After a lovely lunch and poster session, the afternoon continued with our own talk and a presentation by Andreas Blombach, Philipp Heinrich, and colleagues from @fau.de on drivel in German telegram posts. A very interesting approach to manual annotation of complex and challenging data!

I'd like to think that critical thinking and human-centered, nuanced evaluation is a major strength us linguists generally have (be that when using AI or traditional methods/frameworks). Hopefully this Element contains a little bit of that.

Also: What is tagged as "electric blue"⚡🔷 and what, if anything, does that tell us? - by pure coincidence this could be a valid tag for the Element cover. Working on this I got the chance to experiment and write about how we might want to go forward as a discipline in evaluating tools.

Thanks, Claire! ☺️

Thanks, Paul! It's a great team and a fantastic project, and since it (sadly) is not a long-term project I have (luckily) been able to continue living in Lancaster for now, so I'll still be around for a good few months.

Thank you!
