Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The epidemic of COVID-19, which started at the end of 2019 and eventually reached a pandemic in 2020, changed society irreversibly. For instance, global awareness of infection prevention, nation-wide lockdown with the stay-home policy, communication remotely avoiding direct contact, and social distancing-based lifestyle. Social computing research aims to handle social data obtained from human activities for the contribution to society. Given the pandemic, social data have also changed. Notably, for example, fake news and hate speech have been actualized, possibly because of the rise of social media use according to the increase of stay-home time. Now we need to discuss the direction of social computing research in conjunction with the post-pandemic society.

This workshop aims at sharing our research activities during the pandemic with several leading research teams that internationally contribute to social computing and related domains. Through this workshop, we expect to gain international connections among young researchers, to organize the difficulties in the pandemic from global points of view, which we can add pan-global applicability to our research questions, and to extend the discussions towards international co-research smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
