We argue that it encompasses ideas of illness and health, and also of dying and fear of suffering. Building on a specific strand within anti-vaccination studies, we conjecture that vaccine hesitancy is, to some extent, reasonable, and that this scepticism should be studied with compassion. Through a mixed methods approach, vaccine hesitancy, as it is being expressed in a Swedish digital open forum, is investigated and understood as, on the one hand, a perceived need of protecting one’s body from techno-scientific experiments, and thus the risk of becoming a victim of medicine itself. On the other hand, the community members express what we call a tacit belief in modern medicine by demonstrating their own “expert” pandemic knowledge. The analysis also shows how the COVID-19 pandemic triggers memories of another pandemic, namely the swine flu in 2009–2010, and what we term a medical crisis that occurred then, due to a vaccine thatcaused a rare but severe side effect in Sweden and elsewhere.}, journal = {Journal of Digital Social Research (JDSR)}, author = {Hammarlin, MIa-Marie and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios and Borin, Lars}, year = {2023}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, pages = {31--61}, } @article{forsgren-etal-2023-text-330978, title = {The use of text-mining software to facilitate screening of literature on centredness in health care.}, abstract = {Research evidence supporting the implementation of centredness in health care is not easily accessible due to the sheer amount of literature available and the diversity in terminology and conceptualisations used.

Indeed, these deficits involve the presence of anomalies in speech production and understanding, which find an expression at the acoustic and prosodic levels of linguistic analysis. Objectives: The main aim of this work is to propose a speech pipeline for the extraction of Italian speech biomarkers typical of ASD by conducting an acoustic and phonological analysis. Moreover, we will highlight the strengths and difficulties of this kind of investigation introducing new topics for further research. Methods: The poster will present the analysis of a speech corpus of 14 Italian-speaking children with ASD and 14 controls (C). The corpus is demographically balanced (age 6-10, 8;1 ± 1;3. Sex: 3F, 11 M) and homogeneous at the diatopic level (origin: Prato, Pistoia, Florence). First, we extracted the acoustic features by using eGeMAPS (openSMILE; Eyben et al., 2015), specifically ideated for the study of impaired speech. Then, we implemented the Mann-Whitney U-test to select the features with the most statistically significant distance in the production of the two groups. Secondly, we conducted a parallel extraction regarding the pitch (F0 mean and standard deviation). We propose this additional analysis because pitch varies according to some demographic traits of the speaker (sex, age, height) and the literature presents opposite trends. For this task, we used Praat to have more flexibility in the manipulation of the extraction. We set the F0 range between 70 and 400 Hz (Patel et al., 2020). Finally, we conducted a comparison between the results of the two methods excluding female participants to verify if the trend of pitch changes when the participants are not mixed. Results: Table 1 shows the features selected between the ones extracted. They are related to prosody, quality of voice, loudness, and spectral distribution. Jitter, shimmer and HNR are usually investigated together to describe the emotional prosody and the quality of voice. The same trend found on our corpus is recorded in previous studies on languages other than Italian (Bone et al. 2015; Kissine & Geelhand 2019). Moreover, spectral flux is usually investigated together with shimmer and jitter to describe speech impairments (Haider et al., 2019). Nevertheless, if we consider the studies related to autistic speech, there are few that describe this feature because of the different methodologies used during the extraction. Finally, the values of pitch extracted by eGeMAPS and Praat show the same trend. It is higher in ASD than in controls, both if we considered the corpus mixed and the one with only the male speakers. However, the pitch does not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (Table 2). Conclusions: These results, although preliminary, seem to confirm the presence of phonetic alterations of speech associated with the disorder. Further studies could improve the accuracy of the pipeline proposed by doing a qualitative analysis of the results and considering other linguistic and paralinguistic domains (e.g., morphological, pragmatic, and gestural analysis). }, booktitle = {The 22nd International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), May 3-4, Stockholm, Sweden}, author = {Beccaria, Federica and Gagliardi, Gloria and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios}, year = {2023}, } @inProceedings{bloomstrom-etal-2023-preparing-328710, title = {Preparing a corpus of spoken Xhosa}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2023 CLASP Conference on Learning with Small Data (LSD), Gothenburg and online 11–12 September 2023}, author = {Bloom Ström, Eva-Marie and Slater, Onelisa and Zahran, Aron and Berdicevskis, Aleksandrs and Schumacher, Anne}, year = {2023}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, address = {Gothenburg, Sweden}, ISBN = {979-8-89176-000-4}, pages = {62--67}, } @misc{dunabeitia-etal-2023-editorial-333441, title = {Editorial: Digital Linguistic Biomarkers: Beyond Paper and Pencil Tests -Volume II }, abstract = {Our first volume laid the foundation for understanding the potential of digital linguistic biomarkers in assessing various cognitive and psychological aspects. In this second volume, we witness a significant advancement in both the scope and depth of research in this area. The featured articles in this volume contribute to our understanding of how linguistic biomarkers can transcend traditional paper-and-pencil tests, offering a more nuanced and comprehensive approach to the assessment of cognitive function and psychological well-being.In the first study of the volume [Gonzalez-Recober et al., 2023], the authors employed automated methods to investigate speech production during category and letter fluency tasks, commonly used neuropsychological assessments for evaluating lexical retrieval abilities. Their analysis encompassed a diverse range of linguistic and acoustic features, providing a more comprehensive perspective on these tasks than previous studies. As expected, participants produced more words during the category fluency task than during the letter fluency task. Moreover, several linguistic and acoustic measures displayed distinctions between the two tasks. The automated techniques employed in this study offer a reproducible and scalable approach for analyzing fluency tasks, with potential applications in clinical settings. By implementing these methods, future research endeavors are expected to expand our knowledge of speech feature differences, not only in terms of total scores but also across various speech measures, particularly among clinical populations.In the second article of the volume [Sánchez-Vincitore et al. 2023], the authors present a longitudinal analysis of linguistic biomarkers to detect cognitive decline. Their study underscores the potential of natural language processing techniques in identifying subtle cognitive changes over time. They examined data from over 3,000 participants aged 45 and older to investigate the relationship between age, gender, and language-mediated working memory processes using commercial cognitive tests (in their case, scientific tests developed by CogniFit Inc.). The findings revealed that age negatively predicted working memory performance, highlighting the potential of computerized assessments in predicting cognitive functions during aging and the need for further research on gender effects in cognitive aging. This study contributed to the growing body of evidence supporting the utility of linguistic biomarkers in early cognitive assessment.In the third study of our volume [Kim et al. 2023], the focus shifts to postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients following spinal surgery. POD has been linked to adverse outcomes in this demographic, prompting researchers to explore potential biomarkers for degenerative cerebral dysfunctions like mild cognitive impairment and dementia. The authors used electroencephalography (EEG) to measure an EEG biomarker reflecting idle cortical states through intrinsic alpha oscillations in the prefrontal regions. Cognitive follow-ups were performed using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status™ (TICS). The study observed that among patients diagnosed with POD, neurocognitive disorders could persist for up to 1 year postsurgery. These findings suggest that EEG has the potential to be a novel and valuable tool for identifying elderly surgical patients at a higher risk of developing postoperative delirium, offering opportunities for early intervention and improved patient outcomes.As the fourth article in our volume, the study by [Saccone et al. 2023] delves into the realm of schizophrenia, examining how it affects speech prosody and pragmatic functions. The study conducted corpus-based research, focusing on real-life spontaneous interactions to shed light on the prosodic features of schizophrenia. Notably, the speech patterns of patients revealed distinct characteristics. Their speech was organized into smaller, less structured information chunks, punctuated by frequent silences and extended pauses during turn-taking. Fluency was disrupted by retracing phenomena, particularly in complex information structures. Besides, comparing Topic and Comment-prominences between patients and non-pathological individuals revealed a consistent pattern. Patients exhibited higher values for Topic-prominence across all parameters, while the non-pathological group displayed the opposite trend. These findings provide valuable insights into the prosodic and pragmatic aspects of speech in schizophrenia, emphasizing the importance of understanding these linguistic manifestations in the context of the disorder's impact on communication.In closing, the second volume of "Digital Linguistic Biomarkers: Beyond Paper and Pencil Tests" presents a short yet diverse and comprehensive array of research articles that collectively advance the field. These contributions not only underscore the relevance and timeliness of linguistic biomarkers in the digital age but also highlight their potential to revolutionize the way we assess cognitive function, psychological well-being, and aging across diverse populations, extending to pathological and clinical samples.}, author = {Dunabeitia, Jon Andoni and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios and Gagliardi, Gloria}, year = {2023}, volume = {14}, } @inProceedings{hammarlin-etal-2023-fearing-327373, title = {Fearing mRNA: A Mixed Methods Study of Vaccine Rumours}, abstract = {The first mass-distributed vaccines based on mRNA technology were launched in 2021 to protect against COVID-19, sparking rumours among vaccine critical individuals that these “new” vaccines might be more dangerous to the health than other, “traditional” vaccines.

Nevertheless, standard speech and language evaluation is time-consuming and resource-intensive for clinicians. We argue that using machine learning methodologies, natural language processing, and modern artificial intelligence (AI) for Language Assessment is an improvement over conventional manual assessment. Using these methodologies, Computational Language Assessment (CLA) accomplishes three goals: (i) provides a neuro-cognitive evaluation of speech, language, and communication in elderly and high-risk individuals for dementia; (ii) facilitates the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy efficacy in at-risk and language-impaired populations; and (iii) allows easier extensibility to assess patients from a wide range of languages. By employing AI models, CLA may inform neurocognitive theory on the relationship between language symptoms and their neural bases. Finally, it signals a paradigm shift by significantly advancing our ability to optimize the prevention and treatment of elderly individuals with communication disorders, allowing them to age gracefully with social engagement. }, author = {Themistocleous, Charalambos and Tsapkini, Kyrana and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios}, year = {2023}, publisher = {arXiv.org}, } @inProceedings{volodina-etal-2023-grandma-328176, title = {Grandma Karl is 27 years old – research agenda for pseudonymization of research data}, abstract = {Accessibility of research data is critical for advances in many research fields, but textual data often cannot be shared due to the personal and sensitive information which it con- tains, e.g names or political opinions. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) suggests pseudonymization as a solution to secure open access to research data, but we need to learn more about pseudonymization as an approach before adopting it for manipulation of research data. This paper outlines a research agenda within pseudonymization, namely need of studies into the effects of pseudonymization on unstructured data in relation to e.g. readability and language assessment, as well as the effectiveness of pseudonymization as a way of protecting writer identity, while also exploring different ways of developing context-sensitive algorithms for detection, labelling and replacement of personal information in unstructured data.

Still, although sentiment analysis has rapidly progressed during the last years, mainly due to the application of modern AI technologies, many approaches apply knowledge-based strategies, such as lexicon-based, to the task. This is particularly true for analyzing short social media content, e.g., tweets. Moreover, lexicon-based sentiment analysis approaches are usually preferred over learning-based methods when training data is unavailable or insufficient. Therefore, our main goal is to scale-up and apply a lexicon-based approach which can be used as a baseline to Swedish sentiment analysis. All scaled-up resources are made available, while the performance of this enhanced tool is evaluated on two short datasets, achieving adequate results. }, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 24th Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NoDaLiDa)}, author = {Kokkinakis, Dimitrios and Muñoz Sánchez, Ricardo and Hammarlin, Mia-Marie}, year = {2023}, } @incollection{borin-etal-2023-language-337444, title = {Language Report Swedish}, abstract = {Swedish speech and language technology (LT) research goes back over 70 years.

Teman, fokus och resultat från 1940-talet till 1970-talet}, abstract = {År 2026 kommer Nordterm att kunna fira sin femtioårsdag (jfr Bucher 2016b). Men det nordiska terminologiarbetet har en längre historia: ”i alla nordiska länder har [det] funnits ett visst centralt ansvar för terminologiarbete för ländernas huvudspråk ända sedan 1930-talet […]” (Bucher 2016a:74-75). Några aktörer som tagit sådant ansvar är danska Terminologicentralen – TC (1940–1960), norska Rådet for Teknisk Terminologi – RTT (1938–2001) och svenska Tekniska Nomenklaturcentralen/Terminologicentrum – TNC (1941–2018) (Selander 1972; Bucher 2016b; Store norske leksikon 2020; Terminologifrämjandet 2023). Också i Finland bedrevs terminologi(sam)arbete före Nordterms tid, men Centralen för Teknisk Terminologi rf – TSK/Terminologicentralen TSK rf/Terminologicentralen rf inrättades 1974 och bedriver alltjämt verksamhet (Nissilä et al. 2021; Heittola et al. 2022; Terminologicentralen rf 2023). Inom det pågående projektet Termer i tid – Tidens termer kartlägger vi TNC:s arbete för att trygga tillgången på god terminologi inom olika fackområden och bidra till god terminologisk praxis. För detta utnyttjar vi bl.a. det omfattande TNC-arkivet (Heittola et al. 2022; Landqvist et al. 2022). I vår presentation fokuserar vi på samarbetet mellan de tre nationella terminologiorganisationerna TC, RTT och TNC utifrån material i TNC-arkivet. Våra forskningsfrågor är: 1. Vilka teman är aktuella under olika decennier i kontakterna mellan TC, RTT och TNC? 2. Vilka särskilda fokusområden finns mellan å ena sidan TC och TNC och å andra sidan RTT och TNC? 3. Vilka resultat ger kontakterna i fråga om utvalda terminologifrågor? Som material fungerar två delmängder av TNC-arkivet: Utlandskorrespondens Danmark – Udan och Utlandskorrespondens Norge – Unor. Dessa dokumenterar kontakter i skrift mellan TNC, TC och RTT. Vi klarlägger kontakterna över tid och utifrån tema/n, försöker identifiera fokusområden samt redovisar och diskuterar hur utvalda terminologifrågor hanteras (jfr Heittola et al. 2022; Landqvist et al. 2022). Studien anlägger således både ett makro- och ett mikroperspektiv på kontakterna mellan de tre institutionerna. Referenser Bucher, A-L. (2016a).

The results show that for an approach using machine translation for training there is no considerable loss in overall performance nor by any particular linguistic phenomena, while relying on pre-training of a multilingual model results in considerable loss in performance.
