The benefits of ideation for both industry and academia alike have been outlined by countless studies, leading to research into various approaches attempting to add new ideation methods or examine how the quality of the ideas and solutions created can be measured. Although AI-based approaches are being researched, there is no attempt to provide the ideation participants with information that inspire new ideas and solutions in real time. Our proposal presents a novel and intuitive approach that supports users in real time by providing them with relevant information as they conduct ideation. By analyzing their ideas within the respective ideation sessions, our approach recommends items of interest with high contextual similarity to the proposed ideas, allowing users to skim through, for example, publications and inspire new ideas quickly. The recommendations also evolve in real time. As more ideas are written during the ideation session, the recommendations become more precise. This real-time approach is instantiated with various ideation methods as a proof of concept, and various models are evaluated and compared to identify the best model for working with ideas.
In this paper, we present a new processing method, called MOSES—Impacts, for the detection of micrometer-sized damage on glass plate surfaces. It extends existing methods by a separation of damaged areas, called impacts, to support state-of-the-art recycling systems in optimizing their parameters. These recycling systems are used to repair process-related damages on glass plate surfaces, caused by accelerated material fragments, which arise during a laser–matter interaction in a vacuum. Due to a high number of impacts, the presented MOSES—Impacts algorithm focuses on the separation of connected impacts in two-dimensional images. This separation is crucial for the extraction of relevant features such as centers of gravity and radii of impacts, which are used as recycling parameters. The results show that the MOSES—Impacts algorithm effectively separates impacts, achieves a mean agreement with human users of (82.0 ± 2.0)%, and improves the recycling of glass plate surfaces by identifying around 7% of glass plate surface area as being not in need of repair compared to existing methods.
This experimental study investigates readers’ perceived text quality and trust towards journalistic opinion pieces written by the language model GPT-3. GPT-3 is capable of automatically writing texts in human language and is often referred to as an artificial intelligence (AI). In a 2x2x2 within- subjects experimental design, 192 participants were presented with two randomly selected articles each for evaluation. The articles were varied with regard to the variables actual source, declared source (in each case human-written or AI-written) and the topic (1 & 2). Prior to the experimental design, participants indicated the extent to which they agreed with various statements about the trustworthiness of AI in order to capture their personal attitudes towards the topic.
The study found for one, that readers considered articles written by GPT-3 to be just as good as those written by human journalists. The AI-generated versions were rated slightly better in terms of text quality as well as the trust placed in the content. However, the effect was not statistically significant. For another, no negative effect on article perception was found for texts disclosed as AI-written. Articles declared as written by an AI were mostly rated equally well or again minimally better than texts declared as human, especially regarding trust. Only the readability was rated slightly worse for the case of declaring the AI as a source. Furthermore, a correlation was found between the participants’ personal attitudes towards the topic of AI and their perception of allegedly AI-written articles. For articles declared as AI-written, there are slight to moderate positive correlations of the personal attitudes towards AI with each quality rating criterion. Personal preconception thus plays a role in the perception of AI-written articles.
Time series forecasting has been performed for decades in both science and industry. The forecasting models have evolved steadily over time. Statistical methods have been used for many years and were later complemented by neural network approaches. Currently, hybrid approaches are increasingly presented, aiming to combine both methods’ advantages. These hybrid forecasting methods could lead to more accurate predictions and enhance and improve visual analytics systems for making decisions or for supporting the decision-making process. In this work, we conducted a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology and investigated various hybrid forecasting approaches in detail. The exact procedure for searching and filtering and the databases in which we performed the search were documented and supplemented by a PRISMA flow chart. From a total of 1435 results, we included 21 works in this review through various filtering steps and exclusion criteria. We examined these works in detail and collected the quality of the prediction results. We summarized the error values in a table to investigate whether hybrid forecasting approaches deliver better results. We concluded that all investigated hybrid forecasting methods perform better than individual ones. Based on the results of the PRISMA study, the possible applications of hybrid prediction approaches in visual analytics systems for decision making are discussed and illustrated using an exemplary visualization.
Studies have shown that although having more information improves the quality of decision-making, information overload causes adverse effects on decision quality. Visual analytics and recommendation systems counter this adverse effect on decision-making. Accurately identifying relevant information can reduce the noise during exploration and improve decision-making. These countermeasures also help scientists make correct decisions during research. We present a novel and intuitive approach that supports real-time collaboration. In this paper, we instantiate our approach to scientific writing and propose a system that supports scientists. The proposed system analyzes text as it is being written and recommends similar publications based on the written text through similarity algorithms. By analyzing text as it is being written, it is possible to provide targeted real-time recommendations to improve decision-making during research by finding relevant publications that might not have been otherwise found in the initial research phase. This approach allows the recommendations to evolve throughout the writing process, as recommendations begin on a paragraph-based level and progress throughout the entire written text. This approach yields various possible use cases discussed in our work. Furthermore, the recommendations are presented in a visual analytics system to further improve scientists’ decision-making capabilities.
Ten years after the journal’s first publication, we are taking a closer look at the knowledge flows of the output of the journal Publications. We analyzed the papers, topics, their authors and countries to assess the development of scholarly communication within Publications. Our bibliometric analyses show the research journal’s community, where the knowledge of this community is coming from, where it is going, and how diverse the community is based on its internationality and multidisciplinarity. We compare these findings with the scopes and topical goals the journal specifies. We aim at informing the editors and editorial board about the journal’s development to advance the journal’s role in scholarly communication. The results show that regarding topical diversity and internationality, the journal has remarkably developed. Moreover, the journal tends towards the field of library and information science, but strengthens its multidisciplinary status via its topics and author backgrounds.
Machine intelligence, a.k.a. artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most prominent and relevant technologies today. It is in everyday use in the form of AI applications and has a strong impact on society. This article presents selected results of the 2020 Dagstuhl workshop on applied machine intelligence. Selected AI applications in various domains, namely culture, education, and industrial manufacturing are presented. Current trends, best practices, and recommendations regarding AI methodology and technology are explained. The focus is on ontologies (knowledge-based AI) and machine learning.
The awareness of emerging trends is essential for strategic decision making because technological trends can affect a firm’s competitiveness and market position. The rise of artificial intelligence methods allows gathering new insights and may support these decision-making processes. However, it is essential to keep the human in the loop of these complex analytical tasks, which, often lack an appropriate interaction design. Including special interactive designs for technology and innovation management is therefore essential for successfully analyzing emerging trends and using this information for strategic decision making. A combination of information visualization, trend mining and interaction design can support human users to explore, detect, and identify such trends. This paper enhances and extends a previously published first approach for integrating, enriching, mining, analyzing, identifying, and visualizing emerging trends for technology and innovation management. We introduce a novel interaction design by investigating the main ideas from technology and innovation management and enable a more appropriate interaction approach for technology foresight and innovation detection.
