Published at #IRRJ: "Don't Use LLMs to Make Relevance Judgments" by Ian Soboroff. #evaluation #relevance #llm
Claims like "X language is for beginners" or "Y language isn't suitable for real problems" are just dressed-up versions of "X language sucks". They are pseudo-religious arguments, not technical ones. They are not useful in choosing technology to use.
A "real programmer" chooses languages, libraries, and other technical things based on utility, not holy wars (like "vi vs. Emacs", or "tabs vs. spaces").
e.g. For different problems and situations, you might choose a language because it is technically suited to a particular problem class. Or you might choose it because the group to work on the problem has deep experience with it, even though another language is slightly better suited to the problem. Or you might pick one based on a dozen other factors - and usually you will actually use more than one in making the choice.
Hollow assessments like "Python is for beginners" aren't useful. The people who make such statements are generally not particularly well-versed in the thing they are criticizing, and possibly not with programming/engineering in general.
If you want real assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of a language or other part of a tech stack, they're out there - but they will be articles and essays, not sentences.

Technical debt is a pervasive and unacknowledged disease in so many fields I find myself in, and the bill has come due.
Just in time for funding cuts and layoffs. Ofc.
Ein kleiner Eindruck von der idw-Jubiläumsveranstaltung am 13. und 14. März in der @BBAW in Berlin.
Auf dem Festakt gab es mehrere Grußworte, ein #KI-Vortrag von Prof. Katharina Zweig und die Verleihung des idw-Preis für #wisskomm: https://idw-online.de/de/news848988
Nach der #idwMV25 haben wir eine spannende Arbeitstagung zu den Themen #socialmedia #evaluation und Pressemitteilung als Multimediapaket durchgeführt.
Es hat uns große Freude gemacht mit euch zu feiern!

J'ai fait une intervention au siège du CNRS mercredi sur les biais et plus généralement les pbs d'évaluation des LLMs.
Pour celles et ceux que ça intéresse, les diapos sont ici :

We readily inquire, “Does he know Greek or Latin?” “Can he write poetry and prose?” But what matters most is what we put last: “Has he become better and wiser?” We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty.
[Nous enquerons volontiers, Sçait-il du Grec ou du Latin ? escrit-il en vers ou en prose ? mais, s’il est devenu meilleur ou plus advisé, c’estoit le principal, & c’est ce qui demeure derriere. Il falloit s’enquerir qui est mieux sçavant, non qui est plus sçavant. Nous ne travaillons qu’à remplir la memoire, & laissons l’entendement & la conscience vuide.]

Fuck ey! Der Plan, ausgerechnet durch Waffenproduktion Frieden zu schaffen, klingt doch reichlich esoterisch.
Den Kalten Krieg kenn ich die meiste Zeit ja nur vom Hörensagen. Aber zu Entspannung und #Frieden hat ja nicht #Abschreckung durch #Aufrüstung geführt. Es waren #Gespräche und #Abrüstung.
Klar muss Europa jetzt Verantwortung übernehmen. Aber doch bitte anders als die USA. Und bitte mit #Evaluation der Geschichte.
Ich wohne hier nämlich auch.
Bin dann auch bald auf dem Weg zur #DHd2025, die Vorfreude steigt!
Für das @tcdh haben wir hier mal notiert, was wir alles machen: https://tcdh.uni-trier.de/de/event/das-tcdh-bei-der-dhd2025-bielefeld
Kommt gerne vorbei! Es geht um #Evaluation von #Keyness-Maßen, #Shakespeare #Editionen, #LLMs und #SetFit für #Metaphern, #Vokabulare für #LOD und #Forschungsdaten für die DH-#Wissenschaftsgeschichte!
U.a. mit @ClaudiaBamberg, @cnDuKeli Julia Dudar, @moulin, Marina Spielberg, @MariaHinzmann, Julia Röttgermann.
Since informalscience.org was down (probably due to ongoing manufactured funding chaos), I've downloaded the NISE reports that fellow evaluator Amy Grack Nelson shared. It's about 10 years of previously publicly available reports from museums and nonprofit organizations.
If there's interest here, I can share the link, but I don't want to give the bots/scrapers more fuel.
