All accepted papers will be published with the conference proceedings of SocInfo which are published through springer. We also have the participation of many industry folks, and I think it could be exciting to discuss with them your research, or even use it as an opportunity to spark collaborations with them. Invited speakers include Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil (Max Planck Institute SWS), Bruno Gonçalves (Aix-Marseille Université), and Carlos Diuk-Wasser (Facebook, Inc.)</div>

<span style="line-height:normal;text-align:start">A great deal of work has used computational methods to investigate the intensity, structure, topic and sentiment of social interactions. But neither information alone nor structure in isolation can be considered fully responsible for the complexity of social life, whether on- or offline. Online interactions can be conceptualized as a social exchange, and also as a process through which meaning emerges through dialogue between the two partners, i.e. a dyad. We aim for the DYAD workshop to examine online interactions from a number of rich perspectives.</span><br style="line-height:normal;text-align:start">
