• Abstract: This paper investigates the shift in crowdsourcing towards self-managed enterprises of crowdworkers (SMECs), diverging from traditional platform-controlled models. It reviews the literature to understand the foundational aspects of this shift, focusing on identifying key factors that may explain the rise of SMECs, particularly concerning power dynamics and tensions between Online Labor Platforms (OLPs) and crowdworkers. The study aims to guide future research and inform policy and platform development, emphasizing the importance of fair labor practices in this evolving landscape.

  Conversation Analysis (CA) strives to uncover and analyze critical information from conversation data. In this paper, we perform a thorough review and systematize CA task to summarize the existing related work. We derive four key steps of CA from conversation scene reconstruction, to in-depth attribution analysis, and then to performing targeted training, finally generating conversations.

  This paper introduces the Occupation Life Cycle (OLC) model to explore the trajectory of occupations. Using job posting data from one of China's largest recruitment platforms, we track the fluctuations and emerging trends in the labor market from 2018 to 2023. Our findings offer a unique perspective on the interplay between occupational evolution and economic factors, with a particular focus on the Chinese labor market.

• Evaluating Interventional Reasoning Capabilities of Large Language Models [58.52919374786108]
  Large language models (LLMs) can estimate causal effects under interventions on different parts of a system. We conduct empirical analyses to evaluate whether LLMs can accurately update their knowledge of a data-generating process in response to an intervention. We create benchmarks that span diverse causal graphs (e.g., confounding, mediation) and variable types, and enable a study of intervention-based reasoning.

  We introduce a framework for understanding, modeling, and possibly solving issues of fairness in decision-making settings. The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms. Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.

  We conduct interviews and workshops with AI practitioners to identify practitioners' processes, challenges, and needs for support. We find that practitioners face challenges when choosing performance metrics, identifying the most relevant direct stakeholders and demographic groups. We identify impacts on fairness work stemming from a lack of engagement with direct stakeholders, business imperatives that prioritize customers over marginalized groups, and the drive to deploy AI systems at scale.
