Content is now\n co-produced, shared, classified, and rated on the Web by millions of \npeople, while attention has become the ephemeral and valuable resource \nthat everyone seeks to acquire.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis talk will describe how social attention determines the \nproduction and consumption of content within social media, how it can be\n used to predict future trends, and how it helps determine the public \nagenda.\u003C\/p\u003E\n        \n        \n\n\n    \n            \n                      \n              \u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\n                    \u003Cp\u003EBernardo A. Huberman is a Senior HP Fellow and \ndirector of the Social Computing Laboratory at HP Labs.\u0026nbsp; His current \nresearch is focused on the interaction between social behavior and \ninformation technology, with an emphasis on the phenomenon of \ncrowdsourcing and social attention.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\nFor a number of years Huberman\u0027s research has focused on the World Wide \nWeb, the dynamics of its growth and use. This work helped uncover the \nnature of electronic markets, the detailed structure of the web and the \nlaws governing the way people surf for information. One of the \noriginators of the field of ecology of computation, Huberman published \nhis book, \u0022The Laws of the Web: Patterns in the Ecology of Information, \u0022\n with MIT Press.\u0026nbsp;Previously, Huberman worked in theoretical physics and \nhe is one of the discoverers of phenomenon of chaos in a number of \nphysical systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the field of information sciences, Huberman predicted the \nexistence of phase transitions in artificial intelligence and \nlarge-scale distributed systems, and developed an economics approach to \nthe problem of resource allocation in hard computational problems.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHuberman is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the \nAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), former \ntrustee of the Aspen Center for Physics and Fellow of the Japan Society \nfor the Promotion of Science, as well as a faculty member in Symbolic \nSystems Program at Stanford University.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\nHuberman received his PhD in Physics from the University of \nPennsylvania, and is currently a Consulting Professor in the Department \nof Applied Physics at Stanford University. He has been a visiting \nprofessor at The University of Paris, The Niels Bohr Institute of the \nUniversity of Copenhagen in Denmark and at INSEAD, the European School \nof Business in France. He was also a Research Fellow at Xerox PARC. He \nholds more than 25 patents and is the author of several hundred \nscientific papers.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESocial Media and Attention\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Social Media and Attention"}],"uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2010-08-26 12:11:12","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:52:11","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-09-09T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-09-09T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-09-09T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-09-09 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-09-09 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-09-09 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"8494","name":"HCI"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
