I apologize — even though Emiliano bolded/underlined the time of today's
talk, I didn't notice until now that the talk moved to this morning.
Unfortunately, my morning is packed with chair-related meetings
back-to-back so I can't make it today. I really apologize
about that...</div>

<div><span class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet
ms",sans-serif">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.<br>
