Conference Scan: Rising and Falling Terms - Conference Proceedings from ICALT, CAL, ECTEL and ICWL 2010

This is an un-interpreted and automatically-generated report on emerging, rising and falling terms from the abstracts of the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, International Conference on Web-based Learning and Computer Assisted Learning Conference. It is one part of the "Weak Signals Analysis" work of the TEL-Map Project. The same analytical method is also applied to blogs, hence the term "document" is used in plots; this may be equated to an abstract in this report.

All plots will open in a new window/tab as 1000x1000 pixel images if clicked on.

The Method

The analysis involves the application of text mining to the abstracts of the conference proceedings. The set of abstracts from the target year (2010) is contrasted against a set from the previous 4 years. Pearson's "Chi Squared" test is applied to determine the probability that the frequency of terms in both of these two samples could be from the same hypothetical distribution. The probability that the difference in term frequency could be ascribed to chance - assuming this hypothesis is true - must be less than 0.5% for a term to be presented in this report. This is referred to as the "significance threshold" below.

Further informaton about the text mining process being used is available elsewhere but for the purpose of interpretation it should be noted that "stemming" and "stop-word" removal has been used. "Stop-word" removal means that common words are removed before beginning the analysis. "Stemming" involves the conversion of similar words that differ only by their ending into a truncated form that is used as the "term" in the analysis. For the purpose of readability the shortest word that produces the term is generally given, although sometimes the algorithm fails and the stemmed version is shown. This should be born in mind when examining the results.

Four views on the differences between the target and previous years' abstracts are presented:

For Rising, Established and Falling Terms, the % change is calculated on the proportion of all stemmed words that are the term in question. For example if 2.00% of stemmed words in the previous years set was "learn" and 2.12% pertains to the current set, then the rise is 6%.

Summary Statistics and Overall Pattern

Corpus Statistics

There are 328 abstracts in 2010 and 1635 in the 4 previous years. Within these abstracts, which define the corpus, there are 6411 distinct terms after removing stop words and applying stemming. The summary statistics for the number of times each term appears in the corpus are: mean=17.24, median=2, maximum=4186.

For the set of New Terms:

For the set of Rising Terms: The set of Falling Terms (the % fall from the previous years to the target year) before applying the singificance test has summary statistics of: mean=-88.93, median=-100, maximum=-0.07899.

New Terms

New Term Frequencies
Figure 1: The number of terms that appear 1,2,3... times in the target year set not at all in the previous years. In this case there are 6 new terms that appear 4 times. NB: the low end is suppressed due to the requirement that terms appear in at lest 2 documents.

Rising and Falling Terms

Rising Term Distribution
Figure 2: Number of terms with a given % rise before applying the significance test.
Falling Term Distribution
Figure 3: Number of terms with a given % fall before filtering out those terms that do not meet the criterion of the significance test. A 100% fall indicates that the term does not appear in the target year's abstracts.

Auxillary Measures of Interest

In addition to the primary measures of interest - statistical significance and the percentage change - two more are calculated as an aid to judging the actual, as opposed to statistical, significance of differences between the previous years abstracts and the target-year set. The auxillary measures apply to the abstracts and are:

Absolute Novelty
Figure 4: Distribution of novelty measure among abstracts.
Novelty= 1 - the maximum similarity (specifically the cosine similarity) between the abstract and any other abstract in the corpus.
Standardised Novelty
Figure 5: Distribution of standardised novelty measure among abstracts.
An abstract with median novelty will have a standardised novelty of 0 and a unique abstract a value of 1. Negative values indicate an abstract that has a closer "neighbour" than the median.

Since conference abstracts are quite short, hence contain few terms after stopword removal, and the corpus size is modest, the Novelty Measure is typically skewed towards a high value. In this case it is not realistic to identity truely novel abstracts, whereas a high negative value for the Standardised Novely is a reasonalble indicator of similarity.

The papers containing the highest novelty scores are listed below.

Positive and Negative Sentiment and Subjectivity Score
Figure 6: Comparative distribution of positive and negative sentiment and subjectivity acore among abstracts.
The central box has a range defined by the 1st and 3rd quartiles and the limits of the "whiskers" are no more than 1.5x the interquartile range away from the box. Abstracts outside the range of the whiskers are individually plotted as circles and are deemed to be "outliers". The central bar indicates the median and the cross indicates the mean.
Abstracts with Highest Subjectivity Score
Figure 7: Balance of sentiment among the 10% most-subjective abstracts.

The papers containing the highest subjectivity scores are listed below.

Significant New Terms

Significant New Terms appear for the first time in at least 2 different abstracts in the target year of 2010 and meet the 0.5% "significance threshold".

New Terms: Document Occurrence
Figure 10: The number of abstracts containing each New Term. A New Term that appears in a large number of abstracts is likely to be a stronger indication of a new trend that a New Term that is concentrated in a single abstract.
Heatmap of Nearly-New Terms: Document Occurrence
Figure 11: Heatmap to show the distribution of the New Terms among abstracts. Red cells indicate the term does not appear. Orange cells indicate a relatively less-frequent term and yellow cells indicate terms that are relatively more frequent among the New Terms in a given document. This also shows how terms may be clustered according to their occurrence and how abstracts may be clustered according to the Terms within them. The numbers are the identifiers assigned to each paper.

Note: In plots such as the above, where terms are shown they will usually be a short word but may occasionally be truncated or have an unusual ending. This is a consequence of the stemming process, where related words are rendered into a single form that is used in the processing. The word that actually occurs in a given abstract may be one of the related forms. The unusual endings occur when the reverse-lookup algorithm fails. It should also be noted that punctuation is removed so hyphenated forms become concatenated. An unfamiliar term may be an abbreviation or project/product acronym.

New Terms: Spread of Novelty Score
Figure 12: Spread of standardised novelty among abstracts containing each New Term.
New Terms: Spread of Subjectivity Score
Figure 13: Spread of subjectivity score among abstracts containing each New Term.

Note: care should be exercised in interpreting these two plots since the number of abstracts containing each term is very small.

The papers containing the significant new terms are listed below.

Significant Rising Terms

Significant Rising Terms are those that meet the significance threshold criterion and appear in at least 2 different abstracts from 2010 but have an average frequency of less than 0.02% (the "Established Term" threshold) in the previous years set.

Correlation Between New and Rising Terms

This shows how significant terms from either the "New" and "Rising" sets appear together in abstracts. The visualisation is created using Gephi (v0.8 alpha). Using Gephi provides for good interactivity; the RisingTerm-Co-occurrence.gephi file can be downloaded and used in Gephi.

Term Co-occurrence Graph
Figure 23: Graph of Co-occurrence of New and Rising Terms.
Interpreting the graph: terms are colour coded according to clustering aparrent in the results; the nodes are scaled according to the statistical significance; the lines joining the nodes are scaled according to the number of co-occurrences.

The papers containing the significant rising terms are listed below.

Significant Established Terms

These are terms with a statistically-significant increase but with a freqency of 0.02% or more on average in the years prior to 2010 and hence are considered to be established upwards trends rather than indicators of a possible weak signal. Since this report is primarily concerned with Weak Signal detection, relatively little emphasis is given to Established Terms.
