Overview

​

We welcome submissions on any topic in the field of computational social science, including (a) work that advances methods and approaches for computational social science, (b) data-driven work that describes and discovers social and cultural phenomena or explains and estimates relations between them and other things, and (c) theoretical work that generates new insights, connections and frameworks for computational social science research.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Methods and analyses of integrated human-machine decision-making

• Network analysis of social systems

• Large-scale social experiments and/or phenomena

• Agent-based or other simulation of social phenomena

• Text analysis and natural language processing (NLP) of social phenomena

• Analysis of meaning through computational analysis of text, images, audio, video, etc.

• Use of computational methods to map and study cultural patterns and dynamics

• Theoretical discussions/concepts in computational social science

• Integration and triangulation of multi-modal social and cultural data

• Causal inference and computational methods for social science

• Neural network methods for social analysis and policy exploration

• Methods and analyses of algorithmic accountability and trustworthiness

• Building and evaluating socio-technical systems

• Novel digital data and/or computational analyses for addressing societal challenges

• Methods and analyses of biased, selective, or incomplete observational social data

• Social news curation and collaborative filtering

• Methods and analyses for social information / digital communication dynamics

• Ethics of computational research on human behavior

• Reproducibility in computational social science research

• Infrastructure to facilitate industry/academic cooperation in computational social science

• Computational social science research in industry, government, and philanthropy

• Science and technology studies approaches to computational science work

• Practical problems in computational social science

• Issues of inclusivity in computational social science

• All other topics in computational social science

Researchers across disciplines, faculty, graduate students, industry researchers, policy makers, and nonprofit workers are all encouraged to submit computational data-driven research and innovative computational methodological or theoretical contributions on social phenomena for consideration.

In order to present, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the presenter registration deadline (and early bird discount date) of 29 April 2022.
