I have always suspected that large language models need energy. But courtesy of long-needed research by @clint0475.bsky.social @patrickparschan.bsky.social and colleagues we now have more solid evidence of the impact of using them for research purposes #COMPTEXT2025

I first visited the Policy Agendas team at @utaustin.bsky.social a decade ago. Bryan Jones and the team graciously encouraged us to establish the Hungarian CAP project. Ten years passed, and here I was again, working with these amazing people. Here is to the next decade of great CAP research!

The @syracuseu.bsky.social Maxwell School/Campbell Institute, under the leadership of @faricy.bsky.social, have launched critical initiatives in data development for a new era of policy agenda studies. It has been a privilege to present our poltextLAB AI and large-language model solutions there!

Thank you @hajoboo.bsky.social @fabiennelind.bsky.social for the kind welcome! It was a pleasure to present at CCL, one of the premier labs of computational social research in Europe! And yes: the robots are coming! :)
Yesterday, @miklossebok.bsky.social presented #TheBabelMachine, a toolkit to make computational methods more accessible for a broader community and at the same time a first step towards consolidation in a fragmented field. 👏
