What happens when you use AI to tag 8546 images in a 1.5m word corpus of UK news about Islam? How accurate is the tagger? What's the relationship between images and words? My new Cambridge Element with @hannaschmueck.bsky.social and Yufang Qian is now free to access www.cambridge.org/core/element...
We‘ve kept the best for last at #cl2025: @nfdykes.bsky.social shows how our research in @rc21project.bsky.social enables analysts to read concordances at scale using FlexiConc and neural sentence embeddings.
We're (@senso-cloud.bsky.social) committed to translating CL research into impact that helps safeguard children online. If your work addresses issues related to child online safety, get in touch!

My work showed 'illegal' has been the strongest collocate of 'immigrants' in the Times newspaper since the 1970s
Prior to that, the words most associated with 'immigrants' were:
60s: Commonwealth
50s: coloured
40s: illegal
30s: Jewish
20s: British
10s: Canada
