| 1 | +# Concept Induction (BETA) |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Concept induction is the idea that higher-level concepts can be discovered and described in detail in corpora using the power of Large Language Models ([Lam et al. 2024](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.12259)). |
| 4 | +These high-level concepts in corpora can also be discovered from particular angles, using seeds. |
| 5 | +The original study, and the [Lloom package](https://stanfordhci.github.io/lloom/) uses LLMs all the way, and therefore requires excessive computational resources, and aggressive down-sampling of the original corpus. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +In order to account for this scalability issue, we use a [seeded topic model](seeded.md) ([KeyNMF](keynmf.md)) to discover the concepts, and only use LLMs to describe and use them. |
| 8 | +This allows us to get similar results to Lloom with a fraction of the costs. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +In addition, we allow users to generate a **Concept Browser** programmatically, with which these concepts and their related documents can be explored. |

| 17 | +## Example Usage |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The example bellow uses a synthetically generated political ideologies dataset, that we examine from the following angles: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + - Taxation |
| 22 | + - Stance on immigration |
| 23 | + - Environmental policy |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +We use an OpenAI analyzer and KeyNMF, with the `paraphrase-MiniLM-L12-v2` embedding model. |
| 26 | +The code runs in about ten minutes. |
