If you have a question about this talk, please contact Panagiotis Fytas.

In this talk, I will present some recent methodological and substantive work in text-based computational social science. To begin, I will present work on the history of immigration discourse in American political speech over the past 150 years, emphasizing aspects of tone, framing, and metaphor. Next, I will present a paper from EMNLP 2022 on the role of language ideology in data curation, specifically with respect to the question of text quality. Finally, time permitting, I will briefly discuss practical approaches to dealing with domain shift in text classification, especially when working with lexicons or otherwise inaccessible models (e.g., commercial APIs).
