ESWC SS 2014 Student mini-projects

Fabian Flöck

The outcome

•  (Presentation about a) Demo software, applying Semantic Web technology to solve a concrete problem –  Creative idea generation and (best) a working prototype, focus is

not on the technical implementation

•  Focus on interesting and novel application •  Reuse tools, techniques and datasets,

integrate them

Example project •  Evolution of music genres in western music •  Popularity of artists by country over time

Ex. Project – Architecture

En#ty  linking  (String  and  property  matches)  

         Web  API/  Triplifica#on  

Server    Infrastructure  

Triplestore  and    SPARQL  endpoint  

 Visualiza#on  and  Web  API  

Less likely to succeed..

•  Group configuration •  Semantic matchmaking: not in closed

domains, e.g., travel recommendations… •  Rule-based XY à only with an engine •  Do not only use DBpedia (there are more!) •  Don’t build an ontology •  Crowdsourcing à yes, but why and how

The goals

•  Collaborate in a team with previously unknown researchers, making the most of each others (complementary) skills – Under (realistic) time pressure

•  Find common ground, articulate an idea •  Design tangible software/concept using LD,

exploring a research issue in some depth

Write a paper ?

The best practices

•  Manage your time wisely – Specific steps have to be finished at one point

•  Assign roles after the brainstorming stage – Esp. Friday, dedicate 2 persons to slides

•  It is also about marketing •  Balance between boldness and

compromise

The groups

•  Find your own group of 4 people (8x4pp, 1x3pp à 9 groups total)

•  Try to assemble by common interest / idea •  Rule: No people from the same institution

or close current/former collaborators •  As diverse as possible •  Ex-post adjustments, where necessary!

The timeline // Tue Wed

•  Find your group until the end of the poster session tonight & find a name à Tell Fabian

•  Give Fabian your topic (one-paragraph outline) before lunch on Wednesday and get assigned two tutors (primary and secondary) in the afternoon (floeck@kit.edu)

The timeline // Thu

•  On Thursday morning, get the final approval for your topic from your primary Tutor

•  On Thursday, tutors will be available the whole day at the pool

•  WORK

The timeline // Fri

•  For help, arrange meetings with Tutors •  Rehearse your presentation! •  Deadline for your presentation is on

Friday, 17:30 sharp (i.e., USB stick ready) •  Friday 17:31 – 19:59 à relax! •  Friday 20:00 à Dinner •  Friday ca. 22:30 – ?? à disco disco

The presentation

•  Saturday, 9:00 (a.m.) sharp: Presentations start

•  Order of presentations undisclosed •  At least one presenter, whole group attends •  10 min (=10 min) à Focus on core ideas – NO laptop swapping

•  Project is judged on: Presentation, innovativeness/creativity, real-world-applicability

•  Winner gets a price! Yay!
