Despite the high consumption of dietary supplements (DS), there are not many reliable, relevant, and comprehensive online resources that could satisfy information seekers. The purpose of this research study is to understand consumers information needs on DS using topic modeling and to evaluate its accuracy in correctly identifying topics from social media. We retrieved 16,095 unique questions posted on Yahoo! Answers relating to 438 unique DS ingredients mentioned in sub-section, Alternative medicine under the section, Health. We implemented an unsupervised topic modeling method, Correlation Explanation (CorEx) to unveil the various topics consumers are most interested in. We manually reviewed the keywords of all the 200 topics generated by CorEx and assigned them to 38 health-related categories, corresponding to 12 higher-level groups. We found high accuracy (90-100%) in identifying questions that correctly align with the selected topics. The results could be used to guide us to generate a more comprehensive and structured DS resource based on consumers information needs.

News is a central source of information for individuals to inform themselves on current topics. Knowing a news articles slant and authenticity is of crucial importance in times of fake news, news bots, and centralization of media ownership. We introd
uce Newsalyze, a bias-aware news reader focusing on a subtle, yet powerful form of media bias, named bias by word choice and labeling (WCL). WCL bias can alter the assessment of entities reported in the news, e.g., freedom fighters vs. terrorists. At the core of the analysis is a neural model that uses a news-adapted BERT language model to determine target-dependent sentiment, a high-level effect of WCL bias. While the analysis currently focuses on only this form of bias, the visualizations already reveal patterns of bias when contrasting articles (overview) and in-text instances of bias (article view).
Traditional media outlets are known to report political news in a biased way, potentially affecting the political beliefs of the audience and even altering their voting behaviors. Many researchers focus on automatically detecting and identifying medi
a bias in the news, but only very few studies exist that systematically analyze how theses biases can be best visualized and communicated. We create three manually annotated datasets and test varying visualization strategies. The results show no strong effects of becoming aware of the bias of the treatment groups compared to the control group, although a visualization of hand-annotated bias communicated bias instances more effectively than a framing visualization. Showing participants an overview page, which opposes different viewpoints on the same topic, does not yield differences in respondents bias perception. Using a multilevel model, we find that perceived journalist bias is significantly related to perceived political extremeness and impartiality of the article.
Dietary supplements are widely used but not always safe. With the rapid development of the Internet, consumers usually seek health information including dietary supplement information online. To help consumers access quality online dietary supplement
information, we have identified trustworthy dietary supplement information sources and built an evidence-based knowledge base of dietary supplement information-the integrated DIetary Supplement Knowledge base (iDISK) that integrates and standardizes dietary supplement related information across these different sources. However, as information in iDISK was collected from scientific sources, the complex medical jargon is a barrier for consumers comprehension. To assess how different approaches to simplify and represent dietary supplement information from iDISK will affect lay consumers comprehension, using a crowdsourcing platform, we recruited participants to read dietary supplement information in four different representations from iDISK: original text, syntactic and lexical text simplification, manual text simplification, and a graph-based visualization. We then assessed how the different simplification and representation strategies affected consumers comprehension of dietary supplement information in terms of accuracy and response time to a set of comprehension questions. With responses from 690 qualified participants, our experiments confirmed that the manual approach had the best performance for both accuracy and response time to the comprehension questions, while the graph-based approach ranked the second outperforming other representations. In some cases, the graph-based representation outperformed the manual approach in terms of response time. A hybrid approach that combines text and graph-based representations might be needed to accommodate consumers different information needs and information seeking behavior.
In information-rich environments, the competition for users attention leads to a flood of content from which people often find hard to sort out the most relevant and useful pieces. Using Twitter as a case study, we applied an attention economy soluti
on to generate the most informative tweets for its users. By considering the novelty and popularity of tweets as objective measures of their relevance and utility, we used the Huberman-Wu algorithm to automatically select the ones that will receive the most attention in the next time interval. Their predicted popularity was confirmed by using Twitter data collected for a period of 2 months.
Dietary supplements (DS) have been widely used by consumers, but the information around the efficacy and safety of DS is disparate or incomplete, thus creating barriers for consumers to find information effectively. Conversational agent (CA) systems
have been applied to the healthcare domain, but there is no such a system to answer consumers regarding DS use, although widespread use of DS. In this study, we develop the first CA system for DS use
