Word Embeddings Quantify 100 Years of Gender and Ethnic Stereotypes (A free, 33-page article from 2018)

The Open Buddhist University · Word Embeddings Quantify 100 Years of Gender and Ethnic Stereotypesthe embedding can be leveraged to quantify changes in stereotypes and attitudes toward women and ethnic minorities in the 20th and 21st centuries in the United States. We integrate word embeddings trained on 100 years of text data with the U.S. Census to show that changes in the embedding track closely with demographic and occupation shifts over time.
Today, the 2nd lecture of #ISE2025 took place with an introduction into Natural Language Processing, which will be subject of our lecture for the next 4 weeks.

As long as you...
(1) host and run it yourself,
(2) it's open source,
(3) it's not trained on art or personal data,
(4) it's not constantly re-trained at extreme energy costs to be "up to date",
(5) it's not advertised as an information source, therapy, search engine, artificial intelligence or anything else it's not,
there's literally no ethical issue in #LLM. It's just a mathematical language model.
I wonder how #hashtags would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a #language with strongly marked cases.
If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '#Pilzen', because '#Pilzen' is a different hashtag from '#Pilze'. Let alone #Pilzes and #Pilz.
Would we tag things with #SemanticWeb URIs?

Are you a fan of #ComputationalLinguistics? Do you wish ACL conferences had more linguistics content these days? You might be interested in the conference hosted by the Society for Computation in Linguistics! #SCiL2025 https://wellesley-easel-lab.github.io/SCiL2025/index.html

@freakonometrics Brilliant. #ChatGPT introduces a change in word frequency distribution and that makes papers written by/with ChatGPT detectable. Do it, please. We all need this BS detector!

On 30 August, our #RSEs Erik Tjong Kim Sang, Angel Daza and Thijs Vroegh attended the #ComputationalLinguistics in The Netherlands (#CLIN34) in Leiden. They had a great time connecting w/ 211 fellow computational linguists from the Netherlands and Flanders! #NLP

Nice example of how important emphasis can be for language understanding. Depending on which word in the sentence below is emphasized, it completely changes its meaning.
For #LLMs (and for our #ise2024 lecture) this means that learning to understand language purely from written text is probably not an "easy" task....

Can we predict a word? - A fundamental question which we will answer in the upcoming #ise2024 lecture on statistical language models ;-) ...and of course Shakespeare will also play a role

In lecture 3 of #ise2024 we were discussing how to properly evaluate an #NLP experiment and introduced basic evaluation measures recall, precision, accuracy and f1-measure.

"This study is the first attempt to apply the masked language modeling approach to corrupted inscriptions in Hebrew and Aramaic languages, both using the Hebrew alphabet consisting mostly of consonant symbols. In our experiments, we evaluate several transformer-based models, which are fine-tuned on the Biblical texts and tested on three different percentages of randomly masked parts in the testing corpus."

Been talking to the undergrad about what comes next. He’s doing a math degree which he enjoys and is getting good grades in, and he loves languages, especially grammar and especially Latin.
Anyone know a field (academic or otherwise) this might point at? Thoughts about postgraduate options? He can study/work in the E.U. and U.K.
