In an effort, as a dog person, to resist the dangerous proliferation of cat language. I will propose a new division, Data Observation and Generalisation (DOG), and the inauguration session will be titled “Wooferful data and where to collect them”. #ICA26

Happy to be back to beautiful Edinburgh for #asen2026 @asenevents.bsky.social. In a world plagued by far-right nationalism, this cannot be more relevant. I will be share my insights in AI and nationalism studies tomorrow afternoon (panel F0). Let’s connect if you are in town!

Starting 2026 with spending hours to convert pdf to Word and follow all that funky formatting for a journal, just to get desk rejected. I can’t believe there are still journals that only accept Word.

While Europe is still figuring out how do we coexist with AI agents, Asia is moving quick, and probably too quick. The Ministry of Education in Taiwan just announced a scheme, distributing AI systems to help high school teachers to grade student essays. I don’t know where to begin…

I’m honored to be a candidate for International Liaison of ICA’s Computational Methods Division! My journey as a researcher has taken me across the world. These experiences have shown me how cultural and structural barriers shape the way knowledge is produced, shared, and recognized.

Happy to report that I successfully survived #ICA25 with my tiny budget of $100 for a week’s food. I would like to thank all the reception organisers for making this possible.

One person, R Studio, live coding. This is such a beautiful way to do tool demo by @jbgruber.bsky.social #ica25

You would have expected the official app of the largest organisation that studies media and communication to be able to handle line breaks. I have headache reading this… #ica25

If you are interested in studying nationalism computationally, this might be an article for you! I talk about a (sub-)field that arguably does not exist yet: computational nationalism studies. Full article here: stateofnationalism.eu/article/comp...

If you have heard enough what LLM can do at #COMPTEXT2025, let us tell you what LLMs CANNOT do in our panel: We don’t need no LLMs (Sat 2:45pm BIG Hörsaal). I will present my work on the linguistic and contextual bias that I found in a boatload of LLMs (using over 120 different model setups).

Absolutely excited to host a roundtable on "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" featuring @krangelie.bsky.social and @indiiigo.bsky.social at #COMPTEXT2025 🙌 We'll explore how bias and marginalisation shape methods and models - and thus scientific quality!

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to speak in a webinar for a group of colleagues from the UK. About ten people attended, and two of them shared that they had recently been laid off.

A few ASCoR colleagues and I are conducting a study on the usage and perception of generative AI in research among communication scholars (broadly construed) and the best practices to minimizing the risks of such use. Link to the survey: uva.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Happy to share that my colleagues and I will be presenting a paper on computational analysis of images and texts at ICA 2025. In the paper, we systematically evaluated six approahes that use LLM/LVM to study social media images. If you are interested, check this preview out:

I have created this starter pack for computational social science, I am pretty sure it is not complete so drop me a dm and I will add you/your suggestions! #compsocsci

I will be presenting my project, comparative media dataset, which aims to curate a dataset of major outlets in every country in the world. Can’t wait to see you all in Utrecht!
