Last week, our students learned how to conduct a proper evaluation for an NLP experiment. To this end, we introduced a small textcorpus with sentences about Joseph Fourier, who counts as one of the discoverers of the greenhouse effect, responsible for global warming.

Slide of the Information Service ENgineering lecture 03, Natural Language Processing 02, section 2.6: Evaluation, Precision, and Recall
Headline: Experiment
Let's consider the following text corpus (FOURIERCORPUS):
 1
In 1807, Fourier's work on heat transfer laid the foundation for understanding the greenhouse effect.
2
Joseph Fourier's energy balance analysis showed atmosphere's heat-trapping role.
3
Fourrier's calculations, though rudimentary, suggested that the atmosphere acts as an insulato…

Last year, we bought a collection of 17 Georgia paintings by 19th- and 20th-century artists, many of whom are lesser known. Even the ones who are better known, like #NellChoateJones, aren't exactly _well_ known. We're excited to start studying these works and learning about the Georgia scenes many of them show.

Nell Choate Jones' painting "Square at St. Mary's," a color scene that shows a Black family in a southern square, next to a big tree. They could be in front of a church. Most of them are wearing white.
Augusta Oelschig's painting of a young Black boy in a gold frame. She shows him at bust length, looking slightly to his left. He wears a pale blue shirt with an open collar.
A watercolor painting of Savannah by Hattie Saussy. Seen from a park it shows several four- or five-story brick buildings across the way, partially blocked by greenery. The image is soft and pastel, more abstract in the foreground and more precise in the background.

Baltany branded watch with a milk chocolate brown face featuring a 'Mercedes' style hour hand, while the minute hand is sword-shaped with its sides angling outwards. The hourly markings use the vintage Rolex 'error-proof' layout (a.k.a. the 'California dial'). As such the 12 is a downward facing triangle, 3/6/9 are horizontally aligned batons. For the remaining numbers, the upper ones are roman numerals, while the lower ones are arabic numerals. The watch has a light brown leather strap and a p…

Next stop in our NLP timeline is 2013, the introduction of low dimensional dense word vectors - so-called "word embeddings" - based on distributed semantics, as e.g. word2vec by Mikolov et al. from Google, which enabled representation learning on text.
T. Mikolov et al. (2013). Efficient Estimation of Word Representations in Vector Space.

Slide from the Information Service Engineering 2025 lecture, lecture 02, Natural Language Processing 01, NLP Timeline. The timeline is in the middle of the slide from top to bottom, indicating a marker at 2013. On the left, a diagram is shown, displaying vectors  for "man" and "woman" in a 2D diagram. An arrow leades from the point of "man" to the point of "woman". Above it, there is also the point marked for "king" and the same difference vector is transferred from "man - > woman" to "king - ?…

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see this is a scene set in what appears to be a futuristic medical facility or laboratory, with clean white walls and advanced-looking equipment visible in the background. The setting has the distinctive sterile, high-tech aesthetic typical of science fiction productions from this era. An elderly man with grey curly hair is seated at what looks like a examination or work table, wearing casual clothing. The scene appears to be from a dramatic mome…

Local outlets captured the event much more accurately and gave it priority coverage.
Covering the pro-democracy movement is not partisan.
Here is one example. See our blog post for many, many, more.

Local outlets did *much* better than "Big Journalism" covering the #handsoff pro-democracy demonstrations.
Newsroom leaders need to defend democracy from autocracy.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows three people in what appears to be a dimly lit, industrial or spacecraft-like setting. They're wearing period costume that suggests a science fiction production from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The individuals are dressed in earth-toned clothing including vests and collared shirts, appropriate for a space-based drama. The composition shows them in close proximity, seemingly in the middle of a tense or important conversation. The lighting an…
