After 3 packed days of research, workshops, and networking, #COMPTEXT2025 has officially wrapped up! In 48+ panels, 220+ presentations, and a full day of tutorials we received a great review of the state-of-the-art in our field. Thanks everyone and see you next year!
Even though COMPTEXT2025 closed last weekend, its spirit will live on in the splendid photography of our dedicated group of colleagues from the University of Vienna: @jamoeberl.bsky.social, @amplanitzer.bsky.social, @apeksha.bsky.social! We thank and appreciate their work!

Thank you, #COMPTEXT2025! ❤️ It was amazing to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and have so many insightful conversations and discussions. Thank you for the great feedback and inspiring presentations! I'm excited about where the field of computational social science is heading!

Thanks @comptext.bsky.social for a great conference in #Vienna! I presented (1) a new method -- "MQ-Class" -- for LLM-classifying the full spectrum of media ideology and (2) my project mapping the 2D structure of global media ideology. Great people, panels, and most importantly food!

Absolutely excited to have @ahrabhikat.bsky.social in Vienna - for COMPTEXT2025 and also for coffee ☕💚
Absolutely excited to host a roundtable on "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" featuring @krangelie.bsky.social and @indiiigo.bsky.social at #COMPTEXT2025 🙌
We'll explore how bias and marginalisation shape methods and models - and thus scientific quality!

I absolutely loved @holnburger.bsky.social‘s presentation of his tool crowdbucket.io!
What a well-designed service to have LLM topic modeling results validated by humans in a convenient and fun way…like swiping on Tinder.
Will definitely use it for my historical gossip!

Forgot to mention: there are now also other #rstats packages that connect to Ollama like ellmar, tidyllm, ollamar. I still think ours works best for annotation and other tasks, but you might like the syntax or approach of something else more...
