Current benchmarks for argument summarization overlook the nuance and messiness of online arguments. Omkar Gurjar’s #EMNLP2025 paper ft. @agam-goyal.bsky.social @ceshwar.bsky.social introduces a new benchmark built from naturally-occurring Reddit debates. 📝 go.illinois.edu/emnlp3

Journalism shares information, but not always without cost. New paper presented at CSCW by @yian3.bsky.social, Mukhilshankar Umashankar, @ceshwar.bsky.social & Hari Sundaram studies antisocial behavior online shapes what journalists say and what they hold back. 📝https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.15061

ICYMI: Moderation isn’t just rules; it’s how communities learn to stay fair. @vinaykoshy.bsky.social presented Venire @CSCW. It learns Reddit mod decisions to flag borderline cases for group review. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... ft. @fred-choi.com, YS, Hari, @ceshwar.bsky.social, @kkarahal.bsky.social

Just arrived in Bergen for CSCW, where I'll present Venire! Venire is a Reddit moderation tool that uses an ML model trained on mod decision histories to identify controversial cases. It preempts inconsistent decision-making by flagging these cases for multi-mod review dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Receiving positive feedback on Reddit leads to slightly more frequent & much higher-quality contributions (for some days). Sustained positive feedback can complement content moderation. (Cool to see obs studies at @chi.acm.org!) dl.acm.org/doi/full/10.... @kous2v.bsky.social @ceshwar.bsky.social
