@max-web.bsky.social presenting our first try to use LLMs ({rollama}) to extract topics from a large corpus: the public reaction to the releases of Galactica and Chatgpt within weeks from each other in 2022 (which couldn't have been more different!) #comptext2025

deepseek is an extremly impressive open weights LLM. But the guardrails are absolutely wild 🤨

I'll get straight to the point.
We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT.
Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff.
It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

Nice paper showing just *how* irreprodroducible research with proprietary generative LLMs is. Luckily there are open source alternatives (and they are very easy to use too!)
Pleased to share the latest version of my paper with Arthur Spirling and @lexipalmer.bsky.social on replication using LMs
We show:
1. current applications of LMs in political science research *don't* meet basic standards of reproducibility...

I read this paper a while back, and I liked it. But now it also feels relevant.
