  The research paper "Cura: Curation at Social Media Scale" won the Best Paper Award at CSCW 2023. Explore human-AI collaboration at scale and alternative social media designs for effectively shaping community norms.Elaborate on the curation metaphor: only posts that match curators' tastes (largely upvoted) are published.Design a BERT-based curation system "Cura" to dynamically route posts to the main view or backstage.Design the corresponding interface for interactively defining curators and visualizing curation results.Demonstrate Cura effectively creates different spaces and reduces anti-social content through experiments.
