The Feel of Algorithms
by Minna RuckensteinWhy do we feel excited, afraid, and frustrated by algorithms?The Feel of Algorithms brings relatable first-person accounts of what it means to experience algorithms emotionally alongside interdisciplinary social science research, to reveal how political and economic processes are felt in the everyday. People’s algorithm stories might fail to separate fact and misconception, and circulate wishful, erroneous, or fearful views of digital technologies. Yet rather than treating algorithmic folklore as evidence of ignorance, this novel book explains why personal anecdotes are an important source of algorithmic knowledge. Minna Ruckenstein argues that we get to know algorithms by feeling their actions and telling stories about them. The Feel of Algorithms shows how taking everyday algorithmic emotions seriously balances the current discussion, which has a tendency to draw conclusions based on celebratory or oppositional responses to imagined future effects. An everyday focus zooms into experiences of pleasure, fear, and irritation, highlighting how political aims and ethical tensions play out in visions, practices, and emotional responses. This book shows that feelings aid in recognizing troubling practices, and also calls for alternatives that are currently ignored or suppressed.

Contemporary Technologies in Education: Maximizing Student Engagement, Motivation, and Learning
by A. G. Rud Olusola O. AdesopeThis edited volume provides a critical discussion of theoretical, methodological, and practical developments of contemporary forms of educational technologies. Specifically, the book discusses the use of contemporary technologies such as the Flipped Classroom (FC), Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Social Media, Serious Educational Games (SEG), Wikis, innovative learning software tools, and learning analytic approach for making sense of big data. While some of these contemporary educational technologies have been touted as panaceas, researchers and developers have been faced with enormous challenges in enhancing the use of these technologies to arouse student attention and improve persistent motivation, engagement, and learning. Hence, the book examines how contemporary technologies can engender student motivation and result in improved engagement and learning. Each chapter also discusses the road ahead and where appropriate, uses the current trend to predict future affordances of technologies.
Pathways Between Social Science and Computational Social Science: Theories, Methods, and Interpretations (Computational Social Sciences)
by Tamás Rudas Gábor PéliThis volume shows that the emergence of computational social science (CSS) is an endogenous response to problems from within the social sciences and not exogeneous. The three parts of the volume address various pathways along which CSS has been developing from and interacting with existing research frameworks. The first part exemplifies how new theoretical models and approaches on which CSS research is based arise from theories of social science. The second part is about methodological advances facilitated by CSS-related techniques. The third part illustrates the contribution of CSS to traditional social science topics, further attesting to the embedded nature of CSS. The expected readership of the volume includes researchers with a traditional social science background who wish to approach CSS, experts in CSS looking for substantive links to more traditional social science theories, methods and topics, and finally, students working in both fields.
Dataclismo: Amor, sexo, raza e identidad; lo que nuestra vida online cuenta de nosotros
by Christian Rudder¿Has pensado alguna vez las consecuencias de colgar tu intimidad en las redes sociales? Dataclismo es una investigación audaz e irreverente sobre el comportamiento humano; un nuevo enfoque a una revolución en marcha. Durante décadas las únicas herramientas para estudiar el comportamiento humano partían de encuestas o pequeños experimentos. Hoy es posible un nuevo enfoque. Debido a Internet cada vez mostramos más aspectos de nuestra vida y los investigadores pueden observar nuestro comportamiento directamente, extrapolando a grandes cifras y sin filtros. Los analistas son a día de hoy los nuevos sociólogos. En Dataclismo Christian Rudder nos explica de forma original cómo a través de los likes de Facebook se puede predecir con precisión de cirujano la orientación sexual de una persona e incluso su inteligencia, cómo las mujeres atractivas reciben más solicitudes de entrevistas; y por qué hay que tener haters para estar de moda. Muestra cómo se expresa la gente en público y en privado y otras muchas cosas más. Dataclismo es una nueva forma de vernos a nosotros mismos, un libro de alquimia en el que las matemáticas se humanizan y los números se convierten en los trovadores de nuestro tiempo. Bestseller en The New York Times La crítica ha dicho...«Rudder nos demuestra que la información que proporcionamos a título individual dice mucho sobre quiénes somos como colectivo. Una lectura que es visualmente cautivadora y un tema fascinante hacen de este libro una elección ideal.»Library Journal «Demógrafos, emprendedores, estudiantes de historia y sociología y ciudadanos de a pie por igual encontrarán multitud de provocaciones y, sí, muchos datos en las páginas de este libro.»Kirkus «Estudiar la conducta humana es como explorar una jungla: es trabajoso y lioso, y uno se pierde con facilidad. Pero Christian Rudder es un guía experto que nos desvela verdades fundamentales sobre quiénes somos.»Dan Ariely, autor de Predictably Irrational «Dataclismo es un libro repleto de secretos suculentos: secretos sobre a quién amamos, lo que anhelamos, por qué nos gusta lo que nos gusta y cómo nos hacemos cambiar de opinión y de vida unos a otros muchas veces sin siquiera saberlo.»Jane McGonigal, autora de Reality is Broken «Una mirada fascinante, casi voyeurística, sobre quiénes somos en realidad.»Steven Strogatz, profesor en la universidad de Cornell y autor de The Joy of X «Un libro divertido y profundo sobre temas importantes. La raza, el amor, el sexo... ¿Somos la suma de los datos que generamos? Lee este libro de inmediato y verás si eres capaz de responder a esa pregunta.»Errol Morris
Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves
by Christian RudderAn audacious, irreverent investigation of human behavior--and a first look at a revolution in the making Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don't need. In Dataclysm, Christian Rudder uses it to show us who we truly are. For centuries, we've relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today, a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers, and without filters. Data scientists have become the new demographers. In this daring and original book, Rudder explains how Facebook "likes" can predict, with surprising accuracy, a person's sexual orientation and even intelligence; how attractive women receive exponentially more interview requests; and why you must have haters to be hot. He charts the rise and fall of America's most reviled word through Google Search and examines the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter. He shows how people express themselves, both privately and publicly. What is the least Asian thing you can say? Do people bathe more in Vermont or New Jersey? What do black women think about Simon & Garfunkel? (Hint: they don't think about Simon & Garfunkel.) Rudder also traces human migration over time, showing how groups of people move from certain small towns to the same big cities across the globe. And he grapples with the challenge of maintaining privacy in a world where these explorations are possible. Visually arresting and full of wit and insight, Dataclysm is a new way of seeing ourselves--a brilliant alchemy, in which math is made human and numbers become the narrative of our time.From the Hardcover edition.
Dataclysm
by Christian RudderProvocative, illuminating, and visually arresting, Dataclysm is a portrait of how big data reveals our essential selves--and a first look at a revolution in the making. What is the secret to a stable marriage? How many gay people are still in the closet? Do we truly live in a postracial society? Has Twitter made us dumber? These are just a few of the questions Christian Rudder answers in Dataclysm, a smart, funny, irreverent look at how we act when we think no one's looking. For centuries we've relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers and without filters. Data scientists can quantify the formerly unquantifiable and show with unprecedented precision how we fight, how we age, how we love, and how we change. Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don't need. InDataclysm, Rudder uses it to show us who we are as people. He reveals how Facebook "likes" can predict, with surprising accuracy, a person's sexual orientation and even intelligence; how attractive women receive exponentially more job interview requests; and why you have to have haters to be hot. He charts the rise and fall of America's most reviled word through Google Search and examines the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter.

Verkest, AT&T Wireless Services, Vice-President-National Operations "The authors of this book are all experienced distance educators who know what the issues are: How are people engaged in teaching and learning at a distance "present" to one another? How do you create a community in the class? How can a teacher deal with an obstreperous student? What are the teaching/learning environments in universities and corporations as they affect distance education? The essays in this book inhabit the border where the idea of distance education meets the reality. The give practical advice and provide examples informed by both theory and experience."—Stanley Chodorow, Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Diego & Former CEO, California Virtual University

Flexible Network Architectures Security: Principles and Issues
by Bhawana RudraThe future of Internet security doesn’t lie in doing more of the same. It requires not only a new architecture, but the means of securing that architecture. Two trends have come together to make the topic of this book of vital interest. First, the explosive growth of the Internet connections for the exchange of information via networks increased the dependence of both organizations and individuals on the systems stored and communicated. This, in turn, has increased the awareness for the need to protect the data and add security as chief ingredient in the newly emerged architectures. Second, the disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured and are leading to the development of new techniques and protocols to enforce the network security in Future Internet. This book examines the new security architectures from organizations such as FIArch, GENI, and IETF and how they’ll contribute to a more secure Internet.
Futuristic Research Trends and Applications of Internet of Things
by Bhawana Rudra Anshul Verma Shekhar Verma Bhanu ShresthaThe Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnection of several devices, networks, technologies, and human resources to achieve a common goal. A variety of IoT-based applications are being used in different sectors and have succeeded in providing huge benefits to the users. As a revolution, IoT overtook the entire global landscape with its presence in almost every sector, including smart cities, smart grid, intelligent transportation, healthcare, education, and so on. This technological revolution also moved to the machines, converting them into intelligent computers that can make real-time decisions and communicate with each other, forming an Internet of Systems/Machines. The use of secure light-weight protocols will help us in developing environment-friendly and energy-efficient IoT systems. IoT is an emerging and recent area of research, adopted for many applications, and there is a need to investigate further challenges in all aspects of it. This book will provide information on fundamentals, architectures, communication protocols, use of AI, existing applications, and emerging research trends in IoT. It follows a theoretical approach to describe the fundamentals for beginners as well as a practical approach with the implementation of case studies for intermediate and advanced readers. The book will be beneficial for academicians, researchers, developers, and engineers who work in or are interested in fields related to IoT. This book serves as a reference for graduate and postgraduate courses in computer science, computer engineering, and information technology streams.
