What is typology? Typological method - an action in which original facts are recorded, counted and collected mainly with the help of eyes. Original facts are those that have not yet been changed by someone or something. But as for typology - this is the field where those facts that do not have in themselves the property of changing over time are collected and categorized.

Another classification refers to the anatomical characteristics of the cancer: localized or diffuse (with or without lymph node invasion).

Classifying Genre in Historical Medical Periodicals

Next in line: Vera Danilova presents her work on genre classification in digitized periodicals from European patient organizations (1951–1990) using #LLMs as part of the #ActDisease project.

XLM-RoBERTa (UDM) led Q&A tasks with 32% more correct answers than mBERT/hmBERT.
hmBERT (UDM) topped Administrative classification (+16%)
CORE-based models excelled in legal genre prediction.

Is there a data structure that can sensibly handle multiple hierarchical classification systems?

e.g. an Orange, in terms of phylogeny is
Plantae->Eudicot->...->Citrus->sinensis

and in terms of usefulness, is
Thing->Food->fruit->orange
(and it could have multiple parents in this taxonomy, e.g. cleaning product)

Bonus points for cool visualisations of this kind information.

I would absolutely have used this book with younger students and had them do some sorting activities. #classification #books #libraries

Part of my morning ritual is to fix incorrect IDs on iNaturalist for the one species on the planet I'm really, really familiar with, Silene latifolia (my PhD focus). It gives me a quick buzz of competence that lasts several minutes, plus reminds me of good times in graduate school. #silene #dioecy #botany #classification #plants #flowers #inaturalist #caryophyllaceae #WhiteCampion #BladderCampion #BrownUniversity

How would you go about creating a filter that blocks posts about things that people hate?

I've thought I could build a text classifier, but it could be hard to train since I'd need to guess whether or not the author hates the thing they are posting about.

I wouldn't want it to become a filter for all current events news, but I suspect that's what it would become.

Good news for everyone involved in meetings where TLP classifications play a crucial role! I've just updated my repository with the latest, second edition of the TLP Classification Meeting Posters. These are handy tools to explicitly display the TLP classification in use during your meetings.

Updates are welcome, like better design, translation or alike.
