* shift --> 

* co-intelligence between humans and machines
* there is a lot of un-rawness to this data 

* repeat the model untill the model is true

- example: history of western classical music doesn't involve woman, a comment was: but i looked, there are no 
- example: alternative scientific truth searching methods --> work on (non) common sense valid truths

* [how]? [you]? [write]?

going to Knowledge Discovery in Data steps, by looking at Pattern


step 1 --> data collection
step 2 --> data preparation
step 3 --> data mining
step 4 --> interpretation
step 5 --> determine actions

annotating the presentation/

dealing with large amounts of data and triyng making senso of that

big data: the idea of looking at knowledge through categories
but its also raw data, which machine can 'read' through without thinking in relation to these categories (looking for truth)

the crudeness of the presented results: what does that mean? (gender differences in social medias)
what does it mean?

we wanto to look at:
    
- data collection (thier technological as well as social context)
- data preparation (look at the rough raw data and its next 'use')
- data mining (looking into mathematical models, graphs; the translation from linguistic models to mathematical clusters; looking at different projections, what are the differencies? the 'suitability' of the models in relation to the outcomes)
- 
- 

what we want to do:
- look in actual text mining programs, look and discuss what happens
- look at documentation on the collection/ing of this datas (exuses, apologies about the political/social problematics expressed in the 'truthfullness' of the mathematical results) - revealing subtleties
- the research on the data mining is very close to the text generation project


example:smilies-->not recognized as meaningful
meaningfulness of cleaning data (we know it is-like cleaning toilets- but we don't do it)
use facebook data to train next mining process - 'self-fulfilling prophecy' of common sense
data-mining->"the" step, but actually just a small part of the process 
mathematical model--->truth finding moment-->the machine performance
with enough time, with enough data...

compare first results with standard, most of the time human-produced data
e.g. libraries of positivity/negativity online

An article that poses questions and reflections on methodology applied in research. They obtain "valid cientific" results that have no common sense at all. The abstract is quite inspiring
