🥳 @comptext.bsky.social conference 2026 at @unibirmingham.bsky.social is over! I had the chance to give a 3-hour workshop on high-performance computing for computational social scientists, during which we covered cluster access hurdles, hands-on sessions, and workflow management tools. #COMPTEXT2026

Thanks @comptext.bsky.social for a great conference in #Vienna! I presented (1) a new method -- "MQ-Class" -- for LLM-classifying the full spectrum of media ideology and (2) my project mapping the 2D structure of global media ideology. Great people, panels, and most importantly food! #COMPTEXT2025

Forgot to mention: there are now also other #rstats packages that connect to Ollama like ellmar, tidyllm, ollamar. I still think ours works best for annotation and other tasks, but you might like the syntax or approach of something else more...

As this amazingly successful #COMPTEXT2025 comes to an end, it’s time for a bit of self-reflection 🔥
Meme based on the ‘Who Killed Hannibal’ format: In the first panel, a person labeled ‘COMPTEXT’ shoots another person labeled ‘THEORY’. In the second panel, ‘COMPTEXT’ looks confused and says, ‘What do you mean, you don’t buy my causal mechanism?’
