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.
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.
Featured talk by Anurag Acharya, Distinguished Engineer, Google, at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana.
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.

Joseph Angotti’s career took him from student news director of Indiana University’s WFIU newscast to senior vice president for news at NBC and the chairmanship of the broadcast program at Northwestern University.
Born a bakery manager’s son in Gary, Indiana, Angotti received his undergraduate degree in education from IU in 1961. He had taken a few journalism courses as an undergraduate, and he cultivated his interest in journalism further by earning his master’s degree in telecommunications at IU.
In 1962, Angotti landed his first job in television at WHAS-TV in Louisville. From that point on, his rise in the industry was rapid. In 1966, he moved to WMAQ-TV, Chicago’s NBC-owned affiliate, where he was both producer and on-air reporter for its Gary bureau. In 1968, he became an NBC network producer, covering the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he was tear-gassed during the street protests.
In 1972, Angotti was promoted to a producer slot in New York City with NBC Nightly News. He soon became executive producer of the weekend newscast with anchor Tom Brokaw. Angotti was awarded a national Emmy in 1975 for co-producing a series about world hunger and was chief political producer for the network’s election coverage in 1976. Working with John Chancellor, anchor of the weeknight NBC Nightly News, Angotti was the newscast’s executive producer from 1977 to 1980.
Angotti later was named the senior vice president for news at NBC, overseeing coverage of presidential conventions and debates, space shuttle launches and landings, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In June 1989, Angotti was in Bloomington for IU professor Richard Yoakam’s retirement party, but had to rush off to return to New York to oversee NBC’s coverage of the massacre in Tiananmen Square. He was an early protégé of Yoakam, who had developed and launched IU’s broadcast journalism program.
In 1992, Angotti left NBC and formed his own company, which produced coverage of events such as the 25th Anniversary Gala of the Metropolitan Opera. He also wrote, filmed and edited a series of programs in Eastern Europe, From Marx to Markets, which were filmed, edited and broadcast in Eastern Europe.
Next, Angotti took his knowledge to the classroom. From 1993 to1998, he was the chair of communication studies for the University of Miami’s School of Communication and was founding director of its Center for Advancement of Modern Media.
In 1999, Angotti was named chair of the broadcast program at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism and taught there for the following six years. He also founded the Northwestern News Network, which produced weekly newscasts for Chicago area TV stations. He continues to teach journalism at Monmouth College in Illinois. In 2006, he was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.
Over the course of the 20th century, scholars took up categories of knowledge constructed through classification work done in the library and archive, but methods of analytical bibliography were never well integrated into the academy. As scholars increasingly read and work with digitized texts, however, there is renewed and critical need for bibliographical skills in order to understand how texts have changed over time, especially vis-à-vis their material form. In addition to making a case for bibliography as an essential skill for the modern humanities scholar, I will describe my recent work on creating a TEI bibliography of Isaac Newton's alchemical sources. This project, part of "The Chymistry of Isaac Newton" seeks to reconstruct a comprehensive list of the hundreds of alchemical texts that Newton read and employed from over 5000 fragmentary citations in his manuscripts. Because Newton was a lifelong and extensive alchemical reader, reconstructing a bibliography based on his annotations provides an ideal test case for how alchemical texts were studied in the seventeenth century. As such, this bibliography will be a substantial contribution to modern scholarship on Isaac Newton and the history of science more generally, underscoring the argument that bibliography has an important place in modern humanities scholarship.
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.
Congressman Blumenauer describes how the Go 19 movement grew from a groundswell of public opinion in Washington State, discusses in-state activism and the political climate of the time.
Brady, Erika, Kruesi, Margaret, Primiano, Leonard Norman
Summary:
Many years ago as a graduate student studying William Langland’s Vision of Piers Plowman, I came upon what was evidently a popular scatological riddle pertaining to a profound theological teaching. Since that time I have continued to ruminate over the role of humor—especially sexual and scatological humor—arising from within vernacular Catholicism. In this talk, I will consider the serious play of such forms of expression and their significance for folklorists concerned with the nature of belief in the sacred.

Generally, when we think of a digital collection or repository, we think of digital images, ebooks, audio and video files. But some important digital collections, such a bibliographies, don't have content per se but consist of metadata describing a physical object such as a book, a digital object such as an audio recording or an event such as an opera performance. Not surprisingly, this kind of "contentless" digital object is dependent on metadata to describe it. And while we have standards for bibliographic entries in books and articles, we need more complex metadata for digital bibliographic entries. For the past several months, the Library Technology Software Development group has been working on exactly how to represent these contentless digital objects in our Fedora digital repository using the Hydra based software development environment. Using The Televised Opera and Musical Comedy Database as a sample, we will discuss the work we have done to create a general bibliographic tool for the Fedora Digital Repository.

Behavioral scientists have been using the internet to conduct research for over two decades, but only recently has the scope of internet research begun to rival the traditional laboratory experiment. In this workshop, I will introduce you to the basics of online data collection and various tools for conducting online research, including jsPsych (http://www.jspsych.org), a programming library for conducting laboratory-like experiments online developed at Indiana University. I'll describe all the necessary components of running an online experiment, the features of jsPsych, and how to create a simple experiment using the jsPsych library.
I have been the principal investigator for an ongoing digital history project entitled ‰ÛÃGlobalization of the United States, 1789-1861.‰Û As a trained historian I have had a steep learning curve in turning my historical vision into digital reality. This learning curve has involved many more steps and levels than I ever imagined. Indeed, now that the foundational website for this project is nearing stability, the maintenance phase is immediately presenting new technical challenges.
This presentation is meant to walk through this learning curve from the perspective of a faculty scholar initiating and then overseeing a long-term digital history project. I shall start, necessarily, with the historical vision, digital ignorance, and management naivete I initially brought to the project. I shall then scrutinize each subsequent phase of the project: what had to be learned, what help was needed, what resources had to be marshaled, et cetera. We might ask ‰ÛÃhow was everything actually done each step of the way?‰Û but the important unavoidable fact is that I can only answer this question from a limited perspective.
I thus can represent one portion of a digital history project: the faculty scholar with heavy research and teaching responsibilities who contributes their mite to a collaboration where all participants have heavy responsibilities of their own. For my part, I had to learn how to translate historical research into a digital format; I had to learn arcane technical vocabularies; and I had to learn how to manage a network of necessarily part-time work.

R is a statistical package used by many digital textual analysts to explore aspects of styelometry. Here at IU, we have an instance of the popular Rstudio running on Karst to facilitate work on large corpora. However, it is often helpful to begin work with a small test set (sometimes even a single text) and scale up. The CyberDH group has put together code packages and annotated RNotebooks that are available on GitHub to serve as a friendly introduction to how the process of scaling up might work. This talk will step through the basics of these exercises and the visualizations that result.

Metadata standards at Indiana University are well-established for many of our digital library collections. These standards have been expressed, for the most part, using XML - it's easy to store, easy to read, easy to update, and easy to share. Newer forms of digital library technology, however, are expanding/enhancing the way that data is stored with and about digital objects, using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to construct relationships, descriptions, and digital objects that are more semantically connected to the web. This new way of standardizing metadata has presented many challenges: introducing a new model midway through projects, migrating content from older models to RDF models, and figuring out in general what it means to use an RDF model for digital library collections.
This talk will discuss what has happened in the IU digital libraries with RDF to-date and the challenges and opportunities from this work.
Archives Online (http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/collections/findingaids) is a portal for accessing descriptions of Special Collections and Archives - ones chiefly containing materials other than books - from libraries, archives, and other units at Indiana University Bloomington and from other institutions around the state of Indiana. Collection descriptions (also called finding aids) in Archives Online at IU are encoded according to the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) format. Since 2005 we have been publishing finding aids encoded in EAD2002 (http://www.loc.gov/ead/) using XML templates edited in the Oxygen XML Editor. IU currently hosts more than 1,000 finding aids online with over 35,000 digitized objects connected and viewable through these collection descriptions. This system has worked very well for us but there is an ever-increasing backlog of archival and special collections and potentially quicker ways to produce these encoded descriptions. Additionally, the Society of American Archivists officially adopted EAD3, the next version of the Encoded Archival Description metadata standard, as the new standard in July 2015. This new version of EAD provides new ways to encode archival description for increased sharing and access online. We'll discuss our investigations into quicker production of encoded collection descriptions as well as our plans for implementing EAD3 at Indiana University.
The Center for Biological Research Collections (CBRC) at Indiana University (http://www.indiana.edu/~cbrc/) is a consortium of research collections including botany, zooarchaeology, and paleontology collections. This group is digitizing biological specimens to make them available online for teaching and research. Some of these specimens will be digitized as 2-dimensional photographic images while others, particularly bone specimens, are being digitized in 3D to allow for manipulation and visualization in a standard web browser. The Libraries are teaming up with CBRC to help store these collections in a variety of file formats, along with accompanying metadata. The CBRC uses a pre-existing metadata management system called Specify (http://specifysoftware.org/) and we are working to bring the metadata in that system together with repository software we use (Hydra/Fedora) to ensure these digitized items can be archived and managed for the long-term, as well as made discoverable and accessible online. Join us to learn about this work, see some 3D content in action, and have some fun with science!

Some songs pertaining to the “música tropical” genre, or music exhibiting tropical rhythms from both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, feature Afro-mestizo protagonists in their lyrics. My study explores the imaginaries constructing the subjectivities of Afro-mestizo men and women and posits that these gender constructions are different between the two sexes. Men tend to be depicted more harshly than women. Both, however, are depicted in a stereotypical and racist manner. My study incorporates feminist and critical race theories as well as postcolonial theories in the analy- sis and hermeneutics of the representation of Afro-mestizos in the lyrics of these songs.
