- name: Mauricio Salgado
image: /assets/images/salgado2024.png
bio: Mauricio Salgado is a researcher at the Centro de Estudios Públicos (Chile). His work focuses on three areas: the social antecedents of individual behavior, the modeling of social dynamics through computational methods, and contemporary social theory, particularly analytical sociology. He holds a Ph.D. in Computational Sociology from the University of Surrey (UK) and completed postdoctoral research at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain).
Mauricio has led and contributed to various research projects and published around thirty articles in journals such as Social Science Research, Sociological Forum, Theoretical Biology, and Journal of Artificial Societies, Social Simulation, Advances in Complex Systems, and School Effectiveness and School Improvement. He has also taught undergraduate and graduate courses on statistical methods, economic sociology, computational social sciences, and contemporary social theory.

image: /assets/images/Mendoza2024.png
bio: Marcelo Mendoza received his master's degree in informatics from the Federico Santa María Technical University, Chile, and his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Chile. He held a postdoctoral position at Yahoo Research. He is currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He is a founder and former President of the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition. He is currently principal researcher at the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Associate Researcher at the Millennium Institute for Foundational Research on Data. His research has addressed the relationship between the stance of Twitter users and the veracity of their messages, the design and implementation of automated predictive model for fake news, the possibilities and limitations of sentiment analysis models on social networks, the relationships between opinion dynamics and political election outcomes, analysis of television media bias using NLP, the predictive power of reactions from Twitter users to infer earthquake damage levels, the use of the transformer architecture's self-attention mechanisms for stance classification, the develop of bot detection methods based on network features, and the predictive capacities of graph neural networks to anticipate controversy in social media conversation threads.

- name: César Hidalgo
