He Votes or She Votes? Female and Male Discursive Strategies in Twitter Political Hashtags

In this paper, we conduct a study about differences between female and male discursive strategies when posting in the microblogging service Twitter, with a particular focus on the hashtag designation process during political debate. The fact that men and women use language in distinct ways, reverberating practices linked to their expected roles in the social groups, is a linguistic phenomenon k...

Is it a he or a she? Behavioral and computational approaches to sex categorization.

Can people categorize the sex of neonate faces? Our experiment tested the sex categorization of neonate faces by adult participants. We used a set of 120 Caucasian faces (adults and 4-day-old neonates) that were presented just once to a large sample of participants. A computational model of low-level visual processing, based on Gabor filters, was used to explore the relation between spatial-fre...

D oscillations, for which the B factories have found strong evidence, provide a new stage for our search for New Physics in heavy flavour dynamics. While the theoretical verdict on the observed values of xD and yD is ambiguous – they could be fully generated by SM dynamics, yet could contain also a sizable contribution from New Physics – such oscillations can enhance the observability of CP vio...

He Said, She Said: Gender in the ACL Anthology

Studies of gender balance in academic computer science are typically based on statistics on enrollment and graduation. Going beyond these coarse measures of gender participation, we conduct a fine-grained study of gender in the field of Natural Language Processing. We use topic models (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) to explore the research topics of men and women in the ACL Anthology Network. We ...
