This week, we have @lorenzspreen.bsky.social visiting our lab. He presented his work on disinformation classification and toxicity in group discussions on Reddit. He also has a new CSS group, check it out: css-synosys.github.io

📩 Contact our SEC Rep Aditi Dutta at [email protected] to share leads, volunteer, or ask questions. This hackathon is a fantastic way to meet collaborators, learn by building together, and make #ICA26 even better.

Very happy to see that @overbye.bsky.social’s fantastic work on detecting bias in human-in-the-loop algorithms was awarded a top paper in @icacsab.bsky.social this year. Incredibly interesting, rigorous, and timely research! #ica25

PhD or Postdoc looking at the grim job market? Join Sunday 12:00 for an alternative career path workshop with the amazing danah boyd @zephoria.bsky.social, Katie Gach and Steven Tompson. Thank you to @icasecac.bsky.social @ceciliazhou.bsky.social @danijaradent.bsky.social for this event! #ica25

And last, but certainly not least, huge congratulations to Dr. Anke Stoll who received the Best Dissertation Award for her impressive dissertation “Machine learning for automated content analysis of incivility in online discussion” #ICA25 Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

At yesterday's business meeting of the Computational Methods Division, we recognized outstanding scholarship in the discipline at #ICA25 Please join us in thanking the awards committees and celebrating the winners: 🧵

This year's #ica25 hackathon was a blast! A huge thank you to @hackingcommsci.bsky.social for making it a reality! With 13 other great participants, we explored +2 million of Telegram messages around the 2024 US election. I can really recommend checking out the data! dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1...

The best start into a conference 😎

From text-as-data to sleep data collection, this year‘s #hackica25 in Boulder, CO, was a blast and we‘re proud to say that we‘ve (again) successfully hacked communication science. Thanks to all participants and see y‘all at #ica25 ✨

A great photo of @rachaelkee.bsky.social inspiring us with her brilliant ideas for a sleep and media data donation app. KEEp your eye out for her at #ica25

@rachaelkee.bsky.social blowing us all away with her project at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social. Super impressive project with the goal of collecting high-throughput sleep and media data ✨😴📺 #ICA25

Already using AI tools in coding or thinking about it? Here‘s @patrickparschan.bsky.social giving us an introduction to Cursor 👀

We’re thrilled to see MNL represented at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social! Huge thanks to @jacobtfisher.online and @kyliewoodman.bsky.social for organizing another fantastic hackathon and sharing valuable comm sci insights such as using GitHub and running fMRI analyses. #hackica25 #ica25

Looking forward to @kyliewoodman.bsky.social explaining how brain imaging fits into comms research at #hackica25 🧠🧠

Great presentation by @kyliewoodman.bsky.social on fMRI analysis at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social. I am always blown away by how clearly Kylie is able explain complex topics #ICA25

Hello world!

Whoop whoop we’re ready to get started!

Welcome to #hackica25 & #ica25 everyone! We‘re starting the morning with our project pitches. Big thanks to @kyliewoodman.bsky.social for designing our awesome stickers again! 💛🧡❤️

So many great Computational Methods sessions coming up at #ICA25!! Check them out, and we look forward to seeing you there! 👇👇👇

Kicking off our fourth(!) annual #hackica this year at @colorado.edu. This is always the highlight of ICA. Super excited to get hacking! #hackica25

Arrived yesterday in Denver for #ICA25 and already look forward to #hackica25 in Boulder (although not to the early busride...).

Thanks to our Git master @jacobtfisher.online for giving a workshop on version control with Git and GitHub 🙌

A federal wealth tax could raise half a trillion dollars for Canada. Extreme wealth concentration is damaging our economy and society. Taxing the super-rich could fund transformative public investments to build a stronger, more resilient Canada. New report: bcpolicy.ca/wealth-tax

Interview bei ZEIT ONLINE: Hat die SPD die Arbeiter verloren, weil sie zu viel über das Bürgergeld redet? Unsinn, findet der Soziologe Linus Westheuser. Die SPD brauche ein völlig anderes Konzept. Sie muss bereit sein, sich mit den ökonomischen Eliten anzulegen. www.zeit.de/politik/deut...

#Homeownership #WealthInequality #SocialMobility #Housing #Sociology 🏠 Who gets to own a home – and why? New study by @jaschadraeger.bsky.social @nrmllr.bsky.social and klauspforr.bsky.social shows: ➡️ #Inheritances & family gifts – even just expected – strongly influence who buys property.

All praise to @seanhp.bsky.social @isaacbravo.bsky.social for producing and presenting this fantastic paper! Check out the results and the R adaptation of CodeCarbon on linktr.ee/comptext25

I would be happy to see many from #COMPTEXT at our workshop VaLiSTAD in Copenhagen @ ICWSM in June to discuss the validation of social science TADA/ML methods (🔜 abstract deadline May 5). Please feel free to say hi and ask me or @indiiigo.bsky.social about this new workshop format ⬇️

Excellent presentation by @seanhp.bsky.social and @isaacbravo.bsky.social about the environmental impact of using LLMs for text analysis and the tradeoff between accuracy and sustainability. Now I‘m quite afraid to calculate the footprint of my research. 🙈 #COMPTEXT2025

Presented my work on ideal point estimation from text data at #COMPTEXT2025. Let me know if you wanna talk about ideal points or whatever you fancy. Forgot to take a photo while presenting, so here is one of my back (green shirt) sitting in the crowd while @haukelicht.bsky.social is talking.

Union & SPD wollen 27,5 Mrd. an die reichsten 10 Prozent verteilen. Statt Steuergeschenke für die Reichsten braucht es endlich eine gerechte Besteuerung von Reichtum! Wir unterstützen den Aufruf von Attac, Oxfam, Greenpeace u.a. für ein gerechtes Steuersystem: https://gleft.de/68q

Die neue Regierung plant Politik für die reichsten 1 Prozent

Interessant. Einige dieser glorreichen Akteure spielen eine große Rolle in unserer Recherche mit @elenakolb.bsky.social und @katahuth.bsky.social. Und die INSM ist finanziert von den Arbeitgeberverbänden der Metall- und Elektroindustrie, also der Autoindustrie. correctiv.org/aktuelles/kl...
