Incorporating Computational Social Science in Political Science

2022
This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of incorporating computational social science (CSS) into political science. Using an original dataset of quantitative methods courses offered at the top-40 schools, this study shows that CSS courses are currently underrepresented, but their number is likely to augment because of the competition ...

Visualization Needs in Computational Social Sciences

Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2019, 2019
With the advent of digital humanities and computational social sciences, machine learning techniques like topic modeling are increasingly employed by social scientists and humanities scholars. This poses the question what visualization needs these researchers have when confronted with such complex systems.

Computation and Social Science

2014
Social scientists have used computation since the days of the earliest digital computers. What is the role of computation in contemporary Computational Social Science (CSS) theory and research? How does computation provide a deeper understanding of social complexity? This chapter is not an introduction to computing for social scientists.

Online Experiments for Computational Social Science

Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on World Wide Web, 2015
Experiments are the gold standard for establishing causal relationships. While Web-based experiments ("A/B tests") have routinely been used to assess alternative ranking models or user interface designs, they have become increasingly popular for answering important questions in the social sciences.

Computational Social Sciences

2017
Computational social sciences is a research discipline at the interface between computer science and the traditional social sciences. This interdisciplinary and emerging scientific field uses computationally methods to analyze and model social phenomena, social structures, and collective behavior.

Social-psychological models for computational social science.

2022
Social models for human interaction at scale, such as the ones used to predict the diffusion of information or adoption of beliefs through social media, can start from individual or social assumptions about human behavior. Equally important is to consider the purposive nature of human behavior.

Computer science education for social good

Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science education, 2013
Computation and algorithmic thinking have become essential components for solving problems in many different fields. As such, computer scientists are intimately involved in finding solutions to some of the most pressing social, economic, and scientific problems of our day.
