Summary:
A member of the Fort Wayne neighborhood association where a new group home was going in telephoned Steve Hinkle. "'You know,' he said, 'just three houses down the road, there's a Cadillac that sits in a driveway.' And I said 'Well, I think that's really important because I've got a new van that's going be sitting there and I don't want it to be a sloppy neighborhood.'" Starting in 1976, Steve was instrumental in placing former residents of Fort Wayne State Developmental Center into some of Indiana's first group homes. Steve was President/CEO of Easter Seals Arc of Northeast Indiana for 34 years. In this video excerpt of a 2012 interview, he describes early group home development as both an exciting time of transition and a struggle with barriers such as zoning regulations and neighbor attitudes.

565. Subjectivity in Sentiment Analysis: Addressing Bias in Word Lists (50:51)

Summary:
Since the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, the first 100 days of an administration has been used as a measuring stick to estimate the ability of a new president to govern. This is still true today. The first 100 days of the Trump administration invoked strong sentiment both for and against his policies. However, was the sentiment generally positive or negative or neutral? Using different sentiment analysis algorithms and Trump’s favorite social media platform, Twitter, we scraped over 181,000 English language tweets between January 20th, 2017 and April 29th, 2017 to get an idea of Twitter user sentiment regarding the new Commander-in-Chief during his first 100 days. While our results reveal an interesting snapshot of the heightened emotions of the first 100 days of this presidency, they also raised some concerns regarding the bias inherent in the sentiment analysis process. More specifically, in the different dictionaries used to determine which words are “positive” and which words are “negative" issues of bias regarding race, gender, sexuality, and religion emerge. Therefore, it's important to "look underneath the hood," even when using a vetted dictionary, to examine the assumptions made, tweak the dictionary, and make transparent any assumptions left in the lexicon. We have parsed a further 16K tweets from the weekend of the Charlottesville protests to show what happens both before and after dictionary is tailored to an event focused on issues that are source of bias.

Summary:
"When I started in 1977, when people were admitted they brought with them what was called their death bag." The bag contained the clothing that residents of New Castle State Hospital were to be buried in. Sue Beecher recalls her employment at the institution in New Castle, Indiana for people with seizure disorders. Sue went on to work for Indiana's newly established Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS) and Indiana Protection & Advocacy (IPAS), where she retired prior to this 2013 interview. (IPAS has since changed its name to Indiana Disability Rights.) Sue talks about the New Castle procedures that patients underwent without consent, and the restraints and aversive measures that were used to control their behaviors. Years later, as an IPAS representative on Muscatatuck State Developmental Center's Human Rights Committee, she again witnessed violations of residents' rights. It was the late 1990s, prior to Muscatatuck's closure. "You cannot walk onto a unit and see visible injuries on 12 or 14 people that weren't there the week before and not suspect something is terribly wrong there. And these folks were non-verbal, so they're not going to be able to tell." As IPAS' work expanded via federal grants, Sue was instrumental in getting the traumatic brain injury and PABSS (Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security) programs up and running. She relates her satisfaction in those accomplishments and her pride in this independent state agency charged with protecting the rights of Hoosiers with disabilities. "In Indiana, we've gone ahead and sued when we needed to, we've never backed down." In 2011, Sue received the Terry Whiteman Award for her work at IPAS. Sue also discusses the development of group homes and the intensive effort to open new group homes between 1989 and 1991 while she directed the Indianapolis BDDS office.
