Big Meaning: Qualitative Analysis on Large Bodies of Data Using AI
This study introduces a framework that leverages AI-generated descriptive codes to indicate a text's fecundity--the density of unique human-generated codes--in thematic analysis. Rather than replacing human interpretation, AI-generated codes guide the selection of texts likely to yield richer qualitative insights. Using a dataset of 2,530 Malaysian news articles on refugee attitudes, we compare AI-selected documents to randomly chosen ones by having three human coders independently derive codes. The results demonstrate that AI-selected texts exhibit approximately twice the fecundity. Our findings support the use of AI-generated codes as an effective proxy for identifying documents with a high potential for meaning-making in thematic analysis.

SPEC: Seeing People in the Wild with an Estimated Camera
Due to the lack of camera parameter information for in-the-wild images, existing 3D human pose and shape (HPS) estimation methods make several simplifying assumptions: weak-perspective projection, large constant focal le…
