The conference title was <em>Big Data Meets Survey Science<\/em> and this was the first conference with the aim of exploring new statistical frontiers at the intersection of Survey Science and Big Data. The conference was organized by <em>The European Survey Research Association<\/em> (ESRA) and was held at the <em>Research and Expertise Center of Survey Methodology<\/em> at the <em>Universitat Pompeu Fabra<\/em> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n<p>The participants  represented major academic centers, global companies, and governmental agencies, for example: Colombia University, University of Chicago, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, University of Mannheim, University of Essex, NYU, Australian National University, University of Illinois, University of Southampton,  RTI International, Kantar Public, GESSIS, CentERdata\/Tilburg University, Max Planck Institute, SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, Uber, Gallup, Gfk, Ipssos, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Civis Analytics, U.S. Census Bureau, Statistics Canada, Office for National Statistics UK, Statistics Netherlands, Statistics Finland, Statistics Norway, EUSTAT, OECD, and others.<\/p>\n\n<p>The conference gathered many participants and presenters who are well-known in the worlds of Survey Science and\/or Big Data. In attendance were, for example: Julia Lane (Professor at New York University, the recipient of more than 70 million USD in grants) whose current research focuses on Big Data&rsquo;s role in government and public policies. Additionally, there was strong representation of R users - one of the presenters was Maciej Ber\u0119sewicz, who was the main organizer of first <em>eRum: European R User Conference<\/em> in Pozna\u0144, Poland.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"conference-topics\">Conference Topics<\/h2>\n\n<p>Nowadays, there are more and more barriers for conducting survey research projects. The major ones are decreasing response rates and increasing costs of gathering declarative data from respondents. Therefore, many survey methodologists are looking towards Data Science and Big Data trying to supplement or even replace traditional surveys with new methods and technologies and still gain useful insights. There are many challenges to overcome (like methodological issues, low data quality, privacy concerns, etc.), yet some approaches seem to be particularly promising. Therefore, some trending topics at the conference were:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>ethical and privacy challenges and considerations,<\/li>\n<li>using Big Data in Official Statistics,<\/li>\n<li>using new technologies for passive data collection,<\/li>\n<li>using data from Social Media (text-mining, process-mining, targeting recruitment),<\/li>\n<li>merging data from different sources (survey data, administrative data, big data, passive data, web-scraped data),<\/li>\n<li>using Big Data to improve surveys and vice versa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Interestingly, there is no consensus about how to approach ethical and privacy challenges in Survey Data &amp; Big Data world. For many, the EU <em>General Data Protection Regulation<\/em> (GDPR) is far from being the optimal solution. Some claim that the responsibility for protecting privacy should be moved from data-producers towards those who are using the data for different purposes.  Nevertheless, many speakers seemed to agree that the problem is not a binary one. It is more a continuum between full privacy on the one side and full utility from data on the other. However, it was highlighted that the problem is far more complex, because what brings full utility for most people, can be harmful for a few, and even those few should be protected in some way. To sum it up, one is certain - much more discussion  is still needed on this topic in many countries, both in US and Europe, and among various professions (including lawyers, politicians, social, computer, and data scientists, philosophers, and people who are concerned about their privacy).<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"new-paradigms-in-on-line-declarative-data-collection\">New Paradigms in On-line Declarative Data Collection<\/h2>\n\n<p>At the conference I had a talk about new paradigms in on-line declarative data collection. I was arguing that off-line research paradigms are still dominant, even in the world of on-line research techniques, because most on-line surveys are mainly off-line questionnaires converted into more or less advanced on-line HTML forms.\nWe need to seek, and to be willing to accept, new paradigms in social science research techniques that will allow us to develop new, native on-line research tools designed to build long-term relationships with our respondents. Although, even now almost all attention is focused on more traditional approaches to current problems in Survey Science, in my opinion the change already has started. These days, Social Scientists, Data Scientists, and Computer Scientists more often than ever are working together to find new, interdisciplinary, and innovative methods and tools for conducting important research projects with aim to benefit whole societies.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"barcelona-supercomputing-center\">Barcelona Supercomputing Center<\/h2>\n\n<p>Aside the main conference, visiting \u201ethe most beautiful data center in the World\u201d - Barcelona Supercomputing Center - was one of the main attractions of the conference. Created in 2005, the center has now one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe based on MareNostrum 4 (described by experts as \u201ethe world\u2019s most diverse supercomputer\u201d due to the heterogeneity of its architecture). MareNostrum is known for allocating 32 million core hours to the Nobel Prize for detecting gravitational waves. Currently, MareNostrum can perform at 13.7 petaflops (13700 trillion floating-point operations per second). Every four years the supercomputers are upgraded to achieve the European Commission goal to develop exascale supercomputers. The Center has more than 500 employees from 45 countries. The total budget for 2017 was almost 37 million EUR. Supercomputing enables scientific experiments that could not be performed in the real world, because they would be too expensive, too dangerous or simply impossible.\n\n\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  <a data-fancybox=\"gallery-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0029.JPG\" >\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0029.JPG\" alt=\"\">\n  <\/a>\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  <a data-fancybox=\"gallery-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0037.JPG\" >\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0037.JPG\" alt=\"\">\n  <\/a>\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  <a data-fancybox=\"gallery-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0038.JPG\" >\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0038.JPG\" alt=\"\">\n  <\/a>\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  <a data-fancybox=\"gallery-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0039.JPG\" >\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0039.JPG\" alt=\"\">\n  <\/a>\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  <a data-fancybox=\"gallery-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0049.JPG\" >\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-11-05-bigsurv18-big-data-meets-survey-science\/gallery\/DSC_0049.JPG\" alt=\"\">\n  <\/a>\n  \n\n  \n<\/div><\/p>\n"},{"title":"New Paradigms in Online Declarative Data Collection","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/talk\/2018-barcelona\/","pubDate":"Fri, 26 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/talk\/2018-barcelona\/","description":{}},{"title":"Biographical articles in scientific literature: analysis of articles indexed in Web of Science","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/publication\/2018_scientometrics\/biographical-articles-in-indexed-in-web-of-science\/","pubDate":"Fri, 05 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/publication\/2018_scientometrics\/biographical-articles-in-indexed-in-web-of-science\/","description":{}},{"title":"Towards Native Declarative Data Collection with Question and Survey Instant Feedback in R&Shiny","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/talk\/2018-budapest\/","pubDate":"Sun, 13 May 2018 00:00:00 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/talk\/2018-budapest\/","description":{}},{"title":"Notes from eRum 2018: European R User Conference in Budapest","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-05-23-notes-from-erum-2018-european-r-user-conference-in-budapest\/","pubDate":"Sat, 05 May 2018 00:00:00 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2018-05-23-notes-from-erum-2018-european-r-user-conference-in-budapest\/","description":"<p>The second eRum was organized this year in Budapest (Hungary) and gathered ~500 participants (mostly, but not only, from Europe).

Unfortunately, these packages are not open source, and are not yet available for other developers. However, you can taste their flavor <a href=\"https:\/\/go.appsilondatascience.com\/shiny.users\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matthias Templ<\/strong> had a great talk about <code>robCompositions<\/code> package and a proper way for analyzing compositional data which are present in almost any field of research (for example concentration of chemical elements, time budget data, expenditures, percentages and ratios reported in various tables).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Przemys\u0142aw Biecek<\/strong> introduced a toolkit for interpreting machine learning models. Great toolkit and great talk, which is always the case when Prof. Biecek gives a talk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heather Turner<\/strong> introduced new <code>PlackettLuce<\/code> package for analyzing rankings data. This could be very useful tool, applicable in many different fields. I&rsquo;m looking forward to trying it myself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Henring Bengtsson<\/strong> had a great talk about the impactful <code>future<\/code> package. I\u2019ve used his package for one of my shiny app for refreshing the data in the background process, even without using brand new package <code>promises<\/code>. The <code>future<\/code> package is, in my opinion, indeed a future for parallel and distributed processing in R. It has multi-platform, well-designed API that allows for very easy code adaptation to different parallel infrastructure backends. Development of the project is currently sponsored by R Consortium.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Achim Zeileis<\/strong> presented <code>R\/exams<\/code> package for generating exams tests. Everyone working with students may find it interesting tool for teaching and knowledge checking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mark van der Loo<\/strong> had a talk about <code>lumberjack<\/code> package and <strong>Edwin de Jonge<\/strong> about <code>validatetools<\/code> package. Both packages can be very useful if someone needs to validate correctness of data in datasets or log changes done to the raw data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Other notes:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you have never used interactive plots before, try <code>ggplotly()<\/code> - a function that converts a ggplot2 object to a <code>plotly<\/code> interactive object, so you can rapidly make your static plot interactive.<\/li>\n<li>If you like use Hadley\u2019s <code>purrr<\/code> package for functional programming, you need to check new <code>furrr<\/code> package, which was recently published on CRAN. In this package you can find implementations of <code>map()<\/code> functions that can be run in parallel or on distributed cluster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"title":"Debt Literacy and Debt Literacy Self\u2010Assessment: The Case of Poland","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/publication\/2018_jca\/debt-literacy-and-debt-literacy-self-assessment-the-case-of-poland\/","pubDate":"Wed, 02 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/publication\/2018_jca\/debt-literacy-and-debt-literacy-self-assessment-the-case-of-poland\/","description":{}},{"title":"Wra\u017cenia z pobytu na Uniwersytecie Notre Dame (USA)","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2017-11-19-wrazenia-z-pobytu-na-uniwersytecie-notre-dame-usa\/","pubDate":"Tue, 28 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0100","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/post\/2017-11-19-wrazenia-z-pobytu-na-uniwersytecie-notre-dame-usa\/","description":"\n\n<h2 id=\"center-for-research-computing-crc\">Center for Research Computing (CRC)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Od 1 sierpnia do 31 pa\u017adziernika 2017 r. mia\u0142em mo\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107 i ogromn\u0105 satysfakcj\u0119 go\u015bci\u0107 na Uniwersytecie Notre Dame w stanie Indiana.

The tidyverse, the culmination of years of effort in the R language, is a universe of packages that facilitate a grammar of data, graphics, and modeling that allows even beginners to speak the language of data science fluently. Author of several books on programming and dozens(!) of R packages that are among the most widely used in the realm of data, Hadley Wickham invites you personally to experience the thrill of diving deep into data, discovering unknown treasures, and coming out on the other side with a fuller understanding of the way in which the world works!\nHadley Wickham is the Chief Scientist at RStudio and an Adjunct Professor of Statistics at the University of Auckland, Stanford University, and Rice University. He builds computational and cognitive tools that make data science easier, faster, and more fun.\nThis event was hosted by the MS-ACMS Data Science program and was co-sponsored by the Mendoza College of Business MSBA program and the Office of the Provost.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/img\/photos\/hadley.jpg\" alt=\"May the RStudio be with you!\" \/><\/p>\n"},{"title":"Closed Open Data","link":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/project\/gus\/","pubDate":"Sun, 18 Jun 2017 21:13:14 -0500","guid":"https:\/\/kalimu.github.io\/project\/gus\/","description":"\n\n\n<div id=\"summary\" class=\"section level2\">\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>In this research project we analyze barriers and bad practices in accessing Open Administrative Data in Poland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n"},{"title":"\u015arodowisko fizyczne i spo\u0142eczne oraz jako\u015b\u0107 funkcjonowania szko\u0142y a zdrowie subiektywne i zachowania zdrowotne nastolatk\u00f3w.
