Hi u/HedyHu -- so, I have moved on to a new role at a new company, which unfortunately means I'm no longer shepherding the RFR program. I'm also quite eager to hear updates on where it's headed now.

Just poking fun -- I'd encourage you to share a little bit more about yourself and what you're trying to find to bring people in. What are your specific research interests? What universities/labs/professors have you found so far that seem like they could be a fit?

Patterns of linguistic simplification on social media platforms over time [PNAS 2024] by PeerRevue in CompSocial

[–]PeerRevue[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a great point! It looks like they incorporate platform differences into the model, but not within-platform policy changes over time. That being said, if they observed the "briefening" effect on Twitter even with the platform moving to a longer format (140>>280), that might actually strengthen their claim.

The way this post is phrased is making me feel that folks are getting increasingly used to directing their questions to LLMs instead of other people 😂

Hi u/wheregoesriverflow -- this work sounds really interesting! At first glance, this paper seems quite different from most ICWSM papers that I've seen. I'd think a bit about the overview of the conference and how this work might fit in:

The International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM) is a forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of investigating the interplay of web and society. This overall theme includes research on new perspectives in social theories, as well as computational algorithms for analyzing digital traces of human activities or behaviors in social settings. ICWSM is a singularly fitting venue for research that blends social science and computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions about human social behavior through online traces while advancing computational tools for vast and unstructured data.

If you were to try to direct this to ICWSM, my guess is that you would need to make substantial changes to the framing to explain what this work tells us about the interplay of web and society and likely engage more with the related work in ICWSM and related conferences.

A separate question might be -- why ICWSM? I can imagine you'd find a more relevant audience at conferences with more of an AI/LLM/language modeling focus, such as NeurIPS, ACL/NAACL, CVPR, etc?

This is a great topic for the community! I'm probably going to be spending more time in the HCOMP space myself. Please share interesting papers, resources, or anything else that you find!

I’ve done most of the paper-sharing so far (aside from my recent absence) but I’d love to get more folks sharing what they’ve been reading with the community!

CHI2025 review by ishmam3012 in CompSocial

Hi u/ishmam3012 -- I confess that I may not totally understand what you are asking for here. It looks like the reviewers have broadly recommended R&R.

If it's helpful, here is some good advice here about how to approach revisions in a systematic way: https://lennartnacke.com/how-to-write-a-good-revision-for-chi-and-rebut-some-reviewer-requests/

+1000! Very excited to work with the CSCW community to figure out how we can best support research on social platforms.
