31 Jul '23

Third International Conference on Digital Data Processing University of Bedfordshire Luton. UK November 27-29, 2023 Hybrid mode- Virtual/Physical www.socio.org.uk/ddp IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings (Xplore) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organisation or industry processes over a few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyse and process data more efficiently, where Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. Data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, studying data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies is a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous; they do not sufficiently solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that require further consideration. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data Publications The IEEE Xplore will publish the DDP papers. Besides modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2. Technologies 3. Data Technologies and Applications 4. Journal of Digital Information Management 5. International Journal of Computational Linguistics 6.

Looking for Right Wing and Extremist Forums for Web Scraping
by Rod Graham 29 Jul '23

29 Jul '23

Does anyone know of a web forum (or even an open-to-the-public Facebook or Reddit page) where Right and Far-Right politics are being discussed? These are remarkably hard to find! I am looking for spaces that have been in operation for at least a few years so I can chart changes over time. Roderick Graham

Re: [Air-L] Studies on Meta and partisanship
by Marco T. Bastos 28 Jul '23

"But [it] neither affected people's existing political attitudes or polarization." Unless I'm missing something, in order for the study to have found the algorithms to be consequential the participants should have started attending protests or rallies, signing petitions, contributing money to candidates, or trying to convince people to vote. They expected these changes to take place within the 3-month period of the study, which also happened during an election cycle. Participants didn't start giving money to politicians nor started protesting and therefore the algorithm "doesn't affect people's existing political attitudes or polarization." That’s for H3. H1 is based on the “issue polarization scale” that measures attitudes towards immigration, healthcare, unemployment, COVID-19 restrictions et caterva. H2 sets similarly high bars for election knowledge. The study expected significant changes to opinion on immigration or election knowledge within this 3-month period when users were given a respite from the algorithms. Meanwhile they also found that the algorithms increased exposure to uncivil content and removed political content, particularly content from moderate friends and ideologically mixed audiences. And yes, the algorithm was found to dramatically increase time spent on FB and IG. It also seems that these conclusions are drawn from a convenience sample of just over 20K participants. Lastly, removing the algorithms decreased exposure to both cross-cutting and like-minded sources, but the effect on the latter is twice as large as the effect on the former (i.e., the algorithms maximize exposure to like-minded content more so than cross-cutting). And yet, “it neither affected people's existing political attitudes or polarization." Surely I must’ve missed something. -- mtb -----Original Message----- Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 16:39:01 -0400 From: Joly MacFie <joly(a)punkcast.com> To: aoir list <air-l(a)aoir.org> Subject: [Air-L] Studies on Meta and partisanship > From POLITICO's Digital Future Daily <https://www.politico.com/newsletters/digital-future-daily> The article does not link to the studies.

CfP: Tech work and its discontens
by Gnisa, Felix (ITAS) 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Dear colleagues, we are happy to invite you to submit papers for a special issue of Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation on tech worker and political mobilization in the tech industry. The deadline for submissions is November 30th. For further information see the link and call below: https://wolg.wordpress.com/special-issues/call-for-papers-tech-work-and-its… All best, Felix Gnisa Call for papers: Tech work and its discontents The expansion of tech companies in recent decades has changed the role and perception of their workforces. With the growing market power of corporations such as Amazon, Google and Tencent, the figure of the software engineer has received much attention. From industry narratives to pop culture, software engineers and other IT employees are portrayed as (generally male) techno-prodigies enabling futuristic endeavours such as the automation of work or artificial intelligence (Daub, 2020). However, the shiny figure of the tech or software employee has stood in striking contrast to the surging number of warehouse workers, platform gig workers or content moderators - often subsumed under the term 'digital workers' - who mostly toil under precarious conditions for these same companies (Irani, 2015; Huws, 2019). To date there has been no generally agreed definition of what kind of labour the term 'tech work' actually refers to, representing something of a lacuna in the literature. While some scholars only label highly qualified workers in the tech sector as 'tech workers' (eg Dorschel, 2022, Selling/Strimling 2023), others stress the commonalities of IT workers across sectors (eg Ziegler, 2022). Both perspectives raise the question what role and power tech workers effectively hold within current capitalist economies, and how their ambivalent class position materializes in the workplace (Roy 2021). Research in the traditions of workers' consciousness studies and class theory has shown that the conception of 'tech work' is important for comprehending workers' self-understanding, subjectivities and culture in relation to their actual class position. In addition to this more analytical debate, there have also been major shifts in the image and material reality of tech work in the context of the recent economic crisis, the rise of authoritarian politics and struggles over the regulation of platforms and of AI. Even the higher-paid layers of the tech industry have faced a series of conflicts, protests and unionisation campaigns (Tarnoff, 2020; Jaffe, 2021; Tan & Weigel, 2022). More and more employees in the industry now deliberately refer to themselves as tech workers, signalling a shift towards a more class-conscious self-understanding. Large parts of the tech workers' movement also emphasise how their efforts are tied to the struggles of low-income service workers in the industry (Tarnoff, 2020). Currently tech workers' organisation has evolved around typical labour issues (working time, fair pay and health or safety issues), but also around feminist, anti-fascist and socialist demands. From feminist organising at the Google walkouts of 2019 to organising against climate change, racism and border regimes, a variety of issues have come up. Furthermore, tech workers have questioned the social effects of digital technology and thereby also their role as technical professionals in reproducing social inequality. All of these issues are raising important questions relating to the debate between traditional trade union issues versus more political issues (social justice and common good) as well as the relationships between white collar workers and unions in tech (Rothstein, 2022). Such developments have stirred a range of questions. From the dynamics and specificities of tech workers' organisation, the question whether tech work has become 'proletarianised' (Steinhoff, 2022), to the defining characteristics of 'tech', its corporations and workers. The current rise of labour conflicts in the industry also raises questions about its labour history (Haeyoung, 2021), about the relation to trade unions and about possible emancipatory horizons for the field and beyond. Another important dimension concerns the ways in which these issues are shaped by mobility patterns and migration regimes (Xiang, 2011; Amrute, 2016). The call In this special issue, we want to examine these aspects and address the following questions: § How should we understand the field of 'tech' and its terminology (tech work, tech company, tech industry)? How is this terminology suitable for understanding current configurations of capitalism and its dynamics, especially in regard to its underpinning workforce? § How have the working and employment conditions of tech workers changed in recent years? To what extent are these workers benefiting from workplace privileges or being affected by insecure contracts and poor working conditions? § What have been the impacts on tech workers of the crisis in the tech industry and associated layoffs? § How have tech workers around the world been organising in recent years? How can the debate between traditional trade union issues versus more political issues (social justice and common good) be understood? What are the relationships between white collar workers and unions in tech? § What is the composition of the tech workforce? What are its gendered aspects and what impacts do they have? How does the role of software engineers and other tech workers differ in various parts of the world? How do mobility patterns and migration regimes (visa policies, entry barriers) shape the work, self-understanding and organising of tech workers? § Which attitudes, orientations and collective forms of consciousness do tech workers develop as wage earners, professionals and political subjects? How are these linked to forms of organisation and interest politics? § How have ideologies and the production of subjectivity in the tech industry changed? What are the continuities and ruptures of 'Californian Ideology' (Barbrook/Cameron 1996)? Have they changed since the rise of new right-wing movements around the world and their entanglements with tech firms? § Which emancipatory perspectives on tech work arise from the current conflicts around labour in the field and beyond? We welcome articles from a range of disciplinary perspectives including (but not limited to) labour sociology, organisation studies, political economy, social anthropology, economic geography, policy analysis and gender studies. Articles may draw on the authors' original quantitative, qualitative or theoretical research but must demonstrate a clear contribution to knowledge and go beyond mere literature reviews. The editors This special issue will be edited by Felix Gnisa, research assistant at Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Valentin Niebler, doctoral researcher at Humboldt University of Berlin, Sandra Sieron, research assistant at Humboldt University of Berlin and Helene Thaa, research assistant at University of Basel. The Journal Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation is an independent, international, interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, founded in 2006. For more information please see https://wolg.wordpress.com<https://wolg.wordpress.com/> All submitted articles are subjected to double-blind peer review. Deadline and Guidelines The deadline for submissions is November 30th, 2023. The article should be no longer than 6,000 words (excluding footnotes and bibliography).

UK. November 27-29, 2023 https://socio.org.uk/ddp/workshop (IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings, and papers should follow the IEEE template) AI models use billions of parameters to detect and retrieve text and images. The currently available LL models are experimented with for their efficiency, and at the same time, newer models are being developed. There are many challenges associated with generative AI. The pre-training volume and efficiency are a focus. To leverage the training set with comprehensiveness and accuracy, billions of parameters are injected into the LLM. Current GPTs face criticism, and governments issue a caution to their use. For example, Zhuang Rongwen, China’s cyberspace chief, raises concerns over the power of generative AI and pledges to make it ‘controllable'. The agenda for the future Generative AI is not clear. Improved generative tools should be capable of characterising extremist narratives in corpora to reveal different contexts, which may lead to building semantic-rich content for end-users. Testing the current models and their results may contribute to future research. Considering these issues, we framed a workshop to address the theme, Next Generation Models.

Call for participation (responses requested by August 11): October Tech & Society Symposium on the Roles Funders Play in Digital/Data Rights, Justice, Equity, and Inclusion
by Becky Lentz 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Dear AOIR Colleagues, As the COVID-19 pandemic made clear, being online has become essential to everyday life worldwide. Yet, while the digital world seems here to stay, to what extent do we get to choose to be part of it, or not? What are the risks of being either online or offline? Being online carries many harms and risks <https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/ai-bill-of-rights/> associated with misinformation, surveillance, artificial intelligence (AI), datafication, discrimination, tracking, profiling, etc. Being offline, whether by choice or circumstance, means being cut off from essential services and also experiencing social isolation. And what are the necessary protections or remedies to address these risks or harms? Globally, these are the concerns of those working to advance digital/data rights <https://digitalfreedomfund.org/digital-rights-for-all/>, justice <https://www.weforum.org/whitepapers/pathways-to-digital-justice/>, equity <https://ctu.ieee.org/what-is-digital-equity/>, and inclusion <https://www.un.org/techenvoy/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/general/Defin…>. And all of these efforts require funding. Yet the issue of “funding” is often the "elephant in the room”. An important concern for everyone, but something many don’t talk about. This is likely because, as experts <https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo23530413.html> have noted, “Philanthropy is everywhere…[It] is not just a beneficent activity or a funding mechanism. It can also be a form of power”. For example in the U.S.: A September 2022 report <https://bit.ly/46UvOx0> examining U.S. philanthropic giving toward digital equity found that in spite of the pandemic highlighting the urgency of addressing digital inequity, philanthropic funding in this space has largely remained stagnant. According to the report, “Funding for digital equity makes up less than 1% of overall giving by large foundations”. We invite you to join the RGK Center at the LBJ School of Public Affairs in co-creating a timely, inclusive, and robust exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives to build and share knowledge together about the many roles funders play in the fields of digital/data rights, justice, equity, and inclusion worldwide. Our questions include: · What is the state of scholarship on the roles funders (governmental, corporate, or philanthropic) have been playing to help prevent or remedy the many risks and harms of living in a digital society? · What are lessons learned, success stories, and best practices related to funding in these fields? What’s working and what’s not? What challenges have funders and grantseekers faced? · What should funders focus on next, why, and how? Our goals invite collaboration to… · Identify under-resourced types of interventions necessary to keep people safe in a digital society. · Generate ideas about how to strengthen and expand equitable access to funding ecosystems to advance the fields of digital/data rights, justice, equity, and inclusion worldwide. · Initiate collaborations that build, share, and mobilize necessary knowledge to inform governmental, corporate, and philanthropic investments in these fields of work. We seek a wide variety of participants (scholars, policy advocates, community leaders, public officials, technologists, policymakers, journalists, funders, etc.) from the following sectors: · Government (public sector) · Corporate (private sector) · Social sector (civil society/civic sector) I hope we will have the privilege of your involvement in our effort to catalyze and connect conversations about the funding ecosystems needed to support those working to advance digital/data rights, justice, equity, and inclusion not just in the U.S., but globally.

The extensive update includes the launch of a new website, which enables easier data access, the publication of a data paper, which gives a holistic overview of building the PGA, and the release of an updated dataset, which widens the scope of the PGA to cover more platforms and policies. > > The power of social media platforms has been a focal point of critical discussion and research ? long before Musk took over Twitter. Platforms corporate policies are a key measure of the way platforms govern and order public discourse as they articulate which kind of content and conduct is allowed and prohibited on their services. These rulebooks are the subject of the Platform Governance Archive (PGA), an open-access repository of platform policies which aims to enable collaborative research on/critical engagement with how and when and why platforms are changing their rules founded by the Alexander von Humboldt Institut for Internet and Society (HIIG) and now hosted at the University of Bremen. > > The need for the systematic study of platform policies > > When first launched in April 2021, the PGA emerged out of the need to systematically study the historical evolution of platform policies and due to the lack of coherently collected data in this area, which did not rely on the platforms? own corporate archives. The resulting PGA v1 dataset <https://www.platformgovernancearchive.org/data/dataset-pga-v1-historical-da…>contains all historical versions of the Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and Privacy Policies by Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram (with the exception of YouTube?s Community Guidelines) from the time when they were first introduced through late 2021. > > New download option and data paper > > The dataset was built through a combination of automated and manual approaches of data collection and data cleaning which are explained in detail in our newly published data paper <https://doi.org/10.26092/elib/2331>. The paper also lays out the conceptual set up of the PGA and gives a detailed overview of the specificities of the included policies as well as some of the general trends and patterns which run through the historical evolution of the PGA v1 corpus. > > As part of the new PGA website <https://www.platformgovernancearchive.org/>, the dataset is now available as a direct download <https://github.com/PlatformGovernanceArchive/pga-corpus/releases/>. Overall, the corpus of the PGA v1 contains 153 policy documents with a total of 6,036 pages, which are provided in PDF, HTML and Markdown formats. The downloadable archive furthermore contains additional material and tools that were used in the data collection process. > > Collaboration with Open Terms Archive: New dataset includes more platforms and policies > > With the relaunch of PGA, we are also publishing a new dataset <https://www.platformgovernancearchive.org/data/dataset-pga-v2-ongoing-colle…> which widens the scope of the PGA to cover 18 platforms and currently 79 policies. The dataset is generated in collaboration with Open Terms Archive <https://opentermsarchive.org/> (OTA), an open source initiative which is dedicated to increase the transparency and democratic oversight of digital services. > > The timeline of the PGA v2 dataset goes back to April 2022 and is automatically updated on a daily basis to enable the continuous tracking of changes in the selected policies. Whenever a change is made to one of the tracked policies, the system stores a snapshot to a Github repository where the change can be examined by ways of a change visualisation. The dataset can also be downloaded as a bulk download as an archive of Markdown files. > > Funding for the PGA has been provided by the hosting institutions as well as by different partners and funding schemes such as the EU Horizon 2020 project reCreating Europe <https://www.recreating.eu/>, Wikimedia Deutschland and the Data Science Center (DSC) at the University of Bremen. > > Future directions > > In the future, the PGMT Lab will continue developing the PGA by merging the historical dataset with the ongoing data collection into an integrated dataset. The roadmap also includes the addition of more platforms and more language versions. The PGA has been used for a growing body of research on platform policies <https://www.platformgovernancearchive.org/research/> and enables researchers, journalists and the public to answer questions on the historical evolution of platform policies. > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 10:24:11 +0100 > From: Cristian Vaccari <cristian.vaccari(a)gmail.com> > To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org > Subject: [Air-L] Job opportunity - Research Associate on the Everyday > Misinformation Project (Part-time from September 2023 until February > 2024) > Message-ID: > <CANbKZGtpEgBcKB492NNuvSEMMH=XFZqfhx_xDVjwx9Rw0DLoWQ(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > Dear colleagues, > > > > We are recruiting a Research Associate to assist us in the final phase of > the Everyday Misinformation Project (https://everyday-mis.info/) > Information on the post is available below and at > https://vacancies.lboro.ac.uk/tlive_webrecruitment/wrd/run/ETREC107GF.open?… > . > > > > Please feel free to share this information with anyone whom you think may > be interested. > > > > *Postdoctoral Research Associate (Everyday Misinformation Project)* > > > > *Part-time (0.6 FTE/ 22 hours per week) and fixed term from 18th September > 2023 until 29th February 2024* > > > > The Online Civic Culture Centre (O3C) at Loughborough University is seeking > to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to > work with Professor Andrew Chadwick and Professor Cristian Vaccari on the > Leverhulme-funded *Everyday Misinformation Project* ( > http://everyday-mis.info) > > > > This is a part-time (0.6 FTE) postdoctoral research role that runs until > February 29, 2024.

Theories and methods that can make a difference?, a hybrid workshop at CSCW 2023 (https://cscw.acm.org/2023/) October 15 in Minneapolis, MN, USA. > > This one-day hybrid workshop builds on previous feminist CSCW workshops to explore feminist theoretical and methodological approaches in HCI. Since its inception over a decade ago, feminist HCI has progressed from the margins to mainstream HCI. While feminist approaches have grown in popularity and become mainstream, it is getting more difficult to distinguish the feminist emancipatory core from other attempts of developing and improving society in various ways. In this workshop, we therefore want to revisit our feminist roots, where theory is a liberatory and creative practice, motivated by affect, curiosity, and wonder. The goal of this workshop is to; 1) create an inventory of feminist theories and concepts that have had an impact on our work as designers, educators, researchers, and activists; 2) develop a feminist toolbox for the CSCW community to strengthen our feminist literacy. > > Call for paper: > To participate, submit a 2-4 pages position paper where you suggest one or more feminist theories and methods that have been useful in your previous research. Describe the theory/method and explain how you have used them.
