AIDA Dashboard
The AIDA Dashboard is a web application that allows users to visualize several kind of analytics about a specific conference (see Figure 1). The backend is developed in Python, while the frontend is in HTML5 and Javascript. The AIDA Dashboard builds on the Academia/Industry DynAmics knowledge graph (AIDA), a large knowledge base describing 14M articles […]

“ResearchFlow: Understanding the Knowledge Flow between Academia and Industry” is a conference paper submitted to Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management – 22nd International Conference, EKAW 2020. Angelo Salatino, Francesco Osborne, Enrico Motta Abstract Understanding, monitoring, and predicting the flow of knowledge between academia and industry is of critical importance for a variety of stakeholders, including governments, funding […]
Angelo and Edu Frias on the PhD Defence
Going through the final stages of your PhD? No worries! We’ve got you covered. In this episode, I invited Dr Eduardo Frias-Anaya, who defended his thesis two weeks ago, at the Open University in the UK, to talk about the final stages of a PhD. We talk about writing up a dissertation, preparation to the […]
Integrating Knowledge Graphs for Analysing Academia and Industry Dynamics
Academia and industry are constantly engaged in a joint effort for producing scientific knowledge that will shape the society of the future. Analysing the knowledge flow between them and understanding how they influence each other is a critical task for researchers, governments, funding bodies, investors, and companies. However, current corpora are unfit to support large-scale analysis of the knowledge flow between academia and industry since they lack of a good characterization of research topics and industrial sectors. In this short paper, we introduce the Academia/Industry DynAmics (AIDA) Knowledge Graph, which characterizes 14M papers and 8M patents according to the research topics drawn from the Computer Science Ontology. 4M papers and 5M patents are also classified according to the type of the author’s affiliations (academy, industry, or collaborative) and 66 industrial sectors (e.g., automotive, financial, energy, electronics) obtained from DBpedia. AIDA was generated by an automatic pipeline that integrates several knowledge graphs and bibliographic corpora, including Microsoft Academic Graph, Dimensions, English DBpedia, the Computer Science Ontology, and the Global Research Identifier Database.
Angelo and Tina on the PhD journey
Have you thought of doing a PhD, you are currently doing or you have finished? I have. It’s painful and rewarding. In this episode, I talk with Dr Tina Papathoma, a post-doctoral researcher in Technology Enhanced Learning, about the PhD journey and the impact it has on us. We talk about the PhD process, submission and viva in an honest discussion of a 4 years journey.
Academia/Industry DynAmics (AIDA) Knowledge Graph
Academia and industry share a complex, multifaceted, and symbiotic relationship. Analysing the knowledge flow between them, understanding which directions have the biggest potential, and discovering the best strategies to harmonise their efforts is a critical task for several stakeholders. While research publications and patents are an ideal media to analyse this space, current datasets of […]
