Re: Mathematical modelling of sterotypes?
How dare you suggest I discriminate! I hate everyone equally!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
More seriously: this is an interesting way to use machine learning to study changes in usage of language, and stereotypes. It does however remind me of one very early attempt at using computers to study literature. They basically counted the occurrence of words in the works of Shakespeare, and concluded that, given the frequent occurrence of the word, Shakespeare was incredibly fond of art. This might have been the case, but they failed to notice the fact that "art" in works of Shakespeare was more often that not a verb, not a noun.
