Academic job market post! 👀 I’m a CS Postdoc at Stanford in the Stanford Human-Computer Interaction Group group. I develop ways to improve the online information ecosystem, by designing better social media feeds & improving Wikipedia. I work on AI, Social Computing, and HCI. piccardi.me 🧵

The Twitter exodus has started, but maybe it should have started long ago? Our new study in Nature Communications shows that political abuse on X is a global, widespread, and cross-partisan phenomenon nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are hiring a postdoc at my group (SUNLab) Network Science Institute. Interested in working on multidisciplinary problems like segregation, health, or economic growth from the perspective of Social Urban Networks? Contact me if you are interested.

Our Prisoner's Dilemma work got accepted to ICWSM! Looking forward to next year's edition in Copenhagen. Francesco Pierri

Open PhD position with me Queen Mary Maths on a project entitled: "Including socioeconomic indicators into mathematical epidemic models" findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

New paper: Do social media algorithms shape affective polarization? We ran a field experiment on X/Twitter (N=1,256) using LLMs to rerank content in real-time, adjusting exposure to polarizing posts. Result: Algorithmic ranking impacts feelings toward the political outgroup!🧵⬇️

🎉 Paper alert! We explored how LLMs can generate engaging content in social networks, adapting to user opinions and network dynamics. Using RLSF, our approach aligns content to topics to maximize engagement. arxiv.org/abs/2411.13187 #AI #LLMs #SocialEngagement

📢 Fresh off the press: Human-AI Coevolution 🚀 PDF: barabasi.com/science/public… Humans & AI shape each other in feedback loops with big societal impacts. Bridging AI, complexity science & society, with real-world examples. A call for a new interdisciplinary field! #AI #Complexity

Excited to see this finally out. Here a 🧵 on the topic.

New tool to estimate the level of participation in collective action expressed in natural language. Applied to social media, it can produce large-scale and granular estimates of behavior change wrt collective action. Check it out: github.com/ariannap13/ext… Carlsbergfondet @ITUkbh

New paper accepted! Jacopo Lenti will be in #TheWebConf25 in Sydney 🇦🇺🦘 to present "Causal modeling of climate activism on Reddit", carried out during the visiting at ITU of Copenhagen, in collaboration with Luca Maria Aiello (lajello.bsky.social) , Corrado Monti and Gianmarco De Francisci Morales @gdfm.bsky.social .

Great experience in Sydney at #WWW2025! 🐨 Today I presented the paper "Causal modeling of climate activism on Reddit", the work done during my visiting period in Copenhagen with the amazing team Corrado Monti , Luca Maria Aiello (lajello.bsky.social) and Gianmarco De Francisci Morales @gdfm.bsky.social ! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

New paper out: "More is different" & the LLMs. LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour. With Ariel Flint Ashery and Luca Maria Aiello (lajello.bsky.social) 1/
