The Role of Follow Networks and Twitter's Content Recommender on Partisan Skew and Rumor Exposure during the 2022 U.S. Midterm Election
Social media platforms shape users' experiences through the algorithmic systems they deploy. In this study, we examine to what extent Twitter's content recommender, in conjunction with a user's social network, impacts the topic, political skew, and reliability of information served on the platform during a high-stakes election. We utilize automated accounts to document Twitter's algorithmically curated and reverse chronological timelines throughout the U.S. 2022 midterm election. We find that t…

When Your Reviewer is an LLM: Biases, Divergence, and Prompt Injection Risks in Peer Review
Peer review is the cornerstone of academic publishing, yet the process is increasingly strained by rising submission volumes, reviewer overload, and expertise mismatches. Large language models (LLMs) are now being used as "reviewer aids," raising concerns about their fairness, consistency, and robustness against indirect prompt injection attacks. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of LLMs as academic reviewers. Using a curated dataset of 1,441 papers from ICLR 2023 and NeurIPS 2022, we…

My fediversary is also November 2022, not sure what day. But these three years have been excellent- here's to many more. And it's all you cool folks who make it so great to be here, so thank you all for that. 💥

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 10 nodes and 40 edges.

Largevars: An R Package for Testing Large VARs for the Presence of Cointegration
Cointegration is a property of multivariate time series that determines whether its non-stationary, growing components have a stationary linear combination. Largevars R package conducts a cointegration test for high-dimensional vector autoregressions of order k based on the large N, T asymptotics of Bykhovskaya and Gorin (2022, 2025). The implemented test is a modification of the Johansen likelihood ratio test. In the absence of cointegration the test converges to the partial sum of the Airy_1 …

Investigating Document Type, Language, Publication Year, and Author Count Discrepancies Between OpenAlex and Web of Science
Bibliometrics, whether used for research or research evaluation, relies on large multidisciplinary databases of research outputs and citation indices. The Web of Science (WoS) was the main supporting infrastructure of the field for more than 30 years until several new competitors emerged. OpenAlex, a bibliographic database launched in 2022, has distinguished itself for its openness and extensive coverage. While OpenAlex may reduce or eliminate barriers to accessing bibliometric data, one of the…

Before Midnight (2013)
I must say I was disappointed there wasn't a sequel to Céline and Jesse's story in 2022.
But maybe… everything that had to be said has been said. That's probably it.
"You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Lodged in life
Like two branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you, you’ll carry me

Gestern demonstrierten rund 60 Fahrradfahrer:nnen in #Osnabrück für bessere Radwege. Eine schöne Spazierfahrt die bei 18 Grad etwas kälter als erwartet fand. Da wir als Gruppe als ein Fahrzeug gelten, können wir Kreuzungen und Überwege passieren, sobald die ersten Räder drüber sind. Auch wenn dass dann z.B. wieder Rot wird. Das fühlt sich seltsam an, und macht Laune. Endlich mal Vorfahrt für …
