Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Product safety idioms: a method for building causal Bayesian networks for product safety and risk assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Idioms are small, reusable Bayesian network (BN) fragments that represent generic types of uncertain reasoning. This paper shows how idioms can be used to build causal BNs for product safety and risk assessment that use a combination of data and knowledge. We show that the specific product safety idioms that we introduce are sufficient to build full BN

Idiomify -- Building a Collocation-supplemented Reverse Dictionary of English Idioms with Word2Vec for non-native learners [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The aim of idiomify is to build a collocation-supplemented reverse dictionary of idioms for the non-native learners of English. We aim to do so because the reverse dictionary could help the non-natives explore idioms on demand, and the collocations could also guide them on using idioms more adequately.
