For two different downstream tasks, we use data reported to be gender biased and aggregate it with annotations. First, we propose a new approach to aspect-based sentiment analysis that allows identifying, extracting, and classifying implicit and explicit aspect phrases and their polarity within a single model. The second task we present is grade prediction, where we predict the overall grade of a review on the basis of the review text. For both tasks, we train numerous transformer models and evaluate their performance. The aggregation of sensitive attributes, such as a physician’s gender and migration background, with individual text reviews allows us to measure the performance of the models with respect to these sensitive groups. These group-wise performance measures act as extrinsic bias measures for our downstream tasks. In addition, we translate several gender-specific templates of the intrinsic bias metrics into the German language and evaluate our fine-tuned models. Based on this set of tasks, fine-tuned models, and intrinsic and extrinsic bias measures, we perform correlation analyses between intrinsic and extrinsic bias measures. In terms of sensitive groups and effect sizes, our bias measure results show different directions. Furthermore, correlations between measures of intrinsic and extrinsic bias can be observed in different directions. This leads us to conclude that gender-biased data does not inherently lead to biased models. Other variables, such as template dependency for intrinsic measures and label distribution in the data, must be taken into account as they strongly influence the metric results. Therefore, we suggest that metrics and templates should be chosen according to the given task and the biases to be assessed. }}, author = {{Kersting, Joschka and Maoro, Falk and Geierhos, Michaela}}, issn = {{0169-023X}}, journal = {{Data & Knowledge Engineering}}, keywords = {{Language model fairness, Aspect phrase classification, Grade prediction, Physician reviews}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Towards comparable ratings: Exploring bias in German physician reviews}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.datak.2023.102235}}, volume = {{148}}, year = {{2023}}, } @article{48589, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, journal = {{Critical Sociology}}, number = {{4-5}}, pages = {{727--745}}, title = {{{Ibn Khaldûn and the Political Economy of Communication in the Age of Digital Capitalism}}}, doi = {{10.1177/08969205231206488 }}, volume = {{50}}, year = {{2023}}, } @article{48590, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, journal = {{Critical Sociology}}, number = {{4-5}}, pages = {{757--765}}, title = {{{Ibn Khaldûn and the Political Economy of Communication: A Reply to Graham Murdock}}}, doi = {{10.1177/08969205231201382}}, volume = {{50}}, year = {{2023}}, } @inbook{47548, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Eigentum, Medien, Öffentlichkeit: Verhandlungen des Netzwerks Kritische Kommunikationswissenschaft}}, editor = {{Güney, Selma and Hille, Lina and Pfeiffer, Juliane and Porak, Laura and Theine, Hendrik}}, pages = {{215--236}}, publisher = {{Westend Verlag}}, title = {{{Zur Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie des Digitalen Kapitalismus: Die Aktualität von Manfred Knoches Beitrag zur Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie der Medien und der Kommunikation}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.53291/BWUB5365}}, year = {{2023}}, } @article{46448, abstract = {{We live in times of deep crisis. General crises of society often are accompanied by ideological struggles. Given this context, it is important that social theory reinvigorates the analysis of ideology. For doing so, it makes sense to engage with classical theories of ideology. This paper contributes to this task. It asks: How are the economic and the non-economic related? What is ideology? This article deals with the base/superstructure problem and the problem of ideology via an engagement with selected aspects of Stuart Hall’s, Georg Lukács’s and Raymond Williams’s works. The commonality of Hall’s, Lukács’s and Williams’s thoughts that makes a joint engagement with their works feasible is that they all three dealt with aspects of culture from a critical theory perspective and are in one way or another representatives of Cultural Marxism. While Lukács’s works and Cultural Studies are often presented as conflicting approaches, this paper shows that concerning the question of how the economic and the non-economic are related and how we can think of ideology, the approaches of Lukács, Williams, and Hall complement each other, which allows critical theories of culture to draw on all three approaches and to combine elements from them in a synergistic manner. There are parallels between Williams’, Hall’s, and Lukács’s solutions to the base/superstructure problem. Williams argues that the economic exerts pressures on and sets limits to the non-economic. Hall writes that the economic determines the non-economic in the first instance. Lukács argues that the economic circumscribes subjectivity and the non-economic.}}, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, journal = {{The Communication Review.}}, keywords = {{base and superstructure, culture, economy and culture, Georg Lukács, ideology, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall}}, title = {{{The Problems of Base/Superstructure and Ideology in the Works of Stuart Hall, Georg Lukács, and Raymond Williams}}}, doi = {{10.1080/10714421.2023.2242068 }}, year = {{2023}}, } @inbook{35151, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Soziale Ordnungen des Sterbens: Theorie, Methodik und Einblicke in die Vergänglichkeit}}, editor = {{Schönefeld, Daniel and von Gahlen-Hoops, Wolfgang}}, isbn = {{978-3-8394-6154-9}}, pages = {{75--102}}, publisher = {{transcript}}, title = {{{Der Tod und die Liebe: Die Metaphysik der Kommunikation}}}, year = {{2023}}, } @book{35896, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, isbn = {{978-3-7799-7144}}, publisher = {{Beltz Juventa}}, title = {{{Der digitale Kapitalismus.
