• Abstract: In online crowdsourcing labour markets, employers decide which job-seekers to hire based on their reputation profiles. If reputation systems neglect the aspect of time when displaying reputation profiles, though, employers risk taking false decisions, deeming an obsolete reputation to be still relevant. As a consequence, job-seekers might be unwarrantedly deprived of getting hired for new jobs and can be harmed in their professional careers in the long-run. This paper argues that exposing employers to the temporal context of job-seekers' reputation leads to better hiring decisions. The visible temporal context in reputation systems helps employers to ignore a job-seeker's obsolete reputation. An experimental lab study with 335 students shows that current reputation systems fall short of making them aware of obsolete reputation. In contrast, graphical time cues improve the social efficiency of hiring decisions.

  We show that unsolicited calls are in slow decline, though complaints and call volumes remain high. We find that robocallers have managed to adapt to STIR/SHAKEN, a mandatory call authentication scheme. In total, our findings highlight the most promising directions for future efforts to characterize and stop telephone spam.

  Language models (LMs) can produce errors that are hard to detect for humans, especially when the task is complex. We study this phenomenon under a standard RLHF pipeline, calling it "U-SOPHISTRY" since it is Unintended by model developers. Our results highlight an important failure mode of RLHF and call for more research in assisting humans to align them.

  This paper offers a comprehensive study of the reported types of reputation manipulation scenarios that might be exercised in Stack Overflow. We found four different types of reputation fraud scenarios, such as voting rings where communities form to upvote each other repeatedly on similar posts. We developed algorithms that enable platform managers to automatically identify these suspicious reputation gaming scenarios for review.
