LLMs thus frequently generate factually inaccurate responses, especially in complex reasoning tasks, highlighting two prominent challenges: (1) the inadequacy of existing methods to evaluate reasoning and factual accuracy effectively, and (2) the reliance on human evaluators for nuanced judgment, as illustrated by Williams and Huckle (2024)[1], who found manual grading indispensable despite automated grading advancements. To address evaluation gaps in open-ended reasoning tasks, we introduce the EQUATOR Evaluator (Evaluation of Question Answering Thoroughness in Open-ended Reasoning). This framework combines deterministic scoring with a focus on factual accuracy and robust reasoning assessment. Using a vector database, EQUATOR pairs open-ended questions with human-evaluated answers, enabling more precise and scalable evaluations. In practice, EQUATOR significantly reduces reliance on human evaluators for scoring and improves scalability compared to Williams and Huckle's (2004)[1] methods. Our results demonstrate that this framework significantly outperforms traditional multiple-choice evaluations while maintaining high accuracy standards. Additionally, we introduce an automated evaluation process leveraging smaller, locally hosted LLMs. We used LLaMA 3.2B, running on the Ollama binaries to streamline our assessments. This work establishes a new paradigm for evaluating LLM performance, emphasizing factual accuracy and reasoning ability, and provides a robust methodological foundation for future research. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2501.00257v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2501.00257v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 30 December, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2025. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">MSC Class:</span> 68T20 <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">ACM Class:</span> I.2.7; I.2.6; H.3.3 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.07019">arXiv:2412.07019</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.07019">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2412.07019">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computation and Language">cs.CL</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Assessing the Impact of Conspiracy Theories Using Large Language Models </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jiang%2C+B">Bohan Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Li%2C+D">Dawei Li</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tan%2C+Z">Zhen Tan</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhou%2C+X">Xinyi Zhou</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Rao%2C+A">Ashwin Rao</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Lerman%2C+K">Kristina Lerman</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

However, assessing the actual impact of CTs on the public poses unique challenges. It requires not only the collection of CT-specific knowledge but also diverse information from social, psychological, and cultural dimensions. Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) suggest their potential utility in this context, not only due to their extensive knowledge from large training corpora but also because they can be harnessed for complex reasoning. In this work, we develop datasets of popular CTs with human-annotated impacts. Borrowing insights from human impact assessment processes, we then design tailored strategies to leverage LLMs for performing human-like CT impact assessments. Through rigorous experiments, we textit{discover that an impact assessment mode using multi-step reasoning to analyze more CT-related evidence critically produces accurate results; and most LLMs demonstrate strong bias, such as assigning higher impacts to CTs presented earlier in the prompt, while generating less accurate impact assessments for emotionally charged and verbose CTs. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2412.07019v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2412.07019v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 December, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17451">arXiv:2407.17451</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17451">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.17451">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Information Retrieval">cs.IR</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> BlueTempNet: A Temporal Multi-network Dataset of Social Interactions in Bluesky Social </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jeong%2C+U">Ujun Jeong</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jiang%2C+B">Bohan Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tan%2C+Z">Zhen Tan</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

Embracing Bluesky's principles of open-source and open-data, we present the first collection of the temporal dynamics of user-driven social interactions. BlueTempNet integrates multiple types of networks into a single multi-network, including user-to-user interactions (following and blocking users) and user-to-community interactions (creating and joining communities). Communities are user-formed groups in custom Feeds, where users subscribe to posts aligned with their interests. Following Bluesky's public data policy, we collect existing Bluesky Feeds, including the users who liked and generated these Feeds, and provide tools to gather users' social interactions within a date range. This data-collection strategy captures past user behaviors and supports the future data collection of user behavior. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.17451v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.17451v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 2 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 24 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">accepted to IEEE Data Descriptions 24</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.12613">arXiv:2309.12613</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.12613">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2309.12613">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> User Migration across Multiple Social Media Platforms </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jeong%2C+U">Ujun Jeong</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Nirmal%2C+A">Ayushi Nirmal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jha%2C+K">Kritshekhar Jha</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tang%2C+S+X">Susan Xu Tang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

Based on the data from over 14,000 users who migrated to these platforms within the first eight weeks after the launch of Threads, our study examines: (1) distinguishing attributes of Twitter users who migrated, compared to non-migrants; (2) temporal migration patterns and associated challenges for sustainable migration faced by each platform; and (3) how these new platforms are perceived in relation to Twitter. Our research proceeds in three stages. First, we examine migration from a broad perspective, not just one-to-one migration. Second, we leverage behavioral analysis to pinpoint the distinct migration pattern of each platform. Last, we employ a Large Language Model (LLM) to discern stances towards each platform and correlate them with the platform usage. This in-depth analysis illuminates migration patterns amid competition across social media platforms. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2309.12613v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2309.12613v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 10 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 22 September, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted to SDM 24</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.10121">arXiv:2308.10121</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.10121">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2308.10121">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Multimedia">cs.MM</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Graphics">cs.GR</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Robotics">cs.RO</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Dronevision: An Experimental 3D Testbed for Flying Light Specks </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Alimohammadzadeh%2C+H">Hamed Alimohammadzadeh</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+R">Rohit Bernard</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Chen%2C+Y">Yang Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Phan%2C+T">Trung Phan</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Singh%2C+P">Prashant Singh</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhu%2C+S">Shuqin Zhu</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Culbertson%2C+H">Heather Culbertson</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Ghandeharizadeh%2C+S">Shahram Ghandeharizadeh</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2308.10121v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Today's robotic laboratories for drones are housed in a large room.

At times, they are the size of a warehouse. These spaces are typically equipped with permanent devices to localize the drones, e.g., Vicon Infrared cameras. Significant time is invested to fine-tune the localization apparatus to compute and control the position of the drones. One may use these laboratories to develop a 3D multimedia system with miniature sized drones configured with light sources. As an alternative, this brave new idea paper envisions shrinking these room-sized laboratories to the size of a cube or cuboid that sits on a desk and costs less than 10K dollars. The resulting Dronevision (DV) will be the size of a 1990s Television. In addition to light sources, its Flying Light Specks (FLSs) will be network-enabled drones with storage and processing capability to implement decentralized algorithms. The DV will include a localization technique to expedite development of 3D displays. It will act as a haptic interface for a user to interact with and manipulate the 3D virtual illuminations. It will empower an experimenter to design, implement, test, debug, and maintain software and hardware that realize novel algorithms in the comfort of their office without having to reserve a laboratory. In addition to enhancing productivity, it will improve safety of the experimenter by minimizing the likelihood of accidents. This paper introduces the concept of a DV, the research agenda one may pursue using this device, and our plans to realize one. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2308.10121v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2308.10121v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 August, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.19552">arXiv:2305.19552</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.19552">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2305.19552">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Investigating Gender Euphoria and Dysphoria on TikTok: Characterization and Comparison </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Dillon%2C+S">SJ Dillon</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Liang%2C+Y">Yueqing Liang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

Among the short video platforms, TikTok is one of the most popular globally and has become the platform of choice for transgender and nonbinary individuals, who have formed a large community to mobilize personal experience and exchange information. The knowledge produced in online spaces can influence the ways in which people understand and experience their own gender and transitions, as they hear about others and weigh that experiential and medical knowledge against their own. This paper extends current research and past interview methods on gender euphoria and gender dysphoria to analyze what and how online communities on TikTok discuss these two types of gender experiences. Our findings indicate that gender euphoria and gender dysphoria are differently described in online TikTok spaces. These findings indicate that there are wide similarities in the words used to describe gender dysphoria as well as gender euphoria in both the comments of videos and content creators' hashtags. Finally, our results show that gender euphoria is described in more similar terms between transfeminine and transmasculine experiences than gender dysphoria, which appears to be more differentiated by gendering experience and transition goals. We hope this paper can provide insights for future research on understanding transgender and nonbinary individuals in online communities. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2305.19552v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2305.19552v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 31 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.09196">arXiv:2305.09196</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.09196">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2305.09196">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Exploring Platform Migration Patterns between Twitter and Mastodon: A User Behavior Study </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Jeong%2C+U">Ujun Jeong</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Sheth%2C+P">Paras Sheth</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tahir%2C+A">Anique Tahir</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Alatawi%2C+F">Faisal Alatawi</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

In this study, we elaborate on how we investigate these questions by collecting data over 10,000 users who migrated from Twitter to Mastodon within the first ten weeks following the ownership change of Twitter. Our research is structured in three primary steps. First, we develop algorithms to extract and analyze migration patterns. Second, by leveraging behavioral analysis, we examine the distinct architectures of Twitter and Mastodon to learn how user behaviors correspond with the characteristics of each platform. Last, we determine how particular behavioral factors influence users to stay on Mastodon. We share our findings of user migration, insights, and lessons learned from the user behavior study. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2305.09196v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2305.09196v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 April, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 16 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted to ICWSM 24 (Please cite it accordingly)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.03068">arXiv:2205.03068</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.03068">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2205.03068">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computation and Language">cs.CL</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ipm.2022.102959">10.1016/j.ipm.2022.102959 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Characterizing Multi-Domain False News and Underlying User Effects on Chinese Weibo </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Sheng%2C+Q">Qiang Sheng</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Cao%2C+J">Juan Cao</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

While there are studies of false news on specific domains (like politics or health care), little work is found comparing false news across domains. In this article, we investigate false news across nine domains on Weibo, the largest Twitter-like social media platform in China, from 2009 to 2019. The newly collected data comprise 44,728 posts in the nine domains, published by 40,215 users, and reposted over 3.4 million times. Based on the distributions and spreads of the multi-domain dataset, we observe that false news in domains that are close to daily life like health and medicine generated more posts but diffused less effectively than those in other domains like politics, and that political false news had the most effective capacity for diffusion. The widely diffused false news posts on Weibo were associated strongly with certain types of users -- by gender, age, etc. Further, these posts provoked strong emotions in the reposts and diffused further with the active engagement of false-news starters. Our findings have the potential to help design false news detection systems in suspicious news discovery, veracity prediction, and display and explanation. The comparison of the findings on Weibo with those of existing work demonstrates nuanced patterns, suggesting the need for more research on data from diverse platforms, countries, or languages to tackle the global issue of false news.

Now, more than ever, people express themselves online while mainstream news agencies attempt to seize the power of the Internet to spread their agenda. To grasp the political coexistence of mainstream media and online social media, in this paper, we perform an analysis between these two sources of information in the context of the U.S. 2020 presidential election. In particular, we collect data during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries pertaining to the candidates and by analyzing this data, we highlight similarities and differences between these two main types of sources, detect the potential impact they have on each other, and understand how this impact relationship can change over time. To supplement these two main sources and to establish a baseline, we also include Google Trends search results and Polling results for each of the candidates that are being analyzed. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2009.09307v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2009.09307v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 September, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2020. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10233">arXiv:1804.10233</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.10233">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1804.10233">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Studying Fake News via Network Analysis: Detection and Mitigation </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Shu%2C+K">Kai Shu</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+H+R">H.

However, social media also enable the wide propagation of "fake news", i.e., news with intentionally false information. Fake news on social media poses significant negative societal effects, and also presents unique challenges. To tackle the challenges, many existing works exploit various features, from a network perspective, to detect and mitigate fake news. In essence, news dissemination ecosystem involves three dimensions on social media, i.e., a content dimension, a social dimension, and a temporal dimension. In this chapter, we will review network properties for studying fake news, introduce popular network types and how these networks can be used to detect and mitigation fake news on social media. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1804.10233v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1804.10233v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 April, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2018. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Submitted as a invited book chapter in Lecture Notes in Social Networks, Springer Press</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">ACM Class:</span> H.2.8 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.09713">arXiv:1711.09713</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.09713">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1711.09713">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Software Engineering">cs.SE</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing">cs.DC</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Boutiques: a flexible framework for automated application integration in computing platforms </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Glatard%2C+T">Tristan Glatard</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Kiar%2C+G">Gregory Kiar</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Aumentado-Armstrong%2C+T">Tristan Aumentado-Armstrong</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Beck%2C+N">Natacha Beck</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bellec%2C+P">Pierre Bellec</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bernard%2C+R">R茅mi Bernard</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bonnet%2C+A">Axel Bonnet</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Camarasu-Pop%2C+S">Sorina Camarasu-Pop</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Cervenansky%2C+F">Fr茅d茅ric Cervenansky</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Das%2C+S">Samir Das</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=da+Silva%2C+R+F">Rafael Ferreira da Silva</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Flandin%2C+G">Guillaume Flandin</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Girard%2C+P">Pascal Girard</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Gorgolewski%2C+K+J">Krzysztof J.

Boutiques applications are installed through software containers described in a rich and flexible JSON language. A set of core tools facilitate the construction, validation, import, execution, and publishing of applications. Boutiques is currently supported by several distinct virtual research platforms, and it has been used to describe dozens of applications in the neuroinformatics domain. We expect Boutiques to improve the quality of application integration in computational platforms, to reduce redundancy of effort, to contribute to computational reproducibility, and to foster Open Science. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1711.09713v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none';
