From DQI to C-DQI: Automatic Codebook Generation and Evaluation for Measuring Computational Discourse Quality Index

Starting from the widely accepted discourse quality Index (DQI), we compare top-down (theory-based), bottom-up (data-driven), and hybrid approaches for generating context-adapted schemas.

Key points

  • Effective democratic deliberation is vital for civic engagement and the health of legislative institutions.
  • While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a scalable alternative for both schema induction and discourse annotation, ensuring schema quality and mitigating models' inherent bias remains a clear challenge.
  • In this work, we propose a complete protocol for LLM-based codebook generation and evaluation.
  • Our experiments on 100 Israeli parliament transcripts reveal that inductive, data-driven schemas achieve higher IMA than top-down methods while maintaining validity, demonstrating their potential for reliable, large-scale analysis of political discourse.
