I missed my #introduction!

I am a PhD in Human-Robot Interaction #hri, and I have worked 10+ years on #robotics software for NAO and Pepper, two famous #socialrobots.

I'm also interested in cognitive science #cognition, its consequences in #philosophy, and its power to cut the bs.

I am currently a freelance (https://palaio.eu) and I promote my work, my knowledge and my opinion on #ai and #robotics. I wish to foster some common grounds with research and industrial peers.

Ten simple rules for making training materials FAIR ➡️ https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007854 #FAIR #FAIRtraining #OpenAccess

Your #Android phone has a so-called Google advertising ID*, a unique number for your device. Using that, #tracking companies follow and record what you do on your phone, even across apps from different companies.

Luckily, you can now disable the advertising ID to make it harder for them to track you. We recommend doing this to everyone. Here's how it works.

*Unless of course, you’re using a google-free #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS or similar. :)

#introduction I'm Sebastian, a #computational #linguist (sometimes also an #nlp person) at Stuttgart University. I work on #semantics, #multilinguality, #digitalhumanities, #computationalsocialscience and some #machinelearning.

A new study finds 3,000 websites on which third-party tracking companies scoop up what you type into forms in real time — even if you never hit submit. This happens on about 1,800 websites for E.U. users too, likely in violation of the GDPR.

Tracking science and its users has been a worrying development over recent years, especially by academic publishers such as #Elsevier. It's also something the academy isn't talking enough about IMHO. Such tracking & surveillance is an affront to academic freedom.

Taking up this thread are Eiko Fried & Robin Kok who placed a subject access request with Elsevier. This blog post describes what they found -- and it confirms the surveillance we all fear https://eiko-fried.com/welcome-to-hotel-elsevier-you-can-check-out-any-time-you-like-not/

#introduction Hi fediscience.org! Thank you very much for hosting my account. I am a geologist postdoctoral researcher working on geochemistry/mineralogy/crystallography

Important read for anyone doing #survey #research

"Do you know where your survey data comes from?" - tracing how the big online survey companies get their data, with some advice on how to try to improve data quality.

After all: Writing is talking the talk. Coding is walking the walk. So please, fellow peers: Cite your software. Spend some time researching how the authors that your research is based on want to have their code cited. Do your due diligence. Be fair!

It strikes me as odd that (at least in my discipline) a lot of fellow researchers do not regard it as necessary to correctly cite the software used in/for their own research. I have even received complaints by fellow peers for practicing absolutely rigorous citing of all software that is involved in my research. Why do people seem to feel that code is somehow less valuable than written words?

doing research on language variation in cat-related digital spaces #meowlogism and #purrieties , mainly qualitative and exploratory, but now also opening up to quantitative methods. Learning #python now because I am into #DigitalHumanities and #OnlineDialectology

Oh, and I am a big #cat lover 😸
