📑new paper on the generalisability of abusive language detection models and the role of slurs and profanity in training! 💭non-abusive swearing and implicit abuse are often confusing for models. _how_ do such biases come into play? 💡open access on: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The first speaker of this afternoon's session is @JoBrodie, who reminds us how #scicomm is done successfully, and who helps researchers share their work publicly.
At today's CogSci Fest, we also had our own Julian Hough, @mpurver and @poesio giving an overview on their research, which includes modelling behaviour on online media (in different languages), using games to study language, and improving human-machine interaction.

In the first half of the @QMCogSci Fest, we also heard how important studying human interaction is for the design of robots.

In the current CogSciFest session, @Pat_Healey emphasises how important social interaction is in human life. For organising ourselves, as well as for our mental and physical health.

I am taking part in this today, via Zoom :) Lots of fun but my laptop tends to overheat so am giving it regular Zoom-free breathers.
Next up are Chathura Sooriya-Arachchi, @AnnaNolda, and @azn_bbygurl introducing their research on measuring personal productivity, wearable sleep trackers and hate speech.

Looking forward to a (hybrid) get-together of @QMCogSci and a day of short talks from all corners of our CogSci community - from robots to video games to computational linguistics. (with good representation of the @QMUL_MAT community, too!)
Don't miss the Cognitive Science Festival, taking place tomorrow 10am - 6pm. Join us in CS400 in the Peter Landin Building on our Mile End Campus, or online. Drop in and out throughout the day as much as you want! See the full programme for the day here: bit.ly/3DfKabJ
