Excited to analyze text at the level of *interpretable concepts*, addressing many weaknesses of topic models we’ve found in the past - and with more control & revision by analysts. Also a fun collaboration between @uwdata and @StanfordHCI, led by the impressive @michelle123lam!

“Can we get a new text analysis tool?” “No—we have Topic Model at home” Topic Model at home: outputs vague keywords; needs constant parameter fiddling🫠 Is there a better way? We introduce LLooM, a concept induction tool to explore text data in terms of interpretable concepts🧵
