| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The paper applies large language models to sentiment analysis in comparative religion, building on the success of natural language processing in social sciences and humanities. Specifically, it uses pre-trained models to analyze the emotions expressed in five translations of the Sermon on the Mount, a key text in Christianity. By comparing chapters and verses across translations using sentiment and semantic analysis, the study reveals varying emotional tones and vocabularies, highlighting Jesus’ use of humour, optimism, and empathy in his message. This work sheds light on the role of emotions in religious texts and has implications for understanding the cultural and historical contexts that shaped these texts. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper uses special computers to understand how people feel when they read certain parts of the Bible. They looked at five different versions of a famous speech given by Jesus, called the Sermon on the Mount. By analyzing what words mean and how people use them to express emotions, the researchers found that each version has its own unique way of using humor, being optimistic, and showing empathy. This helps us understand more about the people who wrote these texts and why they used certain words to make Jesus’ message feel a certain way. |
