IC2S2 2018 - 2018 4th Annual International Conference on Computational Social Science

We welcome submissions on any topic in the field of computational social science, including (a) work that advances methods and approaches in computational social science, (b) data-driven work that describes or explains social phenomena, and (c) theoretical work that generates new insights into 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 text analysis and NLP (including topic modeling, etc.)
Use of computational methods to map and study cultural patterns and dynamics
Theoretical discussions/concepts in computational social science
Causal inference and computational methods for social science
Methods and analyses of algorithmic accountability
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
Methodological integration and triangulation of social data
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
Science and technology studies approaches to computational science work
