Big news! 🎉 Our colleague @aytalina.bsky.social has been elected International Liaison of the @icacm.bsky.social! 🌍👏We’re thrilled to see her representing and connecting the global #CompMethods community. compcommlab.univie.ac.at/news-detaila...

Please consider taking the survey below about researcher preparedness to address data ethics issues

If you ran into me, @cfiesler.bsky.social or @vitak.bsky.social at #ICA25 you likely heard about the PERVADE Project and our current work assessing researcher preparedness to address data ethics issues in their work. ICA members can take the survey here: marquette.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

It’s a wrap! On this final day of #ica25, we have both @jbgruber.bsky.social and @vanatteveldt.com presenting in the open science and data access session of @icacm.bsky.social. If you have not left Denver yet, be sure to check them out 🚀

It's the last day of #ICA25! We hope you'll join us at today's Computational Methods panels. We're looking forward to sessions on polarization, data access, and sentiment

@vanatteveldt.com presents a new Dutch stance detection datasets and makes important points that are often neglected in sentiment analyses in communication research #ica25

One person, R Studio, live coding. This is such a beautiful way to do tool demo by @jbgruber.bsky.social #ica25

@jbgruber.bsky.social kicking off @icacm.bsky.social 's tool demo session, and the best thing is: everything is on github! github.com/JBGruber/ica... - check it out if you need to scrape news or retrieve tiktok data and want sth that just works! #ica25

Good morning #COMMSky from #ICA25! 🌞 If you have time from 3:00 PM to 5:45 PM, feel free to join us at our presentations! 🗣 @nibasaleem.bsky.social will be presenting an Intergroup Communication top paper! @garciaerick.bsky.social will be presenting on Risk, Race and Algorithms @icacat.bsky.social!

More great #ICA25 Computational Methods panels coming up today! We hope you'll join us today for sessions on network analysis, computational tools, news analysis, data donation, and data collection

Grateful and happy my Master‘s thesis work – with fantastic supervision from @fhopp.bsky.social – received a Top Student Paper award from @icacm.bsky.social at ICA! :))

@cfiesler.bsky.social is giving us such a wonderful tour of the duality of the Internet. Some great lessons for how we as a research community need to deeply consider the ethics and relationality in our work. For whom are we doing this, and how does this make things better? #ica25

🚀 Very happy (and proud!) that rockstar @michelleschimmel.bsky.social received a top student paper for her MSc thesis, which I had the pleasure to supervise. Excited to see this work out soon!

Hey #ica25, introducing The Mobile Observation of Advertising Toolkit, a new app for capturing ads in the wild from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, & YouTube. @icacm.bsky.social Data Collection Tools & Datasets Sunday 15th | 4:30 PM - 5:45 PM | Colorado B (Grand 2) @internetobservatory.org.au

Looking for an interesting session on this second afternoon of #ICA25? @damiantrilling.net is presenting the project "Bias in Online Vaccination Content Using Machine Learning" in a high-density session @icacm.bsky.social. Go check it out!

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: 🧵

Today's #ICA25 Computational Methods panels cover topics of algorithmic bias, genAI for content analysis, social media analysis, gender bias, and misinformation Looking forward to seeing you there!

Yesss Patrick!!!! Fearless leader of #hackica25

We hope you’ll join us for the Computational Methods division reception! 6-8pm tonight at West Saloon maps.app.goo.gl/MeASaNpAjmcN...

We particularly hope you'll join us for the Computational Methods business meeting (4:30 Mineral F Regency 3) and the Computational Methods reception (6pm West Saloon: westofsurrender.com) GRAD STUDENTS: you don't need secret knowledge to join these events. Just come, hang out, and be our friend! 💜

Patrick walks us through some of the highlights of the #ICA25 @hackingcommsci.bsky.social preconference Over 50 participants engaging in 16 projects!

Chair of the Computational Methods Division, Matthew Weber kicks off our business meeting. Happening now in Regency 3 Mineral F

Brilliant scholar @shugars.bsky.social is our discussant. They highlighted some key trends, noting that many panelists raised similar question, including "when and how is it appropriate to use LLMs?" They also mention inequality challenges with using closed-source and expensive models.

We round the panel out with work by @damiantrilling.net on LLM agents. He and his team conduct 3 studies, some of which are fully simulated and some that are more hybrid. #ica25 @icacm.bsky.social

@zeningduan.bsky.social presenting his work with the Social Media & Democracy research group at @uwsjmc.bsky.social. In the study, they use an LLM to annotate accounts for different roles, which they validate with manual coding. Zero shot was good, few shot was better.

Miyoung Chong presents her work with @smithmarisaa.bsky.social and Om Sai on using LLMs for stance detection (zero and few-shot). They apply this to the case of CRT discourse.

Longhan Wei presents his work with Tian Yang looking at ChatGPT users and their online behavior, showing a possible amplification effect. #ica25 @icacm.bsky.social

Torie Kim (my student!!) presenting our work on using open source LLMs (who talk to each other) to label text data. #ica25 @icacm.bsky.social

Standing room only at @zeningduan.bsky.social and @alvinyxz.bsky.social 's @icacm.bsky.social panel on LLMs #ica25

Excited to be serving as discussant for this @icacm.bsky.social panel on Generative AI for computational communication research #ICA25

Such a fascinating set of presentations today at @icacm.bsky.social's Advances and Best Practices in Text Classification. Grateful for the thoughtful conversation around the validity and reliability of these approaches which ate critical for the downstream analyses we rely on. #ica25

Meta-observation from very interesting #ica25 @icajsd.bsky.social panel on AI credibility in journalism: many scholars seem to see a future with journalism relying on AI-generated content (though distinguishing between e.g. AI for clerical tasks and independent content generation).1/2

Advances and Best Practices in Text Classification starting soon in Centennial A on the 3rd floor of the Regency

I'm pretty happy to present our work on using VLLMs to achieve semantic clustering at #ica25. (Centennial A at 9.00 if you are curious ;-))

Today marks the first day of #ICA25, and we're proud to share that the J-TEAM is well represented in the @icajsd.bsky.social & @icacm.bsky.social divisions! Stay tuned each morning for updates on our members’ presentations and panels. Let’s go! 💪📢

Excited to kick off #ICA25 with many great computational methods sessions today! Today's topics include multimodal analysis, text classification, data donation. semantic network analysis, and gen AI Be sure to also swing by our poster session, business meeting, and reception!

Had a fantastic time at my first hackathon learning lots of new things from some amazing researchers! #hackica25 #ica25

Good morning, Denver! #ICA25

We're so excited for #ICA25 to begin! Welcome to those who have already arrived and safe travels for those on the way.

We are up and running follow our new profile for the Computational Methods Division of ICA! 🤖

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! 👇👇👇

Hello world!
