Research shows that exposure to suicide-related news media content is associated with suicide rates, with some content characteristics likely having harmful and others potentially protective effects. Although good evidence exists for a few…
Toxic language detection systems often falsely flag text that contains minority group mentions as toxic, as those groups are often the targets of online hate. Such over-reliance on spurious correlations also causes systems to struggle with…
The increasing growth of social media provides us with an instant opportunity to be informed of the opinions of a large number of politically active individuals in real-time. We can get an overall idea of the ideologies of these individuals…
