Any good restaurant recommendations in #Maastricht?
In my invited talks, I’ll speak about #algorithm #audits using #network data, and why/how #fairness should account for relational structures like #SocialCapital, not just individual attributes. Looking forward to sharing this perspective.
Also at @icssi.bsky.social: a poster with Mingrong She, Liuhuaying Yang & Ana Jaramillo. We improve gender inference and name disambiguation for Chinese names using networks + ML.

At @icssi.bsky.social: led by another rising star Daniele Barolo w/ Chiara Valentin, Fariba Karimi, @ggmendez.bsky.social & @lgalarra.bsky.social, we audited 6 LLMs recommending experts. We found biases, inconsistencies, hallucinations & more. My first paper as PI.

At @FAccT: led by rising star Mauritz Cartier van Dissel, with Samuel Martin-Gutierrez, Ana Jaramillo and Fariba Karimi, we propose a better way to measure fairness in rankings; especially when not only the top-k matters but the full rank too. Helpful for more equitable resource distribution.
With Nikou Farsiu (#CSHVienna summer intern 2024), Marton Karsai and Daniel Corsi, we explored a decade of online conversations about cannabis use during pregnancy on Twitter in USA and Canada. Coming to #ICWSM 🌿🤰🏽

New blog post:
“Untangling the hairball using statistical inference”
https://skewed.de/tiago/posts/hairball/
TL;DR — Network visualization is often done in the wrong way: first a network layout is produced using a heuristic, and then follow-up analyses are performed and evaluated according to the layout. This is an inversion of priorities that subjugates algorithmic analyses to unreliable and often misleading visualization heuristics. Here we show how this inversion can be fixed: by performing the more meaningful algorithmic analysis first—like clustering or ordering—and then subjugating the visualization heuristics to it.

Fascinating talk by @yessieXIV@twitter.com. It turns out that #ballet dancers' success is influenced by a combination of their talent, the #prestige of their schools, and the #connections those schools have.
