We discuss a set of basic questions that arise in the design and analysis of systems supporting on-line social interactions, focusing on two main issues: the role of network structure in the dynamics of social media sites, and the analysis of textual data as a way to study properties of on-line social interaction.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2013/12","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2013/0012.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2013/12.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2013/bibtex/12","volume":{"slug":"2013","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2013","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2013/","year":2013,"location":"Beijing, China","dates":"3–9 August 2013","editors":"Francesca Rossi","isbn":"978-1-57735-633-2","publisher":"AAAI Press / International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":12,"pages":{"first":2,"last":3},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
