Minorities in Social and Information Netwo rks

< span lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> \;< /p>

Abstract

  \;

Networks are the infrastructure of our social and professiona l life and also of modern information systems where billions of documents and entities are interlinked.

However\, not all nodes are e qual in these networks. Often we observe attributes (e.g. gender or ethnic ity) that define the group membership of a node.

In this ta lk I will explore the role of minorities in social networks and informatio n networks\, provide empirical evidence for the disadvantage of minorities and discuss factors that may place minorities at a disadvantage.

Claudia Wagner is an assistant pr ofessor (W1) in Computer Science at University Koblenz-Landau and the inte rim Scientific Director of the department Computational Social Science at GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. Wagner received her PhD from Graz University of Technology in 2013\, before she joined GESIS as p ostdoctoral researcher (2013-2016).

Prior to that she condu cted several international research internships\, among others at HP labs\ , Xerox PARC \; and the Open Uni versity. To date\, she has been awarded substantial research funding eithe r as a PI or co-PI\, was awarded with a DOC-fFORTE fellowship from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and received four best paper awards (at ESWC 2010\, SocialCom 2012\, I CWSM 2014\, WebSci 2015).

< p class=MsoNormal>Her res earch focuses on computational methods and models for analyzing social iss ues (e.g. gender inequality\, sexism) and social phenomena (e.g. collectiv e attention\, culture) using digital traces.
