Add to ORKGStandard measures of segregation or polarization are inappropriate for high-dimensional data such as Internet browsing histories, item-level purchase data, or text. We develop a model-based measure of polarization that can be applied to such data. We illustrate the measure with an application to the partisanship of speech in the US Congress from 1872 to the present. We find that speech has become more polarized across party lines over time, with a clear trend break around 1980. *E-mail
