Dear list members, I'm delighted to announce an exciting new publication in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics series. The title is "Automatic Image Tagging for Corpus Linguistics: a multimodal study of news representations of Islam", and the authors are Paul Baker, Hanna Schmük and Yufang Qian. The Element offers a test of Vertex AI for automatically tagging images, using analyses of the written text, the images, and the interaction between them. It offers a critical evaluation of the software used in this context, and also acts as a practical guide for researchers in this area. The Element is available as an Open Access publication here:
