🖼️ Use multimodal models in LLM Prompter to analyze images, videos, and audio, depending on model capabilities. ⚠️ Processors now show warnings after incomplete processing. 🐇 More efficient sharing of resources by processors 👯‍♀️ Download videos through proxies ... and much more.

Hi Baptiste, yes, you can scrape messages from open Telegram groups with 4CAT's Telegram data source. You'll find more information when going to "Create dataset" and selecting "Telegram" as a data source. This requires a valid API key.

🎞️ New: 'Video Wall' processor Create collages from video datasets. Ideal for exploration and presentation of audiovisual materials (and to overstimulate yourself with Italian Brainrot memes). 📈 Other new processors: • 'Confusion Matrix' for evaluation • 'Replace Text' to change any text value

🔎The Explorer lets you examine datasets in a rich environment where social media posts are "reassembled" to look like their original appearance. You can sort data, make manual annotations like field notes, or let (LLM-)processors add categories and notes. How to use: github.com/digitalmetho...
