Toronto Workshop on Social Media
by Glenn McKnight Nov. 21, 2016

Nov. 21, 2016

*Seminar Title:* *Who are We Studying in Social Media: Bots or Humans?* *Speaker* Dr. Anatoliy Gruzd Associate Professor, Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University Canada Research Chair in Social Media Data Stewardship *Day and Time* Thu, November 24th, 2016. 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm *Location* George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering Ryerson University Room: ENG 288 245 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3 Map - http://www.ryerson.ca/maps <http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=aK7-8uiBfFtPE4TY_FX5GQ~~&pe=9WXxGYmLb2zs…> - Look for ENG *Organizers* IEEE Toronto Systems Chapter, Alexei Botchkarev, email: albot(a)ieee.org IEEE Toronto WIE, Magnetics, Measurement/Instrumentation-Robotics, Maryam Davoudpour, email: maryam.davoudpour(a)ieee.org *Registration* Registration is free, but space is limited. Please register via this link: http://tinyurl.com/systemsChapterEvent24 <http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=aK7-8uiBfFtPE4TY_FX5GQ~~&pe=HzG-vLRFvR_0…> *Abstract* Researchers studying various online and computer-mediated communities used to be able to argue that the online is an extension of the offline, and that offline and online are just different slices of real life. But the increasing number of bots in our datasets and the increasing use of algorithmic filtering by social media giants are widening the gap between online and offline, and between computer-mediated and algorithm-driven communication. This in turn makes some online data less reliable, at least for those of us studying human behavior. It also begs the question, if we are using data from social media for modelling, are we modelling human behavior in social media or simply reverse engineering how bots and other algorithms operate? Therefore, there is an urgent need to better understand the nature of bots and algorithmic filtering, and their influence on users’ online interactions, not just from a computational, but also from sociological perspective. This talk will discuss some of the key challenges and possible solutions to detecting social bots in the context of conducting social media research. *Speaker’s Biography* Dr. Anatoliy Gruzd is a Canada Research Chair in Social Media Data Stewardship, Associate Professor in the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University. He is also the Director of the Social Media Lab and a co-editor of a multidisciplinary journal on Big Data and Society published by Sage. Dr. Gruzd’s research initiatives explore how the advent of social media and the growing availability of social big data are changing the ways in which people communicate, collaborate and disseminate information and how these changes impact the social, economic and political norms and structures of modern society. Dr. Gruzd and his lab are also actively developing and evaluating new approaches and tools to support social media data analytics and stewardship. His research and commentaries have been reported across Canada and internationally in various mass media outlets such as Foreign Affairs, Los Angeles Times, Nature.com, The Atlantic, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, The Canadian Press, CBC TV, CBC Radio, CTV and Global TV.

Re: [NA-Discuss] Slogan Update
by John R. Levine Nov. 19, 2016

Nov. 19, 2016

> This is working so well that we should implement this procedure for all NARALO issues. In other words, instead of long textual debates on an issue, we should simply suggest slogans reflecting our view and then Doodle the various slogans offered by the membership. It's not obvious that this would produce worse results than the old time-consuming process. R's, John PS: I still like Two Countries, One Internet
