I use AI to investigate what the Dutch historically thought about plants and animals.
The questions I ask range from methodological questions such as:
- How can we use transformer models to detect attitudes in text?
- Can we use Large Language Models to train other models?
To more practical questions:
- What attitudes towards plants and animals existed in the period 1500-2000?
- Is biodiversity in texts decreasing?
- When did the rabbit change from food to pet?
