Poking around with sentiment analysis on the public domain copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

I extracted the speech, did a strict attribution, and ran sentiment analysis for different speakers based off chunks sampled from the text.

Elizabeth is neutral with a 28% confidence level, Jane is joyful at a 57% confidence. Darcy is sad with 94% confidence and Mrs Bennet is joyful at 95% confidence.

Those aren't the emotions I get from reading the text. Again, I'm learning more about the sentiment analysis than the text.

Spent some time doing data analysis on the Project Gutenberg text of Pride and Prejudice.

Pulling out all the speech, the library I used said it was "emotionally neutral" in sentiment. Which is interesting because when you read it, the speech is absolutely not that. There's a lot in the subtleties of the speech that makes it very pointed.

The confidence on the emotional rating was 57%, which seems low to me. Doing analysis on a book I'm familiar with and recently read is telling me as much about the means of evaluating the text as the text itself.

Why do politicians always talk about "middle class," "immigrants," or "families"?

New research funded by @fwf and @dfg_public led by Dr. Lena Maria Huber (https://lenamariahuber.eu/, MZES, University of Mannheim) and Dr. Hauke Licht (University of Innsbruck), explores how politicians talk about social groups in campaign platforms and parliamentary speeches across 8 Western European countries.

Can #AI reasoning models infer people's underlying reasons in unstructured chat data from group decisions?

Across multiple prompting steps, #GTP5 usually did NOT select the same underlying reason as a human rater: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.05582

Ive been digging around for text analysis OS apps and found AntConc via a Reddit thread. This app is very good from what I can see in early quick testing. Im looking at term frequency across relevant papers, and some 'concordance' context but AntConc will do a lot more. Together with Taguette you have all you need for a lot of analysis.

Im running portable on Windows but Mac and Linux also work.
