arXiv:2606. 06715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We ask whether topic sentiment has a causal effect on perceived political ideology, and whether the answer depends on who assigns the ideology label.
arXiv:2607. 14888v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Finetuning language models on small, curated datasets is standard practice for adapting them to specific policies or domains.
arXiv:2604. 21334v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Do large language models (LLMs) exhibit systematic ideological bias when reasoning about economic causal effects?
arXiv:2607. 21842v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research on political polarization on social media depends on the ability to reliably measure partisanship in user-generated content.
arXiv:2607. 27232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly shaping how we consume information and form our worldview.
Enthymemes, arguments with unstated premises or conclusions, are pervasive in persuasive discourse, yet their annotation remains notoriously subjective. We present a resource of 1,482 tweets from politically controversial discourse, annotated by five annotators for the presence of enthymemes and their argument structure, designed to study label variation.
arXiv:2605. 22641v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Detecting Schwartz values in political text is difficult because implicit cues often depend on surrounding arguments and fine-grained distinctions between neighboring values.
arXiv:2508. 13187v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Homelessness is a persistent social challenge, impacting millions worldwide.
arXiv:2608. 03810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models routinely describe socially salient targets, including political figures, countries, religions, organizations, historical events, and social groups, encoding affective framing alongside factual content: a target may appear favorable or threatening, calm or conflictual, powerful or vulnerable.
arXiv:2603. 13891v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated text annotation in tasks ranging from academic research to content moderation and hiring.
arXiv:2608. 05155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional sentiment analysis (SA) models, while effective for polarity classification, provide limited insight into the rhetorical, ideological, and framing dimensions of political discourse -- dimensions that are central to research in the social sciences and humanities (SSH).
arXiv:2606. 28335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue, with systematic empirical evidence, that a large language model's political ideology is not a fixed point, but a conditional distribution $\mathbb{P}($position$\mid$context$)$ over a real political space.
arXiv:2608. 11049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of social media has created vast amounts of political discourse, which provides valuable opportunities to analyze public opinions and identify different political perspectives.
