Visiting the #changeiskey project changeiskey.org/ this week in #Gothenburg @goteborgsuni. Have had a great time talking to interesting people, and gave a talk on my recent research @CUDANLab & the machine-assisted mixed methods framework proposal (xitter.cf/AndresKarjus/status/17…)
Qual analysis & data coding can provide deep insight. But the time cost is a bottleneck! Enter Machine-assisted mixed methods a transparent framework for qual data at scale arxiv.org/abs/2309.14379 #LLMs #AI #MAMM I conducted 1⃣6⃣ hum&socsci casestudies to see if it works🧵👇
