@CosmicT Ono sto je interesantno za ovakve teme jeste da se ozbiljni naucnici uglavnom vise i ne bave istrazivanjima na ovu temu, jer to zahteva mnogo vremena a nikakvog teoretskog osnova nema (sto kazu "nema teoretske sanse" da radi), tako da mozda i necete naci mnogo radova :)

[Goran Murić @goranmuric]

@CosmicT Sta znaci "relavantan rad"? Ima vise faktora, ali pogledate prvo broj citata, pa onda gde je objavljen (ako casopis ima visok impact factor onda je verovatnije da je verodostojan), pa mozete da vidite i ko su autori i sl.

In a previous project we found evidence for acrophily (attraction to extremes) in tightly controlled lab experiments. Can we we see evidence for acrophily on social Twitter?

👓 NEW PAPER👓 ACROPHILY ON TWITTER: users (especially conservatives) are more likely to affiliate with others of their own political group who have *more extreme views* compared to moderate views (taking available users into account).

@MassimoSt From my limited experience (5y in the US) - "Dear" is extremely rare and feels too formal. "Hi Name" is more common and appropriate in most situations. After a few e-mails you can switch to "Hey Name", and if you become even more familiar, you switch to "Name" :)

@debarghya_das @karmiconnect108 Well, that is how much it would cost you or me to train that model. They have their own infrastructure and the cost is probably much lower

[Observatory on Social Media @OSoMe_IU]

Have you used our tools such as @Botometer, Hoaxy, and Fakey? They will stop working soon once @Twitter discontinues free access to the API. This decision will affect many research projects and useful tools including those by @OSoMe_IU.

@seanjtaylor What about "better" data? You might get better performance with less data and less parameters

@tunguz Maybe buying ingredients separately and preparing it yourself is better idea. I don't know, I should try 😅

[Goran Murić @goranmuric]

@emollick Nice. We analyzed a few million teams on GitHub and Wikipedia and we found a similar effect: https://t.co/Qz31hK956T
