I am recruiting 2 PhD students for Fall'25 @csaudk.bsky.social to work on bleeding-edge topics in #NLProc #LLMs #AIAgents (e.g. LLM reasoning, knowledge-seeking agents, and more).

Details: www.cs.au.dk/~clan/openings
Deadline: May 1, 2025

Please boost!

I'm super happy with this video from Communications of the ACM on our paper about LLM use in crowd work. Our work will be the cover paper of CACM in March.

New paper: Do social media algorithms shape affective polarization?

We ran a field experiment on X/Twitter (N=1,256) using LLMs to rerank content in real-time, adjusting exposure to polarizing posts. Result: Algorithmic ranking impacts feelings toward the political outgroup! 🧵⬇️

This is your chance to host a Summer Institute in Computational Social Science. Amazing chance to be part of a wonderful community. . .

Ready for another Computational Social Science Starter Pack?

Here is number 2! More amazing folks to follow! Many students and the next gen represented!

Excited to finally share work from this summer!

We propose using structured negotiation games to evaluate language models.

LMs are being used to create *dynamic* agents but benchmarks have remained *static*. Structured negotiation games solve this!

Happy to see our work on deplatforming now published in PNAS Nexus 🎉🎉

We show how banning users on Twitter accelerated the growth of the far right platform Gettr... 🧵

Collab with the great Amin Mekacher & Andrea Baronchelli

Highlights 👇

I’m hitting the job market looking mainly for tenure-track asst. professor positions (2024)! 

My core research informs how we should curate content on online platforms — and I’m also interested in how large language models will impact on the Web in the upcoming years.

Repost if you’ve participated in a Summer Institute in Computational Social Science. Let’s get #SICSS Bluesky going!
