What's in a dyad? Interaction and Exchange in Social Media
Workshop website: http://dyad.di.unito.it
Conference website: http://socinfo2014.org/
Conference: SocInfo 2014 @ Barcelona, Spain in November 10-13, 2014
Submission deadline: September 8, 2014
A great deal of work has used computational methods to investigate the intensity, structure, topic and sentiment of social interactions. But neither information alone nor structure in isolation can be considered fully responsible for the complexity of social life, whether on- or offline. Online interactions can be conceptualized as a social exchange, and also as a process through which meaning emerges through dialogue between the two partners, i.e. a dyad. We aim for the DYAD workshop to examine online interactions from a number of rich perspectives. Our invited speakers include Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil (Max Planck Institute SWS), Bruno Gonçalves (Aix-Marseille Université), and Carlos Diuk-Wasser (Facebook, Inc.)
The workshop welcomes submissions on topics related to computational approaches to the study of social interaction, relevant to fields as diverse as social psychology, behavioral economics, sociolinguistics as well as computational linguistics, web science, and network science. Examples of relevant submissions include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
detection of social expectations and norms
status relations and power imbalances
detection and measurement of social support, such as in critical situations related to illness, bullying or grieving
self-disclosure, turn-taking, deference in interpersonal communication
identity
topic development and change in online conversations
emotion dynamics in conversation thread
social dynamics in comment thread (politics, news, interest-based communities)
development of language and the self through social interaction
language variation across communities and social relationships (e.g. distinguishing friends from colleagues, etc.)
persuasive language
pragmatics of language
Formatting
Submitted works can come as either full 10-page or short 4-page papers, formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Full papers will be given 30 minutes and short 20 minutes for presentations. The authors can choose to publish their papers along with the main conference proceedings, or withhold such publication for future work considerations.
