#rtext — Public Fediverse posts

the #Rtext tutorial is now published in #PsychologicalMethods

the 📦 1.0 is finally available from #CRAN

if u update, also re-install the conda environment with textrpp_install()

If you're :rstats: user and interested in 🤗 #transformers, have a look at the text package by @oscarkjell et al.:

👉 https://r-text.org/

Great documentation, including preprint tutorial paper and example data on OSF.

How well can #PsychologicalConstructs be measured by analyzing natural language using #AI?

Our viewpoint is that #LargeLanguageModels provide the missing piece for natural language responses to replace closed-ended rating scales.

#LargeLanguageModels can accurately transform the rich information in natural language to psychological construct scores with high validity.

🎉 The text-package has been downloaded >10k from #CRAN

I'm really thankful for all the wonderful collaborations behind the development of the package!

#Rtext #Tootorial 3

Many R objects from the text-package (e.g., word embeddings and trained models) have meta info ℹ️ that you can see with `comment()`:

```
embeddings <- textEmbed(
texts = "How are you?"
)

# see info about date creation and text version
comment(embeddings)

# see info about settings used in textEmbed()
comment(embeddings$texts$texts)

```

#Rtext #Tootorial 2

Transform natural language to word embeddings (numeric representations):

```
text::textEmbed(
texts = "How are you?",
model = "bert-base-uncased"
)
```

The function downloads the specified language model from HuggingFace 🤗 – and transforms the texts into word embeddings, which can be used in other tasks.

The #Rtext package can be installed from #CRAN:

install.packages("text")

The first time (after having installed the package) you have to install and initialize the python environment:

textrpp_install()
# which installs text required python packages (“textrpp”)

textrpp_initialize()
# which initializes the environment

#Introduction
hej, i’m intrigued abt this move 🌌 🪐 .

i’m hoping to connect with those interested in #RStats, #Psychology and #MentalHealth.

i’m a psychology researcher working with computer scientists to develop the r-package {text} (https://r-text.org/) that enables you to use state-of-the-art #NaturalLanguageProcessing and #MachineLearning techniques to analyze natural language data.

i’m planning to share updates we do to the text-package 📦 under #RStats and #Rtext

Peace out ✌️
