LLooM Examples

LLooM can assist with a range of data analysis goals—from preliminary exploratory analysis to theory-driven confirmatory analysis. Analysts can review LLooM concepts to interpret emergent trends in the data, but they can also author concepts to actively seek out certain phenomena in the data.

Check out the examples in this section to see what LLooM can do, or visit the What is LLooM? page to learn more about the motivations and methods behind LLooM.

Example Inputs

New year, new chance to sign up for a quality ACA healthcare plan. Before January 15, take some time to find a plan that works for you and #GetCovered in 2023 at

It's been incredible to meet with so many New Yorkers today as we celebrate #MLKDay and as we work to honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by continuing his march toward equality for all.

Glad to be at the historic opening of the Alief Multi-Service Center; joined by Mayor @sylvesterturner and Councilmember @tiffanydeshellthomas . From swimming pools, to tennis courts, to skate parks, this facility will serve our city greatly for years to come.

I obtained $1,800,000 for the Roe Road Extension Project in Paradise and $1,400,000 for the Cohasset Road Widening and Fire Safety Project to improve evacuation routes in those areas. These projects are focused on increasing road capacity to help people more quickly evacuate areas threatened by natural disasters, such as wildfires. This also aids first responders and emergency services to get to a disaster scene more expeditiously. These improvements to evacuation infrastructure will improve the safety and quality of life for the residents of Paradise and Butte County. Learning from previous disasters and expanding our ability to react and respond helps us prepare for potential new ones.

The fatal beating of Tyre Nichols is horrifying. I'm devastated for his family and the Memphis community. We must fight for a world that ends this injustice and inhumane brutality at last.

I am honored to continue serving on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Republicans. Solid infrastructure is critical to Florida's economy, which is dependent on moving goods and people efficiently and effectively. There's important work to be done in improving our infrastructure, and I look forward to working with Sam Graves, the members and applying my nearly 40 years of transportation policy and program experience to invest in our infrastructure system with creative funding ideas and innovative programs.

I am grateful for the opportunity to represent the citizens of South Carolina's Second Congressional District and remain accessible to them.

Task: Investigate how social media amplifies political polarization

Political polarization is a dominant concern in the United States, and it poses potential existential risks to democracy. If social media algorithms play a role in amplifying partisan animosity, how might we redesign social media algorithms to mitigate this effect? We can use LLooM to investigate political social media posts to explore whether we can detect and downrank content that amplifies partisan animosity.

Dataset: Political social media posts

We use a dataset of public Facebook posts from Jia et al.'s CSCW paper on Embedding Democratic Values into Social Media AIs via Societal Objective Functions. This dataset was generated by filtering for political posts on CrowdTangle using politics-related page categories such as “politics,” “politician,” “political organization,” and “political party.” The dataset consists of 405 posts that were randomly sampled and manually annotated for partisan animosity.
