Polarization in online communities is often studied through either language or interaction structure, but the two views are rarely connected in a unified measurement pipeline. Prio…
Actors, Frames and Arguments: A Multi-Decade Computational Analysis of Climate Discourse in Financial News using Large Language Models
Ruiran Su, Janet B. Pierrehumbert, Markus Leippold
Financial news media shapes trillion-dollar climate investment decisions, yet discourse in this elite domain remains underexplored. We analyze two decades of climate-related articl…
Quantifying Compositionality of Classic and State-of-the-Art Embeddings
Zhijin Guo, Chenhao Xue, Zhaozhen Xu +4
For language models to generalize correctly to novel expressions, it is critical that they exploit access compositional meanings when this is justified. Even if we don't know what…
ClimateViz: A Benchmark for Statistical Reasoning and Fact Verification on Scientific Charts
Ruiran Su, Jiasheng Si, Zhijiang Guo +1
Scientific fact-checking has mostly focused on text and tables, overlooking scientific charts, which are key for presenting quantitative evidence and statistical reasoning. We intr…
