Magic Words or Methodical Work? Challenging Conventional Wisdom in LLM-Based Political Text Annotation
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Evaluating the sensitivity of LLM-based political text annotation to implementation choices challenges conventional wisdom
Action Steps
- Identify key implementation choices in LLM-based text annotation
- Evaluate the interactions between model choice, model size, learning approach, and prompt style
- Assess the impact of popular 'best practices' on annotation results
- Compare controlled evaluation results to conventional wisdom
Who Needs to Know This
Data scientists and AI engineers working on LLM-based text annotation projects can benefit from understanding the interactions between model choice, size, learning approach, and prompt style to improve annotation results
Key Insight
💡 The sensitivity of annotation results to implementation choices is poorly understood and requires controlled evaluation
