OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Evolving Credibility of Stories
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.
