SUMMARY:Understanding and Modeling Collective User (Mis-)Behavior Driving
 Information Spread Online
DESCRIPTION:The literature is quite rich in efforts to model and analyze
 how different aspects of user behavior may drive the dissemination of a
 piece of content online\, favoring its spread at large. Yet\, human
 behavior is often very heterogeneous\, highly dynamic\, and may manifest
 itself in multiple facets and scales\, with components that are
 conceptually hard to operationalize. As such\, inferring behavioral
 patterns and profiles from digital traces can be quite challenging. In this
 talk\, I will discuss our efforts towards inferring\, modeling and
 analyzing collective user behavior (notably user campaigns)  towards
 favoring information dissemination online. I will show results applied to
 the study of spread of fake news\, illegal political ads\, and hate speech.
 Finally\, as a short detour\, I will discuss recent results on the use of
 similar techniques to a completely different context\, namely
 scientometrics\, to analyze the emergence of anomalous hyperprolific
 researchers.\n\n\n\nShort Bio\n\nJussara M Almeida is a Full Professor at
