I agree that this is an important thread, and I have very much enjoyed receiving papers from colleagues. So please keep them coming. Thanks, Yosem On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 4:51 AM, Stuart Shulman <stuart.shulman@gmail.com> wrote:
I also love the thread Yosem. Would anyone like to work on a project along these lines?
- fake news detection - alt-right detection
I have been drafting an announcement for a sponsored student data challenge using a fixed set of 20 million Trump tweets.
Is this something that members of the list would like to see students take part in? Do people think these difficult/contested concepts are readily detectable by humans and/or machines? Are there a few professors out there willing to serve as judges for the output of the student data challenge if we run it in early 2017?
Please email me directly off list (stu@texifter.com) if this is of interest.

I love this thread. I have been collecting all the 'fake news' style announcements that I come across but I have not seen any academic work yet. cc

Anyone know of any academic studies showing that fake (social media) news influenced the 2016 presidential election outcome?
