Diyi-Yang @Diyi_Yang delivering the Adamic-Glance Distinguished Young Researcher Award keynote on using LLMs for computational social science demonstrating that on many tasks fine-tuned smaller models are still better than LLMs @icwsm

@manoelribeiro @TheWebConf Hi Manoel! Thank you for your interest in our paper. Our experiment design allowed for studying heterogeneous treatment effects rather than overall average effects. Are you @icwsm this week? Happy to chat more in person.

[Elena Zheleva @elenadata]

After a week @TheWebConf in Singapore where few of the people I know attended in person (likely due to its distance from the US), it's nice to see many familiar faces @icwsm in Buffalo, NY. Say 'hi' if you are also attending.

Congratulations to Zahra Fatemi @Zara_ftm who successfully defended her PhD thesis on “Addressing interference and selection bias in causal inference from networks"! 👏🥳 Many thanks to the committee members, @msaveski, @ab_asudeh, Cornelia Caragea and Barbara Di Eugenio!
