Behind the Counter: Exploring the Motivations and Barriers of Online Counterspeech Writing
Current research mainly explores the attributes and impact of online counterspeech, leaving a gap in understanding of who engages in online counterspeech or what motivates or deters users from participating. To investigate this, we surveyed 458 English-speaking U.S. participants, analyzing key motivations and barriers underlying online counterspeech engagement. We presented each participant with three hate speech examples from a set of 900, spanning race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, a…

Mapping the SMEFT at High-Energy Colliders: from LEP and the (HL-)LHC to the FCC-ee
We present SMEFiT3.0, an updated global SMEFT analysis of Higgs, top quark, and diboson production data from the LHC complemented by electroweak precision observables (EWPOs) from LEP and SLD. We consider recent inclusive and differential measurements from the LHC Run II, alongside with a novel implementation of the EWPOs based on independent calculations of the relevant EFT contributions. We estimate the impact of HL-LHC measurements on the SMEFT parameter space when added on top of SMEFiT3.0,…

Linguistically Differentiating Acts and Recalls of Racial Microaggressions on Social Media
In this work, we examine the linguistic signature of online racial microaggressions (acts) and how it differs from that of personal narratives recalling experiences of such aggressions (recalls) by Black social media users. We manually curate and annotate a corpus of acts and recalls from in-the-wild social media discussions, and verify labels with Black workshop participants. We leverage Natural Language Processing (NLP) and qualitative analysis on this data to classify (RQ1), interpret (RQ2),…

Modularity of special 0-cycles on toroidal compactifications of Shimura Varieties
We consider the generating series of appropriately completed 0-dimensional special cycles on a toroidal compactification of an orthogonal or unitary Shimura variety with values in the Chow group. We prove that it is a holomorphic Siegel, respectively Hermitian, modular form
