Abstract: Studying human values is instrumental for cross-cultural research, enabling a better understanding of preferences and behaviour of society at large and communities therein. To study the dynamics of communities online, we propose a method to computationally analyse values present on Reddit. Our method allows analysis at scale, complementing survey based approaches. We train a value relevance and a value polarity classifier, which we thoroughly evaluate using in-domain and out-of-domain human annotations. Using these, we automatically annotate over six million posts across 12k subreddits with Schwartz values. Our analysis unveils both previously recorded and novel insights into the values prevalent within various online communities. For instance, we discover a very negative stance towards conformity in the Vegan and AbolishTheMonarchy subreddits. Additionally, our study of geographically specific subreddits highlights the correlation between traditional values and conservative U.S. states. Through our work, we demonstrate how our dataset and method can be used as a complementary tool for qualitative study of online communication.

Rater Cohesion and Quality from a Vicarious Perspective [22.445283423317754]
Vicarious annotation is a method for breaking down disagreement by asking raters how they think others would annotate the data. We employ rater cohesion metrics to study the potential influence of political affiliations and demographic backgrounds on raters' perceptions of offense. We study how the rater quality metrics influence the in-group and cross-group rater cohesion across the personal and vicarious levels.

Community Needs and Assets: A Computational Analysis of Community Conversations [11.456416081243654]
We introduce the first dataset about community needs and assets consisting of 3,511 conversations from Reddit. Using this dataset, we evaluate an utterance-level classification model compared to sentiment classification and a popular large language model. We observe through our study that conversations about needs have negative sentiments and emotions, while conversations about assets focus on location and entities.

Fairness meets Cross-Domain Learning: a new perspective on Models and Metrics [80.07271410743806]
We study the relationship between cross-domain learning (CD) and model fairness. We introduce a benchmark on face and medical images spanning several demographic groups as well as classification and localization tasks. Our study covers 14 CD approaches alongside three state-of-the-art fairness algorithms and shows how the former can outperform the latter.

Learning to Adapt Domain Shifts of Moral Values via Instance Weighting [74.94940334628632]
Classifying moral values in user-generated text from social media is critical to understanding community cultures. Moral values and language usage can change across the social movements. We propose a neural adaptation framework via instance weighting to improve cross-domain classification tasks.

This Must Be the Place: Predicting Engagement of Online Communities in a Large-scale Distributed Campaign [70.69387048368849]
We study the behavior of communities with millions of active members. We develop a hybrid model, combining textual cues, community meta-data, and structural properties. We demonstrate the applicability of our model through Reddit's r/place a large-scale online experiment.

Making Online Communities 'Better': A Taxonomy of Community Values on Reddit [16.95132030488259]
We present the first study that elicits values directly from members across a diverse set of communities. We develop and validate a comprehensive taxonomy of community values, consisting of 29 subcategories within nine top-level categories. Using our taxonomy, we reframe existing research problems, such as managing influxes of new members, as tensions between different values.

A Comprehensive Survey on Community Detection with Deep Learning [93.40332347374712]
A community reveals the features and connections of its members that are different from those in other communities in a network. This survey devises and proposes a new taxonomy covering different categories of the state-of-the-art methods. The main category, i.e., deep neural networks, is further divided into convolutional networks, graph attention networks, generative adversarial networks and autoencoders.

Human Trajectory Forecasting in Crowds: A Deep Learning Perspective [89.4600982169]
We present an in-depth analysis of existing deep learning-based methods for modelling social interactions. We propose two knowledge-based data-driven methods to effectively capture these social interactions. We develop a large scale interaction-centric benchmark TrajNet++, a significant yet missing component in the field of human trajectory forecasting.
