What's in a dyad? Interaction and Exchange in Social Media

Conference website:

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.
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
