Quantifying attention via dwell time and engagement in a social media browsing environment
Ziv Epstein, Hause Lin, Gordon Pennycook +1
Modern computational systems have an unprecedented ability to detect, leverage and influence human attention. Prior work identified user engagement and dwell time as two key metric…
Yourfeed: Towards open science and interoperable systems for social media
Ziv Epstein, Hause Lin
Existing social media platforms (SMPs) make it incredibly difficult for researchers to conduct studies on social media, which in turn has created a knowledge gap between academia a…
When happy accidents spark creativity: Bringing collaborative speculation to life with generative AI
Ziv Epstein, Hope Schroeder, Dava Newman
Generative AI techniques like those that synthesize images from text (text-to-image models) offer new possibilities for creatively imagining new ideas. We investigate the capabilit…
Do explanations increase the effectiveness of AI-crowd generated fake news warnings?
Ziv Epstein, Nicolò Foppiani, Sophie Hilgard +3
Social media platforms are increasingly deploying complex interventions to help users detect false news. Labeling false news using techniques that combine crowd-sourcing with artif…
Social influence leads to the formation of diverse local trends
Ziv Epstein, Matthew Groh, Abhimanyu Dubey +1
How does the visual design of digital platforms impact user behavior and the resulting environment? A body of work suggests that introducing social signals to content can increase…
Interpolating GANs to Scaffold Autotelic Creativity
Ziv Epstein, Océane Boulais, Skylar Gordon +1
The latent space modeled by generative adversarial networks (GANs) represents a large possibility space. By interpolating categories generated by GANs, it is possible to create nov…
