The new set of Microsoft studies on AI at work really shows getting value from Copilots at the firm level requires thinking about how work is done inside organizations.

Lots of variation as to how time savings worked and whether workers or firms gained. https://t.co/f8mFUbZWY5

Additionally, they classify prior work on embeddings and highlight new research avenues for hyperbolic embeddings in Information Systems.

The paper “HyperCARS: Using Hyperbolic Embeddings for Generating Hierarchical Contextual Situations in Context-Aware Recommender Systems” by Moshe Unger, Alex Tuzhilin, and Konstantin Bauman is now published in Information Systems Research! Exciting work!

They explore how hyperbolic geometry can better represent hierarchical data in recommender systems compared to Euclidean space. This approach improves the modeling of contextualb information and enhances recommendation quality.

Innovative research by @ShirHappens , Gal Oestreicher-Singer, and @InbalYahav suggests that ChatGPT can infer group affiliation from seemingly naïve information provided by users, which leads ChatGPT to offer different recommendations based solely on inferred group affiliation!

🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Many of us avoid mentioning our gender in prompts, knowing that ChatGPT might respond in a biased way. But do we really eliminate these biases by not mentioning gender at all? This is exactly what we were curious to learn!

Exciting insights from @sagitbargill , @InbalYahav & @ChenElyashar ’s latest paper on chatbots adapting to users’ emotions. Their work marks a leap forward in enhancing user satisfaction in customer service. 🤖💡 #AI #CustomerExperience

[Sagit Bar-Gill @sagitbargill]

Should we adapt chatbots' personality based on users' emotional content? Preliminary results from this work with @InbalYahav and @ChenElyashar say that we should. User satisfaction in customer service interactions can be increased when we adapt the chatbot's emotional level to the user's. This can be done based solely on text analysis of the user’s message, without relying on personal data or requiring a depth of interaction. https://t.co/LCTZu2Wez8

New publication alert 🚨: Check out the groundbreaking work by @sagitbargill , @erikbryn , and @NirHak1 in #managementscience. Their research reveals significant revenue boosts for SMEs through analytics and data-driven decision-making. Fascinating read! @INFORMSPubs

[Sagit Bar-Gill @sagitbargill]

Now online @INFORMSPubs #managementscience: Work with @erikbryn and @NirHak1 deriving the first experiment-based estimates for the impacts of analytics and data-driven decision-making on SMEs. Analytics increases SMEs’ revenues by 3.6%, and active performance monitoring is key- it’s not just the data, it’s how you use it.

Congrats to Lior @Zalmanson for winning the prestigious ERC starting grant!

[European Research Council (ERC) @ERC_Research]

What does algorithmic management - where software applications take on supervisory tasks in the workplace - mean for how we work?

@Zalmanson's new ERC-funded research @TelAvivUni aims to find out...

Exciting opportunity to hear about the future of AI from this great panel with @sama and @ilyasut at @TelAvivUni ! Fascinating discussions on the future of AI. #AI #OpenAI @OpenAI

[Interledger Foundation @Interledger]

Join ILF grantees: @natalieaxtonn, @Zalmanson, @YotamLiel, and Denny George w. Sarah Rezaei & Hansika Kapoor as panelists as they discuss their research projects on the adoption of Web Monetization and open payments in various groups and communities.

#openpayments

[Interledger Foundation @Interledger]

Is the Web Monetization model suitable for grassroots initiatives and activists operating online?

Check out the insights from the study and experiments done by @Yotamliel and @Zalmanson, in this week’s #granteereport, here: https://t.co/vrg26Jq6L6

Nothing to see here.

Just an AI system learning to strategically plan world conquest, negotiate with humans in English and then betray them via the game of Diplomacy.

Proud of @YotamLiel and @Zalmanson for winning best paper (in the unpublished category) at the ILAIS 2022 conference. Their paper addresses the dynamics of conformity in relation to accepting algorithmic recommendations as-is.

[Information and Tech Management @ Coller TAU @info_mgmt]

#SCECR 2022 was a blast, spending time with colleagues in the wonderful Madrid sun. Our department members have presented four papers in the different sessions on topics ranging from micro influencers to cyberbullying. Super thankful for the organizers! @scecr

[Information and Tech Management @ Coller TAU @info_mgmt]

We were so happy to meet back in person and have @H_DigInnovation with us presenting her fascinating work on Medical doctors engagement with AI systems (co-written with @sarahlebovitz and @NataliaLevina2 ).
