Wojciech thanks for your inputs. I hope the rest of you on this list will also provide some inputs to help Rebecca put something together for the icommons annual.

One of the things I've been helping with at IBM Research is how we can use diverse (and often freely available) data sets to train our machine learning models to categorize data that the models haven't been exposed to before. A simple overview: get data of labeled movie reviews from a free and open data set, and train it to decide where a comment is "positive" or "negative" about a certain topic. Then apply the model to a discussion on a software brand and see if we can improve the model by using completely different data sets. How does this relate to CC? Well, there's a great deal of freely available data out there, and we can use it to build these models. Usually it's not as simple as the two steps above, but the challenge of using a large collection of diverse data sets to improve work in a specific field is interesting, and can definitely be helped through mathematical / algorithmic research as well as groups like CC and iCommons. If you want more information or more specific quotes, do let me know.
Thanks, Wojciech

(a) what you understand under commons research
(b) what you expect from (or what excites you about) the upcoming commons research workshop
You can post your thoughts on this list, bearing in mind that we will take some of the quotes and include them in the iCommons Annual book.

I'm gathering content for the iCommons Annual for the summit, and am looking for stories about the Commons Research track. If any of you are interested in contributing, please give me a shout... Best Rebecca Hi Giorgos
I'm busy compiling and editing the iCommons Annual at the moment
( it's going to be slightly different from the Annual we
distributed in Dubrovnik, with much more focus on the iSummit
itself) and I was wondering if you'd be interested in writing a
piece for the Annual about the Research track?
We're keeping the articles very short - about 500 words, so it's
not a lot of writing to do, but I think people should know a bit
about the different process and plans for the track, since it's
so unique.
If you are interested, then it would be great to have a piece
that explains the peer review process that you went through in
planning the track and deciding on the speakers and papers that
were to be presented.
Also, I thought it would be interesting to include a list of
online resources that people who are interested in this kind
research can turn to in order to learn a little more - a sort of
online reading list, so to speak. Are their journals and
publications online that we can direct people to for this kind of
reading?
Also, if there is any other information that you think people who
are interested in research on the Commons should be familiar
with - perhaps some of the terminology and phrases that may be
unfamiliar to people who are not directly engaged with this
research? Or a short timeline of the development of this research?
Does this sound like something you might be interested in
writing? Or, if not, do you know of anyone else involved in the
track who might be interested in writing for the annual?
Let me know if you're keen (or if you know of anybody else who
might be) and we can look at timing and deadlines after that.
All the best
Rebecca
