SUMMARY:Consumer (Dis)Empowerment in the Age of Computational Advertising
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Presented by A/Prof Joanna Strycharz\, this talk addresses the evolving relationship between consumer empowerment and regulatory governance in the context of data-driven advertising.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Building on critical analyses from earlier research on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)\, it examines the extent to which existing frameworks succeed or fail in protecting consumers against potentially manipulative\, algorithmically driven persuasion practices. The discussion further situates these developments within the evolving EU regulatory landscape\, including the Digital Services Act and the proposed Digital Fairness Act\, to assess their implications for transparency\, consumer control and consumer autonomy. By tracing the conceptual shift from individual privacy protection toward systemic notions of digital fairness and vulnerability\, I hope to offer a comprehensive perspective on the potential and limitations of current regulatory instruments in genuine consumer empowerment in the contemporary advertising ecosystem. \nSpeakers Bio\nJoanna Strycharz is an Assistant Professor of Persuasive Communication at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR)\, University of Amsterdam. Her research focuses on advertising in the age of algorithms and artificial intelligence\, with a particular emphasis on consumer vulnerability\, empowerment\, and individual and societal consequences of algorithmic persuasion. She is the recipient of a prestigious Dutch Research Council Veni grant for her project on vulnerability exploitation through algorithmic persuasion and co-directs the Digital Communication Methods Lab\, where she fosters interdisciplinary collaborations to advance computational advertising research. Her research has been published in journals such as the Journal of Advertising\, International Journal of Advertising\, Journal of Business Research and Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication. She serves on the Editorial Review Boards of four different advertising journals\, is an associate editor for Journal of Advertising\, and was an associate editor for Journal of Interactive Advertising. She is the recipient of the 2024 Mary Alice Shaver Promising Professor Award and the 2021 AEJMC Emerging Scholar Grant. Beyond academia\, she actively contributes to debates on ethical and responsible advertising and works with policymakers\, and consumer organizations to translate research into societal and policy impact. \nRegistration and Zoom link via the ADM+S Members calendar invite.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Workshop: Studying Digital Vulnerabilities through Data Donation with A/Prof Joanna Strycharz
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Presented by A/Prof Joanna Strycharz\, this interactive workshop explores how scholars can study digital vulnerabilities in the context of advertising and branded communication.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This interactive workshop will begin by discussing how computational advertising challenges traditional notions of consumer vulnerability and shifts attention toward data-driven and digital vulnerability. Participants will engage with a hands-on data donation tool\, recently developed to collect real-world platform data on advertising exposure\, targeting\, and profiling practices. Together\, we will experiment with donated datasets and brainstorm how such data can be linked to key advertising and communication theories (e.g.\, persuasion knowledge\, privacy calculus\, or vulnerability frameworks). The workshop combines conceptual discussion with practical exploration\, offering participants concrete ideas for integrating data-driven approaches into research on digital persuasion and consumer vulnerability. \nSpeakers Bio\nJoanna Strycharz is an Assistant Professor of Persuasive Communication at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR)\, University of Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:2025 ADM+S Hackathon: Navigating the "Wicked Problems" of Search
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”All ADM+S members are invited to participate\, no previous or technical experience necessary. We are looking for team participants\, team mentors and leaders\, and roving mentors.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Challenge\nTo develop a methodological approach which helps gain a deeper understanding of how search systems enable and constrain diverse groups facing “wicked problems”. This may be achieved through developing realistic personas and their attributes as a way to capture information seekers’ context and formulate realistic search queries for algorithmic audits\, or other ways of auditing search systems and overcoming their “black box” nature. Regardless of the direction\, the proposed methodological approach or approaches must account for contextual diversity of social groups and the “wicked problems” they tackle. \n \nOn Day 1\, teams will will be asked to identify a “wicked problem” and produce 2-3 concise representations of people who may be searching for information related to it. They will consider the contextual properties relevant to understanding how these types of users will formulate their search queries and which platforms they will use to search for information. Multiple methods and data sources can be utilised for persona development\, including inference from open fora (Reddit\, StackExchange)\, consultation with external stakeholders invited to the event\, interviews of fellow group members\, and more. These methods will be used to formulate 15-60 queries reflective of the context of the social groups. For queries that are likely to be conducted via Google Search\, the members of the Australian Search Experience Project (subproject 2) will utilise their existing infrastructure to simulate such queries and collect the first page of search results for each query. \nOn Day 2\, teams can choose to: \n\nDevelop an approach to evaluate the search results collected from Google for the queries they produced.\nor\nDevelop a prototype or an approach to collect and evaluate search results from other platforms relevant to the personas they developed on day 1.\n\nThroughout the event\, teams will be supported by mentors and leaders from across the Centre with expertise in information retrieval\, computational social science\, and internet studies. Team members and team leads – no technical experience necessary. ADM+S members from any interdisciplinary background are welcome. \nOutputs \nThe process and results of the Hackathon will be documented in a methodological paper\, with all participants invited to join as co-authors. \nFor more information\, visit the registration page. Any questions can be directed to Manager\, Research Training and Development Sally Storey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Practical Machine Learning Explainability: Surrogate Explainers and Fairwashing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join this session delivered by ADM+S Affiliate Kacper Sokol and Associate Investigator Danula Hetticachchi as they introduce the three core components of surrogate explainers: data sampling\, interpretable representation and explanation generation in view of text\, image and tabular data.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Surrogate explainability is a popular transparency technique for assessing trustworthiness of predictions output by black-box machine learning models. While such explainers are often presented as monolithic\, end-to-end tools\, they in fact exhibit high modularity and scope for parameterisation. This observation suggests that each use case may require a bespoke surrogate built and tuned for the problem at hand. \nThis session introduces the three core components of surrogate explainers: data sampling\, interpretable representation and explanation generation in view of text\, image and tabular data. By understanding these building blocks individually\, as well as their interplay\, we can build robust and trustworthy explainers. However\, we can also misuse these insights to create technically-valid explainers that are intended to produce misleading justifications of individual predictions. For example\, by manipulating the size and distribution of the data sample (or the grouping criteria of the interpretable representation) an automated decision may be shown as fair despite the underlying model being inherently biased. This overview of theory is complemented by a low-code hands-on exercise facilitated through an iPython widget delivered via a Jupyter Notebook. \nDelivered by ADM+S Affiliate Kacper Sokol and ADM+S Associate Investigator Danula Hettiachchi \nADM+S Members Only – Registration and Zoom link via ADM+S Calendar invite[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Beyond XAI: Explainable Data-driven Modelling for Human Reasoning and Decision Support
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join this session delivered by ADM+S Affiliate Kacper Sokol and Associate Investigator Danula Hetticachchi as they explore how we can reimagine XAI by drawing upon a broad range of relevant interdisciplinary findings. ” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Insights from social sciences have transformed explainable artificial intelligence from a largely technical into a more human-centred discipline\, thus enabling diverse stakeholders\, rather than technical experts alone\, to benefit from its developments. The focus of explainability research itself\, nonetheless\, remained largely unchanged\, that is to help people understand the operation and output of predictive models. This\, however\, may not necessarily be the most consequential function of such systems; they can be adapted to complement\, augment and enhance the abilities of humans instead of (fully) automating their various roles in an explainable way. In this talk I will explore how we can reimagine XAI by drawing upon a broad range of relevant interdisciplinary findings. The resulting\, more comprehensive conceptualisation of the entire research field promises to be better aligned with humans by supporting their reasoning and decision-making in a data-driven way. As the talk will show\, medical applications\, as well as other high stakes domains\, stand to greatly benefit from such a shift in perspective. \nDelivered by ADM+S Affiliate Kacper Sokol and ADM+S Associate Investigator Danula Hettiachchi \nADM+S Members Only – Registration and Zoom link via ADM+S Calendar invite[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Financial Platforms: Infrastructures for Value Creation
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join us for this discussion led by Professor Janet Roitman\, from RMIT University in Melbourne\, who will examine Financial Platforms: Infrastructures for Value Creation.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Financial platforms are generally seen as the basic infrastructure of platform capitalism. They are therefore taken to be the basis for the exercise of ‘infrastructural power.’ The latter transpires through the incorporation of digital technologies and algorithmic operations into the heart of economic and financial practices. However\, different assumptions are made about the effects of digital platforms and infrastructures depending on geographical location. \nFor example\, financial platforms are approached as inherent to processes of financialization on a global scale and are generally seen as the basic infrastructure of platform capitalism. They are therefore taken to be the basis for exercise of ‘infrastructural power.’ The latter transpires through the incorporation of digital technologies and algorithmic operations into the heart of economic and financial practices. However\, different assumptions are made about the effects of digital platforms and infrastructures depending on geographical location. For example\, while financial platforms are approached as inherent to processes of financialization on a global scale\, they are reduced to processes of financial inclusion when referencing the ‘Global South.’ Analyses of financialization as a one-way-vector – Global North to Global South – overlook the variability\, the limits\, and responses to financialization.
