On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this (very preliminary) project, I aim to develop a framework for studying narratives. I propose a novel methodology which leverages LLM capabilities to extract individual stories from a corpus of texts, creating a database of stories. Stories are then compared, via a notion of semantic similarity which respects story-structure, and agglomerated into narratives. Preliminary results attesting to the capabilities of the methodology in the context of inflation-related narratives will be furnished, along with proposed directions for future research. Accompanying preliminary theoretical conjectures, and the empirical hypotheses they generate, will also be discussed.
