@icwsm
The 19th International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from June 23rd to 26th, 2025.
The Climate TikTok tour stops by Copenhagen @icwsm! I presented “Mapping the climate change discussion on TikTok” at the Poster Slam Session. I loved the 1-slide-1-min format. If you're interested, you can check out the paper: tinyurl.com/23atjxny
🚨 The deadline for submitting proposals to host ICWSM 2027 is extended! Send your proposals (and questions) to Ceren Budak by August 15
Excited to have presented a poster on ‘MetaHarm: Harmful YouTube Dataset annotated by crowdworkers, a domain expert, and GPT’ at @ICWSM in #Copenhagen! The dataset and paper are available at ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWS… Grateful to have connected with amazing people there. #icwsm
It was also such a pleasure to catch up with my coworker @oak_raj at @ICWSM! We each presented different papers here, but our work on using LLMs to mitigate harmful exposure will be presented at @ACLmeeting soon. The ACL preprint available here: arxiv.org/abs/2501.13977
🏆 The Adamic-Glance winner of this year is @kous2v.bsky.social, for foundational work in using social media and multimodal sensing data #icwsm

It’s a wrap ✨ One more edition of #icwsm is over. Amazing research outputs, insightful conversations and many new ideas! Thanks to all the organizers, chairs and volunteers who made the event possible, and to all the participants for making ICWSM 2025 a memorable edition 🇩🇰



Day 3, afternoon sessions: online news, virality, political coordination and Reddit #icwsm


On Tuesday, this happened! Thanks to my EDI-buddy @elisalvai — built this session together from scratch and had fun doing it ✨ Big thanks also to our invited speakers for making the session so interesting — not easy during a lunch break!
EDI Special Session: @robysinatra on quantifying bias and inequalities in science and Jacob Feldtfos Christensen on making equity, diversity and inclusion work in research projects. Big thanks to the EDI co-chairs @AlessiaGaldeman and @elisalvai for organizing!
I’m stoked to have received two honorable mention awards at @icwsm! With work led by @russogiusep, thorsten and Maciej! Sad I couldn’t attend this year but looking very much forward to catching up with this community next year!!!
Super excited to be at @icwsm with my RA @UCSC_LK. Sad I had to rush back missing @gvrkiran 's keynote, but looking forward to take the conversation further.
Delighted and thankful that our study "Election Polls on Social Media: Prevalence, Biases, and Voter Fraud Beliefs" (attached thread) received Best Paper Honorable Mention at @ICWSM'25! Congratulations @StephenAI @vijayalaks26304 @hide_yourself @yang3kc @junghwanyang! 🙏🎊
First paper🔬 on social polls!!!🗳️ Over 100k polls gauged support for 2020 US presidential candidates on @X, and gathered >20m votes. They favored Trump by >10% (on average). Many were used to reinforce voter fraud beliefs and were likely manipulated by bots and fake votes. 🧵1/5
Best paper award and honorable mentions 🏆 Congrats to all authors! #icwsm


Very thrilled at the @CNMnus representation at @icwsm this year!! #1 Incoming Master's student Cai Yang presenting his work on TikTok addiction!
