I am unable to attend #icwsm due to #hearttransplant but if you care to read the preprint of the paper that will be in its poster session, BotBuster, made possible by Kuni Miyazaki Jisun An Roy Lee Jahna Otterbacher Thank you so much!! arxiv.org/pdf/2207.13658…

This’s me! Thank you!

So happy to attend #ICWSM23 . It has been my dream to come here. I could get a lot of inspiration, stimuli, and new friends ☺️ Thanks!

One of our key sources of human data is no longer fully “human"! We estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers on MTurk used large language models (LLMs) in a text production task - which may increase as ChatGPT and the like become more popular and powerful. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07899

ICYMI: quite apropos now that Musk has disabled Botometer Elon Musk has portrayed himself as a champion of transparency, so why has he made Twitter more opaque? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… via Faye Flam

Heading to Copenhagen to attend #IC2S2 ! See you there!

About 10 years ago, my friends gave the nickname Dr. Yan. Today, I can proudly say it's no longer just a nickname! The six years I spent at IU Media School and IU Luddy were undeniably the best time of my life. Now, I am excited for the new chapter as a visiting AP at @TAMUComm!

Humbled and honored to receive an Outstanding Dissertation Award Runner-Up at #KDD2023! A huge thank you to my advisor Stefano Ceri and all my wonderful co-authors and colleagues!

We are thrilled to announce the 🚨OSoMe Awesome Speakers 🚨, a virtual event bringing together top scholars and researchers studying information integrity. Join us for our first speaker Joshua Tucker on 9/20! Details and registration: osome.iu.edu/events/speaker… #OSoMeAwesomeSpeakers

⭐⭐RT wanted!⭐⭐ I am recruiting a fully funded graduate student at SSIE in Binghamton University to explore topics on Representation learning, Complex systems, and Network science. Feel free to reach out for questions! More on my research at skojaku.github.io😉

This is terrible - the most useful account on this site for spreading reliable information on the quake in both Japanese and English has reached its API limit on X and can no longer send automated tweets on quakes and tsunamis. Sort it out please Elon Musk

Today, Japan experienced a major earthquake. Although X remains a key platform for sharing information in the crisis, the current timeline is now polluted with spam posts, all chasing high impressions. Unfortunately, the API that allowed us to analyze them is no longer available.

Regarding the plane collision that occurred yesterday at Tokyo International Airport (no fatalities on the JAL plane that burst into flames despite 379 people on board), it seems 338 posts praising the JAL attendants were posted at almost the same time, exactly word for word.

This paper finally got published from EPJ Data Science 🙏 epjdatascience.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Thrilled to announce that our student, HuangFan, has had his first long paper (on evaluating LLM's capability to 'rate' the quality of explanations) accepted for presentation at LREC-COLING 2024! and the work is with Haewoon Kwak as well :) More details coming soon!

🎉 Huge news! Our paper 'A semantic embedding space based on large language models for modelling human beliefs' is finally out in Nature Human Behaviour! This research uses LLMs to build a 'map' of human beliefs and reveals why people adopt certain beliefs through relative dissonance.

Our first Nature Human Behaviour article! It took 8 months for the acceptance (Submitted: August 2024 / Accepted: April 2025), and the responses to reviewers was book-thick text. :) But finally it's out and we are so happy! 🥂 Read it here: rdcu.be/epoQJ
