From:Miller, David [mailto:dmiller@post03.curry.edu] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 8:05 PM To: alaworld(a)ala.org; ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr Subject: [IFLA-L] ALCTS 2013 Online Course Grant for Library Professionals from Developing Countries Dear colleagues, The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association, is now accepting grant applications for the ALCTS online Fundamentals courses, for course sections beginning between February 25 and September 9, 2013. One free seat per section is available to librarians and information professionals from developing countries. For full information about the grant, including criteria and a link to the application form, please see: http://www.ala.org/alcts/awards/grants/onlinegrant . Applications may be submitted between November 26 and December 30, 2012. Fundamentals of Acquisitions Session 1: March 11 – April 5 Session 2: May 6 – May 31 Session 3: August 19 – September 13 The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial management of library collections budgets, and relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. Fundamentals of Collection Assessment Session 1: February 25 – April 5 Session 2: April 29 – June 7 Session 3: July 29 – September 6 This six-week online course introduces the fundamental aspects of collection assessment in libraries. The course is designed for those who are responsible for or interested in collection assessment in all types and sizes of libraries. The course will introduce key concepts in collection assessment including the definition of collection assessment, techniques and tools, assessment of print and electronic collections, and project design and management. Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions Session 1: February 25 – March 22 Session 2: April 15 – May 10 Session 3: July 29 – August 23 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources. It will provide a basic background in electronic resource acquisitions including product trials, licensing, purchasing methods, and pricing models and will provide an overview of the sometimes complex relationships between vendors, publishers, platform providers, and libraries. This course is sponsored by Harrassowitz. Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management Session 1: March 4 – March 29 Session 2: April 29 – May 24 Session 3: August 5 – August 30 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries. Components include complete definition of collection development and collection management; collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (e.g., making decisions after materials are selected, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis—why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and suggestions about the future for collection development and management. Fundamentals of Preservation Session 1: March 25 – April 19 Session 2: May 13 – June 7 Session 3: September 9 – October 4 The Fundamentals of Preservation introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives. The course is designed to inform all staff, across divisions and departments and at all levels of responsibility. It provides tools to begin extending the useful life of library collections. Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications.

Sudent's Seminar at DRTC

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore-560059 DRTC Seminar 2012-13 Pattern Recognition with Semi-Supervised Learning Algorithm Pattern Recognition principles makes the machines to take decision, just like human beings to sense the environment and take action according to what they observe. Taking decision for a given input based on the prior knowledge is the basis of a pattern recognition process. For example, to decide the category of a mail, such as spam or non-spam based on its contents. Pattern recognition is performed with three basic learning methodologies, such as supervised, unsupervised and Semi-Supervised. Supervised learning is the task of inferring a function from a labeled data consisting of a set of examples. A supervised learning algorithm analyzes the training data and produces an inferred function, which is called a classifier (if the o/p is discrete) or a regression function (if o/p is continuous). Unsupervised learning refers to the problem of trying to find hidden structure in unlabeled data. Semi-Supervised learning is a combination of supervised and unsupervised notions and in recent past, it has gained its momentum in the decision-making process. Supervised learning algorithms require enough labeled training data to learn reasonably accurate classifiers. Unsupervised learning methods are employed to discover structure in unlabeled data. Semi-supervised learning allows taking advantage of the strengths of both. The goal of semi-supervised learning is to understand how combining labeled and unlabeled data may change the learning behavior, and design algorithms that take advantage of such a combination. Many machine-learning algorithms have been designed, which revealed that using unlabeled data in combination with a small amount of labeled data could produce considerable improvement in learning accuracy. The acquisition of labeled data for a learning problem often requires a skilled human agent (e.g. to translate a medical observation) or a physical experiment (e.g. determining the 3D structure of a protein or determining whether there is oil at a particular location). In many practical learning domains, there is a large supply of unlabeled data but limited labeled data, which can be expensive to generate, e.g., text processing, video-indexing, bioinformatics. In such situations, semi-supervised learning can be of great practical value. Semi-supervised learning is also of theoretical interest in machine learning and as a model for human learning because it works with both labeled and unlabeled data set.
