Great work from my wonderful colleagues!!!
(1) How did coverage of China change after NYT/Wapo/WSJ journalists were expelled in March 2020? Slight changes, but largely resilient — new paper with

Visuals play a crucial role, but not all visuals are equal. Our research shows that photographs featuring crowds are particularly successful in attracting audience engagement. Human-based photographs also perform better than non-photograph visuals in terms of audience engagement.

As these video features were correlated with each other, we established three types of fact-checking videos on Douyin through feature
#clustering
: long storytelling cartoons, short stimulating videos, and short authoritative videos.

This paper saw its first draft in my first year of PhD, and landed finally in sight in my fifth year. It was indeed a hard journey, and I want to say THANK YOU to: our participants, our best colleagues and RAs of the

Exciting work!!
New paper
@JournalSafeTech
takes a deep dive on the potential of "Mis-experiences" and highlights the experiential, immersive nature of false information in VR. Instead of being alarmist, we suggest ways to bring more stakeholders into the conversation.

Applying unsupervised image clustering on millions of visuals, we identified four main content categories: crowd-based protest photos, non-crowd-protest human photos, non-human photos, and non-photograph visuals.

Great paper for people who want to do large-scale image analysis and who are interested in
#imageasdata
! I myself got so many inspirations from Yilang's work and I believe this unsupervised image clustering method has great potentials to solve different research questions!
Do you have large-scale image data but don't know where to start?
In a new article in Sociological Methods & Research, we (w/
@hanzhang_pton
) introduce image clustering as an unsupervised method to automatically discover hidden categories from unlabeled images.

Yesterday I had a great talk with one of my academic heroes Prof. Guobin Yang at UPenn. We talked much about the media trend, research, and the field. That excitement and all inspirations I got reactivated my sleeping disorder (slept for only 4hrs. RIP for my last 2 days in Quals

We collected 4,309 videos from nine Douyin
#factchecking
accounts, and analyzed them by: (1) automated analysis to extract audiovisual features through
#computervision
and
#audio
analysis (e.g., brightness); and (2)
#contentanalysis
to annotate persuasive strategies (e.g., humor)
