Jure Leskovec (Stanford University) Host/Chair:
Human Dynamics
Social networks in many on-line applications encode a mixture of positive (friendly) and negative (antagonistic) relationships, but the bulk of research on these networks has focused almost exclusively on the positive interpretations of the links. Jure Leskovec (Stanford University) will present work on how the combination of positive and negative relationships affects the overall functioning of on-line social networks, and the interactions of the users who constitute them. |

David Rakoff, Essayist, Author, Actor Blake Snyder (IN MEMORIAM), Screenwriter, Lecturer, UCLA In today's digital era, elements of anyone's life can be captured, by themselves or others, and be instantly broadcast. With little or no regulation on the proliferation of camera technology and the increasing use of video for social communication, entertainment, and education, we have undoubtedly entered the age of ubiquitous media. A world permeated by connected video devices promises a more democratized approach to mass-media culture, enabling anyone to create and distribute personalized content. |

Ashwin Ram User-generated content is everywhere: photos, videos, news, blogs, art, music, and every other type of digital media on the Social Web. Games are no exception. From strategy games to immersive virtual worlds, game players are increasingly engaged in creating and sharing nearly all aspects of the gaming experience: maps, quests, artifacts, avatars, clothing, even games themselves. Yet, there is one aspect of computer games that is not created and shared by game players: the AI. |
