Also, what is rational might also be behaviors we dont want in society.

Its probably a mix?

För att förtydliga. Det går att sitta på KB labb och göra enklare analyser. Men det omöjliggör forskning på språkmodeller. Det som inte är tillåtet för mig är att kopiera materialet till ex. beräkningskluster vid Universitetet.

Det som är ännu mer absurt är att jag i 7 år försökt få forska på materialet, på samma sorts modeller som de tränar, men vid universitetet. Jag har fått nej från KB med hänvisning till samma pliktlagstiftning. De tolkar det som att pliktlagstiftningen endast ger KB rätt att forska på materialet.

I'm happy to share that our team (@lecoursonnais.bsky.social, Maria Brandén, @martinhallsten.bsky.social and myself) has received 6.8M SEK in funding from the Swedish Research Council for our project: “Paths of Inequality: Life-Course Segregation Across Multiple Domains.”

Honored that our paper “Detecting Legal Citations in United Kingdom Court Judgments” was featured in the Senior Area Chair Highlights at #EMNLP2025!

Thanks to my co-authors Andreas Östling and @mansmag.bsky.social and to the reviewers and SACs for the recognition.
