In addition to a keynote by Jaime Teevan of Microsoft Research, two featured
panels, free tutorials, and a variety of posters, this conference will focus
discussions around extended presentations on:

"Researching Real-world Web Use with Roxy, A Research Proxy"
"Tradeoffs in Accuracy and Efficiency in Supervised Learning Methods"
"An Automated Snowball Census of the Political Web"
"Facilitating Encounters with Political Difference: Engaging Voters with the
Living Voters Guide"
"InfoExtractor – A Tool for Social Media Data Mining"
"Politics 2.0 with Facebook – Collecting and Analyzing Public Comments on
Facebook for Studying Political Discourses"
"News Media Environment, Selective Perception, and the Survival of
Preference Diversity within Communication Networks"
"Ethical Considerations: Social Media as Computational Social Science"

The goal is to produce a special issue of JITP via a combination of multiple
peer review rounds and a thorough discussion with an all-in-one-room
interdisciplinary group. We are very excited to do this on the UW campus
this year, as we know the campus is home to some of the leading thinkers in
this space.

On behalf of the JITP community, I hope to see you in Seattle in May.
