In my paper Sample Size Justification I discuss 6 approaches to justifying sample sizes. The focus of the paper is to teach people the tools they need to be honest when they explain where their sample size comes from. I know, so radical ;) online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

lol - point from @danielvanstrien.bsky.social at HF that we need to be clear about open ai with a space vs without when talking about ai. #ff2025

Compar:IA allows users to evaluate multiple LLMs, revealing over-/under-representations, biases, environmental footprint, etc in LLMs’ responses. This tool helps building a high-quality data sets in French and other non-English languages (including users’ prompts data). comparia.beta.gouv.fr #FF2025

I like that Mistral AI is competing again in open-weight small base LLMs, where they used to dominate, but lost to Alibaba's Qwen models.

They released the Ministral 3 series, available in three model sizes: 3B, 8B, and 14B parameters.

Apple's CLaRa-7B-Instruct (Compression-16 & 128)

The CLaRa-7B-Instruct model is Apple's instruction-tuned unified RAG model with built-in semantic document compression (16× & 128x). It supports instruction-following QA directly from compressed document representations.

Example of the timeline, causeline, and storyline framework applied on news from Vossen et al. (2021).

They offer a critical #survey of the #SoA of #EventDetection in journalism, history, and literary studies. By comparing their model to a storyline analysis framework used in news, they show how fiction and non-fiction can be analyzed studying narrative progression across domains. 📖✨ #CCLS25
