Integrating Human & Machine Document Annotation for Sensemaking

Dr Simon Buckingham Shum
Simon Buckingham Shum, Ágnes Sándor, Anna De Liddo & Michelle Bachler
We report on progress made during the collaboration between KMi's Hypermedia Discourse Group and Ágnes Sándor (Xerox Research Centre Europe, Parsing & Semantics Group). This is the outcome of her 6 week OLnet Project Expert Fellowship at the OU, funded by the Hewlett Foundation, to develop Collective Intelligence for the Open Educational Resources (OER) community.
Our research investigates the overlaps and complementarities between the outputs from human analysts making sense of 120 OER project reports, using KMi's Cohere semantic annotation and knowledge mapping tool, and machine annotation of the corpus by the Xerox Incremental Parser (XIP). XIP's output is imported into Cohere to explore ways to visualize the combined human+machine output, and we present preliminary results from interviews with some of the analysts to elicit their views on XIP's annotations.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
