Essays on Social Networks in Development Economics: Measurement, Learning, and Implications

Description:

Social networks play a crucial role in developing economies. One of their most important functions is facilitating the flow of information, particularly about the efficacy of new technologies. This dissertation explores three aspects of this research agenda. First, I study how economists can estimate the structure of a social network...

The Impact of Entity Resolution on Observed Social Network Structure

Description:

Deduplication, also referred to as "entity resolution", is a common and crucial pre-processing step in the construction of social networks. Traditional deduplication methods compare the attributes (such as name and age) of potential matching pairs to estimate a match probability for a pair. Recently research has used clustering techniques for...

There's Hope in the System: Towards a Strength-Driven Design Approach to Support the Information Work of Sheltered Emerging Adults

Description:

This dissertation asks how can researchers more equitably design sociotechnical interventions to support the information work of sheltered emerging adults. Through two research studies, I explore the technology use in fulfilling the information needs among this population as well as how their environment impacts their strengths and information practices. I...

Using Computational Models to Create Perceptually Relevant User Interfaces for Nonvisual Artifacts

Description:

Our experience of the physical world is mediated by our senses, but while most people have five senses, interactions with computer systems are largely limited to the visual sense. When working with nonvisual artifacts, like sound, on computers, such artifacts are typically transformed, or re-encoded, into something visual. Determining how...

Biases as Values: Evaluating Algorithms in Context

Description:

This dissertation asks how researchers can create more equitable algorithmic systems. Ultimately, this thesis explores methods and implications of representing subjects of analysis in the design and evaluation of algorithmic systems. I also unpack how algorithmic tools measure and quantify human behavior, giving heed to the potential impacts of these...

Presenting the Self on Unstable Ground: Adaptive Folk Theorization as a Path to Algorithmic Literacy on Changing Platforms

Description:

Algorithmically-driven social platforms present a challenge for self-presentation and identity management by obscuring audiences behind algorithmic mechanisms. Users are increasingly aware of this and actively adapting through folk theorization, but we do not know how users are coping with the constant change endemic to these platforms. We also do not...
