SUMMARY:Seminar: AI in the social sciences AND a taxonomy of fake news: Two research themes. Rich Ling\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore.
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a seminar with Shaw Foundation Professor of Media Technology\, Rich Ling\, at Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\, on Thursday\, 3 June. \nTITLE: AI in the social sciences AND a taxonomy of fake news: Two research themes.\nWHEN: Thursday\, 3 June 2021\, 13:00-14:00\nWHERE: https://uib.zoom.us/j/66200674584?pwd=a2lUZ1dNZEZNNzdycVI2c1Z3aHhuQT09\nMeeting ID: 662 0067 4584\nPassword: KC8KX7zi \nABSTRACT: In this talk\, Rich Ling will examine the role of AI in social science research. In addition\, he will examine a taxonomy of fake news. In the case of AI in the social sciences\, Ling will examine how this technology is emerging as a new tool that will eventually shape social science research in the coming years. When considering fake news\, Ling will review how this phenomenon has been seen over the past decade and how researchers have approached it. \nBIO: Rich Ling has been the Shaw Foundation Professor of Media Technology\, at Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore where he studies the social consequences of mobile communication. Ling has written The mobile connection (2004)\, New Tech\, New Ties (2008) and Taken for grantedness (2012). He edits the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication\, and a founding co-editor of both Mobile Media and Communication and the Oxford University Press Series\, Studies in Mobile Communication. He is a member of Det Norske Vitenskaps Akademi (The Norwegian Academy of Arts and Letters)\, Academia Europaea\, and a fellow of the International Communication Association. \nWelcome to all!

SUMMARY:Seminar: Computational Psychology in Recommender Systems\, Marko Tkalčič\, University of Primorska (Slovenia).
DESCRIPTION:MediaFutures is pleased to announce that Marko Tkalčič\, who is an Associate Professor at University of Primorska (Slovenia) will be giving a seminar on the topic of computational psychology in recommender systems. \nWelcome to all! \nTITLE: Computational Psychology in Recommender Systems\nWHEN: Tuesday\, 8 June 2021\, at 11:00-12:00\nWHERE: https://uib.zoom.us/j/61489174500?pwd=MGRQWWs2K0lYQ1hPSlBJZjF5VU85Zz09\nMeeting ID: 614 8917 4500\nPassword: 27A9wUG6 \nABSTRACT: Recommender systems are systems that help users in decision-making situations where there is an abundance of choices. We can find them in our everyday lives\, for example in online shops. State-of-the-art research in recommender systems has shown the benefits of behavioural modeling. Behavioural modeling means that we use past ratings\, purchases\, clicks etc. to model the user preferences. However\, behavioural modeling is not able to capture certain aspects of the user preferences. In this talk I will show how the usage of complementary research in computational psychology\, such as detection of personality and emotions\, can benefit recommender systems. \nBIO: Marko Tkalčič is associate professor at the Faculty of Mathematics\, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (FAMNIT) at the University of Primorska in Koper\, Slovenia. He aims at improving personalized services (e.g. recommender systems) through the usage of psychological models in personalization algorithms. To achieve this\, he uses diverse research methodologies\, including data mining\, machine learning\, and user studies. He is editorial board member of the Springer UMUAI and Frontiers in Psychology journals and PC chair of the ACM UMAP 2021 conference. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: Exploring media experience: why is it important to media innovation? Irene Costera Meijer\, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Irene Costera Meijer\, Professor of Journalism Studies at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, (The Netherlands) and Professor II at the University of Bergen will talk about why we should regard audience experience as key to both innovation and quality. \nTITLE: Exploring media experience: why is it important to media innovation?\nWHEN: Thursday\, 17 June 2021\, 13:00-14:00\nWHERE:https://uib.zoom.us/j/61527564041?pwd=M25Qay8ybHpSZVRjaVdxQXJRbHgwQT09\nMeeting ID: 615 2756 4041\nPasscode: erM6f2uy \nABSTRACT: In today’s world\, innovation appears to have replaced quality as the dominant concept in metajournalistic discourse. Innovation guards the distribution of financial resources – more investments in technology – and working conditions –more freelance journalists as a flexible workforce. Innovation also works as a distinctive mark of professional status and is at the center of antagonistic labor relations  – e.g. the introduction of robot journalism. \nThe shift from quality discourse to innovation discourse involved a change in the journalistic perception of audiences: from being irrelevant (if not a negative concern) to being main targets. \nAlthough the question of how to reach audiences seems to be still dominant\, news organizations appear to become more open and sensitive towards finding out how to become valuable to audiences\, how to open up their minds\, how to broaden their horizon\, and how to provide them with a quality experience that will enlighten them with reliable information considered worthwhile. \nIn this talk I will answer the question how innovation discourse and quality discourse may meet by focusing on what audiences experience as valuable journalism. I will demonstrate how it crystallized over the years into three key experiences: Learning something new\, Getting recognition and Increasing mutual understanding. \nBIO: Irene Costera Meijer is Professor of Journalism Studies and head of the Journalism Studies section at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She is a world leading journalism and media scholar having recently set the agenda for the audience turn in journalism studies. Her research appeared in many journals and books and focuses on what news users value about journalism.  She also works as a professor II at the Research group for Media Use and Audience Studies of the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at University of Bergen. \nHer research interests focus on audience studies and in particular on the impact of digitalization on changing practices of media consumption\, media experiences and news use. When doing research she often collaborates with media organisations.  This makes it easier to translate scholarly results into relevant suggestions for every day professional practices and vice versa\, understanding the fundamental dilemmas of professional practices and translating these into academic publications. Costera Meijer is also on the editorial board of the academic journals Digital Journalism and Journalism Practice. \n
