3. Willow Work: Viki Graber, Basketmaker (07:50)

Date:
2015-08-18
Summary:
Folklorist Jon Kay made this short documentary for the exhibition, "Willow Work: Viki Graber, Basketmaker." The exhibit explored the work of Viki Graber a willow basketmaker from Goshen, Indiana. Viki learned willow basket weaving at the age of twelve from her father, who was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as a 2009 National Heritage Fellow. Where once her family plied their talents to make utilitarian workbaskets, Viki makes baskets for collectors and to sell at art shows and galleries. While using the same tools and methods as her great-grandfather, Viki's keen sense of color and innovative designs have elevated her family's craft to a new aesthetic level. Sponsored by the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences as part of their Fall 2015 Themester @Work: The Nature of Labor on a Changing Planet, the exhibition and the video were on display at the museum from August 18 through December 20, 2015.

4. Social Media Mining with Natural Language Processing (1:52:18)

Summary:
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.

Main contributors:
Ahlhauser, John W.
Summary:
Indiana University Journalism Professor Emeritus John Ahlhauser drew on his award-winning professional experience during his 20 years in the classroom at his alma mater, where he had received his master’s in journalism in 1973 and a doctorate in 1978. As a photojournalist, Ahlhauser covered presidential inaugurations and the civil rights movement for his hometown paper, the Milwaukee Journal. He tackled an array of topics, from politics and religion to homes, furniture and fashion. But the paper also sent him on the road to document national events. Some of his notable assignments included the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the inaugurations of Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, the 1964 civil rights movements in Mississippi and unemployed coal miners in West Virginia. Ahlhauser supported the profession through his work with national organizations. He has held every office at the National Press Photographers Association, including a year as president from 1967 to 1968. Ahlhauser co-founded the Stan Kalish Picture Editing Workshop in 1990, serving as its chair for the next eight years. In retirement, he was president of the National Press Photographers Foundation. Ahlhauser has been honored for his work in both journalism and academia. In 1977, he received NPPA’s highest honor, the Joseph Sprague Award. The organization also presented him with its Robin Garland teaching award in 1981. An alumnus of Marquette University, Ahlhauser received the school’s ByLine award in 1985. In 1991, he was inducted into the Milwaukee Press Club’s Media Hall of Fame, and he has won service awards from the Wisconsin, Indiana and Kentucky news photographers associations. Ahlhauser retired to Milwaukee, where, in a continuation of his dedication to social justice, he volunteered with an outreach program for inmates in the Milwaukee County Jail. He visited every Monday night for seven years, until declining health prevented him from continuing.
