How to conduct experiments to study the effects of #AI based recommender systems?
About our survey on arXiv...

Luca Pappalardo @lucapappalardo.bsky.social · Jul 18

How do recommender systems shape our behavior?

📄 We review 144 studies across domains, from social media to GenAI.

🧭 With the EU Digital Services Act, data access is now possible. Our survey offers a guide to studying recommender-driven risks.

Characterizing Model Collapse in Large Language Models Using Semantic Networks and Next-Token Probability

As synthetic content increasingly infiltrates the web, generative AI models may experience an autophagy process, where they are fine-tuned using their own outputs. This autophagy could lead to a pheno...

What is Entropy?

This short book is an elementary course on entropy, leading up to a calculation of the entropy of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure. Topics covered include information, Shannon entropy...

As well as cybernetics conferences of Macy, regarding this I suggest also theories of regulation of Stafford Beer, which is less known than Wiener & co. but very interesting, also in criticism about comparison of biological and social systems

Hey blueskiers!

In case you missed it, we just uploaded the arXiv for our latest work!

This project has been such an amazing journey, thanks to the brilliant collaboration with @nicopedre.bsky.social @lucapappalardo.bsky.social and Renaud Lambiotte.

Give it a look :)
