  6. New post just out: running LLMs from my own laptop to rate how unhinged each of Medvedev's Telegram posts really is.

    Actually, just testing the feasibility of using locally-deployed LLMs as coders of Russian-language text tadadit.xyz/posts/2024-04-09-i #Russia #TextAsData #LLM

  7. Est-ce que vous connaissez des alternatives graphiques à #orgmode sur #emacs ?
    J'ai beau être un #geek, j'ai bien les interfaces graphiques et la souris ^^

  10. Do you expect higher-quality #dialogue in small group discussions or whole class discussions?

    It might depend on the metric:
    - small groups fostered more invitation for peers to weigh in (d = 0.78, p < 0.001)
    - whole classes generated more justifications of one's viewpoint (d = 0.69, p < 0.001)

    Loads more insight from Herculean corpus analyses involving over 4000 students from 5 countries: doi.org/10.1016/j.linged.2023.

  12. Anyone have any particularly thorough walkthroughs re: looking for shared text across documents using R?

    I am using the textreuse and text.alignment packages and making progress but I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure out exactly what I am looking at, as well as how the alignment score is calculated. I am interested in *both* what matches and what does not, often in large chunks (sentences at a time).

    Alternately, anyone have thoughts on how to artfully present text alignment results, both for analysis and for sharing with others?

  16. If you are interested in how to apply #TopicModeling to continuously growing corpora, have a look at this talk by @rieger he gave last year in our lecture series:

    zpid.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/

    He shows the advantages of modeling growing text corpora using RollingLDA and presents some example applications, e.g., the uncertainty perception and inflation perception indicators, PsychTopics as well as various change detection and monitoring scenarios.

  26. Really impressive paper (and #rstats 📦) on using dependency parsers for extracting semantic relationships from text. #TextAsData

    journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/

  27. @maria_antoniak I love using interactive polls in my #textasdata method classes, e.g. when discussing the validity of topic model outcomes I do brief word intrusion tests via interactive polls - students engage and learn something about validity tests 🙂

  28. A new must-read by Samuel Brazys, Alexander Dukalskis and @stefanmueller:

    "New publication in The China Quarterly: Samuel Brazys, Alexander Dukalskis, and I use quantitative text analysis and a difference-in-differences design to study changes in “Wolf Warrior Diplomacy” after a May 2021 CCP Politburo study session.
