Today, me and Anders Hjalmarsson presented the paper “Is the Public Motivated to Engage in Open Data Innovation” at the IFIP EGOV conference at Trinity College in Dublin.

Today, DSV was visited by Inese Šūpulniece from Riga Technical University who presented her doctoral thesis on Personalization of business process execution in enterprise applications. The presentation was part of the international review process required for Latvian dissertations. The seminar revolved around usability of ERP systems, personalization of business processes and questions related to method and the choices made by Inese. The discussion was very fruitful to us at DSV, we will pick up some ideas in our ERP related courses, and we wish Inese all the best for the defense in October.

The eGov-workshop arranged by the AIS special interest group on e-government was held on 8th of June in Tel Aviv at the European Conference of Information Systems. We presented a paper titled:  What happens next? – A survey of the afterlife of innovation contests. The paper was presented by Anders Hjalmarsson, Viktoria ICT, Elea Juell-Skielse, DSV and Gustaf Juell-Skielse, DSV. Altogether there were 7 papers presented and 16 participants.

The Clinical Text Mining Group was very active at the EACL conference (14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics) in Göteborg, organising the Louhi 2014 workshop (as described in a previous blog post) and presenting four papers at other workshops. At the PITR workshop (The 3rd Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text Readability for Target Reader Populations), three papers were presented: ”EACL – Expansion of Abbreviations in CLinical text” by Lisa Tengstrand, Beáta Megyesi, Aron Henriksson, Martin Duneld and Maria Kvist, ”Improving Readability of Swedish Electronic Health Records through Lexical Simplification: First Results” by
Gintaré Grigonyté, Maria Kvist, Sumithra Velupillai and Mats Wirén, and finally ”Medical text simplification using synonym replacement: Adapting assessment of word difficulty to a compounding language” by Emil Abrahamsson, Timothy Forni, Maria Skeppstedt and Maria Kvist.

Emil Abrahamsson and Timothy Forni are former students at DSV and the paper was the result of their bachelor thesis. Also the paper by Tengstrand et al. was the result of a student thesis (a master thesis by Lisa Tengstrand at Uppsala University).

The forth paper was a research proposal at the student workshop, ”Enhancing Medical Named Entity Recognition with Features Derived from Unsupervised Methods” by Maria Skeppstedt.

There were many interesting presentations, at the workshops as well as at the main conference, for instance ”Learning Dictionaries for Named Entity Recognition using Minimal Supervision” by Arvind Neelakantan and Michael Collins.

The weather was perfect for having interesting discussions in the sun between the sessions and the social activities featured eating different kinds of fish that are hard to find in Stockholm.The Clinical Text Mining Group was very active at the EACL conference in Göteborg, organising the Louhi 2014 workshop (as described in a previous blog post) and presenting four papers at other workshops.
