Human–algorithm interactions in platform governance
Content moderation entails human–algorithm collaborative decision-making in digital platforms subject to multiple socio-structural forces. This article applies perspectives of technology affordances and institutional logics to unpack content moderation as human–algorithm interaction processes grounded in the dynamic network of platform governance. We collaborated with three “super platforms” in China delivering wide-ranging services for research …
Negotiating censorship through ‘socialist recoding’ on the Chinese internet
This article studies recoding practices on the Chinese internet that reframe controversial contents in a socialist discourse to circumvent censorship. Drawing on three cases of ‘socialist recoding’ for critical discourse analysis (CDA), this article finds different patterns of recoding strategies and power relations manifested in these practices, depicting the nuances of censorship-evading practices in different responses to censorship including …
Unpacking platform governance through meaningful human agency
How platforms moderate online content remains “black-boxed” due to diverging and sometimes conflicting logics in the governance network of different forces and stakeholders. The key to unpacking the “black-box” lies with meaningful human agency in balancing these logics in contextualized practice. This article examines human moderators’ decision-making based on qualitative data drawn from Chinese leading platforms. Grounded theory analysis theori…
Re-directing socialist persuasion through affective reiteration
Previous research has noted the ambiguous persuasive potentials of reiteration: repeating a statement, slogan or image can work both positively and negatively, can both help and hinder the effectiveness of a political message. Considering that repeated propaganda in China is broadly ineffective in generating wholehearted public support, this article is interested in how and when repetition does achieve meaningful persuasion. Drawing on affect the…

RSPCN
The digital elevation model (DEM) is known as one kind of the most significant fundamental geographical data models. The theory, method and application of DEM are hot research issues in geography, especially in geomorphology, hydrology, soil and other related fields. In this paper, we improve the efficient sub-pixel convolutional neural networks (ESPCN) and propose recursive sub-pixel convolutional neural networks (RSPCN) to generate higher-resol…
