title: 'fathom: Qualitative Coding and Measurement with Local Language Models'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Qualitatively code a corpus by asking a local language model a set of questions
  about each document and reading the answer from the model's next-token probability
  distribution rather than parsing its text. Extraction never fails to parse, returns
  a probability per label, and reports the probability mass the model placed outside
  the label set. Includes the auditing steps that separate usable annotation from
  plausible-looking output. These inspect the documents that fired on an item and
  draw blinded samples for human coding. Requires a running Ollama server.
