Super pleased to announce that we are kicking off a project to explore ways to uplift and improve the quality of metadata in the social and population sciences using machine learning. The project website is at metadata-automation.org and we'll be tweeting from here.

Congratulations to my PhD student Zeqiang Wang & @yuqiw_ for their work on #longitudinal semantic shifts getting accepted @emnlpmeeting Findings. Co-supervised w/ WeiWang, @nishanthsastry & @spuddybike @CLOSER_UK.

🆕Standardised scales (SS) added to Discovery, our research tool for longitudinal population studies!
This update will make it easier to determine if questions belong to a SS & identify where they are used across our studies & waves of data collection.

Excited to kick-off our #METACURATEML project, with @CLOSER_UK @ucl, @UKDataService & @ScotCen to generate #ML-driven #metadata and #data solutions which are #FAIR ready, using #GrowingupinScotland study as a pilot dataset. Grateful for funding from @ESRC #FutureDataService.
But if the advance from chatbots to ChatGPT is in automating the answers, can we automate the questions as well? Can we automate the prompt engineering?
Excellent points on creativity, enquiry and why it ain’t intelligence

Our final report of the @DiRAC_HPC funded Activity on 'Understanding the multiple dimensions of prediction of concepts in social and biomedical science questionnaires', jointly led by @spuddybike, is now out in dirac.ac.uk/wp-content/uploa…
@MetadataUplift
Our first paper on metadata uplift using machine learning is out in @iassistdata doi.org/10.29173/iq1023 led by @supde. Funded by @ESRC and @DiRAC_HPC.
We used @CLOSER_UK Discovery as our training data to develop an ML agnostic pipeline to explore different models and approaches.

Encouraging feedback from the DDI-L community on our @ESRC funded ML pipeline approach for data extraction from longitudinal questionnaires. See slides from the talk here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.57429…

DDI-CDI is a @DDIAlliance candidate standard that is aimed at allowing cross domain integration. The paper raises some useful ways in which standards can work together for machine actionable data management
Interested in metadata and #FAIRData? Check this out!
A report that explores the challenges faced by #EOSC& discusses a number of use cases/examples of the role that DDI-CDI can play.

7 years worth of Twitter data was analysed to understand how the meaning of hundreds of emoji have changed and developed since 2012. Previously, this kind of analysis has been restricted to words. Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2105.00846

The second is looking at auto-tagging questions and measurements to established vocabularies - we are using ELSST from @CESSDA_Data as our starting point.
