Looking forward to being part of this 🖼️ Image as Data panel at #ic2s2 on Tuesday! I'll be presenting my recent SMR article w/ @emroberto.bsky.social on how generative multimodal models can be used for large-scale image analysis in the social sciences.

New article w/ @emroberto.bsky.social out in SMR! We introduce a framework for analyzing images 🖼️ with generative multimodal models and provide an empirical application using satellite and street images. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Thank you to this stellar team of grad students for organizing this panel! And thanks to ACM/IEEE for taking the initiative to bring social science insights to the CS community in this way--these interactions are awesome and much-needed.

Really enjoyed chatting about AI ethics and governance at the ACM/IEEE CPS/IoT Week at UC Irvine

More thanks 🙏 here (I added this acknowledgement to my syllabus and think I'll keep doing it)

Just wrapped up my first course as AP! What a humbling experience. I learned a ton about teaching undergrad stats. Big shoutout to my absolute amazing TAs (Connor Mitchell, Ronald Pikes, and Alicia Ross), and to Jacob Hibel and Ryan Finnigan for sharing their materials with me 🙏🙏🙏

Excited to be in Montreal to share some new work on AI at #ASA2024! I'll be sharing a recently published paper with Leslie McCall on the important role of sociologists in AI policymaking, and a new working paper with @emroberto.bsky.social on analyzing satellite and streetscape imagery with genAI.

Awesome talk by Jacob Faber on neighborhood and lender segregation and housing inequality at the @stone-lis.bsky.social Inequality by the Numbers Workshop

Fascinating and timely talk on political inequality and democracy in the U.S. this morning by Martin Gilens at the @stone-lis.bsky.social Inequality by the Numbers Workshop

Thanks Edwin Grimsley for kicking off the @stone-lis.bsky.social Multidisciplinary Seminar! Great talk sharing important work on the cumulative disadvantage of drug possession charges on Black-White employment and earnings disparities. stonecenter.gc.cuny.edu/multidiscipl...

We mainly wrote this for social sci PhD students interested in CSS, but offer some ideas for departments and professional associations to support their students.

Sharing with folks over here: New co-authored article out on computational social science PhD training! Thanks to so many for supporting this labor of love. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
