SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: Information Seeking Is Much More Than Searching with Alan Smeaton\, Professor of Computing at the Dublin City University
DESCRIPTION:Alan Smeaton\, a Professor of Computing at the Dublin City University\, will give a seminar on January 10th.  \nTITLE: Information seeking is much more than searching \nWHEN: 10 Januar\, 15:15-16:15 \nWHERE: MediaFutures & Zoom: \nLink:  https://uib.zoom.us/j/69616776839?pwd=QWlRSWk1M2RQb0JYUkk1YzkzYmxFQT09 \nMeeting ID: 696 1677 6839 \nPassword: Dqf1HzTr \nABSTRACT: \n\nInformation seeking is an essential\, daily activity that billions of us pursue as part of our work and leisure activities. Information seeking is a journey\, a conversation between a searcher and an information repository which can have many final destinations\, or none.  Searching is one component of information seeking and search or more broadly information retrieval\, in its early years has had a focus on known item search or searching around a broad topic. This has been supported and nurtured by our benchmarking activities like TREC\, TRECVid\, CLEF\, FIRE and others and the systems we have developed and that we use in our essential daily information seeking activities reflect this.  In this presentation I reflect on the broader information seeing landscape and on how a twist of good (or bad) timing\, has left us with the search tools we use but which do not necessarily deliver the best support for our information seeking.   This broader perspective will then allow us to contextualise the roles that various forms of media search can play in our information seeking journeys. Towards the end of the talk I will cover generative media where instead of searching for media\, we create it. \nBIO: \nAlan Smeaton is Professor of Computing at Dublin City University where he has previously been Head of School and Dean of Faculty. He is an IEEE Fellow\, Principal Fellow of Advance HE and an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy. He is the 2022 winner of the ACM SIGMM Technical Achievement Award for contributions to multimedia computing. Alan’s interests are in human memory and how we forget and remember some things and not others and this involves the use of machine learning and data analytics\, and the applications of text\, image\, and video analysis in areas like learning analytics\, personal sensing\, and lifelogging.

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: Designing for Collaborative Video Editing with Pavel Okopnyi\, PhD Candidate at the University of Bergen
DESCRIPTION:Pavel Okopnyi\, a PhD Candidate at the University of Bergen\, will give a seminar on January 18th.  \nTITLE: Designing for Collaborative Video Editing \nWHEN: 18 Januar\, 14:15 – 15:15 \nWHERE: MediaFutures & Zoom: \nhttps://uib.zoom.us/j/69273144707?pwd=cFdCKzlwZ0h6YXd6MVdTTmFZeWNvdz09 \nMeeting ID: 692 7314 4707\nPassword: daKA5X52\n \nABSTRACT: \n\nThe seminar will explore the design space of collaborative video editing through a series of design workshops with video editors. Collaborative video editing can be supported by adding awareness features or other well-known collaborative features found in existing software and introducing new features designed specifically for video editing software. We identify different design concepts that illustrate how such collaborative features can be included in non-linear video editing software and discusses the challenges of introducing such features. Some design concepts are explicitly inspired by existing collaborative tools. However\, we suggest that introducing such features might not be straightforward. In other cases\, alternative abstract representations of time-based media might be necessary to support collaborative video editing. \nBIO: \nPavel Okopnyi is a PhD Candidate at the University of Bergen. His PhD thesis is focused on collaborative aspects of video production workflows. He has master’s degrees in Sociology and Human-Computer Interaction. Pavel’s interests include media production tools\, education\, software engineering\, and video games.

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: Public expectations of transparency and accountability in citizens’ councils on data-driven media personalisation: Findings and methodological reflections with Ranjana Das\, Professor at the University of Surrey
DESCRIPTION:Ranjana Das\, Professor at the University of Surrey and currently visiting Erasmus fellow at the University of Bergen\, will give a seminar on January 26th. \nTITLE: Public expectations of transparency and accountability in citizens’ councils on data-driven media personalisation: Findings and methodological reflections \nWHEN: 26 Januar\, 12:00 – 13:00 \nWHERE: MediaFutures \nABSTRACT: \n\nThis talk presents findings and reflections across a set of three journal papers which emerged from a rigorous\, three-wave series of qualitative research into public expectations of data-driven media technologies\, conducted across locations in England\, by a team bringing together sociology\, engineering and media practice. Located within the contexts of the AI4ME project\, through a range of carefully chosen scenarios and deliberations around the risks and benefits afforded by data-driven media personalisation technologies\, we paid close attention to citizens’ voices\, as our multi-disciplinary team sought to engage the public on what ‘good’ might look like in the context of media personalisation. We paid particular attention to risks and opportunities\, examining practical use-cases and scenarios\, and our three-wave councils culminated in citizens producing recommendations for practice and policy. In this talk\, I will focus on citizens’ ethical assessment\, critique and improvements proposed on media personalisation methods in relation to benefits\, fairness\, safety\, transparency and accountability\, particularly within the broader contexts of their expectations around algorithms and algorithmic systems. I will conclude with some reflections on our citizens council methodology\, particularly the use of “vignettes” as scenarios as a method of data collection in user-centric algorithm studies\, in terms of their potential in inviting users’ contextual experiences of algorithms but also enabling more normative reflections on what “good” looks like in contemporary datafied societies. \nNote: The talk draws upon three journal papers from the team under review currently\, and results presented should not be circulated further. \nBIO: \nRanjana Das is Professor in Media and Communication\, in the Department of Sociology\, at the University of Surrey. Her research interests span families\, parenting and parenthood\, mental health\, digital technologies and media audiences and users. Her upcoming book Anticipating algorithms: Algorithmic literacies of datafied parenthood will be published by Rowman & Littlefield. Link to project website: https://ai4me.surrey.ac.uk/  \nMore information on the speaker: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/people/ranjana-das \n  \nThe seminar is arranged by WP1 Understanding media experiences in SFI MediaFutures. At the seminar we will serve a light lunch on a first come first served-basis.
