WSDM publishes original\, high-quality papers related to search and data mining on the Web and the Social Web\, with an emphasis on practical yet principled novel models of search and data mining\, algorithm design and analysis\, economic implications\, and in-depth experimental analysis of accuracy and performance.Original papers emphasizing novel algorithmic approaches are particularly encouraged. Application-oriented papers that make innovative technical contributions to research are welcome. Visionary papers on new and emerging topics are also welcome…” URL:https://mediawell.ssrc.org/event/13th-acm-international-wsdm-conference/ LOCATION:Hyatt Regency Houston\, Houston\, United States CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200205T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200205T133000 DTSTAMP:20261012T101145 CREATED:20191202T215904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191203T215828Z UID:54574-1580904000-1580909400@mediawell.ssrc.org SUMMARY:Misinformation Speaker Series: David G. Rand DESCRIPTION:Event featured image\, but exclude link Event content \n\n“Please join us for a talk by David G. Rand\, Associate Professor of Management Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. \nThis event is part of the Misinformation Speaker series\, co-sponsored by the NULab and the Shorenstein Center for Media\, Politics\, and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. \nSpeaker Bio: David G. Rand is the Erwin H. Schell Professor and an Associate Professor of Management Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT Sloan\, and the Director of the Human Cooperation Laboratory and the Applied Cooperation Team. \nBridging the fields of behavioral economics and psychology\, David’s research combines mathematical/computational models with human behavioral experiments and online/field studies to understand human behavior. His work uses a cognitive science perspective grounded in the tension between more intuitive versus deliberative modes of decision-making\, and explores topics such as cooperation/prosociality\, punishment/condemnation\, perceived accuracy of false or misleading news stories\, political preferences\, and the dynamics of social media platform behavior. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such Nature\, Science\, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America\, the American Economic Review\, Psychological Science\, and Management Science. He has received widespread attention from print\, radio\, TV and social media outlets\, and has also written popular press articles for outlets including the New York Times\, Wired\, New Scientist\, and the APS Observer. He was named to Wired magazine’s The Smart List 2012: “50 people who will change the world\,” chosen as a 2012 Pop!Tech Science Fellow\, received the 2015 Arthur Greer Memorial Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Research\, and was selected as fact-checking researcher of the year in 2017 by the Poytner Institute’s International Fact-Checking Network. Papers he has coauthored have been awarded Best Paper of the Year in Experimental Economics\, Social Cognition\, and Political Methodology. \nDavid received his BA in Computational Biology from Cornell University in 2004 and his PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University in 2009\, was a post-doctoral researcher in Harvard University’s Department of Psychology from 2009 to 2013\, and was an Assistant and then Associate Professor of Psychology\, Economics\, and Management at Yale University prior to joining the faculty at MIT. \nFor updates and more details\, please see here.” \n\n .tribe-events-single-event-description \n .tribe-events-cal-links \n Event meta URL:https://mediawell.ssrc.org/event/misinformation-speaker-series-david-g-rand/ LOCATION:Harvard Kennedy School\, Boston\, MA\, United States CATEGORIES:Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200207 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200209 DTSTAMP:20261012T101145 CREATED:20191211T160234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191220T205850Z UID:54822-1581033600-1581206399@mediawell.ssrc.org SUMMARY:Third AAAI/ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence\, Ethics\, and Society DESCRIPTION:“As AI (and associated AI-hype) grows more pervasive in our lives\, its impact on society is ever more significant\, raising ethical concerns and challenges regarding issues such as privacy\, safety and security\, surveillance\, inequality\, data handling and bias\, personal agency\, power relations\, effective modes of regulation\, accountability\, sanctions\, and workforce displacement. Only a multi-disciplinary effort can find the best ways to address these concerns\, including experts from various disciplines\, such as ethics\, philosophy\, economics\, sociology\, psychology\, law\, history\, politics\, interaction design\, informatics\, social studies of science and technology\, communication and media studies\, and political science\, as well as those with lived experience in relation to the impacts of AI systems. In order to address these issues in a scientific context\, AAAI and ACM joined forces in 2018 to start the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI\, Ethics\, and Society. \nThe third edition of this conference will be co-located with AAAI-20 on February 7-8\, 2020 at the Hilton New York Midtown\, New York\, USA. The program of the conference will include peer-reviewed paper presentations\, invited talks\, panels\, and working sessions.” URL:https://mediawell.ssrc.org/event/third-aaai-acm-conference-on-artificial-intelligence-ethics-and-society/ LOCATION:New York Hilton Midtown Hotel\, New York\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200212T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200212T133000 DTSTAMP:20261012T101145 CREATED:20191202T215852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191211T163137Z UID:54575-1581508800-1581514200@mediawell.ssrc.org SUMMARY:Misinformation Speaker Series: Andrew Guess DESCRIPTION:Event featured image\, but exclude link Event content \n\n“Please join us for a talk by Andrew Guess\, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. \nSpeaker Bio:  Andrew Guess (Ph.D. Columbia University) is an assistant professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton University. His research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of political communication\, public opinion\, and political behavior. Via a combination of experimental methods\, large datasets\, machine learning\, and innovative measurement\, he studies how people choose\, process\, spread\, and respond to information about politics. Recent work investigates the extent to which online Americans’ news habits are polarized (the popular “echo chambers” hypothesis)\, patterns in the consumption and spread of online misinformation\, and the effectiveness of efforts to counteract misperceptions encountered on social media. Coverage of these findings has appeared in The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, Slate\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and other publications. His research has been supported by grants from the Volkswagen Foundation\, Russell Sage Foundation\, and the American Press Institute and published in peer-reviewed journals such as the American Journal of Political Science\, Journal of Politics\, and Political Analysis.” URL:https://mediawell.ssrc.org/event/misinformation-speaker-series-andrew-guess/ LOCATION:Harvard Kennedy School\, Boston\, MA\, United States CATEGORIES:Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200222 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200223 DTSTAMP:20261012T101145 CREATED:20200113T203311Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200113T215019Z UID:55419-1582329600-1582415999@mediawell.ssrc.org SUMMARY:MisinfoCon 7.0 DESCRIPTION:“We are very excited to announce registration is open for our next MisinfoCon event\, MisinfoCon@NASEM\, in Washington\, DC\, on February 22nd\, 2020. \nAfter several successful collaborations with First Draft News\, IREX (The International Research & Exchanges Board) and the Mozilla Foundation in Ukraine\, the US and the UK\, we’re bringing MisinfoCon back to DC for a collaboration with the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering and Medicine or NASEM. \nNASEM is an ensemble of nonprofit institutions tasked with providing independent\, objective analysis and advice to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions related to science\, technology\, and medicine. \nWe’re excited to partner with NASEM to bring focus to misinformation that is pervading health and science information\, media and data….” URL:https://mediawell.ssrc.org/event/misinfocon-7-0/ LOCATION:National Academy of Sciences\, Washington D.C\, D.C\, United States CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200224 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200229 DTSTAMP:20261012T101145 CREATED:20191203T160648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191211T163207Z UID:54560-1582502400-1582934399@mediawell.ssrc.org SUMMARY:RSA Conference DESCRIPTION:“What is the most powerful tool to prevent cyberattacks?
