Workshop Computational Social Science: AI and Society – Exploring Inequality in the Digital Age (May 2025, University of Mannheim)
by Ruben Bach 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Dear colleagues, the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) and the Mannheim Centre for Data Science (MCDS) will host a workshop on Computational Social Science in May 2025. Please see below for details. Thanks, Ruben Bach ____________________________ Computational Social Scientist Mannheim Centre for European Social Research University of Mannheim Workshop Computational Social Science: AI and Society – Exploring Inequality in the Digital Age When 15.05.2025 & 16.05.2025 Note: To allow same-day travel for most participants on both days, the workshop will start around lunchtime on May 15 and end in the early afternoon on May 16. Where University of Mannheim What Dear Researchers and Practitioners in Computational Social Science (CSS), We invite you to our upcoming workshop on “Computational Social Science: AI and Society – Exploring Inequality in the Digital Age” at the University of Mannheim, jointly organized by the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES)<https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/d7/en> and the Mannheim Centre for Data Science (MCDS)<https://www.uni-mannheim.de/en/datascience/>. This two-day, in-person workshop is part of an annual event series<https://computational-social-science.org/> that connects CSS scholars from the German-speaking area (Austria, Germany, Switzerland). As an interdisciplinary event, it addresses scholars from, e.g., sociology, political science, computer science, communication, economics, digital humanities, and data science. We provide a platform for networking, professional development, and exchanging ideas in CSS. This year’s workshop will focus on CSS and AI: In recent years, the field has been marked by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For example, software backed by powerful machine learning algorithms is now used in public policy decision-making; generative AI and large language models are ubiquitous and promise to benefit all. However, there are also concerns regarding the increasing spread of AI: for example, algorithms may replicate and reinforce societal and statistical biases, those who have been disadvantaged in the past may find themselves even more left behind by new technological developments, and generative AI may be used, e.g., to tamper with election campaigns. This workshop will address questions focusing on the methodological and real-world implications of AI, such as… * Individual and societal use of new technology & AI (e.g., using AI systems for decision-making in societal areas such as health or justice, public perceptions of AI, etc.) * Questions of inequality related to individual and societal use of new technology & AI (e.g., ethnic, racial, or gender bias in AI-based decision-making, etc.) * Questions of inequality related to scientific use of AI (e.g., access to AI and technology, resources across countries, bias in models, etc.) * Scientific use of new technology & AI (e.g., large language models for text analysis, agent-based models for synthetic data, digital approaches to historical semantics, etc.) What to expect * Invited Talks: Hear from leading scholars who will share insights on conceptual challenges, methodologies, and empirical applications in CSS. * Panel Discussion: Engage in a discussion with experts and peers on current and future trends related to AI and CSS. * Early Career Poster Session: Are you an early career CSS researcher? Present your research in a poster session! * Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow researchers and professionals to build a robust CSS community in the DACH area. Who Should Attend? This workshop is for academics, researchers, and professionals involved in CSS or interested in applying computational methods in social science research. Whether you are an experienced scholar or a young researcher in this field, your contributions and participation will be highly valued. Note: As the workshop features invited talks and sessions aimed at academic exchange, you do not have to submit your research to participate (unless you want to present in the early career poster session). We look forward to welcoming you to an engaging and inspiring event! Workshop Registration The workshop welcomes researchers from all career levels as non-presenting participants to partake in discussing directions of CSS research and networking with other CSS scholars. Slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We will send out a separate announcement once registration for the workshop opens. Call for posters Additional slots are available for early career researchers who wish to present their CSS projects in the poster session. Posters may deal with any topic relevant to CSS. Please submit a short abstract of up to 300 words about the poster you would like to present to cssworkshop2025(a)computational-social-science.org. The deadline for abstract submission is February 16, 2025. We will try to accommodate all poster submissions suitable to the conference. Depending on the number of submissions, we may need to choose a subset of posters based on the fit of the posters to the topic of CSS and the originality of the work. Acceptance notifications will be sent out in March 2025. A poster award will be given out during the workshop (worth 250 EUR). The award is kindly sponsored by the German Association for Online Research, DGOF e.V. All accepted submissions will be eligible for these awards.

Call for Abstracts: ESRA 2025 Session on Bridging Methodology and Computational Social Science
by Claaßen, Joshua 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

***Apologies for cross-posting Dear colleagues, we are excited to invite submissions for our upcoming session, "Bridging Methodology and Computational Social Science<https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conf2025/sessions.php?sess=112>", at the 11th conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA)<https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference/utrecht-2025/call-for-abs…>, which takes place at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, from July 14 to July 18, 2025. The session is organized by Joshua Claassen (DZHW, Leibniz University Hannover), Oriol J. Bosch (Oxford University), and Jan Karem Höhne (DZHW, Leibniz University Hannover). Our aim is to bring together innovative research at the intersection of methodology and Computational Social Science (CSS). Please submit your abstract (max. 300 words) via the ESRA conference management system<https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conf2025/> by December 20, 2024. Session Details In today's world, daily activities, work, and communication are continuously tracked via digital devices, generating highly granular data, including digital traces (e.g., app usage and browsing) and sensor data (e.g., geolocation). Researchers from various disciplines are increasingly utilizing these data sources, though often with different research objectives. Methodologists tend to focus on evaluating the quality and errors of digital data, while Computational Social Scientists (CSS) often leverage these data to answer more substantive research questions. However, there is a lack of collaboration between both worlds, resulting in a discipline divide. For example, CSS researchers have embraced data donations, yet methodologists have not provided sufficient empirical evidence on the quality of such data. Moreover, web tracking data is rapidly being adopted in CSS, but methodological guidelines on how to gather the substantive content of website visits and apps (e.g., through HTML scraping) is lacking. However, there are methodological error frameworks covering both measurement and representation. These frameworks are yet to be (fully) leveraged. This session invites contributions that bridge the gap between methodology and CSS, fostering collaboration across disciplines. We particularly welcome CSS work that incorporates a strong methodological foundation, as well as methodological research with clear relevance to substantive CSS inquiries. Topics may include, but are not limited to: * Substantive research showcasing best practices when using digital data * Assessments of digital data in terms of quality and errors * Approaches reducing representation, sampling, and measurement errors of digital data * Studies substituting more traditional data collections (e.g., web surveys) with digital data (e.g., measuring opinions with digital traces) * Studies that go beyond the pure tracking (or donating) of app, search term, and URL data, including data integration and enrichment strategies If you have any questions about the session, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are looking forward to your submissions.
