Re: [Air-L] AoIR 2019 reflections

It was my first AoIR conference as well Sacha — and I think the best conference I've ever been too. Such a wonderful, truly collegiate atmosphere and excellent papers; kudos and thanks to Jonathan, Axel, Jean, Terry, and all those student volunteers and everyone else who assisted in putting on a wonderful conference!

These may be of interest for those who couldn't make it, or perhaps even for those who could. (These reflections were included in the fortnightly newsletter sent out today by the Centre for Media Transition, where I work. You can see the full newsletter here<https://mailchi.mp/602e3f6a4d31/uts-cmt-newsletter_6_oct_2019>.) Cheers Sacha Sacha Molitorisz, PhD Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Media Transition Faculty of Law University of Technology Sydney Last week I flew to Brisbane for my very first Association of Internet Researchers Conference<https://aoir.org/aoir2019/>, where I learnt three things. One, people in Brisbane don't jaywalk. Two, internet researchers look cool, complete with piercings, tattoos and blue hair. And three, internet researchers are not very positive about the internet. In her keynote address, Macquarie University's Professor Bronwyn Carlson<https://www.mq.edu.au/about_us/faculties_and_departments/faculty_of_arts/de…> detailed the torrent of abuse and vilification that Indigenous Australians cop on social media. Of course, she said, there are benefits too, including for Indigenous sufferers of depression and anxiety, who can connect with others. But on balance, she said, social media is hugely destructive. If she could, she said, she'd pull the plug. On Thursday, Dr Sal Humphreys<https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/sal.humphreys> from the University of Adelaide was glum too. Her research explored whether it's possible for companies to engage in ethical data practice while remaining commercially viable. This wasn't speculative. She was researching on behalf of a company building smartphone games offering in-app purchases, including to children. And her short answer? No. Why act ethically if competitors gain an advantage by acting unethically? Surveillance capitalism wins. "I just don't have any optimism in me about this," Humphreys said. This year's AoIR conference was the 20th. Over those two decades, the internet has changed radically, and changed radically again. I can only guess the mood at AoIR has changed radically too. The people who have spent their lives studying the internet now have big concerns. As several participants noted, it's a question of power. Does the internet serve us, or do we serve it? And if it does serve us, which version of us does it serve? The best version of ourselves, or something more base? On Saturday, Megan Lindsay Brown revealed research showing the connection between tech-based abuse (such as cyberstalking) and real world violence. Partners in an abusive relationship tend to find it hard to leave; tech can make that separation even more difficult. And scholars including Matt Beard, Terry Flew, Tarleton Gillespie and Stuart Cunningham addressed various emerging challenges in regulating digital speech and digital platforms. How do we classify platforms? What laws do we need? But there were lighter moments too. Nancy Baym from Microsoft Research and Limor Shifman from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem revealed their findings about Clippy memes, such as this one. It was a fun session, although, as they said, a joke is never just a joke. Clippy memes often reveal serious concerns about the creepiness of digital assistants. And Stefano Brilli delivered a paper about pornographic exchanges on Italian private group chats. On some of these sites, he said, you can be banned for blasphemy. Hardcore is fine; disrespecting the deity is not. Out of it all, though, there was one bright ray of optimism. And that's the collaborative spirit of the researchers, who revealed a consistent commitment to sharing ideas, furthering knowledge and improving the net, and through it the world. In my case, this was particularly true of Charles Ess<https://uio.academia.edu/CharlesEss>. He's a giant of digital media ethics, so you might expect someone preoccupied, if not aloof. Instead, he turned out to be unfailingly helpful and personable. In its early years, the internet was touted as the ultimate expression of people power. Sadly, it isn't always turning out that way. But at least the researchers who study it still embody that democratising spirit. And in that vein, a huge shout out to the wonderful efforts of Jonathan Hutchinson, Axel Bruns, Jean Burgess, Terry Flew and everyone else at QUT and AoIR who hosted and organised. As Tama Leaver noted in a tweet, "Airport bound, thanks to everyone at #AoIR2019<https://twitter.com/hashtag/AoIR2019?src=hashtag_click> for confirming that it's never just a conference, it's a community". Indeed, and community is just what the net needs now.

Over the last few decades the introduction of digital technologies to elections has opened up a raft of new attack vectors. Recently, US has placed voting technologies on the list of national, critical infrastructures. Secure voting protocols, in particular so-called end-to-end verifiable schemes, have been a hot topic of research for the last decade or so. Voting poses many challenges: the precise characterization of subtle properties including verifiability and coercion resistance, accountability etc. and the design and analysis of schemes providing these properties in a complex, hostile environment. The field requires a deep understanding of modern crypto and information security but is also highly interdisciplinary, requiring understanding of the role of humans, physical components, procedures, legal and regulatory aspects etc. ----------------------------------------------------- Submissions Papers should contain original research in any area related to electronic voting technologies, verifiable elections, and related concerns. Example topics include but are not limited to: In-person voting systems Remote/Internet voting systems Voter registration and authentication systems Procedures for ballot and election auditing Cryptographic (or non-cryptographic) verifiable election schemes Attacks on existing systems Trust models Designs of new systems Experiences deploying voting systems or conducting elections Experiences detecting and recovering from election problems Formal or informal security or requirements analysis Examination of usability and accessibility issues Research on relevant regulations, standards and laws Papers describing experiences deploying voting systems, conducting elections, or detecting and recovering from election problems are welcome, so long as they include enough rigorous analysis to constitute original research. Submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity. The workshop solicits submissions of manuscripts that represent significant and novel research contributions. Submissions must not substantially overlap with works that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should follow the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format and should be no more than 15 pages including references and well-marked appendices. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Authors who seek to submit their works to journals may opt-out by publishing an extended abstract only. Short papers with a length of maximal 8 pages, will also be accepted as submissions this year, and can be used to introduce work in progress, novel applications, and voting experiences. These submissions must be clearly marked "Short papers:". Also "Systemization of Knowledge" papers will be accepted and have a page limit of 15 pages but *excluding* references. These should be marked "SoK:". All submissions will be reviewed double-blind, and as such, must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voting20 ----------------------------------------------------- Important dates Submission deadline: 18 November 2019 AoE Notification of acceptance: 16 December 2019. ----------------------------------------------------- Chairs: Matt Bernhard (University of Michigan) Peter Roenne (University of Luxembourg) Program Committee: Roberto Araujo (Universidade Federal do Pará) Josh Benaloh (Microsoft Research) Véronique Cortier (CNRS, Loria) Chris Culnane (University of Melbourne) Jeremy Epstein (SRI International) Aleksander Essex (Western University) Josh Franklin (OutStack Technologies) Kristian Gjøsteen (Norwegian Univ. of Science and Technology) Rajeev Gore (The Australian National University) Rolf Haenni (Bern University of Applied Sciences) Reto Koenig (Bern University of Applied Sciences) Steve Kremer (INRIA Nancy) Robert Krimmer (Tallinn University of Technology) Oksana Kulyk (IT University of Copenhagen) Olivier Pereira (Universite catholique de Louvain) Mark Ryan (University of Birmingham) Peter Y.A.

Text Data in Marketing: Data Sources, Linguistic Features, and Software Programs
by Astvansh, Vivek 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Dear Internet Researchers: I am delivering a demo to my department faculty, titled: Text Data in Marketing: Data Sources, Linguistic Features, and Software Programs. I request you to critique my coverage and suggest changes/additions. As the title indicates, I will cover the following three aspects: 1. Show, via an example, text data in marketing: a. firm-generated (e.g., earnings calls) b. consumer/user-generated text data (e.g., Twitter) c. other-generated, marketing-relevant text data. Other could include market stakeholders (competitors, suppliers, organizational customers) and nonmarket stakeholders (news media, consumer organizations, regulators, legislators) I will take the example of the Volkswagen emissions scandal and show how this event led to text data generated by Volkswagen and its varied marketing stakeholders. I will mention various secondary data sources that my colleagues can use to obtain/buy text data. If you know of any other source, or an example more insightful than Volkswagen, please help me. 2. I will then proceed to discuss linguistic features of the text. These features include sentiment, emotion, cognition, named entities, readability, subjectivity, structural complexity, lexical complexity, and topic modeling/mining. I choose these features because I have used them in my research and can talk about them. If you know of any other useful feature that I am missing, please respond. 3. Software programs, both paid (e.g., LIWC) and free R/Python libraries, that take text as input and output the above linguistic features. I will start with LIWC, explain its variables from psychological standpoint. I will then demo syuzhet and sentimentr showing how their output variables offer new and different insights relative to LIWC. I will mention other R and Py packages such as TensorFlow, MXNet, and TextBlob). I will demo MALLET GUI for topic modeling. I will then mention how researchers can use MTurk to annotate their text data and then write a classifier (or hire a Py programmer to write it for them). If you know of any paid software program (that is as easy to use as LIWC) or any other R/Py package, please suggest. Thank you!
