Hi Matt,

Especially if performance is a continuous variable, your other variables
could be plugged into a regression analysis to see which, if any,
contribute to predicting performance. Even if performance is
non-continuous, such as if a system almost locks up, it would work.
Some predicting variables might require transformation (e.g., log,
or inversion) if the input is to a linear regression. A common analysis
is partial correlation to look at the contribution of individual 
variables when others have been accounted for. See the -p option
for my regression program:
 	http://www.acm.org/~perlman/stat/doc/regress.htm
Looking at plots of variables against performance might generate ideas.

For ongoing data collection, you might flag some variables if the
value exceeds, say, three standard deviations of the mean, or
falls into the 99th percentile.

I don't really have anything else to suggest.

There must be some people at UC Boulder who can help.

Good luck,

Gary Perlman

I was pleased to see that Stu Card got an award, but not pleased to see

That sounds fine. I am eager to get some GI stuff online.

Joel, my phone in Montreal is 514-482-4905 -- we have 10-digit phone numbers :-(
I live near downtown, so it's easy for me to meet in town.

In a previous message, I noted that I can read BibTex files directly in HCIBIB.
I have the GI archive file with BibTeX entries 1971-2002, without abstracts.
In 1987, CHI and GI were combined, so those are already in the HCIBIB.

On
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/
I see that GI 1996-2003 are avaialable in BibTex, and the abstracts and links to PDF.
It seems like those were generated from some database, and it would be nice to get
at that information.

I can not find GI in the ACM DL. That's still a frustrating search for me.
I finally used Google to find this page
 	http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=SERIES10714
with:
 	2006 http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=1143079
 	2005 http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=1089508
 	2004 http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=1006058

I propose:

1. I work on GI 2004-2006 with filters I have for the ACM DL
2. Joel investigates what data is available in what form for earlier years.

Perhaps it would be good for abstracts to be added to the GI BibTex archive,
and then I could pull the data from there. Otherwise, I could pull the basic
bibliographic data from the BibTeX archive and someone could copy+paste
the abstracts and links to PDF into fields used by HCIBIB. At the end of it
all, you'll have an archive of data that could be the source of other views.

I recently added EndNote and RefWorks export for HCIBIB. I get the impression
that BibTeX might be popular enough that it could be the next. Opinons?

Although it is not my goal to wipe out this page:
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/
it might be nice to be able to generate many of the pieces from the
HCIBIB.  Over time, it might be nice to get all the way back to
CMCCC'69, the same year IJMMS started.

'nuff said, I'm sure.

Sounds good. I'll wait to hear back from you.

I have just released GI 04-06. I would not mind getting a letter
on the copyright owner's stationary giving the HCI Bibliography permission.
Now that it's linked in, the conference appears on this page:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/confer.html
and which has links to tables of contents:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI04*
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI05*
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI06*
People can export those to EndNote or RefWorks, or view the abstracts:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI05.bib&abstracts=true
The authors are hotlinks into the HCIBIB.

I used the citation links for the records because I saw no doi links for any year.

I also suspect it's an ownership thing, but the corresponding doi link did work:
 	http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1089508.1089510
I think that ACM might have gone out of their way to hide the DOI link,
but did not go out of their way to validate (and block) the DOI resolution.

Note that 2004 does not have section headings. I could add those with a scan
of the TOC or some other representation.

FYI: now with three GI recs:

That's what I would like, permission from CHCCS to post the abstracted bib info.

No indexing of session chairs. (No interest, either. :-)

Assuming you want to have the info in the HCIBIB to promote attendance,
the sooner the better. Web crawlers from Google, Yahoo, and MSN are on
the site every day. I think you might also like to indicate in some way
that the conference has not yet happened. I suggest that each 2007 record
include a link to the conference home page, eventually to be replaced by
the citation page in the ACM DL.

I can convert the spreadsheet to HCIBIB format, but the abstracts would
be a big plus. With early reg ending in two days, it's too bad the
program was not online earlier.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for volunteering for this effort. It will produce a more useful
artifact than what's there now and will be used around the world. If you
feel some need for motivation, you can peek at the hcibib log analysis here:
 	http://hcibib.org/analog.cgi
Lots of pretty flags at the end.

My script for converting the GI archive to HCIBIB refer is here:
 	http://hcibib.org/Work/New/fixbibtex.txt
The archive I work with is here:
 	http://hcibib.org/Work/New/GI-all
The converted file is here:
 	http://hcibib.org/Work/New/GI.bib

I want to be careful that we get the right bib file before
you start adding links to PDF, abstacts, etc, because it
could well be a one-way conversion (your work may not
make it back into the BibTeX file). You might prefer to
add abstracts and links to the BibTeX file so others can
use it in that format, and THEN I'll convert the file to
import into the HCIBIB.

There are notes inside the perl script fixbibtex.txt.
Some fields are being ignored:
 	month - unused in hcibib, but we could tack it onto the end of the year
 	booktitle - these get added as a global operation later
 	location - will probably get filtered out of the hcibib records
 		except for records on the whole proceedings
 	inrpcoeedings - I am dropping the label, but we could store them somewhere
Diacritics are generally dropped in hcibib, but for now, I'm converting them
to html entities so they can be recovered.

For me, it would be easier if the abstracts and links were added to the BibTeX,
but I'll leave that up to you. You might try a few. I generally process one
year per file, so we can mix and match strategies.

Eventually, I will want the abstract in the %X field and the link in the %W
field. A note can follow the URL in the %W field. If there are keywords
(there was only one such field in GI-all), they can be added in %K fields.

The internal format for hcibib authors is
 	%A Gary Perlman
and as part of installation, author names get reversed to
 	%A Perlman, Gary

I have scripts for checking file and field syntax, spell checking, and for
adding repeating fields (copyright, book name) to records, so I can give you
feedback on any work you do a few minutes after it's sent to me.
I think that doing one or two years might be a good way to start.
I'll tell you what data I need for the conference -- ISBN, editors, place:
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/dates.html
If you want to make that page pretty, thumbnails of covers would look nice.

All for now...

Gary

That looks pretty good, Joel,

I have a lot of comments, but they are not too bad.
I suggest using a shorter naming convention for the files
(the prefix that they will have in the hcibib), and ask
for some more data. I have modified my perl script,
but it might be easiest if I simply received the BibTeX
and did any conversions. That might depend on whether
the session names can be added to a field in the BibTeX
or if they need to be added to the hcibib refer.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed and we'll work on.

Gary

File naming:
------------

The files for GI prodeedings will be GI followed by a two-year code:
 	GI03.bib GI89.bib
 	GI03.tex GI89.tex
I would prefer if that convention was followed with the working files.

Desirable data:
---------------

%W fields point to the GI proceedings which might be superseded:
 	%W http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/111/index.html
should instead point to the actual paper and any supplementary links
so that the user does not need to go to a record with the same data as before:
 	%W http://www.graphicsinterface.org/cgi-bin/DownloadPaper?name=2003/111/paper111.pdf Paper in PDF format (1450 Kb)
 	%W http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/111/file111-1.mov Demonstration Video (7858 Kb) 
The link to the paper should be the first. The description and size can be omitted.
To check the abstracts, it is useful to have a link to the index.html web
page; that could be the last %W field:
 	%W http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/170/index.html
For a first pass, I think it would be fine to just use the one index.html link,
and expand them later, but users would prefer to see a PDF link, of course.

%S There were no session names. These are highly desirable.
Here is a conference with section headings:
 	http://hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI04*
Here is one without:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/ECSCW05*
The section headings also serve as keywords for search.
They can come from the printed proceedings (which I do not have).
If they can be added to the bibtex, fine, but if not, then they
will need to be added to the refer files. Maybe the table of contents
can be scanned to pdf and I can grab what I need.

Minor inconveniences: (don't do anything for these)
---------------------

The papers did not appear in page-number order, but that is easy to correct
during processing of the files.

Some words are broken with hyphens:
 	Scis-sors
These will be corrected with spellchecks.

Punctuation (quotes, dashes) will be converted to ascii.

Modifications to the perl script:
---------------------------------

%X Paragraphs were not maintained in the refer. I mapped a blank line to a <p> tag.
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/170/index.html
But some paragraphs did not turn into blank lines in the BibTeX:
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/205/index.html
and I did not check these:
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/176/index.html
 	http://www.graphicsinterface.org/proceedings/2003/127/index.html

Diacritics were not being converted to the correct html entities. I modified my
script.

I am now simply dropping the ISBN/ISSN, city, publisher, and organization
I drop the date, too, but then add it as part of processing.

Hi Joel,

You actually added the section to a "notes" field, not "note",
which was fine with me because the records a;leady put the ISBN
and ISSN in the "note" field. We can negotiate further on that point.

Thank you for the links. We might work on their usability.

So, here is your first of what I hope are many contributions:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/bibtoc.cgi?file=bibdata/GI03*
You have been acknowledged here:
 	http://www.hcibib.org/contrib.html

Send them when you get them. Batches of 3 or 4 are probably best.

I suggest marching back in time 2002 2001 ...

I think that GI in 1987 was part of CHI+GI, so that is already done.

Gary

My checking script noticed that there were just 15 of 32 papers with sections,
but I was not paying attention.

The conversion is not automatic. I had to make spelling corrections and
other changes, so I'll correct the sections manually.

Hi Joel,

I made the corrections and it's all updated.

I looked at a couple of sources, and "notes" does not look okay.
 	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX
You may want to switch back to note. I suggest using a prefix like:
 	,note = "Session: User Modeling"
That way, you still have valid BibTeX and I can parse it out easily.

Gary
