The new integrated Markdown parser I’ve been implementing in Kitten has been kicking my ass for the past few weeks but I think I finally have it fully working and seamlessly so. Expect a new release this/next week that brings the parsing of Markdown pages (.page.md files) in your apps up to the standard of the recently-improved runtime Markdown parsing in Kitten HTML tagged-template strings (within `<markdown>…</markdown>` blocks).
The coolest thing is I was able to impleme…

De martelpraktijken die Israël toepast op onschuldige mensen zijn natuurlijk allang bekend.
Toch is dit verhaal schokkend.
Niet alleen vanwege alle sadistische details.
Maar ook omdat het Zweedse consulaat niets ondernomen heeft om dit te stoppen.
En, zoals Greta zegt: als ze dit al met ons kunnen doen, stel je eens voor wat ze uithalen met de Palestijnse gevangenen.
Israel is een fascistische staat, waarmee we als NL onmiddellijk *alle* banden mee moeten verbreken. …

Oh FFS:
"Scale of ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march shows free speech ‘alive and well’ in UK, says minister".
This is from our the Ai-savant Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle.
Maybe what he needs is a good kicking over from some Nazi thugs to wake him up.

Can LLM-Generated Textual Explanations Enhance Model Classification Performance? An Empirical Study
In the rapidly evolving field of Explainable Natural Language Processing (NLP), textual explanations, i.e., human-like rationales, are pivotal for explaining model predictions and enriching datasets with interpretable labels. Traditional approaches rely on human annotation, which is costly, labor-intensive, and impedes scalability. In this work, we present an automated framework that leverages multiple state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) to generate high-quality textual explanations. …

Adoption of Explainable Natural Language Processing: Perspectives from Industry and Academia on Practices and Challenges
The field of explainable natural language processing (NLP) has grown rapidly in recent years. The growing opacity of complex models calls for transparency and explanations of their decisions, which is crucial to understand their reasoning and facilitate deployment, especially in high-stakes environments. Despite increasing attention given to explainable NLP, practitioners' perspectives regarding its practical adoption and effectiveness remain underexplored. This paper addresses this research ga…

When Explainability Meets Privacy: An Investigation at the Intersection of Post-hoc Explainability and Differential Privacy in the Context of Natural Language Processing
In the study of trustworthy Natural Language Processing (NLP), a number of important research fields have emerged, including that of \textit{explainability} and \textit{privacy}. While research interest in both explainable and privacy-preserving NLP has increased considerably in recent years, there remains a lack of investigation at the intersection of the two. This leaves a considerable gap in understanding of whether achieving \textit{both} explainability and privacy is possible, or whether t…
