From: Allison Berke <[email protected]> Please join us for our February Cyber Initiative seminar, Behavioral Research and Decision-Making in the Age of the Internet.
How are online platforms affecting the collection and analysis of data? How does the internet change the types of research individuals and organizations can conduct? This seminar will touch on new models of IRB approval, the reproducibility problem inherent to the use of proprietary data, and the use of platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk, Survey Monkey, and Facebook to conduct research. We will also examine ethical issues with the use of algorithms to automate formerly human-centric decision-making processes involving large amounts of data. Speakers: Ashish Goel (MS&E; formerly technical advisor and research fellow at Twitter), Naomi Grewal (SurveyMonkey), Jeff Hancock (Communication), and Rob MacCoun (Law) When: Monday, February 8, 2016 from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM (PST) Where: Stanford Law School Room 190 - 559 Nathan Abbott Way Stanford, CA 94305 RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/behavioral-research-in-the-age-of-the-internet-tickets-21123403669 Thanks! ---- Allison Berke, PhD Executive Director, Stanford Cyber Initiative [email protected] office: (650) 724-6804 -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
