Online social media platforms use automated moderation systems to remove or reduce the visibility of rule-breaking content. While previous work has documented the importance of manual content moderation, the effects of automated content moderation remain largely unknown, in part due to the technical...

Recent success of deep learning can be largely attributed to the huge amount of data used for training deep neural networks. However, the sheer amount of data significantly increase the burden on storage and transmission. It would also consume considerable time and computational resources to train...

The popularity of deep learning has led to the curation of a vast number of massive and multifarious datasets. Despite having close-to-human performance on individual tasks, training parameter-hungry models on large datasets poses multi-faceted problems such as (a) high model-training time; (b) slow...
