SUMMARY:Shadi Rezapour\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Information Science\,
  College of Computing & Informatics\, Drexel University
DESCRIPTION: \n\nABSTRACT:\n\nExposure to information sources of different 
 types and modalities\,\nsuch as social media\, movies\, scholarly reports 
 and interactions with\nother communities can change a person’s values as
  well as their\nknowledge and attitude toward various social phenomena. Th
 is\npresentation outlines our methods for (1) measuring the impact of\ndif
 ferent types of information on individuals and (2) analyzing the\ninfluenc
 e of personal values and socio-cultural contexts on everyday\ninteractions
  and communication. Our projects leverage natural language\nprocessing\, m
 achine learning and social network analysis within the\nfield of computati
 onal social science to investigate user-generated\ntexts (e.g.\, social me
 dia and customer reviews) and professionally\ngenerated texts (e.g.\, scho
 larly publications and organizational\ndocuments). By examining diverse so
 cial contexts and language aspects\,\nwe can develop computational models 
 that are more socially aware and\nhuman-centered. This talk provides insig
 hts and approaches to better\nunderstand people’s attitudes toward socia
 l events and issues\, and\nimprove interpersonal and societal discourse.\n
