Matt WebbThe entire BBC In Our Time archive browsable by Dewey-Decimal code? Yes please
I made a website to find old episodes of In Our Time to listen to. There are almost a thousand, it’s my starting point for any new topic
Very early, suggestions welcome
James King@genmon this is fantastic! Is the metadata manually curated?
@jamesking no! that's the amazing thing -- there's tons of automation, really only possible because of GPT-3 as a web scraping and categorising tool

Andromeda Yelton@genmon @jamesking How do you evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the DDC terms?
@thatandromeda @jamesking eyeball. There seem to be a few arguable placements, and one out-and-out GPT misfire that I've spotted so far (Lawrence of Arabia under History of the Ancient World)
A big problem with this technique is it's not very tuneable. So I'm looking for alternatives (still with automation)... there's a technique called TCAVs which is interesting (proximity in embedding space) but some digging required there
