This morning at #ic2s2 I have the chance to present ongoing work on applying a SEM from survey methods to LLM text annotations: 👉 Evaluating LLM Text Annotations Without Ground Truth 📍10:45, Mansfield (210), Understanding LLMs w/ @maximiliankreutner.bsky.social Alex Cernat & @mstrohm.bsky.social

Scatterplot that shows high correlation (r=0.97) and high NDCG@10 between estimated and true annotator quality for data from the Manifestos project

Important food for thought for the #IC2S2 community, as we convene the next several days. How replicable/reliable/robust is the science we do? How do we build collective capacity and frameworks that facilitates a science that is cumulative?
