Prediction and explanation, together. Duncan Watts opened our final day with a keynote on “Integrating explanation and prediction in computational social science,” showing how pairing causal insight with predictive testing can push computational social science forward. #ic2s2

Arnout van de Rijt gave Day 2 a strong ending with his keynote, “Luck and success in millions of life courses.” Do early strokes of luck widen life-course income gaps? This keynote offered fresh causal evidence on chance and inequality. #ic2s2

Day 2 Keynotes. How can computational methods sharpen our grasp of culture? In Amir Goldberg’s inspiring keynote, he showed how computational methods reveal hidden cultural patterns. #ic2s2

Day 2 Keynotes kicked off with Laura Nelson's inspiring presentation, “Why Qualitative Research Needs Computational Social Science”. What is the state of this maturing field called qualitative computational methods? What are the ongoing debates and futures? #ic2s2

With record-breaking submissions and our most competitive, gender-balanced program on record, #IC2S2’25 has officially started! Please check the updated program and plan your day. #ic2s2
