This paper offers a domain-mediated comparative review of 251 studies on public attitudes toward AI, published between 2011 and 2025. Drawing on a systematic literature review, we analyse how different factors including perceived benefits…
The extensive use of social media for sharing and obtaining information has resulted in the development of topic detection models to facilitate the comprehension of the overwhelming amount of short and distributed posts. Probabilistic topic…
AI-based social media platforms has already transformed the nature of economic and social interaction. AI enables the massive scale and highly personalized nature of online information sharing that we now take for granted. Extensive…
Aspect-based opinion mining is widely applied to review data to aggregate or summarize opinions of a product, and the current state-of-the-art is achieved with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)-based model. Although social media data like…
With the increasing popularity of social media, online interpersonal communication now plays an essential role in people's everyday information exchange. Whether and how a newcomer can better engage in the community has attracted great…
Wildfires have become increasingly frequent, irregular, and severe in recent years. Understanding how affected populations perceive and respond during wildfire crises is critical for timely and empathetic disaster response. Social media…
The concept of openness in AI has so far been heavily inspired by the definition and community practice of open source software. This positions openness in AI as having positive connotations; it introduces assumptions of certain advantages,…
Energy production and management face significant political, economic, and environmental challenges, yet the rise in information consumption through social media undermines the availability of reliable knowledge to the general public. This…
We study human AI-detection behaviour at scale using a year of activity from r/RealOrAI, a Reddit community where users collaboratively assess whether visual media is real or AI-generated. The community is moderated by a bot that solicits…
Building a natural language dataset requires caution since word semantics is vulnerable to subtle text change or the definition of the annotated concept. Such a tendency can be seen in generative tasks like question-answering and dialogue…
Automatic evaluation of open-domain dialogue response generation is very challenging because there are many appropriate responses for a given context. Existing evaluation models merely compare the generated response with the ground truth…
This study presents a data-driven analysis of COVID-19 discourse on YouTube, examining the sentiment, toxicity, and thematic patterns of video content published between January 2023 and October 2024. The analysis involved applying advanced…
Extracting coherent and human-understandable themes from large collections of unstructured historical newspaper archives presents significant challenges due to topic evolution, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) noise, and the sheer volume…
As the societal implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to grow, the pursuit of responsible AI necessitates public engagement in its development and governance processes. This involvement is crucial for capturing diverse…
Deliberative democratic theory suggests that civic competence: the capacity to navigate disagreement, weigh competing values, and arrive at collective decisions is not innate but developed through practice. Yet opportunities to cultivate…
We present Viola, an open-domain dialogue system for spoken conversation that uses a topic-agnostic dialogue manager based on a simple generate-and-rank approach. Leveraging recent advances of generative dialogue systems powered by large…
A significant share of political discourse occurs online on social media platforms. Policymakers and researchers try to understand the role of social media design in shaping the quality of political discourse around the globe. In the past…
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has generated considerable speculation regarding their transformative potential for labor markets. However, existing approaches to measuring AI exposure in the workforce predominantly…
What makes a public talk resonate with large audiences? While prior research has emphasized speaker delivery or topic novelty, we reasoned that a core driver of engagement is linguistic clarity. This aligns with theories of processing…
Making theory-of-mind inferences from human dialogue is a strong indicator of a model's underlying social abilities, which are fundamental for adept AI assistants. However, large language and reasoning models struggle to understand…
