Stance-Linked Provenance: How Voter Identity Disclosure Reshapes Voting and Suggestion Incorporation on Crowdsourcing Platforms
Digital knowledge production on collaborative platforms is governed by the interplay between crowd evaluation and feedback, especially in the generative AI era, when ideas and suggestions can be produced at far greater speed and scale. This study examines how evaluator identity disclosure shapes users’ evaluation and ideators’ incorporation of crowd feedback. Leveraging a design change on TVTropes that shifted voting from anonymous to attributable, we find that identity disclosure reduces both positive and negative evaluations, suggesting lower evaluative participation. We also find that the incorporation of detractor feedback is reduced with identity disclosure, indicating that ideators are less receptive to opposing input when feedback is tied to revealed evaluative stance. These findings reveal a governance trade-off: while identity disclosure enhances accountability and transparency, it simultaneously reduces participation and limits learning from dissent.

Cloud-native systems have become the backbone of modern software infrastructure, but their dynamic and heterogeneous nature introduces significant security challenges. Existing approaches remain limited by insufficient understanding of infrastructure software defects, weak robustness of attack detection under evolving system behaviors, and the lack of realistic data for modeling complex insider threats.
This dissertation bridges these gaps through a threat-driven perspective spanning infrastructure vulnerabilities, external attack detection, and insider threat analysis. It presents a large-scale empirical study of defects in cloud runtime systems, investigates the robustness of log-based attack detection under realistic system dynamics, and proposes an automated framework for generating high-fidelity insider threat data using LLM-driven multi-agent simulation. Extensive evaluations demonstrate the limitations of existing security techniques and highlight the importance of robustness, realism, and adaptabilit…

Chart-to-code generation converts a chart image into an executable plotting script, enabling faithful reproduction and editable visualizations. Existing methods are largely Python-centric, limiting practical use and overlooking a critical source of supervision: the same chart can be expressed by semantically equivalent scripts in different plotting languages. To fill this gap, we introduce Chart2NCode, a dataset of 176K charts paired with aligned scripts in Python, R, and LaTeX that render visually equivalent outputs, constructed via a metadata-to-template pipeline with rendering verification and human quality checks. Building on a LLaVA-style architecture, we further propose CharLuMA, a parameter-efficient adaptation module that augments the multimodal projector with a language-conditioned mixture of low-rank subspaces, allowing the model to share core chart understanding while specializing code generation to the target language through lightweight routing. Extensive experiments show consistent gains in exec…

In an environment saturated with information, products, and interfaces, users increasingly expect designs that are both simple and effective. Elegant Design: A Designer’s Guide to Harnessing Aesthetics examines how the tension between simplicity and complexity can be addressed by conceptualizing elegance as a form of ideal complexity: sufficiently rich to convey meaning, yet clear enough for immediate comprehension. Drawing on research at the intersection of cognitive science, information theory, and art, Luca Landoli demonstrates that aesthetic pleasure is not merely an optional enhancement, but a critical factor guiding decision-making in design, innovation, and product development. Utilizing over 100 visual examples and case studies, the book presents eight actionable strategies: four for enriching designs that lack engagement, and four for simplifying solutions that have become overly complex. This presentation is particularly relevant for scholars and students in information systems, human-computer inter…
