| Challenge: | digitised historical documents suffer from errors introduced by optical character recognition (OCR) and are written in an archaic language. |
| Approach: | They investigate the continuities and transformations of bias in Caribbean historical newspapers during the colonial era . they use distributional semantics models and word embeddings to measure gender, race, and intersectional biases. |
| Outcome: | The authors show that gender and racial biases are interdependent and their intersection triggers distinct effects. |
