Excited to share our new classifier for implicit motive coding, free for research use! Our updated model, hosted on Huggingface, achieves > 0.85 correlation (Pearson) with the benchmark Winter (1994) dataset: https://implicitmotives.com/blog/an-updated-model-for-motive-classification #NLProc #MachineLearning #ImplicitMotives
Implicit Motives text classifier

A sentence classifier for implicit motives nPow, nAch, nAff.

Anyone have recommendations on decent KVM switches? would be nice if it supports two displays and has a couple extra usb ports. #smallSpaceBigTech #upgrading #downsizing
Running a midterm quiz (coding challenge) in an intro to #Python #NLProc course rn and one student is using #ChatGPT to ask how to code. It’s funny because the student is too basic of a programmer to understand the code it generates. 🤣 #areWeLearningYet

my word imma have to put all the #LLM #GPT nonsense (no literally, nonsense, in the most pedantic possible definition of the word) back on mute because it's seriously damaging my calm

we already know what happens when people see human-shaped patterns in chaos DID YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE EX MACHINA SPOILER EVERYBODY DIES

Pro-Tip: Migrating servers doesn't *have* to mean losing ALL your history ✨ it's not complex✨

- Set up a new account on your new server
- Follow your old account
- BOOKMARK your best old account posts (say 20-30)
- Perform the standard migration process, which links old and new accounts
- BOOST your OWN old bookmarked posts from old-to-new, giving you a starting timeline, then your #Introduction

Sharing as I did this back in early November when I moved 💫 and found it useful #TwitterMigration

Are you fascinated by computational cognitive models? And do you want to investigate how the mind processes multiple languages?

I am looking for three post-docs!

You are interested in questions like: What is the effect of design choices of news recommender systems or social media platforms on news dissemination or public debate?
You have affinity with social-science approaches and theories as well as with computational methods? Then apply with us in Amsterddam @UvA_ASCoR (deadline 17-2) and spread the word!

Three Post-Docs in (Computational) Communication Science

Do you enjoy engaging in cutting-edge research as part of a larger team? answering theoretically and societally important communication science questions? applying computational approaches yourself and/or working closely together with...

tldr; #data #augmentation in #NLProc degrades #textClassification performance in most cases. https://aclanthology.org/2022.insights-1.12.pdf

Well that was fun. Just spent last night experimenting with #dataAugmentation (using #flan-T5 for paraphrasing) and in wondering why it seems to degrade #textClassification performance I came across this great paper essentially saying the same thing. I guess I’ll revisit this in a year or so when there are better language models.

Give people a home. Seriously. That's it. No strings, no prerequisites, no faith-based, holistic, means-tested, yoga-cebtric meditation parole. Just a home.

We can reduce homelessness if we follow the science on what works

Decades of research have shown that focusing on housing, without making sobriety or mental health treatment a prerequisite, is the most effective way to reduce homelessness
