The COMPTEXT Association

Even though COMPTEXT2025 closed last weekend, its spirit will live on in the splendid photography of our dedicated group of colleagues from the University of Vienna: @jamoeberl.bsky.social, @amplanitzer.bsky.social, @apeksha.bsky.social! We thank and appreciate their work!

Thank you, #COMPTEXT2025! ❤️ It was amazing to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and have so many insightful conversations and discussions. Thank you for the great feedback and inspiring presentations! I'm excited about where the field of computational social science is heading!

Thanks @comptext.bsky.social for a great conference in #Vienna! I presented (1) a new method -- "MQ-Class" -- for LLM-classifying the full spectrum of media ideology and (2) my project mapping the 2D structure of global media ideology. Great people, panels, and most importantly food!

Thanks also to @comptext.bsky.social for keeping the ball rolling! I couldn't be happier this beautiful community exists 😁

The validation panels were epspecially popular at #COMPTEXT2025 To continue the discussion in June:👇

Off to Vienna for this year’s #COMPTEXT2025 conference.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Absolutely excited to have @ahrabhikat.bsky.social in Vienna - for COMPTEXT2025 and also for coffee ☕💚

I 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!

🔥second-to-last panel at #COMPTEXT2025 on Hate, Counterspeech & Algorithmic Influence!
@simonkarg.bsky.social on tracking hate/counterspeech
Thomas Kirchmair on cross-platform variations of hate
Chico Camargo on (in)effective user agency
Chaired/discussed by Travis Coan & @jadevrielink.bsky.social 👏

Such a great & needed roundtable - for #COMPTEXT2025 and beyond! 👏👏

Where does the bias hide? 🔎 Let's discuss the applicability of multimodal models for clustering multilingual SM data w

An awesome panel to end #COMPTEXT2025 ! ✍️

Had an amazing time at my first #COMPTEXT2025 in Vienna. Happy to see so much cool research, get the chance present our paper and represent a growing team of researchers from the Institute of Political Studies @fsv.charlesuni.cuni.cz

My personal highlight of #COMPTEXT2025 😊

Forgot to mention: there are now also other #rstats packages that connect to Ollama like ellmar, tidyllm, ollamar. I still think ours works best for annotation and other tasks, but you might like the syntax or approach of something else more...

#COMPTEXT was great, thanks to the organizers for putting together such a strong interdisciplinary conference!

As this amazingly successful #COMPTEXT2025 comes to an end, it’s time for a bit of self-reflection 🔥

Started at COMPTEXT two years ago, I was very happy to present today the complete models for detecting social
group appeals at #COMPTEXT2025 with @lenamariahuber.bsky.social and @rwillh11.bsky.social

Watch this space for use and access details in the coming weeks!

Some statements from the last two days of
#COMPTEXT2025 worth discussing…🧐

🤓 come to the TOP cinema bar tonight to keep the conversation going and to
🥳 party with us after an inspiring conference!

🥂After Drinks & After Thoughts starting at 7pm🥂

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)!

We are happy to announce the recipients of the COMPTEXT Association travel grants. Grants were based on priorities such as ensuring global attendance and diversity. 2025 recipients are: Junaid Ahmed, Jiyoung Lee, Larissa Miller, Naama Rivlin, Ren Tao, Zeynep Zulfikar

A lively late morning at #COMPTEXT2025 brought stimulating sessions on narrative and framing, LLM performance, affective polarisation, political language in crisis, media bias, and protest in authoritarian regimes.

Happening now at #COMPTEXT2025

Absolutely fascinating and packed panel on enhancing and (critically) evaluating LLM performance at #COMPTEXT2025 this morning.
w/ great work by @zacdgreene.bsky.social,
Laura Liebig, Lukas Erhardt, and @christianpipal.bsky.social.

Excellently chaired by @amplanitzer.bsky.social! 👏

@ahrabhikat.bsky.social is presenting her fantastic work 👀 #COMPTEXT2025

Loved the roundtable led by @ahrabhikat.bsky.social "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" /w @krangelie.bsky.social & @indiiigo.bsky.social Everyone was taking notes! ✍️ #COMPTEXT2025

Screenshot of a powerpoint slide stating, in large letters, "Defending the Status Quo: Exploring r/TrueUnpopularOpinion as a Defensive Public."

I had a great time presenting my work for the first time at #COMPTEXT25 - excited to keep coming back to this excellent conference!
