[Not loaded yet] - Reposted by The COMPTEXT AssociationI absolutely loved @holnburger.bsky.social‘s presentation of his tool crowdbucket.io! What a well-designed service to have LLM topic modeling results validated by humans in a convenient and fun way…like swiping on Tinder. Will definitely use it for my historical gossip! #COMPTEXT2025

- After 3 packed days of research, workshops, and networking, #COMPTEXT2025 has officially wrapped up! In 48+ panels, 220+ presentations, and a full day of tutorials we received a great review of the state-of-the-art in our field. Thanks everyone and see you next year!
- How can we better capture marginalised voices through computational text analysis? An inspiring roundtable at #COMPTEXT2025 sparked important reflections. Huge thanks to @ahrabhikat.bsky.social, @krangelie.bsky.social, @indiiigo.bsky.social for guiding this vital conversation!
- The success of COMPTEXT 2025 was made possible by the indefatigable and amazing work of the local organising team led by @fabiennelind.bsky.social + @hajoboo.bsky.social @univie.ac.at @compcommlab.bsky.social. The COMPTEXT Association is grateful for their work and to our sponsors (bit.ly/430VUye)!
