We analyze the use of language models for political text classification. Political texts become increasingly available and language models have succeeded in various natural language processing tasks. We apply two baselines and different language models to data from the UK, Germany, and Norway. Observed accuracy shows language models improving on the performance of the baselines by up to 10.35 % (Norwegian), 12.95 % (German), and 6.39 % (English).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
