DFG Research Unit Welcomes Alexander Mafael (SSE) for Social Media Guest Talk
26 July 2021, by Jochen Hartmann
In July, the DFG research unit hosted the third virtual workshop of 2021. The participants had the opportunity to listen to and discuss two insightful presentations. First, we were happy to welcome Prof. Alexander Mafael (from SSE) who presented his work “To Post or Not to Post: The Impact of Posting Frequency, Minority Opinion Perception, and Social Risk on Online Review Posting”. Next, Sven Stahlmann (from the University of Cologne) presented his work on “Word-level Needmining”. Overall, the combination of a consumer behavior and a quantitative machine learning talk were well received and sparked engaging discussions among the numerous workshop participants.
The next DFG workshop will take place on Friday, October 8.
