“Padrão do Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital Aberta (SBTVD-T), que garante a interatividade em TVs digitais com o selo DTVi, o middleware Ginga acaba de receber uma versão para Windows, Ginga4Windows, ampliando seu uso em ambientes de desenvolvimento e testes de aplicações NCL (Nested Context Language). Usuários podem realizar downloads de aplicações NCL (http://www.gingancl.org.br/pt-br/ferramentas) e interagir com essas aplicações de forma similar ao ambiente de TV. (…)”

In this talk, we discuss how micro-blogging activities on Twitter can be leveraged for user modeling and personalisation. We investigate this challenge and introduce a framework for user modeling on Twitter which enriches the semantics of Twitter messages (tweets) and identi es topics and entities (e.g. persons, events, products) mentioned in tweets. We analyse how strategies for constructing hashtag-based, entity-based or topic-based user profiles benefit from semantic enrichment and explore the temporal dynamics of those profiles. We further measure and compare the performance of the user modeling strategies in context of a personalised news recommendation system. Our results reveal how the different user modeling strategies impact personalization and discover that the consideration of temporal
profile patterns can improve recommendation quality. We also take a look at some applications that follow from this work, e.g. in the areas of crises management and culture-based adaptation. In the area of cultural differences we report on a study in which we analyse and compare user behaviour on two different microblogging platforms: (1) Sina Weibo which is the most popular microblogging service in China and (2) Twitter. We analyse more than 40 million microblogging activities and investigate microblogging behaviour from different angles. Our results reveal significant differences in the microblogging behaviour on Sina Weibo and Twitter and deliver valuable insights for multilingual and culture-aware user modelling based on microblogging data.

The extraction of structured information from text is a fast improving subfield of Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval which has been re-invigorated with the ever-increasing availability of user-generated textual content on the Web. One environment which stands out as a source of invaluable information is the blogosphere–-the network of social media sites, in which individuals express and discuss opinions, facts, events, and ideas pertaining to their lives, their community, profession, or society at large. Indeed, the automatic extraction of reliable information from the blogosphere promises a viable approach for discovering very rich social data. Considerable attention has been given to studying the social dynamics among the participants (i.e., authors) in shared environments like the blogosphere. In that line of work, the goal is to understand how the network of humans communicating in the blogosphere forms and evolves over time, and how it influences participants in the process. Our goal, on the other hand, is to extract the network of entities, facts, ideas and opinions expressed in social media sites, as well as the relationships among them. Such structured data can be organized as one or more information networks, which in turn are powerful metaphors for the study and visualization of the conversations in the blogosphere. In this talk, I will cover the work on extracting and linking entities and relations among entities in the context of our ongoing SONEX project, which is an open relation extraction system based on a combination of text clustering and other unsupervised methods. I will also cover a large-scale experimental evaluation of open relation extraction which reveals a lot of room for improvement in the area.
