Hello,

Oh no! I missed this too unfortunately!
My explanation is that my email in the last few days has been impacted 
and I only managed to get it back to normal yesterday afternoon.

> *ABSTRACT*
> Those involved in the Yellow Vests movement have used numerous 
> communication channels, most of which come under the heading of 
> socio-numerical networks (Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp...). We gained 
> access to the Telegram feed of the Haute-Garonne yellow vests and set 
> about analyzing the discussions held there. Initially, we looked at 
> the 50,000 written messages, seeking to determine the different themes 
> addressed and their temporalities of expression based on an analysis 
> with the Reinert method (Sebbah & Ratinaud, 2023) in the IRaMuTeQ 
> software (Ratinaud, 2020). The availability of the Whisper model 
> (Radfort & al., 2022), which enables the automatic transcription of 
> oral discourse, also enabled us to analyze the 2201 audio messages 
> present on the discussion threads. After highlighting some of the 
> limitations of the automatic transcription produced by Whisper, we 
> will focus on the differences and similarities between text and audio 
> messages. Our first remarks will concern the statistics associated 
> with these corpora (average message size, word frequencies, etc.), 
> then we'll compare the preferred themes and their chronology.  This 
> experience of analyzing audio messages enables us to describe an 
> approach which, despite its limitations, should help to broaden the 
> practice of analyzing socio-numerical networks and the media in 
> general, by simplifying and amplifying the use of textual statistics 
> to analyze the discourse of radio, television and the countless videos 
> put online every day.
