🚨New pre-print 🚨 News articles often convey different things in text vs. image. Recent work in computational framing analysis has analysed the article text but the corresponding images in those articles have been overlooked. We propose multi-modal framing analysis of news: arxiv.org/abs/2503.20960

When I say my name, people start speaking French to me, although my French is basic. That also happens with AI systems. We wrote a whole paper on that, testing across models for presumed cultural identity based on names w/ Siddhesh Pawar @rnv.bsky.social @iaugenstein.bsky.social
