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...

Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods (2023)
Journal Article
Bryan-Smith, L., Godsall, J., George, F., Egode, K., Dethlefs, N., & Parsons, D. (2023). Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods. Computers & geosciences, 178, Article 105405. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2023.105405

Traditional approaches to flood modelling mostly rely on hydrodynamic physical simulations. While these simulations can be accurate, they are computationally expensive and prohibitively so when thinking about real-time prediction based on dynamic env...
