• Title: Identification, Impacts, and Opportunities of Three Common Measurement Considerations when using Digital Trace Data
• Abstract summary: Screenomics records media use at the granularity of individual screenshots obtained every few seconds as people interact with mobile devices. We label the considerations as follows: (1) entangling summation - the common measurement error introduced by proxying exposure to content by exposure to format; (2) flattening - aggregating unique segments of media interaction without incorporating temporal information; and (3) bundling.

• Abstract: Cataloguing specific URLs, posts, and applications with digital traces is the new best practice for measuring media use and content consumption. Despite the apparent accuracy that comes with greater granularity, however, digital traces may introduce additional ambiguity and new errors into the measurement of media use. In this note, we identify three new measurement challenges when using Digital Trace Data that were recently uncovered using a new measurement framework - Screenomics - that records media use at the granularity of individual screenshots obtained every few seconds as people interact with mobile devices. We label the considerations as follows: (1) entangling - the common measurement error introduced by proxying exposure to content by exposure to format; (2) flattening - aggregating unique segments of media interaction without incorporating temporal information, most commonly intraindividually and (3) bundling - summation of the durations of segments of media interaction, indiscriminate with respect to variations across media segments.

  We investigate discrepancies between content obtained directly during user interaction with a website (in-situ) and content scraped using the URLs of participants' logged visits (ex-situ) with various time delays. We find substantial disparities between the methodologies, uncovering that errors are not uniformly distributed across news categories. Our research emphasizes the need for data collection methods that capture web content directly in the user's environment.

  We propose an end-to-end approach to verify whether the purported time of capture of an image is consistent with its content and geographic location. The central idea is the use of supervised consistency verification, in which we predict the probability that the image content, capture time, and geographical location are consistent. Our approach improves upon previous work on a large benchmark dataset, increasing the classification accuracy from 59.03% to 81.07%.

  We present a method for automatically labelling all faces in video archives, such as TV broadcasts, by combining multiple evidence sources and multiple modalities. We provide a novel, simple, method for determining if a person is famous or not using image-search engines. We show that even for less-famous people, image-search engines can be used for corroborative evidence to accurately label faces that are named in the scene or the speech.

• Content-based Analysis of the Cultural Differences between TikTok and Douyin [95.32409577885645]
  Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.
