Later today at #CHR2024, we are going to present our work on #Multilingual #Stylometry!

We isolated the influence of #language on #authorship #attribution #accuracy by translating multiple #corpora into each others' languages while keeping #corpus composition stable.

Interactive showcase: https://showcases.clsinfra.io/stylometry

Full paper: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3834/paper9.pdf

This work was developed within the @CLSinfra project in #Trier, #Krakow and #Prague with Artjoms Šeļa, Evgeniia Fileva and Julia Dudar.

My lab, Computational Linguistics at Manitoba, is seeking motivated PhD students for #AI and #NLProc research in computational humour, historical born-digital #corpora, and #Indigenous language technology: https://clam.cs.umanitoba.ca/open-positions

So you wanna parse/manipulate some #PDF's, huh!?

Well, you better #test your #software thoroughly or bad things will happen!🧪

So how about "this corpus [which] contains nearly 8 million PDFs gathered from across the web in July/August of 2021":
https://digitalcorpora.org/corpora/file-corpora/cc-main-2021-31-pdf-untruncated/

The entire corpus when uncompressed takes up nearly 8 TB!

You can find some more links to different #corpora (even to ones deemed #unsafe!😬) at pdf-association's Github:

👋 Greetings! 👋

We wanted to remind all #fakespeakers that the #Fakespeak project is still alive and kicking – especially after a long and #fakenews filled summer vacation.

We have some great events and research output coming out in the next few months, including a #linguistics conference, #multilingual fake news #corpora, publications bringing together advanced linguistic features and #transformermodels, and a special issue in Linguistics Vanguard on the language of fake news.

Follow along!

Interestingly, very few psychologists are aware of #linguistic #corpora 📊 and their immense research potential. Platforms like CLARIN-PL offer invaluable data that can significantly enhance our understanding of human behaviour and social interactions. 🤝🗣️ It's time more of us psych folk tapped into these resources to advance our field! 🌟🔍

And another one for fellow linguists interested in compiling #corpora of digital discourse: MastoScraper takes advantage of the Mastodon API to collect toots based on a keyword search.
Here goes, feedback welcome!

Finally a corpus containing foul language.

Lexical tutor concordance now has a corpus of movie language COCA Movies 1.6m so we can see how language is used actually used therein.

A potentia game changer for corpus linguistics considering the vast number of humans who only use dictionaries to look up swear words?

Next week, we'll be discussing how to archive and research social media data on a large scale "After Twitter". Very excited to see what comes out of this conference, and also the following data sprint delving into huge German Twitter corpora.

#Eduhub days 2024 at #ZHAW and I cannot be there 😢 🩼

If you go, stop by at the marketplace—in the afternoon my colleague Maren Runte will show our work on creating a learning space for working with linguistic #corpora (to be released later this year)

Today in History and Theory of #DigitalHumanities, @fabianmoss is talking about #corpora and #models!

Our paper on lexical innovation in contemporary Italian has been accepted for the 9th Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics (Venice, 30 November-02 December 2023).

@GretaFranzini

Oliver Watteler and Ulrike Schneider are talking about "Can I publish my social media corpus" @ #cmc2023 #corpora #socialMedia #linguistics #gdpr

One of the prettiest (if not very practical) university locations in Germany. 👋 from #cmc2023 at the University of Mannheim! #corpora #linguistics #socialMedia

Looking forward to present at #cmc2023 in #mannheim in publishing social media data for secondary use and to interesting talks.

#corpora I bet we all have some anxiety about them. How do you choose what texts to look at? How do you know when you have enough? The #DataSittersClub is back, asking those questions and more to corpus linguist Shelley Staples, while exploring pizza and the Newbery Award for youth literature. #DigitalHumanities https://datasittersclub.github.io/site/dsc19.html

Biological data scraping bots i.e. corpus linguists have been getting away with this for years.
