Validity in Design Research Research in design science has always recognized the importance of evaluating its knowledge outcomes, particularly of assessing the efficacy, utility, and attributes of the artifacts produced (e.g., A.I. systems, machine learning models, theories, frameworks). However, demonstrating the validity of design science research (DSR) is challenging and not well understood. This paper defines DSR validity and proposes a DSR Validity Framework. We evaluate the framework by assembling and analyzing an extensive data set of research validities papers from various disciplines, including design science. We then analyze the use of validity concepts in DSR and validate the framework. The results demonstrate that the DSR Validity Framework may be used to guide how validity can, and should, be used as an integral aspect of design science research. We further describe the steps for selecting appropriate validities for projects and formulate efficacy validity and characteristic validity claims suitable for inclusion in manuscripts. Keywords: Design science research (DSR), research validity, validity framework, artifact, evaluation, efficacy validity, characteristic validity. |

Prelim topic: Evaluation for Abstract Meaning Representations Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) is a semantic representation language that provides a way to represent the meaning of a sentence in the form of a graph. The task of AMR parsing—automatically extracting AMR graphs from natural language text—necessitates evaluation metrics to develop neural parsers. My prelim is a review of AMR evaluation metrics and the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, as well as a discussion of gaps and unexplored questions in the current literature. |
