Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wuraola, I., Dethlefs, N., & Marciniak, D. (2024, November). Understanding Slang with LLMs: Modelling Cross-Cultural Nuances through Paraphrasing. Presented at EMNLP 2024 - 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, Proceedings of the Conference, Miami, FLorida, USA

In the realm of social media discourse, the integration of slang enriches communication, reflecting the sociocultural identities of users. This study investigates the capability of large language models (LLMs) to paraphrase slang within climate-relat...

Described interchangeably as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data, recent years have seen an increasing move towards the use of automated forms of data analysis and scoring mobilised to reorganise and “improve” policing. One f... Read More about Infrastructure shortcuts: the private cloud infrastructure of data-driven policing and its political consequences.
