Research Infrastructure for ADM and digital platforms Workshop
Event Details: Public workshop @ 2024 Automated Decision Making and Society Symposium
When: 14:00 - 16:00 on Tuesday, 15th October 2024
Venue: UNSW Sydney
Open workshop for researchers interested in new tools and methods for studying ADM and digital platforms
This workshop is designed to introduce and showcase a range of tools, infrastructure, data sources and methodologies for research on automated decision-making and digital platforms from across ADM+S projects. Participants will learn about and explore major new infrastructure such as the Australian Internet Observatory’s (AIO) data donation tools, as well as Large Language Models (LLMs), national survey instruments and datasets, and various small scale open source software and research methodologies.
Research infrastructure is defined as “assets, facilities, services, and associated expertise” to support research and innovation. This includes resources and assets such as data, databases and collections, data management platforms, software, hardware, compute and storage, equipment and tools, buildings and facilities, creative methods, surveys, protocols and standards, trust and identify frameworks, and a skilled workforce supporting all of these resources and services.
The workshop will feature lightning talks from ADM+S Signature projects on key research infrastructure tools, data and methods to support sharing and networking of resources and skills across the centre and beyond. Collaboration and infrastructure sharing will be central to the event, creating a space where attendees can exchange research methods and ideas.
The focus will be on the tools and methods available through the Australian Internet Observatory (AIO), a new national research facility led by ADM+S researchers with support from the Australian Research Data Commons, part of the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons.
Confirmed Presenters: Prof Dan Angus, Dr Amanda Lawrence, Dr Aaron Snoswell, and Dr Abdul Obeid [L-R]
