#computationalsocialscience — Public Fediverse posts

Really interesting new paper from some of my former @GESIS colleagues in "Big Data & Society": "From (almost) open to heavily restricted data access – The development of the Twitter/X developer policies"

🔍 Drawing on work at the intersection of #NLP and financial and social science applications, Dr. Chen highlighted why understanding LLMs as active intermediaries is crucial for assessing influence, accountability, and systemic risk in modern information ecosystems.

💬 We thank Dr. Chen for the thought-provoking talk and the discussion with UKP Lab members on language, mediation, and power in the age of #LLMs.

Congrats to Prof. Dr. Ingmar Weber on his AAAI Fellowship! The fellowship honors individuals with significant contributions to #AI.

Working in societal computing, he bridges AI and the social sciences, analyzing social platform data for valuable insights on society. 👏

#preprint We have a new #ABM called NormAN (for ‘Normative Argument Exchange Across Networks’) which we hope will help build bridges between research on #OpinionDynamics and #Argumentation research.

It captures the exchange of arguments by #Bayesian agents in a ground truth world based on a #CausalGraph. Code is #Netlogo with #R (netlogo python coming soon).

Take it for a spin!

WAYRT? (What Are You Reading Today)

We're starting a new Wednesday tradition at CompSocial...

Come by and tell us about the papers, blog posts, tutorials, articles, anything that you've been reading lately that might be of interest to the broader #socialcomputing / #onlinecommunities / #computationalsocialscience community.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CompSocial/comments/z2ratr/wayrt/

We're at 42 members and counting over at https://www.reddit.com/r/CompSocial/

Please come join us if this feels relevant to you and your work. We're hoping to make this a valuable source of community-contributed content, including paper links and discussions, CFPs, academic/industry job postings, and more.

Is anyone familiar with prior work that explores *who* provides feedback in online communities?

There is some work on identifying "experts" in knowledge-sharing communities, but is there research identifying what kinds of users are doing the social/community work of welcoming and encouraging new participants?

Any pointers at all, even peripherally relevant, would be appreciated!

#Introduction

I am a complexity & network scientist, prof. of physics at the U. of Padua, where I lead the @ComuneLab

I am interested into #StatisticalPhysics of #ComplexSystems and #NetworkScience from cells to societies!

Hello world! Here's my #introduction

I’m an #NLP #PhD student at #CMU and a Student Researcher at #Google, interested in #AI for {Language, Knowledge, Culture, Society}

Currently I work on #NLProc with applications to #ComputationalSocialScience, #ScienceOfScience, #QuestionAnswering, & #ScholarlyNLP.

I'm often inspired by #libraries, #wikis, #memex, etc -- long term I'd like to study & build interactive #KnowledgeAugmentation that supports discovery, agency, access, community, and trust.

Quick heads-up that we will be presenting this work on measuring/predicting "Sense of Virtual Community" within Twitch Channels in one hour (6-7PM PST), at the "Online Communities & Inclusivity" session at #CSCW2022

I gather I should do an #introduction! I'm an Assistant Professor at Harvey Mudd College in #computerscience, where my research is focused on the practicalities of using #nlp for #digitalhumanities #computationalsocialscience. I'm excited to talk about undergraduate #ducation as well as #crosswords, Dungeons and Dragons, memes, and baking cookies.

#reintroduction

I'm Sebastian, a #computational #linguist (sometimes also an #nlp person) at Stuttgart University, Germany. I work on #semantics, #multilinguality, #digitalhumanities, #computationalsocialscience and some #machinelearning.

Recent studies I already posted about include modeling party similarity (https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.11989), distinguishing main/subordinate clauses across languages (https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.11987) and understanding news recommendation systems (https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14704)
