Reddit dataset RoBERTa (populism and emotions) computational linguistics
by David Abadi 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Dear colleagues, Herewith, I’d like to share some news with researchers interested in populism, emotions, framing, media bias and social identity. Last year, Agneta Fischer and I collaborated with colleagues from Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at UvA (Pere-Lluís Huguet-Cabot, Verna Dankers, Ekaterina Shutova), and recently we published two papers in the field of computational linguistics (as listed below). For our latest paper, we developed a novel deep learning NLP model based on RoBERTa (Liu, 2019) to detect populist attitudes, media bias, emotions and social identity. In the near future, our dataset (consisting of 6861 annotated Reddit comments) will be made publicly available through GitHub for the research community to be used. Huguet Cabot, P. L.

Invitation Hot Politics & Centre for the Politics of Feelings Drinks at ISPP
by Maaike Homan 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

Dear colleagues and friends of the Hot Politics Lab & Center of the Politics of Feelings, ISPP is getting close and it looks as it's time to prepare for a "warm" welcoming in the city of Athens. As hot as it will get, our feeling is that a cold refreshing break from the conference context would be warranted! The Hot Politics Lab (University of Amsterdam, www.hotpolitics.eu<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotpol…>) and the Center for the Politics of Feelings (Royal Holloway University of London, https://www.politics-of-feelings.com/<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polit…>) kindly wish to invite you to a social event on Friday July 15 starting at 20.00 , where we can mingle and share research ideas, thoughts, and perhaps future plans over drinks, in one of Athens' coolest, speak-easy cocktail bars, Bel Ray<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbelraybar.…>. The bar is located within a 12-min walk from the conference hotel (see here<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googl…> for directions). We offer a limited amount of free drinks (the earlier you arrive; the better). And you can take a pizza from the restaurant opposite of Bel Ray, and take it back into the cocktail bar. We look forward to meeting you for the first time or catching up from where we left it! Please share the word with fellow academics who have a keen interest in political psychology, emotions, cognitive neuroscience and psychophysiology. Also, please feel welcome to bring your +1 with. Hope to see you there! Gijs Schumacher, Diamantis Petropoulos Petalas & Manos Tsakiris Kind regards, Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [logo hot politics]
