Can everyone get interesting jobs? Estimating interest fit across gender, ethnicity, and education
Although research and policy efforts have attempted to “even the hiring playing field” and progress equal opportunities, systemic employment patterns based on gender and ethnicity remain prevalent. An unexplored avenue of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts is the degree to which all people can obtain jobs that fit their interests. The present study used a large, diverse sample of over 250,000 American employees to estimate the average vocat…
Examining Help-Seeking Intentions of African American College Students Diagnosed with Depression
To Lead Is to Err
The purpose of this study was threefold: to expand the existing leader error taxonomy to include a third dimension of leader error (i.e., ethical errors), to examine the differential effects of error type on leader ratings, and to test a mediated model in which behavioral attribution mediated the relationship between error type and leader ratings. Results showed that ethical errors were distinct from previously established dimensions. Ethical and…
Computational Linguistics
Three times a year I get my copy of a wholly respectable mainstream linguistics journal. Its scholarly articles are rich in examples from varied languages, and alongside these detailed analyses it advances theoretical claims and counterclaims. Its many reviews point to much more of the same. But this journal content is of interest here for another reason than these scholarly ones. First, references to computing are conspicuous by their absence. J…
Some Points in a Time
This article offers a personal perspective on the development of language and information processing over the last half century, focusing on the use of statistical methods. Introduced, with computers, in the 1950s, these have not always been highly regarded, but were revived in the 1990s. They have proved effective in more ways than might have been expected, and encourage new thinking about what language and information processing involve
Privacy
Modern computing technology makes it possible to record, preserve, collate, reconstruct, and use detailed facts about individuals on a scale and in a style quite different from the past. With this technology, data is voluminous, not sparse; is permanent, not transient; and is detached, not tied to the individual's own observation. How do these developments change the reality, or the perception, of privacy for the individual? How, in particular, d…
Automatic Natural Language Parsing
This collection of papers on automatic natural language parsing examines research and development in language processing over the past decade. It focuses on current trends toward a phrase structure grammar and deterministic parsing
A Statistical Interpretation of Term Specificity and Its Application in Retrieval
The exhaustivity of document descriptions and the specificity of index terms are usually regarded as independent. It is suggested that specificity should be interpreted statistically, as a function of term use rather than of term meaning. The effects on retrieval of variations in term specificity are examined, experiments with three test collections showing, in particular, that frequently-occurring terms are required for good overall performance.…
