thousands of polling places were assessed on election day, with support and follow-up from the Secretary of State's office. The Council's annual statewide conference on disability "has grown year after year and brought in a lot of people from all over the state and sometimes even neighboring states," Suellen recounts.
Taik Sup Auh has forged a career as a respected educator, administrator and acclaimed textbook author in his native country of South Korea. He came to America in the late 1960s to work at the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C., and returned to South Korea in 1981 with two post-graduate degrees from Indiana University.
Auh served as the assistant information attaché at the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C., from 1966 to 1970, shortly after earning his bachelor’s degree in international relations from Seoul National University. He was accepted to IU’s journalism graduate program in 1970, earning his master’s in journalism in 1973 and his doctorate in mass communication in 1977.
With degrees in hand, Auh became an assistant professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, where he remained until 1979. In 1981, he returned to South Korea and began his 25-year stay at the Korea University School of Media and Communications. During this time, he held several positions, including professor and dean of graduate studies.
Over the years, Auh has been involved with communications on a national level in South Korea. He has served as a committee chair for the Korean Communications Commission and the chair of the License Renewal Review Committee for Four General Cable-TV in Korea. Auh has been president of both the Korea Cyber Communication Research Society and the Korea Society for Journalism and Communication Studies.
In 2011, the Korean government awarded Auh the Order of Industrial Service Merit Bronze Tower for his role as the chair of the Media Diversity Committee. In this position, Auh contributed to the growth of the media industry in Korea while protecting diversity of opinion across all media platforms.
In addition to offering his expertise in mass communications as an educator and administrator, Auh has shared his knowledge through publications. He has authored and edited five textbooks used at universities across Korea, and he served as editor of the journal Asian Communication Research from 2004-06.
Auh’s research and instruction focus on political communications, theories of cyber communication and research methods. He has written studies about fact checking political statements, how language barriers affect cyber communication and Korean perceptions of the United States.
Auh returned to Indiana University in 1991 as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, and again in 2006 as a visiting professor at the School of Journalism. He is currently a professor emeritus at Korea University and a board member at the Seoul Broadcasting System Cultural Foundation.
