contents This paper explores the use of large language models (LLMs), here represented by GPT 3.5-Turbo to perform coding for a thematic analysis. Coding is highly labor intensive, making it infeasible for most researchers to conduct exhaustive thematic analyses of large corpora. We utilize few-shot prompting with higher quality codes generated on semantically similar passages to enhance the quality of the codes while utilizing a cheap, more easily scalable model.
