Excited to share a pre-print about web scraping for research! We're happy to receive feedback on how we frame this issue and try to build some paths forward for researchers. w/ Andrew Gruen, @gmaldoff, @SolomonMg, @ZeveSanderson, & @michaelzimmer https://t.co/PEDic3OWmd
A belated 🧵 about our latest #KDD2024 paper. We developed a novel machine-learning approach for identifying fake news *sources* by leveraging network info and active learning 👇 https://t.co/b0SBTdbwah
I am co-organizing the workshop on Future of Event Detection at @emnlpmeeting this year !
If you are working in the area, or have thoughts about what event detection should looks like -- consider submitting: https://t.co/pLXdj1Bf4q

Sad to miss @IC2S2, a deep sense of fomo already.
My excuse - still recovering from a wonderful week in Ghana, learning and working to build collaborations at places like @rail_knust! Take a look at what they're up to over your delicious conference breakfast!
Check out our @Nature comment article on AI generated content during elections: https://t.co/xqB64kDXsx
Short summary: There was not much gen AI content during the elections.
This was (imo) because it was much easier to generate misinfo/hate content with existing tooling.
Easily the biggest honor and privilege of my career to serve the best research community on Earth @icwsm
I'm grateful beyond words to every single person who attended, to those on the OC who made it all possible.

I’m thrilled that our paper, with @cervisiarius and led by @russogiusep: “Stranger Danger! Cross-community interactions with fringe users increase the growth of fringe communities on Reddit” won the best paper award at @icwsm! 🎉🎉🎉

This @icwsm/@journalqd paper, led by @juliamendelson, develops a computational approach to studying collective action framing strategies, which can be diagnostic, prognostic, or motivational.

Adamic-Glance Distinguished Young Researcher Award winner @Diyi_Yang delivering the Adamic-Glance Plenary Talk "Can Large Language Models Transform Computational Social Science?" at #ICWSM24
It is exciting that @icwsm launched a Global Initiative to connect senior community members with researchers from low- and middle-income countries to increase their representation at the conference.
Shout out to @codybuntain@jhblackb for chairing this first edition #ICWSM24
