“Text as Data”

From March 31 to April 5, 2025, a week-long
DH Spring School
in Potsdam, Germany will focus on text-based digital humanities for students and early-career scholars. Learn computational methods like topic modeling, stylometry, and network analysis. Apply by Nov 30, 2024. Participation is free!

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 https://tadadit.xyz/posts/2024-04-09-inter-coder-reliability-unhinged-medvedev/ #Russia #TextAsData #LLM

Est-ce que vous connaissez des alternatives graphiques à #orgmode sur #emacs ?

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: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.linged.2023.101223

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?

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:

https://zpid.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=03addb74-2f86-4ed0-b877-af9c00a2959d

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.

#Introduction

I am a last year #PhDcandidate in #sociology at the Radboud University. My research focuses on gender and the consequences of unpaid/informal/family #caregiving. I use quantitative methods and all sorts of data sources (e.g., longitudinal surveys, register data, #TextAsData).

Being the chair of the Halkes Women Faculty Network, I really believe that we can make academia more #fair, #equal, and maybe even more fun. #openscience
