Screenshot of a powerpoint slide stating, in large letters, "Defending the Status Quo: Exploring r/TrueUnpopularOpinion as a Defensive Public." Below, in smaller text, "Larri Miller (she/they) University of Massachusetts, Amherst." Along the bottom, "Far-Right and Far-Left Discourse in Digital Spaces: Radicalization, Media Framing, and Alternative Platforms CompText 2025"

I had a great time presenting my work for the first time at #COMPTEXT25 - excited to keep coming back to this excellent conference!

Alex Hartland presenting work on sentiment and stance detection in political text

Matilde Ceron presenting work on the relationship between gender and polarisation in political texts

Giuseppe Carteny presenting work on automated classification of gender topics in political manifestos

Another fascinating morning at #comptext25

I was happy to join a panel on data and themes from the Horizon project #ActEU with @matildecer.bsky.social on gender and polarisation, @giucarny.bsky.social on gender and climate change.

Looking forward to more from ActEU and more panels this afternoon!

Very sad that I can't join #comptext25 this year -.- but for those interested in political psychology, we just published the preprint of my last dissertation paper where we conducted a validation study for measuring politicians' public personality traits using text as data: doi.org/10.31219/osf... 👇

Excited to present tomorrow @ #COMPTEXT25 this 4-step workflow by me and @fabiogiglietto.bsky.social for SM discourse analysis: extracting text features using the 5Ws+H framework, generating embeddings and clustering features with LLMs, detecting narratives through network and qualitative analysis.

Excited to be at #comptext25 hosted by @compcommlab.bsky.social at @univie.ac.at! 📚 The program is packed with fascinating panels and presentations. Tomorrow, I’ll be presenting part of my thesis on digital election interference, with a focus on news media reporting.
