• Title: Fragments of the Past: Curating Peer Support with Perpetrators of Domestic Violence
• Authors: Rosanna Bellini, Alexander Wilson, Jan David Smeddinck
• Abstract summary: We report on a ten-month study where we worked with six support workers and eighteen perpetrators in the design and deployment of Fragments of the Past. We share how crafting digitally-augmented artefacts - 'fragments' - of experiences of desisting from violence can translate messages for motivation and rapport between peers. These insights provide the basis for practical considerations for future network design with challenging populations.

• Abstract: There is growing evidence that digital peer-support networks can have a positive influence on behaviour change and wellbeing outcomes for people who harm themselves and others. However, making and sustaining such networks are subject to ethical and pragmatic challenges, particularly for perpetrators of domestic violence whom pose unique risks when brought together. In this work we report on a ten-month study where we worked with six support workers and eighteen perpetrators in the design and deployment of Fragments of the Past; a socio-material system that connects audio messages with tangible artefacts. We share how crafting digitally-augmented artefacts - 'fragments' - of experiences of desisting from violence can translate messages for motivation and rapport between peers, without subjecting the process to risks inherent with direct inter-personal communication. These insights provide the basis for practical considerations for future network design with challenging populations.

• Authenticity and exclusion: social media recommendation algorithms and the dynamics of belonging in professional networks [0.8287206589886879]
  Homophily profoundly influences social interactions, affecting associations, information disclosure, and the dynamics of social exchanges. How might the nature and design of social media platforms, where different conversational contexts frequently collapse, impact these dynamics? Our findings indicate a decline in the visibility of professional content generated by minority groups, a trend that is exacerbated over time by recommendation algorithms.

  We analyze over a quarter million job postings collected from eight relevant regions across the United States, spanning nearly two decades (2006-2024) Our investigation into the types of advertised opportunities, the modes of preferred contact, and the frequency of postings uncovers the patterns characterizing suspicious ads. This research underscores the imperative for a deeper dive into how online job boards and communication platforms could be unwitting facilitators of human trafficking.

  We take an in-depth look at the causal awareness of modern representations of agent interactions. We show that recent representations are already partially resilient to perturbations of non-causal agents. We propose a metric learning approach that regularizes latent representations with causal annotations.

  We study real social networks of 13 schools with more than 3,000 students and 60,000 declared positive and negative relations. We use neural networks to predict the relationships and to extract the probability that two students are friends or enemies. We postulate that the probabilities extracted from the neural networks control the evolution of real social networks.

  This work investigates the effects of adversaries on crowdsourced classification, under the popular Dawid and Skene model. The adversaries are allowed to deviate arbitrarily from the considered crowdsourcing model, and may potentially cooperate. We develop an approach that leverages the structure of second-order moments of annotator responses, to identify large numbers of adversaries, and mitigate their impact on the crowdsourcing task.

To identify the possible weaknesses that adversaries can exploit, we create a NeuralNews dataset composed of 4 different types of generated articles. In addition to the valuable insights gleaned from our user study experiments, we provide a relatively effective approach based on detecting visual-semantic inconsistencies.
