#Prague is neat and I am here for the #ecprgc23 to tell the people something they didn't know about the use of problem- and solution-oriented #evidence in Swiss #pesticide policy (Thursday 10.45). #TextAsData as usual but first time for me with some fancy #transformer models.

Anyone have any particularly thorough walkthroughs re: looking for shared text across documents using R?

I am using the textreuse and text.alignment packages and making progress but I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure out exactly what I am looking at, as well as how the alignment score is calculated. I am interested in *both* what matches and what does not, often in large chunks (sentences at a time).

Alternately, anyone have thoughts on how to artfully present text alignment results, both for analysis and for sharing with others?

Liberals and conservative use similar moral words, but they attach different meanings to those words

Maybe seems obvious, but suggests that moral politics is a competition over *meaning* and not promoting specific values

It also has implications for how we think about and use (or don't use) dictionary methods for understanding morality in text and speech.

Are you aware of a text (paper, book chapter, etc.) that summarizes the dos and don'ts in keyword selection when compiling a text #corpus from sources other than academic publication databases? Somehow I can only find texts concerned about systematic literature reviews. 🤔 Can't believe no one from the #textasdata #CommunicationResearch community has gone down this rabbit hole yet? 😄

NEW PAPER MONDAY 🙌

Together with Karin Ingold and Manuel Fischer, I examined which members of parliament (MPs) engage in biodiversity integration and identified actor characteristics that help explain their behaviour.

Really impressive paper (and #rstats 📦) on using dependency parsers for extracting semantic relationships from text. #TextAsData

#introduction

I'm a professor teaching entrepreneurship. My main research focus is on understanding how entrepreneurs can be successful while avoiding the negative aspects of startup life, so, e.g., wellbeing, emotion, creativity, motives, and #OB. Also, interested in mgmt history.

With a background in software development, I gravitate toward computational methods and experiments, with a fondness for #rstats and #textasdata.

I'm mostly here to follow #research and #academia threads.

Hi all, I am a communication scientist at @ifp U of Mainz. As a #polcomm scholar I am interested in topics such as media as a driver of #polarization & societal #cohesion, how media affect political decision-makers strategic choices, and which role news media play in fundamental societal crisis.
To answer these questions I became enthusiastic about the potentials of computational approaches - #TextAsData #nlp.
Happy to get in touch about #polcomm research and #ccs.

#Introduction

Hi!

💼 I am a political scientist somewhere at the intersection of #EUstudies, #InternationalRelations and #ComparativePolitics.

💻 Current focus: public debates and #PoliticalCommunication about European and international institutions – working a lot with #TextAsData methods and #rstats.

🌐 More about work: http://christian-rauh.eu

🧐 Here to discover and share #research and #data but musings on #cycling, #FamilyLife, or #RapMusic cannot be avoided, I fear …

#Introduction 👋

I am a Research Fellow at the #EUI within the framework of the #SOLID project. My research focuses on EU #crisispolitics, #politicalbehavior, public opinion formation, social #movements, & #protest.

I am also interested in #researchmethods & #Rstats package development. I work with #textasdata for semi-automated protest event analysis, #surveyexperiments, and #QCA.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Phd in #sociology , with interest in #epistemology #misinformation #conspiracyTheories , #rstats #textAnalysis #textAsData #NLP #polarization.

Here it goes my #introduction

I'm a PhD student at NYU Politics. I research comparative politics, and my research agenda mostly focuses on political #representation using quantitative methods such as #textasdata #causalinference #formaltheory. I also work with topics such as social movements, democratization and civic culture.

Outside academia, I enjoy playing bass and eating spicy food. I am here to try an alternative to twitter and to have another source of cute pics of animals :)

I have released additional data on party positions on #immigration to complement the existing online supplement with #data coded after the publication. #migration #manifesto #politics #politicalParties #elections #position #openScience #textAsData

https://druedin.com/2022/11/12/party-positions-on-immigration-additional-data-released/

Inspired by the fantastic analysis by @juliasilge using #tidytuesday Stranger Things dialogue, I replaced all the old 20 Newsgroups/Inaugural Adresses/Manifesto examples for tomorrows #textasdata intro. Might still use beer reviews for the supervised learning part.

Oh, and while we're here, my #introduction: I work as computational communication scholar, interested in media use and effects and quant methods, and do most of my work with :rstats:, sometimes to produce silly graphs with bad puns.
