text 1.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-12-05

text 1.2.17

text 1.2.16

  • textPredict() detects model_type.
  • Instead of having to specify the URL, one can now specify the model name from the Language-Based Assessmet Model (L-BAM) library.
  • Including default option to download an updated version of the L-BAM file

text 1.2.8 - 1.2.13

  • fixing bugs related to text prediction functions
  • adding method_typ = “texttrained” and “finetuned”
  • streamlining code for implicit motives output
  • adding textFindNonASCII() function and feature in textEmbed() to warn and clean non-ASCII characters. This may change results slightly.
  • removed type parameter in textPredict() and instead giving both probability and class.

text 1.2.7

text 1.2.6

  • updating python code, including adding parameters hg_gated, hg_token, and trust_remote_code.

text 1.2.1

CRAN release: 2024-04-22

text 1.2

Functions

text 1.1

Functions

  • textEmbed() is now fully embedding one column at the time; and reducing word_types for each column. This can break some code; and produce different results in plots where word_types are based on several embedded columns.
  • textTrainN() and textTrainNPlot() evaluates prediction accuracy across number of cases.
  • textTrainRegression() and textTrainRandomForest now takes tibble as input in strata.

text 0.9.99.5

Bug Fix

text 0.9.99.3

Functions changes

  • Removing textSimialirtyTest() for version 1.0 because it needs more evaluations.

Bug Fix

  • changed hard coded “bert-base-uncased” to model, so that layers = -2 works in textEmbed().
  • Update logging level critical using integer 50 with set_verbosity.
  • changed in sorting_xs_and_x_append from Dim to Dim0 when renaming x_appended variables.
  • changed first to append_first and made it an option in textTrainRegression() and textTrainRandomForest().

This version is now on CRAN. ### New Features - Adding option to deselect the step_centre and step_scale in training. - Cross-validation method in textTrainRegression() and textTrainRandomForrest() have two options cv_folds and validation_split. (0.9.02) - Better handling of NA in step_naomit in training. - DistilBert model works (0.9.03)
