🧵 NEW PAPER - "Quantifying Narrative Similarity Across Languages" is live at SMR. We combine NLP w pairwise LLM evals to track ideas across media ecosystems and languages. We also figured out a way to eval unsupervised probs on widely understood supervised performance metrics.

I know #AcademicTwitter is much diminished, but let's say you get the following email from your media relations office. Is this an appropriate email for them to send or not? (I am having a bad reaction, but trying to get input if my bad reaction is appropriate)

Some long weekend commentary on pro-Kremlin disinformation awareness campaigns :). cbc.ca/news/politics/csis-di…

A new CSIS ad campaign is using Soviet-style imagery to warn Canadians about disinformation | CBC...

A series of advertising messages from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service released over the last month incorporate imagery traditionally associated with the former Soviet Union.

Anne-Marie Singh, @aserlich, @serhii_bahlai, and I share part of our survey on crime and policing in wartime Ukraine. While Ukrainians are becoming more receptive toward toward guns in civilian hands, there is no rush to mass gun ownership or vigilantism. kyivindependent.com/group-of…

Replying to @KyivIndependent
@KyivIndependent published our latest article on Ukraine's gun culture. We do not find a mass shift toward civilian gun acquisition. Post-war Ukraine is unlikely to be a country of gun-slinging outlaws. THX @MattLightCrim, @aserlich, and Anne-Marie Singh cutt.ly/Q7mA7v8

I like it when journals make all other reviewers' comments available by default. I learn from those reviewers, and it makes the experience much better!

Anyway, the basic story appears to be that PS degrees are declining because law school is declining as an interest. And to the extent PS major numbers can recover the route appears to be introducing more (not less) data science/quant reasoning stuff. Students want that content.

I am not a military or 'border conflict' expert. I am a political analyst with years of fieldwork research in Kyrgyzstan. Since there is a need to explain what's going b/n Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan, I thought to collect here some analysis by my colleagues & myself. A long thread🧵
