• Abstract: A hackathon is known as a form of civic innovation in which participants representing citizens can point out existing problems or social needs and propose a solution. Given the high social, technical, and economic potential of open government data, the concept of open data hackathons is becoming popular around the world. This concept has become popular in Latvia with the annual hackathons organized for a specific cluster of citizens called Generation Z. Contrary to the general opinion, the organizer suggests that the main goal of open data hackathons to raise an awareness of OGD has been achieved, and there has been a debate about the need to continue them. This study presents the latest findings on the role of open data hackathons and the benefits that they can bring to both the society, participants, and government.

  We first design a user-centric privacy-preserving framework based on decentralized Federated Learning (FL) for healthcare metaverses. We then utilize Age of Information (AoI) as an effective data-freshness metric and propose an AoI-based contract theory model under Prospect Theory (PT) to motivate sensing data sharing.

  This paper argues that Wikipedia has evolved beyond its original function as an online encyclopedia in an increasingly complex data-driven society. Case studies are provided from NSA government surveillance practices, the anti-SOPA legislation movement, and research that covers Wikipedia's involvement with participatory journalism, disinformation, self-censorship, and the use of Tor. This paper is a wake-up call to individuals, private institutions, and governments to remain vigilant about the storage and use of personal information as a result of contributing to online communities.

  We propose a Cross-network Social User Embedding framework, namely DP-CroSUE, to learn the comprehensive representations of users in a privacy-preserving way. In particular, for each heterogeneous social network, we first introduce a hybrid differential privacy notion to capture the variation of privacy expectations for heterogeneous data types. To further enhance user embeddings, a novel cross-network GCN embedding model is designed to transfer knowledge across networks through those aligned users.

  Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse. Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes. We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.
