Legal issues in Linguistics

I've been looking a the growing scholarship around legal issues linguists face in their research. The following is a list of links.

BibTex Materials in XML Markup

It seems that BibTeX materials can be written as XML.

Here are some resources I found on this:

  • a python2 script: https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~sprenkle/bibtex2html/bibtex2xml.py
  • an overview presentation: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8c8e/44b18bacac15f14113af3d4b55f028e0a842.pdf
  • Software Package: http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/hpsg/archive/projects/bibtex2html/
  • Prior research: https://web.science.mq.edu.au/~rdale/resources/bibtex/index.html
  • maybe some XSLT files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bibtexml/

Hugo and XML

I did not know that Hugo could query XML...

I discovered this.... this is in fact really exciting news.

Three tools for study:

  • https://gohugo.io/functions/transform.unmarshal/#xml-data
  • https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/issues/1622
  • https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/parsing-xml-in-data-with-hugos-new-xml-support-attributes/36654

Hats and other things

Katja has taken a liking to skiing. the local rental shop will rent her a set of skis and boots for $129 for the season. As much as I want to help her have access to skis I want to help her understand money and entrepreneurship.

I put it out there that she will need to pay for the skis for next year (the ski pass is free till age 12). There was silence for a few minutes after which she said that she could make hats. She likes to crochet. I suggested that hand made hats might be in the order of $25-$30 and that six of them might generate enough income for the skis.

Since concocting this plan on Friday she has lined up training for hat making (a friend), and discovered where she can sell them (the annual ski swap event). This is going to be fun and interesting to support. Some time in the future we’ll take a look at the business model canvas.

All a board.

On the slopes

AI and Society

I have been reflecting on how our environment is shaped by algorithms. We are presented options via algorithms (in cases like direct marketing). We are sometimes subject to the impacts of automation systems such as systems in California which assign the possibility of bail based an algorithmic assessment of the case file.

In an AI based culture we can’t control the AI based nature of those things reported around us(variable prices or news articles), but we can focus our relationships on those around us. The question of social importance is where does the AI influence us in the decision making process? The problem in legal frameworks are that the decision processes are directed graphs with bounded options. However we are not bounded in our decision making as individuals. That is, AI may not actually be more equitable or just than a human decision maker.

In a sense then to reduce decisions to AI decision makers is to show a certain amount of apathy.
