Can licensing mitigate the negative implications of web scraping in #AI training?

We're co-organizing a #CSCW virtual workshop to answer this question.

CfP is open until this Thursday:

@grimalkina this sounds like something that’d be at home in #STs or #cscw circles, like the work of @richmondywong …

Excited for this new #CSCW paper, led by @uwcip PhD student Stephen Prochaska, examinig how audiences & influencers worked to create an alternative reality around claims of election fraud, claims that were shaped by a "deep story" — & how those audiences were mobilized (to file affidavits, to protest, etc.) thru that work. "Mobilizing manufactured reality: How participatory disinformation shaped deep stories to catalyze action during the 2020 U.S. presidential election." https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3579616

What are the differences on how expert & novice crowdworkers decide what tasks to do? 👷‍♂️🧩

Our CSCW paper conducted a large scale data analysis on this. We identified that a key difference was that experts were better at saying "NO" to bad tasks than novices.

During remote work, people wanted to stay connected to colleagues but were tired of screens and needed to get stuff done. Rachel Bergmann, Sean Rintel, other folks and I looked at months of video meeting diaries through a dialectical lens to learn how info workers managed those tensions.

Read all about it in this new #CSCW article: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/meeting-the-pandemic-videoconferencing-fatigue-and-evolving-tensions-of-sociality-in-enterprise-video-meetings-during-covid-19/

#FutureOfWork

Our paper on how people tried to manage the tensions of staying personally connected in videoconferences while getting work done and minimizing video exhaustion during mandatory work from home is now out in #cscw

Super proud of first author Rachel Bergmann who was our research assistant, noticed interesting phenomena in the data, and led us on this paper. It was also so good to work with my Cambridge UK colleagues.

Hello world! #introduction

I study #decentralized online social groups: organizational structure, how technology shapes human collaboration, the effects of content #moderation, the emergence of #AltTech, all that juicy stuff. I'm a #ComplexSystems #scientist (#PhDstudent), so I use a combination of #ComputerScience, #CSCW, mathematical #modeling, #NLP, and statistics to study social phenomenon.

Outside academia, I apply that work at #DDoSecrets, a publishing collective that distributes leaked documents to journalists and researchers, and when appropriate, the public. Most of my contributions are behind the scenes (infrastructure, some #infosec, academic coordination and collaboration), so I rarely speak publicly for the collective.

Sometimes I post about side projects, like turning a toaster into a server, my conspiracy shrine made out of dumpster-salvaged electronics that reads and synthesizes conspiracies from the web, or adventures with obscure tech like virtual reality gopherholes. I write about my academic, DDoSecrets, and other pursuits at my blog: https://backdrifting.net/

Check-out Lorenzo Porcaro's @plorenzzz #CSCW paper, which investigates "the characteristics of listeners, artists, and tracks that are influential in the perception of diversity" https://doi.org/10.1145/3512956

embedding my #introduction in the coordinate space of mastodon hashtags:

I'm an assistant professor in the School of Information at #umich. I develop computational methods to study conversations, in the vein of #computationalsocialscience #datascience #nlp #nlproc, with #hci #socialcomputing #cscw #emca #linguistics in my peripheral vision.

the dog needs no hashtags, he speaks/barks/makes other groany dog noises for himself.

Shifting from Twitter, so here's a few research-interest-hashtags (in no particular order) to make me searchable: #ethnomethodology #space #STS #sociology #python #skylab #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #digitalmethods #HCI #criticaldesign #sciencestudies #CSCW

Am also looking for maybe a less generalist server to be on, so any ideas? Thanks!

#CSCW folks: Planning a study involving strangers discussing political/policy issues pseudonymously online. Best practices for moderation in online experiments?

How computer-supported cooperation researchers make decisions. #CSCW

Began our #CSCW workshop by rearranging the lecture-style seating into roundtable style. Always a good sign.
