Specifically, we focus on recognizing when someone is pursuing power within a web forum. Individuals pursue power in order to increase their control over the actions and goals of the group. We cast the problem as social conversation...

Arguably, one of the most interesting lines of work is that of predicting future events and developments based on social media data, as we have recently...

In my thesis I propose to investigate whether social power relations are manifested in the language and structure of social interactions, and if so, in what ways, and whether we can use the insights gained from this study to build computational systems that can automatically identify these power relations by analyzing social interactions.

We might consider this kind of approach and this use of the logic as basically anti-men...
