This is fine meme but the dog is the university sitting in the fire and saying “at least we are #1”
While Berlin transformed into a little winter wonderland I had the pleasure to teach a very interested group a thing or two about automated image analysis. Thanks for the invite @bachl.bsky.social !
Super excited to have @feloe.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social today for our first DiMES workshop on automated image and video analysis. W/ @bcastanho.bsky.social @vivifabrien.bsky.social @ifpuk-berlin.bsky.social
Study by @mariekevhoof.bsky.social et al.(2024) compares 5 methods for detecting political searches in browser histories: Zero-shot AI (like GPT) achieves highest recall but needs human validation for accuracy. Best approach is AI-human collaboration: use AI to filter searches, then human review. 🧪
