Wonders of Tartu 🇪🇪 Oct 25 - Jan 26

Ever wonder if there's a specific “language” to Disinformation? The DigiTS reading group discussed N. Lebbernegg's, @jamoeberl.bsky.social & co's “Do You Speak Disinformation?” which explores how explainable machine learning can be used to spot deceptive news articles based on style & structure.

It's -8°C, but the DigiTS reading group goes on. This week we discussed gender bias in LLMs. In a man's world, LLMs reproduce stereotypes and can amplify uneven power dynamics. Gender studies and political economy thus remain essential to reflect upon the future of AI.

This week at the DigiTS' reading group we discussed @pascaleispunk.bsky.social @alielassche.bsky.social et al's very interesting paper on the canonicity of Danish novels during the Modern Breakthrough. 🇩🇰 After all, why do some novels make it into the canon and others don't? 🤷‍♀️

Today we had our first lab meeting @digitsut.bsky.social with @botondszemes.bsky.social discussing his most recent working paper! 📜 🤖
