• Abstract: Research on social stratification is closely linked to analysing the prestige associated with different occupations. This research focuses on the positions of occupations in the semantic space represented by large amounts of textual data. The results are compared to standard results in social stratification to see whether the classical results are reproduced and if additional insights can be gained into the social positions of occupations. The paper gives an affirmative answer to both questions. The results show fundamental similarity of the occupational structure obtained from text analysis to the structure described by prestige and social distance scales. While our research reinforces many theories and empirical findings of the traditional body of literature on social stratification and, in particular, occupational hierarchy, it pointed to the importance of a factor not discussed in the main line of stratification literature so far: the power and organizational aspect.

  We show that applied research topics, such as crime and health, serve as the primary driving force behind the emergence and diffusion of trends within the discipline. This work sheds light on the institutional mechanisms that govern knowledge production, demonstrating that sociology's intellectual landscape is not dictated by simple top-down diffusion from elite institutions.

  Stance detection plays a pivotal role in enabling an extensive range of downstream applications, from discourse parsing to tracing the spread of fake news and the denial of scientific facts. We introduce TASTE -- a multimodal architecture for stance detection that harmoniously fuses Transformer-based content embedding with unsupervised structural embedding. TASTE achieves state-of-the-art results on common benchmarks, significantly outperforming an array of strong baselines.

  We propose a method that leverages large language models (LLMs) to extract and organize these structures into a hierarchical framework. We validate this approach by analyzing public opinions on generative AI collected by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs. Our analysis provides clearer visualization of the factors influencing divergent opinions on generative AI, offering deeper insights into the structures of agreement and disagreement.

  This paper provides a systematic overview of prior works on the logical reasoning ability of large language models for analyzing categorical syllogisms. We first investigate all the possible variations for the categorical syllogisms from a purely logical perspective. We then examine the underlying configurations (i.e., mood and figure) tested by the existing datasets.

  We learn a fixed set of domain-agnostic descriptors for document sections and "retrofit" the corpus to these descriptors. We analyze the position and ordering of these descriptors across documents to understand the relationship between discipline and structure. Our findings lay the foundation for future work in assessing research quality, domain style transfer, and further pragmatic analysis.

  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.
