Reconciling the Quality vs Popularity Dichotomy in Online Cultural Markets
We propose a simple model of an idealized online cultural market in which $N$ items, endowed with a hidden quality metric, are recommended to users by a ranking algorithm possibly biased by the current items' popularity.
Right and left, partisanship predicts (asymmetric) vulnerability to misinformation
We analyze the relationship between partisanship, echo chambers, and vulnerability to online misinformation by studying news sharing behavior on Twitter.

Detection of Novel Social Bots by Ensembles of Specialized Classifiers
The ensemble of specialized classifiers (ESC) can better generalize, leading to an average improvement of 56\% in F1 score for unseen accounts across datasets.
Recency predicts bursts in the evolution of author citations
The citations process for scientific papers has been studied extensively.
Arming the public with artificial intelligence to counter social bots
Researchers have responded by developing AI tools to arm the public in the fight against social bots.

Finding Streams in Knowledge Graphs to Support Fact Checking
The volume and velocity of information that gets generated online limits current journalistic practices to fact-check claims at the same rate.
The spread of low-credibility content by social bots
Communication, cognitive, social, and computer scientists are engaged in efforts to study the complex causes for the viral diffusion of misinformation online and to develop solutions, while search and social media platforms are beginning to deploy countermeasures.

Online Human-Bot Interactions: Detection, Estimation, and Characterization
Increasing evidence suggests that a growing amount of social media content is generated by autonomous entities known as social bots.

Information Overload in Group Communication: From Conversation to Cacophony in the Twitch Chat
Our analysis reveals the existence of a transition from a conversational state to a cacophony --- a state of overload with lower user participation, more copy-pasted messages, and less information per message.

Predicting online extremism, content adopters, and interaction reciprocity
We present a machine learning framework that leverages a mixture of metadata, network, and temporal features to detect extremist users, and predict content adopters and interaction reciprocity in social media.
BotOrNot: A System to Evaluate Social Bots
While most online social media accounts are controlled by humans, these platforms also host automated agents called social bots or sybil accounts.

The DARPA Twitter Bot Challenge
A number of organizations ranging from terrorist groups such as ISIS to politicians and nation states reportedly conduct explicit campaigns to influence opinion on social media, posing a risk to democratic processes.
On predictability of rare events leveraging social media: a machine learning perspective
However, extents and contexts in which such forecasting power can be effectively leveraged are still unverified at least in a systematic way.
Clustering memes in social media streams
The problem of clustering content in social media has pervasive applications, including the identification of discussion topics, event detection, and content recommendation.
The Rise of Social Bots
The Turing test aimed to recognize the behavior of a human from that of a computer algorithm.
