Women’s Disadvantage: Because of Who They Are, or What They Do?
As women speak up against injustice, it is becoming clearer that the roots of their disadvantage might be deeper than categorical discrimination against them: it is not who they are, but what they do.

Measuring Without Labels: A Different Approach to Information Extraction
Information extraction is a major problem in the fields of natural language processing and web mining, in particular when it comes to evaluating domains where language cannot be taken at face value. In the study recently published on the journal applied network science, Mayank Kejriwal and Rahul Kapoor present a method that can potentially be used to assess the quality of information extraction systems in the analysis such domains, using the case of human trafficking. This article was published as part of the ongoing collection on modeling, analyzing and mining feature-rich networks.

What ‘Twitch Plays Pokémon’ Tells Us About Crowd Behavior
No one would deny that the behavior of the people we know, and even of our own, can radically change depending on those who surround us. In epj data science, Alberto Aleta and Yamir Moreno peered into the world of online gaming looking to find clues to the dynamics of online crowds and what behaviors influence their outcomes.

Calling for a Change in STEM Culture To Retain Underrepresented Students
If we want to change STEM representation for the better, we must address what can be changed within a system (e.g. professor attitudes and teaching styles) instead of placing the burden for change on underrepresented students conforming to a culture that was not necessarily designed with them in mind.
