MIL-BERT is a neural network algorithm that classifies large texts by selecting relevant excerpts, inspired by multiple instance learning. It scales to samples with nearly 1 million tokens and has been evaluated on seven datasets, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on three long‑text tasks such as political bias detection, trigger warning identification, and author demographic inference. The model also generalizes from weakly‑labeled text bags to accurately classify smaller instances.

The rise of human-AI collaborative writing has created a growing need for fine-grained detection methods that support localizing likely LLM-generated content in mixed-authorship documents. Existing methods for detecting LLM-generated text mainly focus on document-level classification and cannot identify which parts of the text are generated by LLMs.
The paper presents an agentic framework for detecting conspiratorial content in social media by inferring the speaker’s intent rather than merely identifying explicit claims. It leverages social context and adaptive tool use, demonstrating superior performance over text-only and non-agentic models on a large Hebrew tweet dataset spanning election cycles and the COVID pandemic. The study highlights the importance of context-aware, reasoning-driven approaches for accurate conspiracy detection.

The paper introduces a modular data‑science pipeline that estimates public sentiment toward individuals using fragmented, unstructured open‑source intelligence. The pipeline combines web search, text extraction, relevance filtering, tokenisation, co‑reference resolution, and sentiment analysis to produce auditable person‑level sentiment distributions. By comparing AFINN, VADER, and the domain‑specific MINOS algorithm, the authors show that MINOS best distinguishes positive, ambiguous, and negative reputational cases, and they apply the method to the UK Honours system to support transparent, reproducible, human‑in‑the‑loop sentiment assessment for high‑stakes decisions.
