From Policy Documents to Structured Survey Responses: Evaluating Large Language Models for Policy Monitoring

The paper explores using large language models (LLMs) as AI respondents to convert policy documents into structured survey responses. It introduces a long-context in‑context learning pipeline that maps policy text to predefined survey categories such as policy instruments, target groups, and thematic areas, and includes a secondary LLM validation step. Evaluation on a multi‑country dataset shows high agreement (84‑95%) with human responses for structured indicators, though free‑text fields differ, indicating that hybrid human‑AI workflows can enhance policy monitoring efficiency while still requiring human oversight.

Extracting Dataset Mentions in Forced Displacement and FCV Documents: A Weakly Supervised Framework with LLM-Based Label Refinement

The paper introduces a weakly supervised framework for extracting dataset mentions from forced displacement and Fragile, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) documents. It uses a lightweight model trained on general research literature to generate candidate mentions, which are then refined by a large language model that validates or rejects them and corrects boundaries. The refined annotations are augmented with synthetic and contrastive examples to fine‑tune the model, achieving 74.1% precision and 70.5% recall on a benchmark of 1,706 passages, with higher precision (89.5%) on passages that contain dataset references.
