We test for a trend over time by fitting a weighted linear model to the log-odds of usage. Under this specification, Claude is the only AI service in the survey to show a statistically significant upward trend over this period

Interviews were video and audio recorded. We transcribed the audio using OpenAI's Whisper automatic speech recognition system and anonymized the transcript before analysis. We analyzed the interview data using thematic analysis [1]. First, two members of the research team independently coded four (25% of collected data) randomly chosen participant data to generate low-level codes. The inter-coder reliability between the coders was 0.88 using Krippendorff's alpha [37]. The two coders then met together to cross-check, resolve coding conflicts, and consolidate the codes into a codebook across two sessions. Using the codebook, the two coders analyzed six randomly selected participant data each. The research team then met, discussed the analysis outcomes, and finalized themes over three sessions.
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
We conducted a qualitative analysis of user study transcripts and survey responses using a Grounded Theory approach [8]. First, the lead researcher collected a list of participants' behaviors, approaches, reflections on their experience, and feedback about the interface. The researcher then systematically coded this data, revisiting the data multiples times and refining the codes to ensure consistency and coherence. Through this process, high-level themes were identified and organized using affinity diagramming. Once the thematic structure was finalized, the researcher gathered supporting evidence for each theme and synthesized the findings, which were reviewed by the research team to ensure agreement on the results.
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
Activity log data, which revealed how participants actually used the interface, echoed the above findings. According to the log data, participants spent most of their reading time (66.31%) with vertical alignment on the second element in structure pairs, followed by alignment on the first element (29.19%), and left-justified alignment (5.13%). Highlighting usage showed a similar preference: 91.13% of time with all chunks highlighted, 8.25% with partial highlighting, and minimal time (0.63%) without highlights.
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
In this section, we present findings on how AbstractExplorer supports comparative close reading at scale by integrating quantitative survey responses and log data with qualitative analysis of transcripts and open-ended responses. The qualitative analysis process is described in detail in Appendix H.

Throughout the two tasks, we also collected detailed interaction logs including counts of user-defined aspects created, duration of highlighting usage, and time allocation across the three possible alignment options.

Both gaze data and the semi-structured interviews revealed that lower NFC participants were more willing to be guided by the three features and took advantage of them consciously.
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
Using a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U Test, we found that participants who reported their lowest perceived cognitive load when all three features were enabled had significantly lower NFC than participants who reported their lowest cognitive load level when skimming with no features enabled—in the baseline interface (p=0.03).

For simplicity of analysis, we denote participants with NFC scores above the overall participants' median NFC of 5.42 (IQR = 0.583) as higher NFC, and lower NFC otherwise.

After obtaining an expanded set of high-level chunk labels, we assign them to each of the sentence chunks by using LLMs in a multiclass classification few-shot learning task, with the initial labels and assignment as examples (see prompt used in Appendix D.3).
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
Then, we segment sentences within each aspect into grammarpreserving chunks (see prompt used in Appendix D.2). This results in grammatically coherent chunks that are the basis of structure patterns. After identifying chunk boundaries, we again prompt an LLM to generate labels for chunks in a human-in-the-loop approach: starting from an initial set of labels for chunk roles, when a new label is generated, a researcher from the research team examines the new label and merges it with existing labels if appropriate, controlling for the total number of labels.
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
We process this data in a three-stage pipeline (Figure 6). In the first stage, Sentence Segmentation and Categorization, abstracts are split into individual sentences using the NLTK package, and each sentence is classified into one of the five pre-defined aspects as listed in Section 4.1.1. Classification is performed by prompting an LLM (see prompt used in Appendix D.1) with the sentence and its full abstract.

After the interviews, we analyzed the data using the process described in Appendix B
sentence describing how analysis was performed on data collected by the authors of this paper
To analyze the annotation efficiency, we first conducted a Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test [39] to determine if there were statistically significant differences in annotation time across the three conditions, because our data violated the homogeneity of variances assumption, making non-parametric methods more appropriate.

The insertion of an algorithm’s predictions into the patient-physician relationship also introduces a third party, turning the relationship into one between the patient and the health care system. It also means significant changes in terms of a patient’s expectation of confidentiality. “Once machine-learning-based decision support is integrated into clinical care, withholding information from electronic records will become increasingly difficult, since patients whose data aren’t recorded can’t benefit from machine-learning analyses,” the authors wrote.
There is some work being done on federated learning, where the algorithm works on decentralised data that stays in place with the patient and the ML model is brought to the patient so that their data remains private.

A fairly comprehensive list of problems and limitations that are often encountered with data as well as suggestions about who should be responsible for fixing them (from a journalistic perspective).
Benford’s Law is a theory which states that small digits (1, 2, 3) appear at the beginning of numbers much more frequently than large digits (7, 8, 9). In theory Benford’s Law can be used to detect anomalies in accounting practices or election results, though in practice it can easily be misapplied. If you suspect a dataset has been created or modified to deceive, Benford’s Law is an excellent first test, but you should always verify your results with an expert before concluding your data has been manipulated.
This is a relatively good explanation of Benford's law.
I've come across the theory in advanced math, but I'm forgetting where I saw the proof. p-adic analysis perhaps? Look this up.
