MEANING will be concerned with automatically collecting and analysing language data from the WWW on a large scale, and building more comprehensive multilingual lexical knowledge bases to support improved word sense disambiguation (WSD). Current web access applications are based on words; MEANING will open the way for access to the Multilingual Web based on concepts, providing applications with capabilities that significantly exceed those currently available. MEANING will facilitate development of concept-based open domain Internet applications (such as Question/Answering, Cross Lingual Information Retrieval, Summarisation, Text Categorisation, Event Tracking, Information Extraction, Machine Translation, etc.). Furthermore, MEANING will supply a common conceptual structure to Internet documents, thus facilitating knowledge management of web content.

Can algorithmic gender prediction ever be valid?
Check out this week's top pick by @lina_conti: "Algorithmic Gender Prediction Is Illegitimate, But Gender Imputation Can Yield Valid Measurements" by @evandongyx & @ang3linawang.

Predicting gender from images or names can reveal discrimination. But the practice itself harms trans people. This paper works through when that tradeoff might be justified and how to do it responsibly.
