• Title: How Masterly Are People at Playing with Their Vocabulary? Analysis of the Wordle Game for Latvian
• Authors: Mat\=iss Rikters and Sanita Reinsone
• Abstract summary: We describe adaptation of a simple word guessing game that occupied the hearts and minds of people around the world. There are versions for all three Baltic countries and even several versions of each. We specifically pay attention to the Latvian version and look into how people form their guesses given any already uncovered hints.

• Abstract: In this paper, we describe adaptation of a simple word guessing game that occupied the hearts and minds of people around the world. There are versions for all three Baltic countries and even several versions of each. We specifically pay attention to the Latvian version and look into how people form their guesses given any already uncovered hints. The paper analyses guess patterns, easy and difficult word characteristics, and player behaviour and response.

• What an Elegant Bridge: Multilingual LLMs are Biased Similarly in Different Languages [51.0349882045866]
  This paper investigates biases of Large Language Models (LLMs) through the lens of grammatical gender. We prompt a model to describe nouns with adjectives in various languages, focusing specifically on languages with grammatical gender. We find that a simple classifier can not only predict noun gender above chance but also exhibit cross-language transferability.

• From stage to page: language independent bootstrap measures of distinctiveness in fictional speech [0.0]
  We introduce and evaluate two non-parametric methods to produce a summary statistic for character distinctiveness. We analyse 3301 characters drawn from 2324 works, covering five centuries and four languages. Based on exploratory analysis, we find that smaller characters tend to be more distinctive, and that women are cross-linguistically more distinctive than men.

  We can design parameterized strategies for solving Wordle, based on probabilistic, statistical, and information-theoretical information about the games. The strategies can handle a reasonably large family of Wordle-like games both systematically and dynamically. This paper will provide the results of using two families of parameterized strategies to solve the current Wordle.

  Communicating with humans is challenging for AIs because it requires a shared understanding of the world, complex semantics, and at times multi-modal gestures. We investigate these challenges in the context of Iconary, a collaborative game of drawing and guessing based on Pictionary. We propose models to play Iconary and train them on over 55,000 games between human players.

  Specific lexical choices in narrative text reflect both the writer's attitudes towards people in the narrative and influence the audience's reactions. We show how word connotations differ across languages and cultures, highlighting the difficulty of generalizing existing English datasets. We then demonstrate the usefulness of our method by analyzing Wikipedia biography pages of members of the LGBT community across three languages.

• Predicting Declension Class from Form and Meaning [70.65971611552871]
  Class membership is far from deterministic, but the phonological form of a noun and/or its meaning can often provide imperfect clues. We operationalize this by measuring how much information, in bits, we can glean about declension class from knowing the form and/or meaning of nouns. We find for two Indo-European languages (Czech and German) that form and meaning respectively share significant amounts of information with class.
