First preprint out about our take on how you can utilize LLMs to conduct large scale qualitative data collection. Give it a read, and follow us for more results in the following months!
🚨 New preprint!
"Comparing AI-led to human-led chat-based interviews"
Can LLMs collect interview data similar to human RAs?

Turns out… yes (mostly).

Note: these were text interviews—not directly comparable to in-depth, face-to-face qualitative interviews.

Announcing OLMo 2 32B: the first fully open model to beat GPT 3.5 & GPT-4o mini on a suite of popular, multi-skill benchmarks.

Comparable to best open-weight models, but a fraction of training compute. When you have a good recipe, ✨ magical things happen when you scale it up!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

A first starter pack on computational social science, that is, researchers who use computational methods (broadly defined) to answer social science questions. It's a vaguely defined field with blurry borders, so it's certainly incomplete; if you want to be on it, let me know! go.bsky.app/PCckf3C
