🚨Software Publication Alert🚨
This one is for you, text-analysis folks:

I am very happy to share the publication of my text annotation R-package "handcodeR" 🥳, which is now available on CRAN. 🧵1/7

CRAN.R-project.org/package=handcoge=handcodeR

#CRAN #rstats #TextAsData #TextAnnotation

Reminder: The #TextAsData conference deadline is now August 11th.

Details and link here: https://colliderbias.net/@commonsupport/110800066721843173

Gerade findet an der @elibbremen die 12. Sitzung des wissenschaftlichen Beirats von @fidpol statt. Wir sprechen über #neues #textasdata #openaccess #medienkompetenz #dataliteracy #computanionalsocialscience und mehr und freuen uns über den Austausch und die Expertise

If you are interested in how to apply #TopicModeling to continuously growing corpora, have a look at this talk by @rieger he gave last year in our lecture series:

https://zpid.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=03addb74-2f86-4ed0-b877-af9c00a2959d

He shows the advantages of modeling growing text corpora using RollingLDA and presents some example applications, e.g., the uncertainty perception and inflation perception indicators, PsychTopics as well as various change detection and monitoring scenarios.
