Software for Social Sciences

We develop and maintain an ecosystem of open-source R-packages designed to facilitate the use of state-of-the-art AI methods and large language models in social sciences:
talk – transforms voice recordings into text, audio features, or embeddings optimised for capturing psychological dimensions in speech.
text – converts written text into word embeddings. It also comprises machine learning techniques optimised for social sciences to analyse the embeddings from text, audio or topics in relation to other variables such as demographics, behaviours or diagnoses.
talk and text provide the user access to Large Language Models from Hugging Face
topics – visualises language patterns into topics to generate psychological insights.
You can contact us if you’d like us to host a workshop on using these packages for your research group, department or organisation.
