At #ACMHT2025 day 4, Yavuz Selim Kartal (from @gesis.org) discusses supplementing social media posts with AI-generated summaries, which are perceived as most understandable form of enrichment as compared to metadata enrichment or pull quotes. @acmht.bsky.social #HT2025

Almost all participants in their interviews mentioned fairness in musicRecSys came down to paying the artists. Secondarily was alg. bias &popularity bias as interview insights.

Not everyone agreed that imbalance in the sys meant it was unfair. Many also wanted transparency & control.

Ágnes Horvát highlights in her @acmht.bsky.social keynote that the frequency of certain words in PubMed abstracts has drastically increased due to authors massaging their texts with LLMs. #HT2025 #ACMHT2025

At the #HT2025 Day 3 keynote, Ágnes Horvát asks, "How is science effectively promoted in online social spaces? Does self-publicity online lead to a tangible increase in citations?"

When we account for venue, popularity of authors, etc., there still seems to be a net positive.

In his #nht25 prez @ #HT25, David Millard (@hoosfoos.bsky.social) ids the parallels between hypertext & those that will come as a result of gen AI. Who controls meaning? What are the boundaries of text? We typically think of AI as an assistant, the human being's still the wordsmith.

They utilized the timestamp of a tweet to estimate the time that a tweet has been archived. They then established left & right time boundaries to limit search space to make resolving captured tweets from the web archive more efficient.

1. Reconstruct a tweet URL based on the embedded parameters in a tweet 2. Search @archive.org. Web archives are most useful when the Tweet (or account) is no longer on the live web. - @tarannum44.bsky.social #ACMHT2025

Another reason fake tweets are shared is for satire. 100k likes and no comments is suspicious. How can you tell it's real? Web archives serve as a good src of evidence that it's real. Their goal is to build an automated method for evidence that a tweet is authentic @tarannum44.bsky.social #ACMHT2025

In his #ACMHT2025 talk, Mariusz Pisarski asks the questions about Google's AI integration into their search UI stating that research shows that users largely don't click on results at all, but instead rely on the provided summaries.

Hashing the first few letters and having a linear search is a perfectly reasonable data structure and works well for a collection of thousands, probably better than a full sort.

@eastgate.bsky.social @ @human-ht.bsky.social:The problem w/ dealing w/ lots of stuff: there's always more to read & more questions to pursue. Even in antiquity, we have people that used thousands of srcs. Ancient collections assume readers want multiple tellings & read against them. #ACMHT2025

At @human-ht.bsky.social at #ACMHT2025: @eastgate.bsky.social describes historical compression: We want to compress messages, because every bit is expensive. When your bits are inscribed in stone, they are really expensive.

How would hypertext help for census date resolution? Cathy Marshall discusses in her @human-ht.bsky.social keynote at #ACMHT2025, "It's important to be able to back out records when Ruth isn't Paul's bio mother & that all her records should be deprecated. The cost for link-making is high and noisy."
