Bots (automated accounts) in social media have gained more attention from social scientists in recent years.
The former are employed by both governments and civil society groups in order to manipulate online political
discussion in social media. Nevertheless, there is no conclusive evidence on their effectiveness as a tool
to bolster (mobilize) or suppress (demobilize) political discussion in ...

Полноценный анализ протестной активности в XXI в. невозможен без учета сложной взаимосвязи между онлайн- и офлайн-поведением различных акторов. Социальные медиа и, более широко, все интернет-пространство становятся площадкой для новых форм состязательной политики и делают возможными формы поведения, трансформирующие классические методы протеста. При этом цифровые площадки не являются нейтральными по отношению к самой коммуникации: взаимодействие пользователей ...

Social media can act as environments that accumulate and concentrate protest sentiment before it brings people to the streets. The social ties that connect people online are similar to their offline ties, and their structure can affect the diffusion of both the protest-related information and the protest itself. In addition, social media can serve as ...

Do new media promote accountability in non-democratic countries, where offline media are often suppressed? We show that blog posts, which exposed corruption in Russian state-controlled companies, had a negative causal impact on their market returns. For identification, we exploit the precise timing of blog posts by looking at within-day results with company-day fixed effects. Furthermore, ...

Estimating how uncertain an AI system is in its predictions is important to improve the safety of such systems. Uncertainty in predictive can result from uncertainty in model parameters, irreducible \emph{data uncertainty} and uncertainty due to distributional mismatch between the test and training data distributions. Different actions might be taken depending on the source of ...
