Is GPT-4 good at augmenting training datasets for supervised tasks for computational social science? The answer is not as clear-cut as you might imagine. New preprint out, feedback is very welcome! arxiv.org/abs/2304.13861 @ITUkbh @nerdsitu Carlsbergfondet #compsocsci

Geoffrey #Hinton quits #Google to be able to "speak freely" about the dangers of #AI, "and in part regrets his contribution to the field" (source: The Guardian).

📢Ecxiting news from our #ConsortiumMeeting! 👥 During the meeting, partners had the opportunity to hold face2face discussions about the progress of the project in recent months and the next steps of project implementation ✍️Subscribe to our newsletter: bit.ly/42ipxrP

Cherry blossoms bloom in Stockholm 🌸

This week we are at the French Regional Conference on Complex Systems iutdijon.u-bourgogne.fr/ccs-france/ where George Panayiotou will present "Towards Efficient Multilayer Network Data Management"

This week we are at the Swedish eScience conference essenceofescience.se/swedish-e-scie… presenting some of our current works on eScience methods for the social sciences

Dear Twitter/X users interested in computational social science: this account will post updates about #css activities at Uppsala University @UU_University as part of a collaboration across the Faculties of Social Sciences and Science and Technology. You are welcome to follow us.

Today I presented my work with Davide Vega (archived) during the "Network Dynamics" poster session of the #COMPLEXNETWORKS2023 Conference in Menton Riviera 🥳🍋 UU-Infolab (no longer active here) uucsslab (no longer active here) --- @UU_University #NetworkScience #SNA #ComplexNetworks #CSS

For those interested in communication networks, Davide Vega (archived) has developed a tutorial on the analysis of #temporal #text #networks (appliednetsci.springeropen.com/articles/10.10…), here delivered at the Centre for Digital Humanities (Centre for Digital Humanities& Social Sciences)

Yesterday I presented my work with Davide Vega (archived) on disagreement and polarization in online communities, as part of my PhD research at UU-Infolab (no longer active here) on computational methods to study social behaviors. Thanks to the Swedish Conference on CSS for the opportunity 🙏🏻 #sc2s2

Lots of presentations from the UU-Infolab (no longer active here) at the Swedish CSS conference #sc2s2 uucsslab (no longer active here)

Thank you Centre for Digital Humanities& Social Sciences for the visit to our lab and for presenting your activities and opportunities for cross-Faculty collaboration @UU_University.

After 3 packed days of research, workshops, and networking, #COMPTEXT2025 has officially wrapped up! In 48+ panels, 220+ presentations, and a full day of tutorials we received a great review of the state-of-the-art in our field. Thanks everyone and see you next year!
