If fire risk is the standard, shouldn't fossil-fuel vehicles be the first to be banned? Not e-bikes on trains?

Lithium battery fires are rare. Victoria’s proposed e-bike and e-scooter train ban punishes clean mobility, ignoring the far greater fire and safety hazards of petrol-powered transport.

“Walking is still honest,” yet in the global South, it’s more than that: It’s essential; the only mode available to the vast majority. Despite this, streets cater to cars.

Hey! I have a four-year post-doc position in computer science or #digitalhumanities in my ERC CoG project, which focuses on the #multimodality of human communication.

This time I'm looking for someone with experience in information retrieval / knowledge graphs.

Please share the announcement widely – for more details, see the announcement here: jobs.helsinki.fi/job-invite/35

Wow! 🥳🎊 I received a copy of a book we wrote a chapter for with @tuomo and Hanna-Mari Pienimäki.

It's one thing to see one's own work published on a website, but another feeling when you can hold it in your hand.

If you're interested in #multilingualism #sociolinguistics #UrbanStudies and #LinguisticLandscapes check out this book. Relevant also for #UrbanGeography #HumanGeography #GIScience and #multimodality 🤓

The #OpenAccess book is available here: oa.finlit.fi/site/books/e/10.2

Cover of the book. The title is Sociolinguistic variation in urban linguistic landscapes.
Our chapter is chapter 9 with the title "A multimodal approach to physical and virtual linguistic landscapes across different spatial scales".

I have a weird new article out in Frontiers in Communication, in which I examine multimodal corpora from the perspective of Peircean #semiotics. 😀

I argue that computer vision algorithms are inherently limited to Peircean domains of Firstness and Secondness, which is why they must be exposed to Thirdness via annotations.

I then propose how this might be applied using computer vision algorithms and vector search.

FrontiersRethinking multimodal corpora from the perspective of Peircean semioticsThis article discusses annotating and querying multimodal corpora from the perspective of Peircean semiotics. Corpora have had a significant impact on empirical research in the field of linguistics and are increasingly considered essential for multimodality research as well. I argue that Peircean semiotics can be used to gain a deeper understanding of multimodal corpora and rethink the way we work with them. I demonstrate the proposed approach in an empirical study, which uses Peircean semiotics to guide the process of querying multimodal corpora using computer vision and vector-based information retrieval. The results show that computer vision algorithms are restricted to particular domains of experience, which may be circumscribed using Peirce's theory of semiotics. However, the applicability of such algorithms may be extended using annotations, which capture aspects of meaning-making that remain beyond algorithms. Overall, the results suggest that the process of building and analysing multimodal corpora should be actively theorized in order to identify new ways of working with the information stored in them, particularly in terms of dividing the annotation tasks between humans and algorithms.
