Using Large Language Models for Coding German Open-Ended Survey Responses on Survey Motivation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/heyde-2025-ain-t-nothing-but-survey/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* The paper asks whether generative LLMs can code open-ended survey answers outside the easy setting of earlier studies, which used English text on familiar political topics. 3. **[Too Open for Opinion? Embracing Open-Endedness in Large Language Models for Social Simulation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2026-too-open-opinion-embracing-open/)** *(2026)* Research that uses LLMs to stand in for survey respondents or social agents usually restricts the models to multiple-choice or short-answer formats, because such outputs are easy to score and aggregate. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Algorithmic Fidelity of Large Language Models in Generating Synthetic German Public Opinions: A Case Study](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2025-algorithmic-fidelity-large-language-models/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Bolei Ma, Berk Yoztyurk, Anna-Carolina Haensch, et al.*2025 · 10 citations* 2.
