While limited to one ABM, this work fills a critical gap in the ABM calibration literature, providing the first structured comparison of DA and LBI for latent state inference.

Kudos to Marco, Corrado, and Gianmarco for such a wonderful collaboration!

Hope you enjoy it

Almost back from #ic2s2 (thanks Lufthansa). The most positively-surprising impression from the conference, almost a decade after the first edition, is how much the discipline has coalesced. In 2016, it was easy to distinguish a paper authored by computer scientists vs sociologists. Not so easy now!

FOMO for #ic2s2 is hitting hard---especially for Francesco, who is bravely pretending he’s totally fine without me.

Go check out our poster on early linguistic fingerprints of conspiracy theorists on Reddit (w. @gdfm.bsky.social )!

🚨Are moral judgements biased by the gender of the subject?
We find *no* direct effect when looking at Reddit!

Our causal study design is based on carefully matching similar situations that people with different genders experience (and share).
