Global Pulse: Mining Indonesian Tweets to Understand Food Price Crises copyUN Global Pulse
Sudden increases in the price of staple foodstuffs like rice can push whole families below the poverty line and cause regional economic instability; these changes can happen rapidly but food price statistics are generally published only monthly or even less frequently.
This project, in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Development Planning, UNICEF and WFP in Indonesia seeks to use social media analysis to provide real-time information from the population that could enable faster responses to food price increases in the form of social protection policies. Global Pulse analysed tweet volumes relevant to food and fuel between March 2011 and April 2013 and found a significant correlation, suggesting that even potential (rather than realised) fuel price rises affect people’s perceptions of food security. Researchers also found a relationship between retrospective official food inflation statistics and the number of tweets referencing food price increases.

Social networks have become repositories of Big Data that can be mined and analyzed to gain insights into the activities and preferences of Internet users. The present research relies on a large dataset from Twitter to examine emotional content, activity patterns and interaction networks of political parties and politically active users during the campaign for the Spanish national elections of November 2011.
Our results show remarkable differences in political parties according to the diffusion and communication dynamics within the microblogging network. The study of the networks generated by the main parties allows us to identify different strategies depending on the characteristics of the analyzed parties in the offline word. Furthermore, we discuss the adaptation of the political structures of the parties to this new communication and organizational paradigm emerged from Internet and online social networks.

Data augmented ethnography: using big data and ethnography to explore candi...Salla-Maaria Laaksonen
In this paper we propose data augmented ethnography as a novel mixed methods approach to combine ethnographic, qualitative, observations with social media data collection and computational analysis. Using two brief studies on online interaction as examples we discuss the benefits and challenges of the combination of these two perspectives. We posit that the observations made in the qualitative phase can be quantified and hypothesized together with the data collected later during the analysis stage. Through our case studies we aim to shed light to the differences apparent on the party level and seek to understand how candidates, based on their parties political standing, differ in terms of interactivity. We ask, what insights does a mixed-method approach combining ethnographic observations to computational social science offer to the study of interactivity and its many pregnant forms? To answer this question, we use a large data set collected from different social media platforms before and during the 2015 Parliament Election in Finland. This data consists of both textual data including all candidate updates and the conversations they elicited, as well as field notes written and collected during ethnographic field work period before the elections.

Data-driven campaigns in Europe: what went wrong after Obama? Rome, 29 September 2014
Social media has emerged as a powerful communication channel to promote actions and raise social awareness. Initiatives through social media are being driven by NGOs to increase the scope and effectiveness of their campaigns. In this paper, we describe the DaTactic2 campaign, which is both an offline and online initiative supported by Oxfam Intermón devised to gather activists and NGOs practitioners and create awareness on the importance of the 2014 European Parliament election. We provide details regarding the background of the campaign, as well as the objectives, the strategies that have been implemented and an empirical evaluation of its performance through an analysis of the impact on Twitter. Our findings show the effectiveness of bringing together relevant actors in an offline event and the high value of creating multimedia content in order to increase the scope and virality of the campaign.
paper to be presented at Netdem Conference, Cluj-Napoca, 25-27 June 2010, netdem.info
The new media have changed the political scene dramatically. Thus, in the case of certain states such as the USA, Iran or Moldova, microblogging - especially through the platform Twitter - proved an efficient communication tool. But what was the case of Romania, considering that, at the end of 2009, presidential elections were held here?
The aim of our paper is to share an analysis carried out by the authors which explores whether communication in 140 characters has had an/any influence on the Romanian presidential elections. The paper was facilitated by the online project Elections in 140 characters developed on the microblogging platform Cirip.eu, by creating at the start of the campaign a group dedicated to the presidential elections. Hence, on 22 October 2009, the group Prezidentiale (http://cirip.ro/grup/prezidentiale) became active (and it was open until the end of the elections, in mid December). Messages on this topic were sent in this group, and were also imported both from Twitter and from blogs, all of them reflecting the interaction/debate on the elections, between Romanian Internet users.
However, the authors believe that if microblogging is used effectively it has the potential to do more than facilitate interaction between users (or users and candidates). More precisely, we consider it can influence electoral campaigns in a new and innovative way.

Online Petitioning Through Data Exploration and What We Found There: A Datase...Pablo Aragón
Dataset paper presented at ICWSM-18:
The Internet has become a fundamental resource for activism as it facilitates political mobilization at a global scale. Petition platforms are a clear example of how thousands of people around the world can contribute to social change. Avaaz.org, with a presence in over 200 countries, is one of the most popular of this type. However, little research has focused on this platform, probably due to a lack of available data.
In this work we retrieved more than 350K petitions, standardized their field values, and added new information using language detection and named-entity recognition. To motivate future research with this unique repository of global protest, we present a first exploration of the dataset. In particular, we examine how social media campaigning is related to the success of petitions, as well as some geographic and linguistic findings about the worldwide community of Avaaz.org. We conclude with example research questions that could be addressed with our dataset.
Social Media and (Urban) Social Protest: The Brazilian ExperienceAnita Breuer
Political communication via the Internet and online social networking sites (SNS) has come to form an inherent part of civil society activism today. Yet the potential of online activism to bring about political change is debated.
In 2011/12 the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) conducted an investigation on the analysis of the Brazilian anti-corruption campaign Ficha Limpa (clean record), which
was primarily promoted through social media channels. This presentation first provides an overview of the impact of this campaign on the Brazilian political system.
Picking up on the Brazilian 2013 urban riots related to a planned increase in public transportation costs and the
confederations cup it then proceeds to illustrate the broader implications of online social networks for urban
political participation in Brazil.
Anita Breuer holds a Master in Area Studies Latin America and received her doctoral degree in Political
Science from the University of Cologne in 2008. Since 2011 she holds a post as a senior researcher at the
German Development Institute, Bonn, Germany, where her research focuses on the role of the Internet and social media in democracy promotion. She has recently co-edited “Digital technologies for democratic

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

19. Conclusions / Findings
With measurements based on the mentions count we have
got a good result, however:
The results depend on many factors such as the social-cultural
environment in the elections, the period of the sample, campaign
events, the collection of data on Twitter, the parties analyzed
and calculation method
The validation of this method of forecasting requires
systemization of steps and checking of other elections

20. Conclusions / Findings
With the measurements based on Political polarity we have
got worse results, we’ll have to bear this in mind to
improve the algorithms:
•Demographics: Twitter users are young and highly educated.
•Hidden opinion: Not all users show their political opinions
•Over opinion: Some parties supporters are very actives
•Entity vs. People: It’s difficult to distinguish an entity from a
person on Twitter
•Anonymous vs. “Real Identity”: users with a real identity are
more likely to have a hidden opinion
•Men vs. Women: There is a gender difference. Men are likely
to hide their opinion or to over opinion than women
