Large Language Model-Assisted Preparation of Transportation Management Plans: A Case Study with WisDOT WisTMP System

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper presents a Large Language Model (LLM)-assisted framework for automating the creation of Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) using the WisDOT WisTMP system. It fine‑tunes several open‑source LLMs of varying sizes on a domain‑specific dataset derived from historical WisTMP documents, and deploys the models locally to maintain data security. Experiments show that fine‑tuning improves text‑generation metrics, though LLMs still over‑generate strategies and struggle with project‑specific justifications and cost estimates, and scaling from 7B/8B to 14B models offers limited gains.

Kolibri: A Sovereign European Model on the Pareto Frontier

Kolibri is an English‑German mixture‑of‑experts transformer with 78.1 B total parameters and 3.46 B active parameters per token, released under the Apache 2.0 licence. It was trained on 24 T tokens, with German comprising over 20 % of the data, and includes supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning on more than 1.2 M curated tasks. The model activates only 4.4 % of its parameters per token and, among open models evaluated, sits on the Pareto frontier of quality and serving cost for both English and German.

LM-DSB: A Lightweight Multi-agent System for Automated Daily Safety Bulletin Generation in Construction

The paper introduces LM-DSB, a lightweight multi‑agent system that automates the creation of daily safety bulletins (DSBs) for construction sites using a retrieval‑augmented generation approach with a locally deployable large language model. The system employs specialized planner, researcher, and writer agents coordinated in a hierarchical architecture, fine‑tuned on construction safety documents and grounded in 37 HSE documents. Validation in two phases showed that the multi‑agent RAG system outperformed alternatives in lexical alignment, coherence, and document completeness, and expert reviewers rated it highly for regulatory compliance and factual accuracy.

Instruction-Tuning Open-Weight Language Models for BPMN Model Generation

The paper presents InstruBPM, an instruction‑tuned open‑weight large language model that generates BPMN process models from natural language descriptions. By preparing paired text‑diagram data and applying parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning with quantization, the authors demonstrate that the tuned model outperforms both untuned open‑weight baselines and strong proprietary models in sequence, structural, and guideline‑conformance metrics. The approach is cost‑effective, privacy‑preserving, and supports on‑prem deployment, with publicly released models and scripts for reproducibility.
