Sophisticated language models such as OpenAI's GPT-3 can generate hateful text that targets marginalized groups. Given this capacity, we are interested in whether large be used to identify hate speech and classify sexist or racist. We use racist passages with zero-, one-, few-shot learning. find zero- one-shot learning, an average accuracy between 55 per cent 67 cent, depending on the category of type With model's high 85 cent. Large have a role play detection, further development they could...

We estimate the effect of age at arrival for immigrant outcomes with a new dataset arrivals linked to 1940 U.S. Census. Using within-family variation, we find that arriving an older age, or having more childhood exposure European environment, led negative wage gap relative native born. Infant had positive natives, in contrast teenage arrivals. Therefore, key determinant during Age Mass Migration was country residence critical periods development.

To examine the reproducibility of COVID-19 research, we create a dataset pre-prints posted to arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv between 28 January 2020 30 June 2021 that are related COVID-19. We extract text from these parse them looking for keyword markers signaling availability data code underpinning pre-print. For in our sample, unable find either open or 75% those on 67% 79% medRxiv.

We investigated whether large language models (LLMs) can develop data validation tests. considered 96 conditions each for both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, examining different prompt scenarios, learning modes, temperature settings, roles. The scenarios were: 1) Asking expectations, 2) expectations with a given context, 3) after requesting simulation, 4) provided sample. modes zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot learning. also tested four settings: 0, 0.4, 0.6, 1. And the two distinct roles helpful...

Public knowledge of what is said in parliament a tenet democracy, and critical resource for political science research. In Australia, following the British tradition, written record known as Hansard. While Australian Hansard has always been publicly available, it difficult to use purpose large-scale macro- micro-level text analysis because only available PDFs or XMLs. Following lead Linked Parliamentary Data project which achieved this Canada, we provide new, comprehensive, high-quality,...
