Looking into the future from the past experience – predictive analytics in procurement

This research is devoted to the concepts of memory and oblivion in terms of the universality of these categories for literature, and their interdisciplinary in history, culturology, and sociology. The theoretical basis for analysis in the artistic text is shown on the example of Ukrainian and foreign researchers, specified and illustrated manifestations in the Ukrainian novels by Y. Andrukhovych, O. Zabuzhko, S. Zhadan, O. Irvanetz, etc. Literature is the centre of individual and national cultural memory and a means of creating of it. However, it becomes a platform for social discourse of memory, as well as the preservation of individual memory as a genetic key in the text. Consequently, modern literary studies require a well-balanced approach and analysis of the ways, means, methods, and forms of its functioning in contemporary art. Such approach will enable an understanding of the past experience, as well as assessments of contemporary imprints of events in the future, on a qualitatively new level.

Data Visualizations

This article explores how newsmakers exploit numeric records in order to anticipate the future. As this nascent area of data journalism experiments with predictive analytics, we examine its reports and computer-generated presentations, often infographics and data visualizations, and ask what time frames and topics are covered by these diagrammatic displays. We also interrogate the strategies that are employed in order to modulate the uncertainty involved in calculating for more than one possible outlook. Based on a comprehensive sample of projects, our analysis shows how data journalism seeks accuracy but has to cope with a number of different prospective probabilities and the puzzle of how to address this multiplicity of futures. Despite their predictive ambition, these forecasts are inherently grounded in the past because they are based on archival data. We conclude that this form of quantified premediation limits the range of imaginable future thoughts to one preferred mode, namely extrapolation.
