Very excited that my paper with @katakeith.bsky.social is now out in @polanalysis.bsky.social. We investigate whether LLMs actually follow the instructions/definitions provided in codebooks, propose some diagnostics, and release a new evaluation dataset. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Topic @adeldaoud.bsky.social and I were discussing today at lunch at #ic2s2 and want to ask here: What are the “known facts” in the social sciences? Which relationships between at least two social variables have been empirically found to have large effects and replicated by multiple groups?
Highlighting this thread. Based on what I'm seeing at #ic2s2 this week, this line of work is hot (if a bit crowded), but I predict will only be more widely adopted by social scientists in the future.
Maria Antoniak@mariaa.bsky.social · last yr.What are your favorite recent papers on using LMs for annotation (especially in a loop with human annotators), synthetic data for task-specific prediction, active learning, and similar? Looking for practical methods for settings where human annotations are costly. A few examples in thread ↴
This was top-down decision and Williams faculty have yet to formally discuss it. Unclear whether it is resistance or capitulation. www.science.org/content/arti...

I'm excited to share that we've released v1.0 of our podcast corpus, SPoRC, led by my PhD student Ben Litterer! This first dataset is a slice of time, comprising over one million episodes from May and June 2020, including transcripts, diarization, and extracted audio features.
Ben Litterer @blitt.bsky.social · 2y agoPodcasts are a popular medium, but data for computational research is limited! We introduce the Structured Podcast Research Corpus (SPoRC - huggingface.co/datasets/bli...), a large, multimodal dataset of English podcasts 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2411.07892
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
