New preprint! Metaphors shape how people understand politics, but measuring them (& their real-world effects) is hard. We develop a new method to measure metaphor & use it to study dehumanizing metaphor in 400K immigration tweets Link: bit.ly/4i3PGm3 #NLP #NLProc #polisky #polcom #compsocialsci 🐦🐦

Screenshot of top half of first page of paper. The paper is titled: "When People are Floods: Analyzing Dehumanizing Metaphors in Immigration Discourse with Large Language Models". The authors are Julia Mendelsohn (University of Chicago) and Ceren Budak (University of Michigan). The top right corner contains a visual showing the sentence "They want immigrants to pour into and infest this country". The caption says: Figure 1: Dehumanizing sentence likening immigrants to the source domain concepts of Water and Vermin via the words "pour" and "infest".

The abstract text on the left reads: Metaphor, discussing one concept in terms of another, is abundant in politics and can shape how people understand important issues. We develop a computational approach to measure metaphorical language, focusing on immigration discourse on social media. Grounded in qualitative social science research, we identify seven concepts evoked in immigration discourse (e.g. "water" or "vermin"). We propose and evaluate a novel technique that leverages both word-level and document-level signals to measure metaphor with respect to these concepts. We then study the relationship between metaphor, political ideology, and user engagement in 400K US tweets about immigration. While conservatives tend to use dehumanizing metaphors more than liberals, this effect varies widely across concepts. Moreover, creature-related metaphor is associated with more retweets, especially for liberal authors. Our work highlights the potential for computational methods to complement qualitative approaches in understanding subtle and implicit language in political discourse.

Taking a stand that we aren’t doing the #nlproc tag here. It’s #nlp. We used #nlproc because a decade ago the #nlp tag was full of sleazy scammers selling guides for hypnotizing women into sleeping with you. But guess what? We won. All the sleazy scammers are doing natural language processing now.

People keep plugging AI "Co-Scientists," so what happens when you ask them to do an important task like finding errors in papers? We built SPOT, a dataset of STEM manuscripts across 10 fields annotated with real errors to find out. (tl;dr not even close to usable) #NLProc arxiv.org/abs/2505.11855

Hot take: Working another weekend this semester, I am left wondering: Why does the #NLProc publication process have so much artificial urgency baked into it? Requiring responses within 24h, emergency reviewers, everything urgent. Like, why? Slow science can also be a community goal.

Just read @olivia.science on the anxiety we feel in the face of "AI" hype & proliferation and institutions & colleagues embracing it as we try to navigate our roles with integrity. Everyone working in #NLProc should read it, esp. if you don't understand objections to AI olivia.science/anxiety/

All modern LLMs run on top of a tokeniser, an often overlooked “preprocessing detail”. But what if that tokeniser systematically affects model behaviour? We call this tokenisation bias. Let’s talk about it and why it matters👇 @aclmeeting.bsky.social #ACL2025 #NLProc

There are 2 mistakes you can make about LLMs: ① Thinking everything LLMs say is correct, they can reason, and with a bit more scale they’ll get us to superintelligence ② Thinking LLMs are good for almost nothing—they are FAR better at all #NLProc tasks than previous methods
