As a reminder, attack on speech in higher Ed goes on. New bill will make it illegal to have a DEI office or even host an event about diversity, equity and inclusion in Texas universities

The establishing of a #MultilingualDH working group at #DARIAH is great news! Thanks to @alizhorvathaliz and Maroussia Bednarkiewicz, we will have the opportunity to strengthen the presence of #MultilingualDH in Europe and thus improve the awareness for issues with multilinguality and multiscriptuality in #DigitalHumanities. But this should be only a beginning, as @quinnanya sais: Next stop ADHO.
Opportunities in our "Gender & Tech" Group:
1️⃣ Research Fellow in #TechAbuse via #UKRIFLF
2️⃣ Research Fellow in #NLP via @VISION_UKPRP
3️⃣ PhD in a range of topics via CDT in #Cybersecurity
4️⃣ PhD on #IoT-Abuse via #QUB

#ChatGpt shows promise in distinguishing statements of #fact from statements of #speculation -- a key "skill" when trying to understand what lengthly #provenance texts and notes for #artworks are really saying.
#Question for #histodons and #NLP #Textanalysis #AI people : Who is working in the area of distinguishing "fact" from "speculation" by elements in the language?
What papers should I read?
Thank you!
<p>This paper concerns an empirical evaluation of nine different measures of distinctiveness or ‘keyness’ in the context of Computational Literary Studies. We use nine different sets of literary texts (specifically, novels) written in seven different languages as a basis for this evaluation. The evaluation is performed as a downstream classification task, where segments of the novels need to be classified by subgenre or period of first publication. The classifier receives different numbers of features identified using different measures of distinctiveness. The main contribution of our paper is that we can show that across a wide variety of parameters, but especially when only a small number of features is used, (more recent) dispersion-based measures very often outperform other (more established) frequency-based measures by significant margins. Our findings support an emerging trend to consider dispersion as an important property of words in addition to frequency.</p>
