By inserting an artificial word with precisely defined frequency and #dispersion, they test how well different measures detect what’s truly #distinctive.

Their findings uncover that a #TF-IDF -based measure is more sensitive to dispersion variations than other dispersion-based measures. #Evaluation

The Hebrew Novel project is led by Yael Dekel, as part of her inspiring work in the @bgu-litlab.bsky.social. The sub-project presented in this article is a result of our collaboration with our wonderful colleague, @gilad-jac.bsky.social.

Jacobson et al. explore how #ReaderUncertainty becomes a source of insight by embracing interpretive #ambiguity.
Drawing on 1,026 questionnaire responses from the #HebrewNovelProject, they examine how readers express uncertainty—from skipping questions to outright rejecting interpretive frameworks.
