SUMMARY:Social Media Seminar Series with Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media
DESCRIPTION:
 Lada Adamic gives a Seminar titled "I rate 
 you. You rate me. Should we do so publicly?\n
 \n
  
   She is an expert in social network analysis, 
 and has developed new techniques for network 
 analysis and applied them to many topics 
 including knowledge sharing networks, Q&A 
 sites, questions about information diffusion, 
 motivations and incentives for participation, 
 and political blogs.\n
 \n
 Lada A. Adamic 
 is an associate professor in the School of Information 
 at the University of Michigan. She 
 is also affiliated with the Center for the Study 
 of Complex Systems and EECS. Her research 
 interests center on information dynamics in 
 networks: how information diffuses, how it can 
 be found, and how it influences the evolution 
 of a network's structure. She worked previously 
 in Hewlett-Packard's Information Dynamics 
 Lab. Her projects have included identifying 
 expertise in online question and answer forums, 
 studying the dynamics of viral marketing, 
 and characterizing the structure in blogs and 
 other online communities.\n
