Evaluating the construct validity of text embeddings with application to survey questions

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Despite the popularity of text embedding models, an important question to ask is: how good are the text representations, given a research task? Specifically, the authors can treat what an embedding model needs to encode as the construct of interest, the embedding model as the measure, and the embeddings as the measurements. In Sect 4, the authors apply the adapted construct validity testing framework to a concrete application, where the authors show how to evaluate the quality of embedding models when they are used to encode survey questions. To apply the idea of construct . . .
