fake news

Hello All ! Following this very interesting discussion, I would like to ask if "fake titles" or "fake headlines" is a part of the fake news issue. Biased news headlines is not a new issue (http://umich.edu/~newsbias/he adlines.html) as many people don't bother reading the whole article, and also because the writer of the article is not always responsible of the headlines! *Regards, * *Yohanan Ouaknine * *PhD candidate * *Bar Ilan university, Israel* On Sun, Jan 1, 2017 at 10:53 PM, kalev leetaru < kalev.leetaru5(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Robert, that's actually one of the fascinating aspects of all of this - how > you define " > > fake news".

Re: [Air-L] Social Media and Self Branding
by Karin Hansson 07 Jan '17

Thanks Adam, I just want to add that also among culture workers self-branding in social media is not necessarily the normal. In my study of young Swedish artists communication practices, self-branding was seen as something ”real" artist shouldn’t engage in. Social media was used foremost as a way to keep track of relations established IRL. http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/5626 <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/5626> . I am looking forward to see the result of your Instagram study.

This finding is backed up by our interviews (about 50 so far). So maybe self branding is not the normal or default way of using social media, maybe its just the way social media are used by a small and highly visible (and easy to study) 'elite', that media researchers have paid a disproportionate amount of attention to.

9th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence (ICCCI 2017): Third Call for Papers and Special Sessions & Workshops Proposals
by Announce Announcements 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

*** Third Call for Papers and Special Sessions & Workshops Proposals *** 9th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence ICCCI 2017 Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus 27 - 29 September, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… Computational Collective Intelligence is most often understood as an AI subfield dealing with soft computing methods which enable making group decisions or processing knowledge among autonomous units acting in distributed environments. Web-based systems, social networks and multi-agent systems very often need these tools for working out consistent knowledge states, resolving conflicts and making decisions. ICCCI 2017 is the 9th edition of the conference organized by the University of Cyprus and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland, in cooperation with the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Collective Intelligence. The aim of the conference is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective intelligence and their applications in (but not limited to) such fields as group decision making, consensus computing, knowledge integration, semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems. Instructions to Authors Prospective authors of papers are invited to submit contributions for presentations at ICCCI 2017. The submissions should present the results of original research or innovative practical applications relevant to the conference topics. Practical experiences with state-of-the-art in CCI methodologies are also acceptable to reflect lessons of unique value for the conference attendees. Contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review process. The conference language is English. The conference proceedings of ICCCI 2017 will be published in the prestigious Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series by Springer and indexed by ISI(CPCI-S), Web of Science, EI, Scopus, DBLP, ACM Digital Library. All submissions should follow the LNCS/LNAI style and not exceed 10 pages. At least one full registration is required for each accepted paper in order to be included in the ICCCI 2017 proceedings. Each paper is to be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through EasyChair at http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… . To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the ICCCI 2017 International Program Committee. Referees will be asked to nominate papers for a Best Paper award to be announced at the conference. All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the author registration fee. A selected number of accepted and personally presented papers, will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in special issues of high quality scientific journals. Topics of Interest We welcome all submissions in the subjects of CCI related (but not limited) to the following topics: · Agent Theory and Application · Automated Reasoning · Cognitive Modeling of Agent Systems · Collective Intelligence · Collective Processing · Computational Biology · Computer Vision · Computational Intelligence · Computational Security · Consensus Computing · Cooperative Systems and Control · Cybernetics for Informatics · Data Integration · Data Mining for Social Networks · Distributed Intelligence · Evolutionary computing · Fuzzy Systems · Geographic Information Systems · Grey Theory · Group Decision Making · Hybrid Systems · Information Retrieval and Integration · Information Hiding · Intelligent Architectures · Intelligent Applications · Intelligent Buildings · Intelligent Control · Intelligent E-learning/Tutoring · Intelligent Image Processing · Intelligent Networks · Intelligent Transportation Systems · Knowledge Integration · Knowledge Representation · Knowledge-Based Systems · Logic in Intelligence · Machine Learning · Mobile Intelligence · Multicriteria Decision Making · Natural Language Processing · Optimization and Swarm Intelligence · Pattern Recognition · Probabilistic and Uncertain Reasoning · Rough Sets · Semantic Web · Smart Living Technology · Smart Sensor Networks · Soft Computing · Social Networks · Ubiquitous Computing · Web Intelligence and Interaction Call for Special Sessions and Workshops Proposals ICCCI 2017 invites proposals for Special Sessions and Workshops to be held during the conference. They intend to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session or Workshop will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of Computational Collective Intelligence related to the main topics of ICCCI 2017. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2017 papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. All the Special Sessions and Workshops will be centralized as tracks in the same conference submission and reviewing system (EasyChair) as the regular papers. Please send the Special Session and Workshop proposals with the following information: · Title & acronym of the special session · Brief profiles of special session organizers · General description of the special session scope · List of topics · Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited) The format for the Special Session or Workshop proposal should follow the pattern of the template available on the conference web site. The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the Special Sessions or Workshops and the conference including the Special Sessions and Workshops webpage preparation. The management of papers review will be achieved by Special Session and Workshops Committees, using the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each Special Session and Workshop). The organizers are responsible for managing the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through EasyChair. Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.

breaking news and fake news - the wash post's russian power grid hackers story
by kalev leetaru 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

I'm sure many of you saw the Washington Post's story on Friday that Russian hackers had penetrated the US power grid through a utility in Vermont and also the unraveling of that story over the following half day. What is so fascinating about this case from a "fake news" perspective is that it brings into sharp relief once again A) how the mainstream media forms a trust echochamber in which once one outlet runs a story, everyone follows without performing their own fact checking, B) the absolute trust frequently placed in government sources as "truth", C) the lack of fact checking even at tier one outlets like the Post and the lack of transparency in those processes (while answering other questions, the Post declined for a second time to comment in any way on how it fact checks articles and the level of rigor it requires prior to publication), D) how once an article is published, even if it is retracted or substantively changed, how that is often not clearly communicated to readers. I thought many of you would find of interest in particular the chronology of edits to the Post page courtesy of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and how it was almost a full day after the article had been rewritten that the Post finally appended an editors note acknowledging the wholesale changes - again points both to how newspapers now constantly rewrite their online articles over the course of a day or more and the immense power of the Archive in allowing us to trace those edits over time. To me, perhaps the most interesting piece here from a "fake news" perspective is how often "breaking news" becomes "fake news" as major details change once more facts become available. Given that in this case the Post was constantly rewriting the article over more than 12 hours after publication, it also raises the question of how we leverage all of these initiatives that look at news rewriting to help flag when articles are retracted or heavily edited and communicate that back to the general public - the tools are all there, but in terms of helping getting that back to the public. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2017/01/01/fake-news-and-how-the-w… Kalev
