LLMs measure parliamentary discourse's epistemic orientation, linking it to democracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method called the Evidence-Minus-Intuition (EMI) score to measure epistemic orientation in political discourse. This score, derived from large language model ratings and semantic similarity, analyzes speech segments to distinguish between evidence-based reasoning and intuition-based reasoning. Applying this to millions of parliamentary speeches across seven countries from 1946 to 2025, the study found that a higher EMI score correlates positively with deliberative democracy and better governance outcomes, including law transparency and implementation.
