Automatic Reviewers Assignment to a Research Paper Based on Allied References and Publications Weight
Everyday, a vast stream of research documents is submitted to conferences, anthologies, journals, newsletters, annual reports, daily papers, and various periodicals. Many such publications use independent external specialists to review submissions. This process is called peer review, and the reviewers are called referees. However, it is not always possible to pick the best referee for reviewing. Moreover, new research fields are emerging in every sector, and the number of research papers is inc…

If someone wants to investigate a curious issue:
#Python 's subprocess module reports the exit status for a signaled process as (128 signal) for upstream (similarly to how bash's `$?` works), but -signal (as documented) for me.

I just released nugraph, a #dotnet tool for creating visual dependency graph of NuGet packages.
Installation:
dotnet tool install --global nugraph
Usage for a NuGet package:
nugraph Azure.Core
or for a .NET project:
nugraph ~/Projects/Kerberos.NET/Bruce/Bruce.csproj
Many options are available, everything is documented on https://github.com/0xced/nugraph
Enjoy!
Here's the kind of graph it generates (Azure.Core example).

Metadata Enrichment of Long Text Documents using Large Language Models
In this project, we semantically enriched and enhanced the metadata of long text documents, theses and dissertations, retrieved from the HathiTrust Digital Library in English published from 1920 to 2020 through a combination of manual efforts and large language models. This dataset provides a valuable resource for advancing research in areas such as computational social science, digital humanities, and information science. Our paper shows that enriching metadata using LLMs is particularly benef…

The authoritarian dream is rooted in the belief that state violence should serve as the primary tool of governance.
When the guardrails of democracy are dismantled, violence shifts from being a last resort to a governing principle.
This is precisely what unfolded in Los Angeles, where Trump deployed the National Guard and Marines to crush protests against his mass deportation policies,
while mobilizing ICE as a modern-day Gestapo.
What cannot be ignored is that the…

From the Streets of LA to the National Stage: The Left Must Win the Cultural War
Trump’s war on dissent can only be defeated by a left that challenges the values sustaining authoritarianism.

TIL: Anfang der 1990er gab es unter dem Namen „Piazza Virtuale“ ein Kunstprojekt im Rahmen der damaligen Documenta, das Möglichkeiten des interaktiven Fernsehens erforschte und ausprobierte. Plattform war damals 3sat, Rundfunkbeitrag bei der Arbeit. Das Projekt wurde vor wenigen Jahren wissenschaftlich nachbereitet. Wenn ihr auch darüber lernen möchtet, empfehle ich zum Einstieg den zugehörigen Golem-Podcast:

Der Experimental-TV-Sender, der 1992 für kurze Zeit ein europäisches soziales Netzwerk aufspannte, ist fast vergessen. Wir wollen das im Podcast ändern.

Yes, Google, I definitely need to make an "engaging video with AI” for my document of paid ad performance metrics and projections.
This is totally, definitely, indubitably a legitimate use case for a product that you're pushing on your users. *heavy sacrasm*
