I spy with my little eye... a WACV paper. We investigate visual frame detection using Minimum Cost Multicut clustering. Check out the paper to see which foundation model embedding space works best: arxiv.org/pdf/2412.01296 @IsaacBr45419303 @margret_keuper @SteWalter @dwsunima

We are waiting for your submissions! 😊

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 To what extent does the population of a former colonising country support political apologies for slavery? Inge Hendriks, @NielsSpierings, and Marcel Lubbers show that younger cohorts are more supportive of apologies, but found no differences between educational groups.

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 Francesca Sobande (@chess_ess) and Emma-Lee Amponsah analyse media (re)presentations of "Black joy" and related marketplace experiences, while reflecting on Black life in Belgium + Britain. Full article available here: doi.org/10.1080/014198…

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 In this new paper, @DrSarahLiu and @TsungLunOne show that the Taiwan's COVID 19 only applies to native citizens as migrants' interests are rarely represented in legislative debates. Taiwanese legislators demonize migrant workers while victimizing migrant spouses. Full article is available here: doi.org/10.1080/014198…

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 Repercussions of online hate against Asian-heritage individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic: Showing identity & coping as intertwined, these findings offer empowerment perspectives for ethnic minority individuals.

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 The paper by @Rai_deCarvalho, @Martina_Santia, and @DrSrivi adopts a critical approach to examine how US news outlets framed the public health emergency among the Yanomami People in Brazil during the pandemic. Full article is available here: doi.org/10.1080/014198…

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 @alice_beazer @seanpalicki @SteWalter & EldridgeIl combine topic models and informed grounded theory to explore representations of a minoritized group during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings show that solidarity emerged through the platforming of migrant women’s voices, and connected to discourses of class, poverty and precarity. Representations containing empathy and pity – less likely drivers of social change – were more prevalent. Full article is available here: doi.org/10.1080/014198…

#ERSNew🐣 🔓 Some Dutch minorities are numerically well-represented, but exclusions mean they do not feel they are Dutch. These minorities' feelings of representation are shaped by boundaries and privileges in complex ways.

🆘🆘 from our @UNRWA staff in northern #Gaza. Nearly three weeks of non-stop bombardments from the Israeli Forces as the death toll increases. Our staff report they cannot find food, water or medical care. The smell of death is everywhere as bodies are left lying on the roads or under the rubble. Missions to clear the bodies or provide humanitarian assistance are denied. In northern Gaza, people are just waiting to die. They feel deserted, hopeless and alone. They live from one hour to the next, fearing death at every second. Throughout the war over the past year, some UNRWA staff stayed in the north & did the impossible to provide aid to internally displaced people. We kept some of our shelters open despite heavy bombardments & attacks on our buildings. On behalf of our staff in northern Gaza, I am calling for an immediate truce, even if for few hours, to enable safe humanitarian passage for families who wish to leave the area & reach safer places. This is the bare minimum to save the lives of civilians who have nothing to do with this conflict. #CeaseFireNow

How are children affected by the Israel-Hamas war covered in US newspapers? Is there enough coverage, which kids and topics are mentioned the most? My Media Portrayals of Minorities Project lab veteran Abby Ward review the last year's worth of stories: mediaandminorities.org/GazaChildren/

Preprint alert! 🚨Happy to share our work on a key challenge in content analysis: coder bias – the systematic variation in annotations driven by individual characteristics when coding with human or LLMs. Let’s break it down… osf.io/preprints/soca… #Bias #Research #Methods #AI
