• Title: Modeling Framing in Immigration Discourse on Social Media
• Authors: Julia Mendelsohn, Ceren Budak, David Jurgens
• Abstract summary: framing of political issues can influence policy and public opinion. We create a new dataset of immigration-related tweets labeled for multiple framing typologies from political communication theory. We show how users' ideology and region impact framing choices, and how a message's framing influences audience responses.

• Abstract: The framing of political issues can influence policy and public opinion. Even though the public plays a key role in creating and spreading frames, little is known about how ordinary people on social media frame political issues. By creating a new dataset of immigration-related tweets labeled for multiple framing typologies from political communication theory, we develop supervised models to detect frames. We demonstrate how users' ideology and region impact framing choices, and how a message's framing influences audience responses. We find that the more commonly-used issue-generic frames obscure important ideological and regional patterns that are only revealed by immigration-specific frames. Furthermore, frames oriented towards human interests, culture, and politics are associated with higher user engagement. This large-scale analysis of a complex social and linguistic phenomenon contributes to both NLP and social science research.

• A graph-based approach to extracting narrative signals from public discourse [4.14360329494344]
  We propose a graph-based formalism and machine-guided method for extracting, representing, and analyzing selected narrative signals. We study political narratives that figure in texts from digital media such as archived political speeches, social media posts, political manifestos and transcripts of parliamentary debates.

  We focus on Twitter messages from social movements surrounding three issues in 2018-2019 (guns, immigration, and LGBTQ rights) We create a codebook, annotated dataset, and computational models to detect diagnostic (problem identification and attribution), prognostic (proposed solutions and tactics), and motivational (calls to action) framing strategies. For example, we show that diagnostic framing is more common in replies than original broadcast posts, and that social movement organizations focus much more on prognostic and motivational framing than journalists and ordinary citizens.

We construct social-aware descriptive language prompts with social relationships for each image. Impressively, ConSoR outperforms previous methods with a 12.2% gain on the People-in-Social-Context (PISC) dataset and a 9.8% increase on the People-in-Photo-Album (PIPA) benchmark.

• Modeling Political Orientation of Social Media Posts: An Extended Analysis [0.0]
  Developing machine learning models to characterize political polarization on online social media presents significant challenges. These challenges mainly stem from various factors such as the lack of annotated data, presence of noise in social media datasets, and the sheer volume of data. We introduce two methods that leverage on news media bias and post content to label social media posts. We demonstrate that current machine learning models can exhibit improved performance in predicting political orientation of social media posts.
