SUMMARY:Marshall TAYLOR (New Mexico State University) - "Meaningful Geometries: Towards a More Reliable Analysis of Culture using Word Embeddings"
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar \nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nDate: 25th of March\nRoom : 3049 \n  \nMarshall TAYLOR “Meaningful Geometries: Towards a More Reliable Analysis of Culture using Word Embeddings” \nAbstract :  \nTo what extent do text corpora reflect gender or social class biases? In computational social science\, answering these types of questions often involves analyzing semantic dimensions in word embedding spaces. While powerful\, this approach relies on “anchor” words that lack standardized reliability assessments. I introduce a new\, structure-agnostic metric to fill this gap. I validate the metric at the word-level using expert- and crowd-sourced dictionaries and at the document-level using expert-annotated social media posts. I also provide simulation-based heuristic baselines to facilitate effect size interpretation and null hypothesis testing. \n  \nEtienne OLLION (Pôle sociologie CREST)\n \nPaola TUBARO (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nNicolas JULIA (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nPatrick PRÄG (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n
