@jmelot @rggelles Is the link between PARAT and CAT cited in this (outdated) documentation text still a thing? https://eto.tech/tool-docs/cat/#identifying-ai-related-companies

jmelot commented 4 months ago

Yes that's right, the relevant query is here: https://github.com/georgetown-cset/cat_ai_measures/blob/main/crunchbase/ai_companies_cb.sql

jmelot commented 4 months ago

I had to point the query to a backup table temporarily while we finish annotating the companies but I'll update that when the data is fully ready to go (in fact I'll make a new issue about that now).

za158 commented 4 months ago

I think we should sever this link and just rely on the other two criteria. PARAT v2 has a broader and less AI-focused range of companies than the earlier version and I worry this will have unpredictable effects on the CAT data, and the other two criteria on their own are fine. @rggelles do you have any concerns with this

rggelles commented 4 months ago

Nope, I actually think when CAT was first made I suggested that relying on PARAT as a measure of AI-ness might not make sense, so happy to remove that reliance now.

za158 commented 4 months ago

Great. @jmelot let me know when this is done (no rush) and I will update CAT documentation accordingly
