I wonder how #hashtags would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a #language with strongly marked cases.
If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '#Pilzen', because '#Pilzen' is a different hashtag from '#Pilze'. Let alone #Pilzes and #Pilz.
Would we tag things with #SemanticWeb URIs?

How To Think About #Scraping: In #privacy and #labor fights, #copyright is a clumsy tool at best
A wee #introduction since there are lots of folks joining or rejoining the fediverse in general and Mastodon in particular.
I'm Dave, a #queer #Catholic who runs and sings for fun. I play #VideoGames (currently #Titanfall2) and watch a lot of #Dropout (#Dimension20, #PlayItByEar, #GameChanger are faves), #VideoEssays, and #anime.
I recently went to my first #burn (not #BurningMan, tho) and am digging the inclusive accepting culture.
At work I'm a #researcher in #ComputationalLinguistics focused on #NaturalLanguageGeneration and #psycholinguistics methods. You could say my dayjob is trying to develop a more ethical #ChatGPT
Feel free to ask me questions about #Mastodon if you are #NewHere
I've been a researcher in the field of #computationallinguistics for over 15 years. Interested in #semantics, #cognitivescience, energy-efficient and ethical #AI systems. I've worked at the universities of Cambridge, Potsdam, Stuttgart and Trento, with a brief stint at Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.
I am one of the core developers of PeARS (https://pearsproject.org/), a slow but friendly open-source project aiming at developing a fully private, decentralised Web search engine.
#introductions I am professor emeritus of #computationallinguistics and senior researcher at the University of Gothenburg. For a number of years my work has centred on #TTR (a theory of types with records) oriented towards a theory of language which is action based and uses #types rather than sets of possible worlds. https://sites.google.com/site/typetheorywithrecords/publications
Time for a re-#introduction:
I am a researcher in #SignLanguage #Lingustics. I work at the #DGSCorpus project at #UniversitätHamburg, creators of the largest discourse corpus of #GermanSignLanguage. My background is in #ComputationalLinguistics (aka #NLP) and currently I focus a lot on #ResearchDataManagement and ethical #OpenScience for sign language data.
I program mostly in #Python and enjoy tinkering with #LaTeX.
I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's #Discworld. And of #cats. Cats are nice 
Let's see if I get it right:
Hello strangers! here is a computational linguist (#annotation specialist), with a ba in #linguistics , partial ms in #computationallinguistics, and an ma in #mediastudies (when i researched #realism, #postmodernism, and #psychoanalysis in #feminist #documentaries ). Also #crazycatlady and soft #astrology enthusiast (sun in cancer)

Hi everyone! A sort of #introduction seems in order so: I'm a #ComputationalLinguistics and #NLP prof and researchwr working on minority languages and historical languages. My main and favourite activity is to make tools that benefit language communities and linguists but I really love making tools in general so I do a lot of other stuff.
might fuck around and start putting UNK for all words that don't conform to oulipo #computationallinguistics #UNK
