Midterm proposal - I, II

February 26th, 2008

For midterm project, I came up with two ideas.
One is focusing on data visualization with Spamfilter for practicing and reviewing  to catch up past classes and the other is making visualized moral rate data. The former idea is good for my state of knowledge of java but, for the proposal, I will make a progress my latter idea more for visualizing it.

I. Why morality?

Morality means a code of conduct held to be authoritative in matters of right and wrong, whether by society, philosophy, religion, or individual conscience. Therefore, morality is concept pretty related on human and their sense of values. So, as a student learning technology and living in contemporary era, I have been interested in what morality is and how to make new moral concept for the future. I know, it’s very very broad thought. However, in my imagination, if we make this new filter well, we don’t wander which way we have to go to the vague future, at least we have a lantern for the future, I think.

II. Goals

Through MoralityFiltering, 1) I’d like to make data visualization of morality between generations, which means people can see the changes of concept of morality with diachrony . 2) And, with the aspect of synchrony, MoralFiltering can classify morality concept of different countries.(at least, eastern and western countries) 3) Focusing on ages and comparing words, I can map their sense of values.

(morality seems to be out of date word. Yet, if we see the morality is the standard of way of seeing for a certain society , also, if we have hundreds of data filed up,    we can  apply it to all area of contemporary society - It’s long way to go though)

IV. problem

1) Even though Spamfiltering is sort of subjective data, morality is totally based on subjectivity.

2) For making categories, a lot of text related morality and ,especially, interviewed documents are needed.
