It's Fred Rogers birthday & as I watched Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood as a child, I topic modeled academic literature discussing "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" in Constellate (constellate.org/dataset/7537…). Some interesting topics around music, broadcasting, violence & television, family.

Are you going to be at DLF and interested in text analysis? I'm running what should be a fantastic introduction to text analysis concepts and we'll even get our hands on some code -- join us (sched.co/1On2p)! #LearnAtDLF
I don’t get the obsession with making LLMs do math. It’s not what they’re good at or why they’re amazing. Sure, math could be a test case for symbolic logic, but most of what I see is turning 10 billion parameter LLMs into an unreliable 1987 Casio calculator watch.
I spent my Labor Day learning how to turn my TV into a display of our family calendar, which has tipped into insane with the addition of a 4th college student. This must be a transferable skill, right? Both the act of coordination and the tech skills?
The Text Analysis Pedagogy (TAP) Institute was a fantastic success this year! It was made possible by the Constellate platform (constellate.org/) and our fantastic education team. If you want to teach classes, just like we did at the TAP Institute, DM or drop me a note.
I've got an email from the local children's hospital in Gmail, I just noticed (a couple of kids were patients back in the day.) YouTube just gave me an ad for said children's hospital.
I am *always* happy to chat about text analysis, text analysis education, Constellate and TAP Institute. Come visit me at the virtual ACH booth tomorrow or just reach out! #ACH2023#tdm#textanalysis
