In one of the first papers using ChatGPT-4 for text analysis, I find that it beats both crowdworkers and experts in a difficult tweet annotation task This work has convinced me that LLMs will completely transform how we use text in the social sciences 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2304.06588

əəʞ ıəɐɥɔɐɹ pitching her project at #hackica24. She's absolutely brilliant and it's her first ICA; say hi to her if you see her 👀 #ICA24

Great hackers united 🧑‍💻 see you at the opening reception! #ica24 #hackica24

My #ica24 summary! I was honored to present two papers from my first-year PhD work at APSA & ICA Political Communication Divisions and ICA Comp Methods. I discussed multimodal analysis using LLMs and redefining cross-cutting exposure with digital trace data. Thank you to my wonderful advisor and coworker, Magdalena Wojcieszak!

Extremely delayed post, but my first #ica24 hackathon wrapped up as well. I presented how to handle and analyze multimodal aspects from social media content. Thank you hackingcommsci for organizing such a great event!

Excited to share a preprint with Magdalena Wojcieszak, titled "Harmful YouTube Video Detection: A Taxonomy of Online Harm and MLLMs (GPT-4-Turbo) as Alternative Annotators" Does GPT outperform humans in 'harmful' video annotation as well? Find out at osf.io/2dn8s 🙌

Interested in #harm detection & mitigation? See preprint w/ the *wonderful* Wonjeong Claire Jo👇 2-in-1: taxonomy of online harm & large-scale annotation using MLLMs, crowdworkers & experts. Core result: GPT outperforms crowdworkers but still a 'silver standard' osf.io/2dn8s

🚨🎉 Exciting news! Our paper on algorithmic vs. user nudges for increasing news consumption on YouTube was just published at PNAS Nexus w/ Xudong Yu, Magdalena Wojcieszak, Ericka Menchen-Trevino

Harmful YouTube Video Dataset Annotated by Domain Experts, GPT-4-Turbo, and Crowdworkers is coming out soon 🔥

Happy to be a part of this amazing team!

Great news, #ACL2025NLP community! 🎉 The Main Papers are detailed at 👇 2025.aclweb.org/program/main_p… #NLProc

So ICWSM Main Conference Day 1 has kicked off! Catch me at "Session 1: Multimodal Meme Analysis" from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM, where I’ll be presenting two papers.

Poster madness starting soon at AAU 🎤 #icwsm

The 19th International AAAI Conference on Web & Social Media (ICWSM) is underway in Copenhagen. We are enjoying seeing everyone at the conference so far! Lots of valuable information exchange and networking.

Find yourself a Ming Shan who captures the world so you can truly live in the moment!

Excited to have presented a poster on ‘MetaHarm: Harmful YouTube Dataset annotated by crowdworkers, a domain expert, and GPT’ at @ICWSM in #Copenhagen! The dataset and paper are available at ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWS… Grateful to have connected with amazing people there. #icwsm

It was also such a pleasure to catch up with my coworker Rajvardhan Oak at @ICWSM! We each presented different papers here, but our work on using LLMs to mitigate harmful exposure will be presented at @ACLmeeting soon. The ACL preprint available here: arxiv.org/abs/2501.13977
