REST: Debiased Social Recommendation via Reconstructing Exposure Strategies

The recommendation system, relying on historical observational data to model the complex relationships among users and items, has achieved great success in real-world applications. Selection bias is one of the most important issues of the existing observational data-based approaches, which is actually caused by multiple types of unobserved exposure strategies (e.g., promotions and holiday effects). Though various methods have been proposed to address this problem, they are mainly relying on the implicit debiasing techniques but not explicitly modeling the unobserved exposure strategies. By explicitly Reconstructing Exposure STrategies (REST), we formalize the recommendation problem as the counterfactual reasoning and propose the debiased social recommendation method. In REST, we assume that the exposure of an item is controlled by the latent exposure strategies, the user, and the item. Based on the above generation process, we first provide the theoretical guarantee of our method via identification analysis. Second, we employ a variational auto-encoder to reconstruct the latent exposure strategies, with the help of the social networks and the items. Third, we devise a counterfactual reasoning based recommendation algorithm by leveraging the recovered exposure strategies. Experiments on four real-world datasets, including three published datasets and one private WeChat Official Account dataset, demonstrate significant improvements over several state-of-the-art methods.

Mobile social media as a vehicle of health communication: a multimodal discourse analysis of WeChat official account posts during the COVID-19 crisis

The utilization of mobile communication can significantly enhance the availability and accessibility of public health information. To this end, various mobile social media platforms are recognized as multimodal discourses that can serve as powerful instruments in disseminating health-related information to a wider audience, thereby allowing for greater reach and improved health outcomes. This study retrospectively examined Malaysia’s third wave of COVID-19 to decipher the visual representation of this epidemiological crisis on mobile social media. A qualitative research approach was utilized, underpinned by the visual framing concept of Coleman (2010) and the visual actor-network of van Leeuwen (2008), to analyze 280 images from a popular and Chinese WeChat official account called Weimalaysia. The analysis revealed that visuals on this WeChat official account highlight specific contents and features of COVID-19 in Malaysia during the third wave. However, no visual misinformation regarding intolerance elements was identified. The initial findings of this study demonstrate the importance of visuals as a crucial resource in public health communication. Additionally, the results underscore the significance of WeChat official accounts as a novel mobile social media platform for conveying health-related information during the public health crisis.

Along with that, a two-long paragraph caption also completes the picture-based pieces of information that consist of registration pieces of information and details of the pictures. Finally, we also conclude that hashtags and geotagging features play an essential part in helping audiences locate the event.

THE CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION OF BARBIE IN AMERICAN DISCOURSES: NORMAN FAIRCLOUGH’S CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

The cultural construction of Barbie in American Discourses explains how Barbie as an American popular product is seen, talked about, and understood by the public. Barbie, a fashion doll that has successfully developed into an American icon, has been a subject of discussion since its first publication in 1959. The fact that it supposedly played the role of a simple children’s toy yet can capture the adults’ interests shows that there is something particular in Barbie that might also be deemed relevant by the adults. Thus, this study aims to break down the structure of Barbie as an American popular product in American discourses using Norman Fairclough’s theory of Critical Discourse Analysis. Using Barbie itself as the data taken from Barbie’s official Instagram account, this study applies qualitative methods. The result shows that in American discourses, Barbie is seen as the face of the American Dream and a reflection of Idealized American women. Through the depiction of Barbie’s appearance, the narration of Barbie’s abundant leisure activities, the description of Barbie’s lavish possessions, and their socialite peers, Barbie has symbolically served as an icon in the American Dream. Additionally, Barbie’s position in reflecting the image of American women is seen as the idealized epitome of beauty and success. However, she is also perceived as an icon who brings mixed messages. Even though she aims to promote female empowerment, her representation is also presumed to be problematic and unrealistic.

Grotesque and transformative practices: a new understanding of transformational festival experience

ABSTRACT Unconventional expression styles in transformational festivals closely link to personal transformation. However, existing research has mainly focused on exploring the environmental factors that stimulate unconventional self-expression, neglecting the process through which individuals achieve personal transformation via such expressions. This study addresses this theoretical gap by investigating how individuals achieve personal transformation through unconventional self-expression, using Burning Man as a case study. Specifically, the study utilises visual materials from Burning Man's official Instagram account and applies Bakhtin's analysis of grotesque imagery to probe the link between unconventional self-expression and personal transformation. The findings indicate that personal transformation occurs through continuous transformative practices within unconventional self-expression, encompassing both external and internal transformation. Furthermore, personal transformation thrives on collective participation, enabling individuals to cultivate their unique transformation style within the collective landscape of transformative practices. The study contributes to a new theoretical understanding of transformational festivals by exploring the pathways to personal transformation through unconventional self-expression. It also presents an innovative application of Bakhtin's theory of grotesque in this context, adding to the existing body of knowledge. Additionally, practical recommendations for festival organizers are made to enhance participants' festival experiences and foster their personal transformation.
