Research summary

Kai-Cheng Yang studies how information spreads online, with a focus on misinformation, social media platforms, and political communication. Their work includes building and analyzing datasets from platforms like Twitter, developing methods to extract meaning from text, and examining topics such as election polls and voter-fraud beliefs. Note that the publication list appears to mix in unrelated technical papers (e.g., wind turbines, medical imaging), so the core social-science contributions center on computational analysis of online information.
