The framework is live at https://t.co/UMxFV1fVfG. I’m looking for feedback from the #CSS community: How can we better validate these latent social spaces?

[Simon @SimonSimsiX]

Can we quantify "taste" and social position? 🧐I’ve developed Bourdieu Vectors – a computational framework that maps social practices into a multidimensional vector space based on Pierre Bourdieu’s capital theory. 🧵👇 #CompSocSci #Sociology #AI #NLP

Using LLMs as 'zero-shot' classifiers, the tool assigns scores for Economic, Cultural, Social, and Symbolic capital. This allows us to calculate cosine similarities between lifestyles or visualize the "Social Space" in real-time. 🧮 Preprint: https://t.co/t4FIfVNVqt

Sociology often struggles to scale qualitative concepts like 'Habitus'. At the same time, LLMs contain vast cultural knowledge but lack a sociological compass. Bourdieu Vectors bridge this gap by translating activities (from "watching Opera" to "playing Soccer") into 76D profiles

@oiltraderlondon No. I would say moral is mainly used to position yourself on the field and delimit yourself from others.

R.I.P. to the illusion of 'distinction.' Our new framework, Bourdieu Vectors, finally quantifies the exact coordinates of your social class. Your "good taste" is just statistically average for your tax bracket. Ready to see where you really belong?

[Simon @SimonSimsiX]

I understand that spiritual identity is central for you. Bourdieu’s point is that we all move within fields of power—whether we value them or not. Even choosing to focus solely on discipleship is shaped and interpreted within a social world. Exploring that doesn’t diminish faith; it can actually illuminate how society influences how faith is lived.

@chastronomic Your content is great. Keep it rolling. 😁

[Simon @SimonSimsiX]

@lda_trb Woe, nice idea. Thanks! It could be extended with dislikes.

[Simon @SimonSimsiX]

@Verukita1 @Andrei_WongE https://t.co/Uiz5r4Zdxq can help you map taste to vectors.

@chastronomic I love your content. Cheers from Vienna! ♥️
