Yes, Jarle, I agree absolutely, Humanistic Informatics should have a portal to our blogs, like they do at Harvard. We’ve talked about it. Soon we might start working on it too!

I’ve been reading through my blog posts on September 11, 2001 and the days that followed. The things that stand out to me – in addition to the horror of the attack itself – are how massively we (or at least I) used the web to understand what was happening, […]
My colleague Jessica Witte has just shared a preprint where she compared the emotional arcs of the stories we generated using gpt-4o-mini to those of human-authored (pre-2022) stories from the subreddit r/WritingPrompts, conveniently gathered in this dataset. She found a distinct difference in the endings of the LLM-generated stories: both […]
Dorothy Bishop, a psychologist, wrote a useful list of what reviewers need to look out now that so many papers are bad science that looks good thanks to LLMs. Read her whole blog post, she explains it well, but here’s a brief version because I’m pretty sure we’ll be needing […]
I recently read a good article on the different kinds of truth a language model operates with by Luke Mann, Liam Magee and Vanicka Arora, Truth Machines: Synthesizing Veracity in AI Language Models, but despite its lovely typology of truths (consensus, correspondence, coherence and pragmatic) it doesn’t help me with […]
I have this hunch that sparkles and glow and shimmer are somehow a point in the latent spaces of LLMs that have more connections than you would expect. Perhaps their connotation to magic and to the unknown matches some of the mystique of genAI? Or perhaps these words are used […]

And we have to trick even more people to start blogging. Even students and teachers outside huminf. Via RDF U could subscibe for the philosphy channel or the linguistic channel and be up to date on what kind of work going on in those sections. Great for people inside UIB and great for people interessting in the work at UIB.
Jill is the messias!! hehe 🙂

One of my plans for the summer (apart from a holiday) is to learn about aggregation and RDF and all that stuff. Perhaps I’ll be able to put something together by next semester? Or perhaps there are some students who’d like some study credits for building something like this, ah, there’s an idea 🙂

Count me in. 🙂

This is interesting. I donít much about search engines, but I know that it is a problem to find the
