Leveraging GIS and ChatGPT for Social Goods and Higher Education

GIS (Geographic Information System) is a powerful tool for managing, analyzing, and presenting spatial data. It has a wide range of applications for social goods, from mapping public services (data) to analyzing the spatial distribution of information resources and use. On the other hand, ChatGPT is an AI-based chatbot that engages in natural language conversations with users. It can be trained to answer questions, provide assistance, and facilitate learning in social services and higher education. Our research combines the two technologies to find innovative and efficient ways of delivering social services and improved LIS education. For example, GIS can map out the locations of library resources, patron demographics, local history, and support other services (i.e., crisis responses). ChatGPT can provide personalized assistance and information to users based on their location and preferences. We intend to use GIS + ChatGPT to create more accessible services/APPs for the underrepresented population in community or higher education. Utilizing GIS and ChatGPT (and other generative AI services) will create more accessible and convenient ways for users to access public data, especially for the seniors and new immigrants in the Great Chicago Area. We will also explore new initiatives to improve the librarian’s professional training in “Content Engineering” and “Prompt Engineering” in the era of AI. We will also focus on the ethical implications of these technologies and ensure that they are used to respect user privacy and promote equitable access to quality information services and social justice.

Interorganizational and International Networks For Digital Diplomacy Outreach: A Comparative Study of South Korea and China

This study introduced an analytical framework for assessing the inter-organizational network system and the web impacts of public diplomacy organizations’ sites through the cases of South Korea and China. This study compared interorganizational collaboration networks, the impact of the government agencies’ websites, and the sectoral and geographic distribution of information resources offered by the agencies on the web. Social network analysis was employed, and it indicated that the Chinese public diplomacy organizations constructed denser and more strongly connected networks than the Korean public diplomacy agencies. Furthermore, the results suggested that .com was the most popular generic top-level domain, followed by .org, .net, and .edu, for both Korean and Chinese organizations. The source sites that sent links to Korean organizations originated mostly from East Asian (Korea, Indonesia, and Japan) and European countries (Germany and Russia). Information about Chinese culture was spread more widely across diverse countries, including East Asian (China and Japan), North American (Canada), European (United Kingdom, France), and Oceanian (Australia) countries. For both Korea and China, domestic audiences played key roles as information hubs in each network, which illuminates a networked and cooperative form of digital diplomacy outreach in these countries.

Information resources distribution between automated workstations in local corporative networks

Setting the task: the progressive development of means of destabilizing effects on the telecommunication system requires improvement of the scientific and methodological apparatus for modeling effects from such effects. To date, dynamic processes of information conflict remain insufficiently studied in conditions of joint influence of means of destabilizing effects and technical means of exploration on telecommunication system. Problem situation: presence of integral effects on telecommunication system of technical means of exploration and means of destabilizing effects, in the absence of models formalizing such tripartite interactions. The direction of formalization of information conflict on the basis of the theory of dynamic systems taking into account the time parameters of its development is not sufficiently developed. The goal is to build a model of a three-way dynamic information conflict. Methods used: mathematical apparatus of dynamic systems theory is used to construct a mathematical model of information conflict and its research. The model itself is represented as a system of differential equations. The subject of the study is the ratio of competitive distribution of information resources between the parties to the information conflict. Object of research: telecommunication system under the influence of destabilizing effects and technical means of exploration. Scientific novelty: for the first time for the developed model three sides of dynamic conflict are presented, taking into account the dynamics of development of information conflict in time, different degrees of conflict interaction between individual parties are taken into account, synthesis of universal approaches generalizing dynamic information conflict between the three sides is presented. Practical significance: The proposed model can be used to explore a broad class of conflict interactions in application areas in different spheres. It will be useful in dealing with such dynamic conflicts involving three or more parties.

SOFTWARE AGENTS IN E-LEARNING SYSTEMS

The usage of the multi-agent approach for solving resource management problems in e-learning systems is discussed in this paper. The advantages of multi-agent system comparing with traditional systems are emphasized. Such systems provide simplicity of implementation, transferability, and scalability, allow parallel computing, are guided by systems based on knowledge, have the ability to self-organize and evolve. The formalization of dynamic distribution of resources based on the network of the needs and opportunities is proposed. Two types of autonomous interacting agents are identified. They need agents and opportunity agents. All agents act in accordance with their own goals and according to certain rules, allowing them to act independently and interact with each other. As a relation between two types of agents was used conformity. The basic principles of network construction are defined. The formal model of interaction between agents is described. It was defined that one of the most often problems that can arise in the e-learning system is the problem of coordination. Partly this problem can be solved by the detailed elaboration of a set of decision-making rules. The article proposes an algorithm that allows flexible and prompt solving of information resources distribution tasks in accordance with the needs of rapidly changing environments. The specialized components for the agents in the system are defined: the agent communication component, the decision making component, and the component of the flow calculations. The main obstacles for multi-agent approach implementation are defined. They are: difficulties to evaluate the optimality of the decision; solutions are sensitive to the history of events; small changes in the system input can lead to significant changes in the output; there are some difficulties in adjusting the solution in the "manual" mode; misunderstandings in explaining the results as a consequence of complex causal relationships are possible; delays of solutions are liable to occur because of long chains of changes; it is possible to obtain non-identical solutions under the same conditions of input when re-launching the model.

Exploration of An Open Online Learning Platform Based on Google Cloud Computing

With the progress of society, traditional online learning platforms have demonstrated the uneven distribution of information resources, and teacher–student communication exhibits a certain delay. At present, cloud computing, which is a new product of information technology, has been favored in many areas because of its superior feedback mechanism and storage space. Therefore, to improve the integration of online learning information resources and facilitate interaction between teachers and students, we designed our own online learning system based on the Google cloud computing platform. We used Google’s cloud computing platform and the Google App Engine to develop a unified and open online learning platform that is capable of storing large amounts of data, integrating considerable amounts of learning resources, and storing them on cloud. Through a test, we determined that the designed online learning platform for sharing information resources and integrating teacher–student exchanges is highly beneficial. The platform helps the classroom learning atmosphere become active, and has a positive effect on teaching methods. The proposed platform can promote further development of online learning.

Method of solving problem for information resources distribution in ACS special purpose in the amount of information blocks variability

The article describes the analysis of distribution for information resource when functioning ACS of a special purpose. The variable size of information units is considered. The formulated task is classified as the task of nonlinear programming. On the basis of the carried out analysis the decision method is offered. It is the most expedient to use a Lagrangian multiplier method in this case. The initial task is considered as the task of the conditional optimization. The method transforms the initial task to the task without restrictions. This problem is solved by methods of unconditional optimization. Application of a Lagrangian multiplier method for the solution of an objective has a row of features. The method is applied to the decision the task of nonlinear integer programming. Additional check is added to a method. During the decision of the task for a point which suitable for an extremum are checked execution of sufficient conditions. It provides a splitting of nonoptimal decisions. Also time of the decision for task decreases. In case for creation Lagrange function classical Lagrangian multiplier are used. Before passing of an iterative cycle classical conditions of a discretization are removed. Necessary conditions of stationarity Lagrange function are defined. For an acceleration of search of the decision features of functioning ACS for a special purpose are used. Besides all information resource must be in units of the involved nodes information retrieval system.

Experimental results show that the biased flooding search algorithm based on index can not only reduce the message load but also can improve the search hit rate.

Toward a Political Philosophy of Information

Many of the most pressing issues in information ethics—informational privacy, surveillance, intellectual property, access to information, and the distribution of information resources—can only be addressed at the level of global politics. This paper develops an approach to theorizing about political questions of concern to information ethics. It begins by situating a political philosophy of information within the broader field of ethics and defending a theoretical approach that is practical, person-centered, and pluralistic. The method of dialogic public reason, as articulated by John Rawls and supplemented with insights from Jürgen Habermas, is described and defended. It is argued that dialogic public reason provides a way to justify political principles in a diverse global context. The paper concludes by relating the idea of dialogic public reason to international human rights. The putative human right to intellectual property is criticized on the grounds that it does not pass the test of public reason.

Modeling individual-level information behavior: A person-in-environment (PIE) framework

This paper has two goals: (1) to introduce the Person-in-Environment (PIE) framework, which the author developed to measure the relative impacts of socio-structural and individual factors on individual information behavior; and (2) to demonstrate PIE's applicability. An empirical study on the factors of students' library usage is presented. PIE addresses a research gap in the information behavior area---the shortage of societal-level research. In PIE, individual factors (e.g., cognitive and affective) and socio-structural factors (e.g., information resources distribution) are conceptualized as inter-related. Thus, they need to be tested simultaneously with a multivariate method such as structural equation modeling (SEM). Previously, it was difficult to link individual and socio-structural factors. This is because their units of observation often vary. This author proposes linking diverse datasets with geographic information systems (GIS), using spatial location as the key. The PIE framework can contribute to theoretical and methodological discussions in information behavior research. It also offers scholars and policymakers a way to empirically assess the contributions of information services.

Contribution of Information to the Regional Economic Growth in Zhejiang, China and Aichi, Japan

This paper attempts to measure the contribution of information to economic growth by using the deterministic frontier production function. We use the panel data of input-output tables for Zhejiang Province in China and Aichi Prefecture in Japan as a case study. It is estimated that the contribution of information to the regional economic growth in Aichi is three times that in Zhejiang. It is also shown that the reason for this difference mainly relates to differences in the scale, type, and distribution of information resources. This paper provides several suggestions for promoting regional economic growth in Zhejiang.JEL Classification: R11, R15
