This work is only possible because others have openly released data -- thank you all! See the paper and data/README.md in the repo for the full list. We also got helpful reviews for CHR, which I continue to be excited about as a venue (2024.computational-humanities-research.org)
The official version will be up on Arxiv in a few weeks and at CHR in December but wanted to get this out asap in case the paper (and data, more importantly) can be useful for fall teaching; all datasets in the repo are in a common format for people to play around with.

My group just finished up a new paper that I'm excited to get out into the world: "On Classification with Large Language Models in Cultural Analytics" (to be published at CHR): github.com/bamman-group...
