    Description

    Context

    Data-driven models help mobile app designers understand best practices and trends, and can be used to make predictions about design performance and support the creation of adaptive UIs. This paper presents Rico, the largest repository of mobile app designs to date, created to support five classes of data-driven applications: design search, UI layout generation, UI code generation, user interaction modeling, and user perception prediction. To create Rico, we built a system that combines crowdsourcing and automation to scalably mine design and interaction data from Android apps at runtime. The Rico dataset contains design data from more than 9.3k Android apps spanning 27 categories. It exposes visual, textual, structural, and interactive design properties of more than 66k unique UI screens. To demonstrate the kinds of applications that Rico enables, we present results from training an autoencoder for UI layout similarity, which supports query-by-example search over UIs.

    Content

    Rico was built by mining Android apps at runtime via human-powered and programmatic exploration. Like its predecessor ERICA, Rico’s app mining infrastructure requires no access to — or modification of — an app’s source code. Apps are downloaded from the Google Play Store and served to crowd workers through a web interface. When crowd workers use an app, the system records a user interaction trace that captures the UIs visited and the interactions performed on them. Then, an automated agent replays the trace to warm up a new copy of the app and continues the exploration programmatically, leveraging a content-agnostic similarity heuristic to efficiently discover new UI states. By combining crowdsourcing and automation, Rico can achieve higher coverage over an app’s UI states than either crawling strategy alone. In total, 13 workers recruited on UpWork spent 2,450 hours using apps on the platform over five months, producing 10,811 user interaction traces. After collecting a user trace for an app, we ran the automated crawler on the app for one hour.

    Inspiration

    The Rico dataset is large enough to support deep learning applications. We trained an autoencoder to learn an embedding for UI layouts, and used it to annotate each UI with a 64-dimensional vector representation encoding visual layout. This vector representation can be used to compute structurally — and often semantically — similar UIs, supporting example-based search over the dataset. To create training inputs for the autoencoder that embed layout information, we constructed a new image for each UI capturing the bounding box regions of all leaf elements in its view hierarchy, differentiating between text and non-text elements. Rico’s view hierarchies obviate the need for noisy image processing or OCR techniques to create these inputs.

    Description

    Consumer behavior has changed due to digitization. Online shoppers now refer to user reviews containing comprehensive data produced in real-time, which can be used to determine users’ needs. This paper combines Kansei engineering and natural language processing techniques to extract information on users’ needs from online reviews and provide guidance for subsequent product improvements and development. A crawler tool was used to collect a large number of online reviews for a target product. Frequency analysis was then applied to the text to filter out the product components worth analyzing. The results were categorized and aggregated by experts before sentiment analysis was performed on statements containing the selected adjectives. Finally, the user needs identified could be inputted to Kansei engineering for further product design. This paper verifies the merit of the above method when applied to the mountain bike product category on Amazon. The method proved to be a quick and efficient way to attain accurate product evaluations from end-users and thus represents a feasible approach to intelligently determining user preferences.

    Description

    Data-driven modeling has emerged as a new paradigm for biocatalyst design and discovery. Biocatalytic databases that integrate enzyme structure and function data are in urgent need. Here we describe IntEnzyDB as an integrated structure–kinetics database for facile statistical modeling and machine learning. IntEnzyDB employs a relational database architecture with a flattened data structure, which allows rapid data operation. This architecture also makes it easy for IntEnzyDB to incorporate more types of enzyme function data. IntEnzyDB contains enzyme kinetics and structure data from six enzyme commission classes. Using 1050 enzyme structure–kinetics pairs, we investigated the efficiency-perturbing propensities of mutations that are close or distal to the active site. The statistical results show that efficiency-enhancing mutations are globally encoded and that deleterious mutations are much more likely to occur in close mutations than in distal mutations. Finally, we describe a web interface that allows public users to access enzymology data stored in IntEnzyDB. IntEnzyDB will provide a computational facility for data-driven modeling in biocatalysis and molecular evolution.

    Description

    This dataset contains data collected during a study ("Towards High-Value Datasets determination for data-driven development: a systematic literature review") conducted by Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu), Nina Rizun, Magdalena Ciesielska (Gdańsk University of Technology), Charalampos Alexopoulos (University of the Aegean) and Andrea Miletič (University of Zagreb) It being made public both to act as supplementary data for "Towards High-Value Datasets determination for data-driven development: a systematic literature review" paper (pre-print is available in Open Access here -> https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.10234) and in order for other researchers to use these data in their own work.

    The protocol is intended for the Systematic Literature review on the topic of High-value Datasets with the aim to gather information on how the topic of High-value datasets (HVD) and their determination has been reflected in the literature over the years and what has been found by these studies to date, incl. the indicators used in them, involved stakeholders, data-related aspects, and frameworks. The data in this dataset were collected in the result of the SLR over Scopus, Web of Science, and Digital Government Research library (DGRL) in 2023.

    Methodology

    To understand how HVD determination has been reflected in the literature over the years and what has been found by these studies to date, all relevant literature covering this topic has been studied. To this end, the SLR was carried out to by searching digital libraries covered by Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Digital Government Research library (DGRL).

    These databases were queried for keywords ("open data" OR "open government data") AND ("high-value data*" OR "high value data*"), which were applied to the article title, keywords, and abstract to limit the number of papers to those, where these objects were primary research objects rather than mentioned in the body, e.g., as a future work. After deduplication, 11 articles were found unique and were further checked for relevance. As a result, a total of 9 articles were further examined. Each study was independently examined by at least two authors.

    To attain the objective of our study, we developed the protocol, where the information on each selected study was collected in four categories: (1) descriptive information, (2) approach- and research design- related information, (3) quality-related information, (4) HVD determination-related information.

    Test procedure Each study was independently examined by at least two authors, where after the in-depth examination of the full-text of the article, the structured protocol has been filled for each study. The structure of the survey is available in the supplementary file available (see Protocol_HVD_SLR.odt, Protocol_HVD_SLR.docx) The data collected for each study by two researchers were then synthesized in one final version by the third researcher.

The accessibility of drag-and-drop website builders, combined with integrated e-commerce and marketing tools, empowers authors of all technical backgrounds to maintain a compelling online presence. Furthermore, the rise in self-publishing, which now accounts for a substantial portion of new book releases globally, has fueled demand for specialized website builders tailored to individual authors’ needs.



    Another key driver is the growing importance of personal branding in the literary world. Authors, whether established or emerging, are increasingly aware that a professional online presence can significantly enhance their visibility, credibility, and book sales. Author website builders are responding by offering templates and features specifically designed for portfolio websites, e-commerce author websites, and personal branding platforms. These solutions often include SEO optimization, integration with social media, and tools for managing newsletters and reader engagement. As competition intensifies in the publishing landscape, the ability to differentiate oneself through a well-designed website has become a critical success factor, prompting more authors and literary professionals to invest in dedicated website building solutions.



    The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, analytics, and automation is also propelling the market forward. Modern author website builders are increasingly incorporating AI-powered content suggestions, automated design customization, and data-driven insights to help authors optimize their websites for engagement and conversion. These innovations reduce the technical barriers for authors and enable them to focus on content creation and audience building. Additionally, the trend toward mobile-first design and enhanced security features addresses the evolving expectations of both authors and their audiences, further expanding the appeal and adoption of these platforms.



    From a regional perspective, North America continues to dominate the Author Website Builders market, accounting for the largest share in 2024, owing to the high concentration of published authors, robust self-publishing ecosystem, and widespread adoption of digital marketing strategies. Europe and the Asia Pacific regions are witnessing rapid growth, fueled by increasing literacy rates, a surge in independent publishing, and the expansion of digital infrastructure. Emerging markets in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are gradually embracing author website builders as internet penetration and digital literacy improve, presenting new opportunities for market players. The regional outlook remains positive, with all major regions expected to contribute to overall market expansion through 2033.

    Description

    In many disciplines, data are highly decentralized across thousands of online databases (repositories, registries, and knowledgebases). Wringing value from such databases depends on the discipline of data science and on the humble bricks and mortar that make integration possible; identifiers are a core component of this integration infrastructure. Drawing on our experience and on work by other groups, we outline 10 lessons we have learned about the identifier qualities and best practices that facilitate large-scale data integration. Specifically, we propose actions that identifier practitioners (database providers) should take in the design, provision and reuse of identifiers. We also outline the important considerations for those referencing identifiers in various circumstances, including by authors and data generators. While the importance and relevance of each lesson will vary by context, there is a need for increased awareness about how to avoid and manage common identifier problems, especially those related to persistence and web-accessibility/resolvability. We focus strongly on web-based identifiers in the life sciences; however, the principles are broadly relevant to other disciplines.

Description

Context

Data-driven models help mobile app designers understand best practices and trends, and can be used to make predictions about design performance and support the creation of adaptive UIs. This paper presents Rico, the largest repository of mobile app designs to date, created to support five classes of data-driven applications: design search, UI layout generation, UI code generation, user interaction modeling, and user perception prediction. To create Rico, we built a system that combines crowdsourcing and automation to scalably mine design and interaction data from Android apps at runtime. The Rico dataset contains design data from more than 9.3k Android apps spanning 27 categories. It exposes visual, textual, structural, and interactive design properties of more than 66k unique UI screens. To demonstrate the kinds of applications that Rico enables, we present results from training an autoencoder for UI layout similarity, which supports query-by-example search over UIs.

Content

Rico was built by mining Android apps at runtime via human-powered and programmatic exploration. Like its predecessor ERICA, Rico’s app mining infrastructure requires no access to — or modification of — an app’s source code. Apps are downloaded from the Google Play Store and served to crowd workers through a web interface. When crowd workers use an app, the system records a user interaction trace that captures the UIs visited and the interactions performed on them. Then, an automated agent replays the trace to warm up a new copy of the app and continues the exploration programmatically, leveraging a content-agnostic similarity heuristic to efficiently discover new UI states. By combining crowdsourcing and automation, Rico can achieve higher coverage over an app’s UI states than either crawling strategy alone. In total, 13 workers recruited on UpWork spent 2,450 hours using apps on the platform over five months, producing 10,811 user interaction traces. After collecting a user trace for an app, we ran the automated crawler on the app for one hour.

Inspiration

The Rico dataset is large enough to support deep learning applications. We trained an autoencoder to learn an embedding for UI layouts, and used it to annotate each UI with a 64-dimensional vector representation encoding visual layout. This vector representation can be used to compute structurally — and often semantically — similar UIs, supporting example-based search over the dataset. To create training inputs for the autoencoder that embed layout information, we constructed a new image for each UI capturing the bounding box regions of all leaf elements in its view hierarchy, differentiating between text and non-text elements. Rico’s view hierarchies obviate the need for noisy image processing or OCR techniques to create these inputs.
