Calibrating Expert Assessments Using Hierarchical Gaussian Process Models

2020

Expert assessments are routinely used to inform management and other decision making. However, often these assessments contain considerable biases and uncertainties for which reason they should be calibrated if possible. Moreover, coherently combining multiple expert assessments into one estimate poses a long-standing problem in statistics since modeling expert knowledge is often difficult. Here, we present a hierarchical Bayesian model for expert calibration in a task of estimating a continuous univariate parameter. The model allows experts' biases to vary as a function of the true value of the parameter and according to the expert's background. We follow the fully Bayesian approach (the s…

Eliciting expert knowledge to inform stock status for data-limited stock assessments

2019

Data-limited fisheries are a major challenge for stock assessment analysts, as many traditional data-rich models cannot be implemented. Approaches based on stock reduction analysis offer simple ways to handle low data availability, but are particularly sensitive to assumptions on relative stock status (i.e., current biomass compared to unperturbed biomass). For the vast majority of data-limited stocks, stock status is unmeasured. The present study presents a method to elicit expert knowledge to inform stock status and a novel, user-friendly on-line application for expert elicitation. Expert opinions are compared to stock status derived from data-rich models. Here, it is evaluated how expert…

Neutral experts or passionate participants? Renegotiating expertise and the right to act in Finnish participatory social policy

2018

This article examines a case of participatory social policy in which former beneficiaries were invited as ‘experts-by-experience’ into Finnish social welfare organisations. It combines a governmentality perspective with the analytical tools of the sociology of engagements to explore as what the projects’ participants are engaged, and how the differing demands made on their ways of being are made to appear as legitimate. The article shows how different definitions of expertise are used to steer the participants’ forms of engagement, and how these definitions appear valid only within a specific frame of justifying civic participation. It concludes that the participants’ expertise is defined i…

Vor-und Nachteile der Digitalisierung bei der Arbeit von Sprachexpertinnen und –experten

2020

While the future of work is discussed from many perspectives, discussions on how an individual's own work tasks are changing are relatively rare (Dufva et al. 2017). This article builds on our alumni study (Selkälä, Tahkokorpi & Virtaluoto 2018), in which we discovered that despite the perceived changes in working life - often called the disruption of work - the foreign language alumni of the Oulu University have found permanent positions in the traditional professions of language graduates with relative ease. For them, the disruption of work has not affected employability or the terms of employment. To investigate how working life has changed for people in these professions, we gathered gr…

Communication students' motives for and attitudes towards personal branding

2015

Henkilöbrändäys ja profiloituminen ovat olleet pitkään eri alojen kuuluisuuksien etuoikeus. Sosiaalinen media on kuitenkin mahdollistanut henkilöbrändäyksen hyvin laajalle yleisölle. Onkin arvioitu, että sosiaalisen median kanavat ovat nykyisin pääasiallisia areenoita henkilöbrändäykselle. Lisäksi digitaalinen viestintä ja sosiaalinen media ovat luoneet uuden viestinnän muodon: yksilöiden joukkoviestinnän. Näin ollen näyttää siltä, että sosiaalinen media on ollut sekä henkilöbrändäys-ilmiön aiheuttaja että mahdollistaja. Informaatioteknologian vallankumouksen aikana on kasvanut myös kaksi uutta sukupolvea, joiden tavat käyttää teknologiaa eroavat merkitta…

Professionals’ views on children’s service user involvement

2021

Purpose Children are gradually attaining recognition as service users and their involvement in service development has been advanced in recent years. This study draws on empirical research in social and health-care services designed for children and families.

Koulutuksen asiantuntijana vieraassa kulttuurissa : suomalainen koulutusvientiasiantuntijatyö sekä kulttuuriäly

2016

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella suomalaista koulutusvientiä toteuttavia koulutusvientiasiantuntijoita, heidän työtään ja kykyään toimia vieraassa kulttuurikontekstissa. Koulutusta ei voida sellaisenaan tuotteistaa ja viedä maasta toiseen, minkä seurauksena koulutusvientiä toteutetaan monin eri tavoin. Tässä tutkimuksessa koulutusvientiä tarkastellaan osaamisen vientinä, jolla tarkoitetaan koulutuksen asiantuntijuuden vientiä eli suomalaisten koulutusasiantuntijoiden lähettämistä ulkomaille. Tutkimuksen kohteena ovat suomalaiset koulutusvientiasiantuntijat, jotka toimivat expatriaatteina eli ulkomaan kohteeseen lähetettyinä asiantuntijoina. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli tuottaa ti…
