Predicting conflict-prone disputes using the structure of turn-taking
Detection of conflict-prone discussions on online social platforms can help moderate debates and prevent negative social processes such as the formation of echo chambers or polarization of opinions. Here, we examined how controversy of a discussion topic can be estimated from formal characteristics of discussion threads on the English Wikipedia. We discovered that dyadic turn-taking patterns tended to convey highly emotional, personal content, di…
Shadow (Profiles) in the Dark (Patterns)
In information societies, data are power. Those who have access to data gain unprecedented opportunities to impact the behavior of other actors: individuals whose opinions and actions can be manipulated by targeted information, regulators who can be lobbied and persuaded through influencing public debate to protect data collectors, or smaller private actors, whose capacities to gather their own data can be limited through limited access to market…
Data Management for Platform-Mediated Public Services
Data harvesting and profiling have become a de facto business model for many businesses in the digital economy. The surveillance of individual persons through their use of private sector platforms has a well-understood effect on personal autonomy and democratic institutions. In this article, we explore the consequences of implementing data-rich services in the public sector and, specifically, the dangers inherent to undermining the universality o…
Target in Control
Democratizing Platforms for Social Coordination
Information and communication technology (ICT) enabled social media platforms facilitate, at one level, social interaction, management of social contacts, and the promotion of self-exposure. On another level, they arguably meet a profound social need for opportunities to pursue sociallyvaluable projects, and for the free exercise of constitutive human capacities, on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Alongside these significant benefits, there are a…
Value Sensitive Design for Peer Production Systems
Advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) have fueled the rise of the peer production community, a type of socio-technical system that self-organizes to deliver products or services created in a distributed manner. These novel modes of production, examples of which include such successful projects as Wikipedia, GNU/Linux, or Project Gutenberg, defy the expectations of standard organizations - they open rather than enclose knowl…
Social, Psychological and Technological Determinants of Energy Use
The traditional supply-side model of energy generation and use is changing rapidly. Two major, inter-dependent problems that electric power grids currently face are sustainability in the long run and dealing with the peaks and lows of demand in the short term
Why Simulate? To Develop a Mental Model
Computer simulations, one of the most powerful tools of science, have many uses. This paper concentrates on the benefits to the social science researcher. Based on our, somewhat paradoxical experiences we had when working with computer simulations, we argue that the main benefit for the researchers who work with computer simulations is to develop a mental model of the abstract process they are simulating. The development of a mental model results…
