1/ Correction! 🚨 I found and fixed an important coding error in a chart I made. Specifically, the peach category 'lymphatic and blood cancers' in this chart wrongly included both lymphoid and blood cancers (C81-C96) plus some of its subcategories, meaning some were double-counted. Before & after:

Erroneous version of the chart with a significant share of cancer deaths being from lymphatic and blood cancers, across all ages.

Fixed version of the chart with a much smaller share of cancer deaths being from lymphatic and blood cancers, especially smaller during childhood.

1. which text version are you using? have you installed the latest version from CRAN 1.5? 2. when you try this, can you please first always remove the embeddings that are automatically saved in your working directory (called something like textPredict_694....RDS).

Oscar Kjell @oscarkjell.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

i'm not able to reproduce this (some colleagues have tried too). if you run it in a standard R script, do u get some more info? (every time you try, pls use different texts input so u make a new embeddings every time). im also happy to schedule an online meeting next week to try n sort this out :)

Oscar Kjell @oscarkjell.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

in the console it says you are loading some embedings called textPredict_..... These are created automatically when running textPredict() with a new text. Now these embeddings are named differently; so try setting dim_name = FALSE within textPredict call.

210

Oscar Kjell @oscarkjell.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Thanks for your patience. Do u already have a word embeddings for this text in your working directory? Can u pls 1) try with a different text, or 2) delete any word embeddings created from textPredict() in ur working directory. (i should add improve the warning!).

Oscar Kjell @oscarkjell.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

yes, thanks for letting me know. i've been thinking about this too. there are a few functions that i would prefer not having in both packaged to simplify maintenance. but, i will look into a solution so that the text-package installation does not require rJava. ill keep you posted.
