Breaking Social Media Bubbles for Information Globalization: A Cross-Cultural and Cross-Language User-Centered Sense-Making Approach

Abstract: With the globalization of data, online social media plays an active role in spreading information and classifying people, and thinking about how to break the solidification of algorithms becomes critical. Current algorithmic research in the social media space often focuses on a single service or language, mainly due to the lack of a way to connect the different bubbles. The panel speakers described their various research activities in which they presented different perspectives on how to break the bubble. This article provides a summary of this interactive panel.

Keywords: social media, big data, cross culture, cross language, information globalization
