Want to learn about computational social science *for free* and launch interdisciplinary research projects? We are so excited to announce there will be *26* Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science this year! Apply to one of them here: sicss.io/locations

🥳 Congratulations to our colleagues @nicolarighetti.bsky.social, @aytalina.bsky.social & @maikovska.bsky.social on their latest publication! Their study, w/ @brupar.bsky.social, Zsófia Cseri & Sofia Iriarte is now out in Information, Communication & Society 📖

So happy and so proud to have successfully defended my dissertation! 🎉 I couldn’t have done it without my amazing supervisors Peter Tolochko, @jamoeberl.bsky.social, and @hajoboo.bsky.social and the incredible CCL team in general—thank you all! 💙

Huge congrats to our @janabernhard.bsky.social on successfully defending her dissertation titled “Validation in Unsupervised Computational Text Analysis” today! 🎉✨🙌

Got a project idea? Stuck on a coding task? Wanna meet new friends & potential collaborators? 🫶 Check out this #hackica22 project by @larakobilke.bsky.social, @aytalina.bsky.social, Ani Baghumyan & @christianpipal.bsky.social for inspo & join us at #hackica25 in Boulder! ⛰️ doi.org/10.3389/fpos...

We just updated our Deepfakes Themes Explorer - An interactive tool for exploring fact-checks involving deepfakes and manipulated or out-of-context media and narratives, grouped based on their semantic similarity. It's ideal for uncovering latent topics & themes. deepfakestracker.org/deepfakes-th...

2 weeks to go until the submission deadline! Got research on emerging technologies and trust dynamics? We want to hear from you! Submit your work via: bit.ly/4hGAXO7 by Feb 28 and contribute to the discussions shaping the future of digital trust. #CfP #DigitalTrust #UvA #Amsterdam #TrustConference

Looking forward to discussing the latest computational methods with you at #COMPTEXT2025 in Vienna 🎡! Call + submission link ⤵️

To all the researchers here on @bsky.app for whom the topic data access from online platforms is relevant, please consider writing a short feedback on the draft of the delegated acts for the DSA: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

As more #rstats folks arrived here recently: you can use the Bluesky API for free and there are several packages for it. You can find the one @benguinaudeau.bsky.social @favstats.bsky.social and I wrote here: jbgruber.github.io/atrrr/ And a fun bot project: www.johannesbgruber.eu/post/2024-01...

Wow, this feels like 🦋 is finally taking off! Resharing my very first post on this platform in the hope of (re)connecting with many old and new colleagues 🤗 Also follow my lab: @compcommlab.bsky.social

Here's CCL's contribution to Starter Pack Season! Follow our team and colleagues in computational communication science. We'll keep updating the starter pack regularly. Feel free to DM us if you'd like to be included or have suggestions for accounts we should add. Thank you! 🙌 go.bsky.app/VqFrK14

Our score went up 📈, but we dropped a spot compared to 23. Tough luck! We’ll come back stronger next year 💪✨. Always funny to reflect on how perceptions of the discipline in the country can differ from international rankings 🌍. Still, we’re proud to be the top-ranked department at @univie.ac.at! 🏆

Excited to hear all your proposals! We want to hear both from seasoned computational veterans and those taking their first methodological steps, all welcome!

Rise and shine, scholars! ☀️ The #COMPTEXT2025 Call for Papers, Panels, and Data Presentations is open! 📣 Submit by January 15 and join us in Vienna @univie.ac.at this April. We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring! shorturl.at/AmocX #css #commsky #polisky
