Excited to attend FAccT 2026 in Montreal this week! Let me know if you'll be there and want to catch up :) I'll be presenting a paper with @allisonkoe.bsky.social about ad delivery skew in the context of government advertising, come by and check it out!

Are you a Bluesky user or developer? Princeton's HCI group is conducting an IRB-approved interview study on perspectives about generative AI (genAI) in decentralized social media. Participation includes: • 45–60 min Zoom interview • $30 USD digital gift card Signup: forms.gle/EDmcLnjbamtb...
Good work from @hayoungjung.bsky.social and @manoelhortaribeiro.bsky.social Scientific AI agents are actively being deployed to synthesize clinical conclusions, but their factual accuracy remains remarkably low. #MedSky 🔗 Direct link: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.11337

First paper of my PhD with my amazing advisors! There’s been a ton of hype and media coverage on OpenEvidence as an “AI co-pilot for clinicians”… and our long-horizon benchmark puts them to the test!! Our results suggest they are far from reliable for downstream use.

New preprint! We introduce a new benchmark, SciConBench, with 9.11k scientific questions derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. We find evidence that frontier AI agents **cannot** synthesize scientific conclusions well. A thread 🧵 w/ @hayoungjung.bsky.social & others!

🛍️Major AI companies are increasingly embedding sponsored content into chatbot conversations. Across two preregistered experiments (N=2,012), we test how effectively AI can steer consumers toward sponsored products in a realistic shopping scenario. 📝https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04263
Deepfake pornography isn’t going away just because we are passing laws and taking down a couple of big websites. Our new pre-print, led by @aedcv.bsky.social suggests that the sharing of this material continued to prosper even after platform and policy shocks. arxiv.org/abs/2602.02754
Whoa, excellent study just dropped in Science! "Reranking partisan animosity in algorithmic social media feeds alters affective polarization" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Led by @tiziano.bsky.social and @msaveski.bsky.social
Reranking partisan animosity in algorithmic social media feeds alters affective polarization
Today, social media platforms hold the sole power to study the effects of feed-ranking algorithms. We developed a platform-independent method that reranks participants’ feeds in real time and used thi...

I am at #EMNLP2025🇨🇳 to present our main paper *MythTriage: Scalable Detection of Opioid Use Disorder Myths on a Video-Sharing Platform*! Come by to discuss details! 🏦 Location: Hall C ⏲️Time: 11AM-12:30PM 🔗 Paper: aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-m... 📁 Repo: github.com/hayoungjungg...
🌱✨ Life update: I just started my PhD at Princeton University! I will be supervised by @manoelhortaribeiro.bsky.social and affiliated with Princeton CITP. It's only been a month, but the energy feels amazing —very grateful for such a welcoming community. Excited for what’s ahead! 🚀
Social media feeds today are optimized for engagement, often leading to misalignment between users' intentions and technology use. In a new paper, we introduce Bonsai, a tool to create feeds based on stated preferences, rather than predicted engagement. arxiv.org/abs/2509.10776
🚨YouTube is a key source of health info, but it’s also rife with dangerous myths on opioid use disorder (OUD), a leading cause of death in the U.S. To understand the scale of such misinformation, our #EMNLP2025 paper introduces MythTriage, a scalable system to detect OUD myth🧵

On my way to Copenhagen, where I will give an invited talk at a workshop and present this work at ICWSM! Super excited to meet everyone -- please DM me if you would like to chat!
How does YouTube’s search algorithm handle COVID🦠 misinfo in the United States🇺🇸(US) and South Africa🇿🇦(SA)? In our #icwsm '25 paper w/ @prerna6.bsky.social @tanumitra.bsky.social, we found bots in SA received significantly more misinfo in top-10 search results, which accounts for 95% of user traffic
