1/5 Did you ever wish to make a visualization of language data? 🤔

We made an R-based tutorial for social scientists on how to turn language data into visual insights ✅

the R-packages text 1.6 and topics .6 are now on CRAN

topics includes visualisation improvements

text is now easier to install, it checks for dependencies and instructs how to install them

hope to get more user feedback to improve installation further

hi again, please note that text 1.6 and topics 0.6 is now on CRAN.... and this version of text does not require the user to download JAVA. The installation is now made easier by explicitly checking and providing instructions regarding system dependencies. (again, thanks for the feedback)

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).

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 :)
