Extracting structural/linguistic properties for large text datasets can be annoying. Existing tools either are not maintained, do not scale, or do not cover extensive sets of linguistic features. For this reason, I implemented 🧝elfen, a Python package for efficient linguistic feature extraction

Crowdsourcing datasets is very common, but how much of those results come from LLMs these days? How can we prevent it? Much of it is unclear. This is why we’re conducing a survey (~10 min) to gather community experiences, challenges, and solutions. Share your thoughts 👉https://tinyurl.com/39ab55wf

How does the public conceptualize AI? Rather than self-reported measures, we use metaphors to understand the nuance and complexity of people’s mental models. In our #FAccT2025 paper, we analyzed 12,000 metaphors collected over 12 months to track shifts in public perceptions.
