Can Large Language Models Transform Computational Social Science? [PDF]
Computational Linguistics, 2023 Large language models (LLMs) are capable of successfully performing many language processing tasks zero-shot (without training data). If zero-shot LLMs can also reliably classify and explain social phenomena like persuasiveness and political ideology ...
