Master's Thesis - LLM-Based Narrative Virality Analysis and Signal Design in Economic and Market Text

You work with public economic and market-related text and investigate how narratives spread across sources and time. Your focus is on exploring LLM-based methods for measuring narrative spread, salience, and persistence, and on transforming these dynamics into structured and interpretable signals. How You’ll Make an Impact

• Development of a research framework for measuring narrative spread and salience in public economic and market-related text
• Exploration of LLM-based and clustering-based methods for identifying coherent narrative themes across sources and time
• Implementation of a prototype for virality-oriented or spread-based signal generation from textual data
• Evaluation of different dimensions of narrative spread, such as speed, source diversity, persistence, and cross-source propagation
• Documentation of methodology, findings, and limitations for future reuse in applied text and data analytics
• Support with the translation of research outcomes into interpretable signal concepts for forecasting-related use cases

Do you have experience in Research?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Studies in Data Science, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field at Master’s level

• Knowledge of Python-based data processing , NLP, or text-mining workflows for text analysis and prototyping
• Interest in large language models, prompt-based methods, narrative analysis, and information diffusion in economic, business, or market-related settings
• Understanding of clustering, similarity analysis, or time-based signal construction for text-driven indicators
• Ability to work independently on implementation, analysis, and technical documentation in an applied research environment
• Experience with embeddings, public text datasets, event analysis, or experimental evaluation as an advantage
