Communicating with Algorithms: A Transfer Entropy Analysis of Emotions-based Escapes from Online Echo ChambersOnline algorithms have received much blame for polarizing emotions during the 2016 U.S. presidential
These "information cocoons" create insular environments or "echo chambers" in which one's own opinions become stronger and more entrenched, AI algorithms reinforce these personalized echo chambers since frequently these algorithms are built to maximize user engagement rather than information diversity. ...
Neva Labs has its work cut out for it, though. The problem of misinformation runs much deeper than sporadic cases of our friends unintentionally sharing "alternative facts" on their social media feeds, or diving down a rabbit hole of echo chambers because of over-personalisation. ...
And in most cases, because it's free, there's somebody who would really like to capture our attention, shorten our attention spans and drive us into often poisonous echo chambers. So algorithms have great potential for good. Ben Sasse: (05:13) They can also be misused and we, the ...
Representative echocardiography images and segmented cardiac chambers by experts Full size image Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility analysis To validate our manually created ground truth annotation, we performed both inter- and intra- observer variability analysis. Two sonographers, who both had more...
Algorithmic selection forms the techno-functional core of a number of Internet services and finds application in several subdomains of the media sector such as journalism, entertainment, advertising, Internet search and on social networking platforms. Algorithm-based, data-driven, automated services affect...
The ease with which social media users can unfriend those with whom they disagree pushes people into homogeneous communities, often referred to as echo chambers. Second, because many people's friends are friends of one another, they influence one another. A famous experiment demonstrated that ...
user control; algorithmic, social, and personal curation; echo chambersVaried methodologies covered, from theoretical accounts to qualitative and quantitative approaches, including mixed-methodsA cross-disciplinary glossary with terms identified during the review, which may aid a convergence of research termi...
Several impressive results were obtained, which include the formation of scenarios of polarization and consensus of opinions. In the case of echo chambers, the possibility of rewiring probability is found to be decisive. However, for particular network topologies, with a well-defined community ...
While personalizing algorithms have long had a presence on the internet, their designs and uses on SNS have come under scrutiny as they tend to create ideological echo chambers by curating personal feeds that restrict access to diverse perspectives and the discourse practices shaping them. To better...
