Panel 55. Large Language Models in Political Science Organisator*innen / Organizers: Cohen, Denis, Dr., Universität Mannheim, denis.cohen@uni-mannheim.de Küpfer, Andreas, TU Darmstadt, andreas.kuepfer@tu-darmstadt.de Schlagwörter / Keywords: Text-as-data; Natural language processing; Computational methods Zuordnung zu Untergliederungen / Classification: Sektion „Methoden der Politikwissenschaft“ Kurzbeschreibung / Abstract: This open panel discusses innovative applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in political science. LLMs, such as BERT and GPT provide new tools to manage, interpret, and analyze vast amounts of textual data. LLMs tend to outperform previously dominant, mosty manually-driven approaches to issue classification, position estimation, or stance detection. In light of their promise and potential, the rapid adoption of LLMs in political research thus rapidly changes how political scientists approach various areas of study.
