DESCRIPTION:Thursday May 18\, 2017\n\nLikes-R-Us: Understanding and Protect
 ing Likes in Social Media \n\nThe recent dramatic increase in the usage an
 d prevalence of social media has led to the creation and sharing of a sign
 ificant amount of information in various formats. When it comes to informa
 tion consumption\, people are not only accessing and appreciating publishe
 d and shared contents\, but also interacting with them by adding comments 
 or pressing a Like button (or expressing other relationships similar to Li
 ke in nature such as “+1” in Google+\, “re-pin” in Pinterest\, and “favori
 te” in Flickr). As one of popular activities in social media\, in particul
 ar\, pressing a Like button toward published contents can be interpreted a
 s an indication of one's shared interests to the contents or the original 
 posters. Therefore\, such Like activities form relationships and networks 
 among people\, raising interesting questions about their unique characteri
 stics and implications. In this talk\, I will present some of recent findi
 ngs from the 'Likes-R-Us' project (https://goo.gl/vsLt2h) at Penn State\, 
 identifying novel relationships from Like activities\, understanding diffe
 rent age groups better through the lens of Likes\, and uncovering fake Lik
 es to maintain healthy eco systems.\n\n**Please arrive early\, seating is 
 limited**\n
