CCDS Presents a talk with Anders Olof Larsson, Thursday, November 18th.
by Jeff Hemsley 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

The Center for Computational and Data Sciences presents Virtual Research Talk with Dr. Anders Olof Larsson, Thursday Nov 18th, 12 PM, titled, "Win a sweater with the PM's face on it" - A longitudinal study of Norwegian party Facebook engagement strategies. This talk is free and open to the public. Please do use the link below to register for the event. https://forms.gle/iCUyjUdew6xrwRCNA "Win a sweater with the PM's face on it" - A longitudinal study of Norwegian party Facebook engagement strategies Receiving Facebook post engagement - such as likes, comments and shares - is crucial in order to succeed online, perhaps especially for political actors. However, online engagement can also be hazardous, as it potentially strips the original poster of control over their messages. Previous work has shown that political actors have been rather unwilling to encourage interaction from their online supporters. However, research has also indicated a need to assess the influence of Facebook in this regard. The study presented here details what is referred to as Facebook engagement strategies among Norwegian political parties on Facebook between 2009 and 2019. Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to compare party and follower activity in relation to the aforementioned engagement varieties, the main findings indicate that parties and followers do not necessarily seek to interact at the same time. Furthermore, tendencies towards gamification, where parties direct user attention towards online quizzes and raffles instead of towards deliberation and political discussion, can be discerned. Anders Olof Larsson (PhD, Uppsala University, 2012) is Professor at the Department of Communication, Kristiania University College. Larsson was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow working in the Social media and Agenda-Setting in election campaigns project at the Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo. During his PhD work, which was funded by The Swedish Research School of Management and Information Technology, Larsson took part in the 2011 Oxford Internet Institute Summer Doctoral Programme. His PhD thesis - "Doing Things in Relation to Machines - Studies on Online Interactivity" (pdf) - was awarded the 2012 Börje Langefors award (for best Swedish thesis within the field of Informatics) and the 2012 FSMK Doctoral Dissertation award (for best Swedish thesis within the field of media and communication studies). Anders Olof Larsson's research interests include the use of online interactivity and social media by societal institutions and their audiences, journalism studies, political communication and methodology, especially quantitative and computational methods. As of July 2021, Larsson's work has been cited 3812 times, resulting in an h-index of 32 and an i10-index of 54. In June of 2017, Larsson was ranked as among the top 100 most productive researchers in Norway. In October 2020, Larsson was the only communication & media studies scholar with a Norwegian affiliation ranked among the top 2 % in his field worldwide following a ranking from Stanford University (full [very large] list here).

Building the AI gaze for Media Content Analysis
by antoine.mazieres＠yahoo.com 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear all, Just to let you know of the (remote) talk of Tanaya Guha (Glasgow U.) on « Building the AI gaze for Media Content Analysis », this Wednesday (17/11) at 10:30am. AbstractScreen culture and media experts have repeatedly noted that the screen media workforce lacks diversity, with class, gender, race and age constituting ‘crucial axes of inequality’. Objective, quantitative and analytical studies of diversity on screen that can match the massive scale of content creation and consumption are very scarce. Our goal is to address this complex challenge by creating a new generation of AI tools and techniques for quantifying and analyzing diversity in screen content. This talk will discuss our efforts to develop automated media analysis tools for quantifying representation, the challenges and opportunities. (Tweet !) Registration is free but mandatory to receive the link for the event : https://quantidiscri.antonomase.fr Let me know if you have any question : antoine.mazieres(a)gmail.com All the best, Antoinehttps://antonomase.fr/

Additionally, exploratory search is an important tool in how people interact with algorithms online. Examples for interacting with online algorithms are recommender systems, and the understanding of online manipulation systems and algorithms, including bots and the promotion of fake news. Our aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different personalization aspects and applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics. This will allow us to achieve four goals: (1) propose new strategies for systems that need to convey the rationale behind their decisions or inference, and the sequence of steps that lead to speciﬁc (search) results; (2) develop new user modeling and personalization techniques for exploratory search and interactive data analytics; (3) develop design principles for exploratory search of online algorithms and systems; (4) develop a set of evaluation metrics for personalization in exploratory search. The workshop aims to solicit submissions in the following areas of personalized interactive data analytics and exploratory search: Personalized interactive exploration via interactive data analytics: – personalization aspects in systems for exploratory search. – cross-domain/ context-aware/ cross-platform exploratory search systems. Data analytics: – interactive interfaces for data-intensive platforms. – preprocessing vs. online processing. – interactive data visualization – evaluation of human-centered exploratory search and data analytics. Explainable intelligent systems: – metrics for explainable exploratory search. – explainability and transparency in expert vs. non-expert systems. – human-in-the-loop analytics systems. – efﬁcient vs. explainable analytics. – user perception of explainability and transparency in interactive intelligent systems. Interaction with Online algorithms – conveying awareness of algorithmic fairness and bias in retrieval systems. – exploratory studies of online algorithms and recommender systems. – exploratory search of online manipulation systems and algorithms (e.g., fake news and bots). – interactively modelling user’s information needs for high-recall information retrieval. – new applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics.

9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022): Final Call for the Main Track and Third Call for Other Contributions
by Announce Announcements 13 Nov '21

13 Nov '21

*** Final Call for the Main Track and Third Call for Other Contributions *** 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022) March 22-24, 2022, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany https://www.esocc-conf.eu Scope Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
