Arrived in Paris for #ica22! Our Airbnb has a really interesting piece of local ICT history on display: A Minitel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel)! I have never seen one "in the wild" before.
#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.
Here's a link to my latest paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.11987
"Word order typology in Multilingual BERT: A case study in subordinate clause detection".

This Friday is a day packed to the brim with excitement for me: I will travel to #ica22 in Paris (for my first ICA since Puerto Rico 2015 and my 2nd in-person conference since the pandemic), #strangerthings will continue and #obiwankenobi will start...
Im Auftakt der Veranstaltungsreihe "Show and Tell - Social Media Data in Research Practice" von NDFI4Culture, KonsortSWD und Text+ haben Carolin Gerlitz (Uni Siegen) und ich Inputs zum Thema "Twitter Tools: Collecting, Curating and Analysing Data" gegeben. Meine Materialien dazu gibt es hier:

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
Spoiler Alert: Es wird von mir auch einen ganz kurzen Shoutout zu Mastodon und fediscience geben :-)
Kurze Erinnerung: Heute um 14 Uhr findet der Auftakt zur „Show & Tell“-Reihe „Social-Media-Daten in der Forschungspraxis“ statt. Es geht um Twitter-Tools mit Kurzinputs von Carolin Gerlitz (Uni Siegen) und mir. Anmeldung ist noch möglich.

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?

Dringend gesucht!
Für ein Kind (ca. 130-140 groß), das mit seiner Familie aus der Ukraine geflüchtet ist, wird dringend ein passender Rollstuhl gesucht. Elektrisch/manuell erstmal egal, Hauptsache er passt!

There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.
Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.
There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science
https://fediscience.org/invite/j6X8z7qF
Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.
"To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."
