The paper introduces a pipeline and conversational system that processes 22,788 YouTube transcript and comment chunks from 309 North American cities to analyze public discourse on urbanism. It combines geographic entity resolution, topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and reports empirical findings on model performance, such as a Twitter-tuned RoBERTa classifier outperforming VADER and dense retrieval surpassing TF‑IDF. The study also evaluates groundedness metrics, noting limitations of BERTScore and ROUGE‑1 for short user-generated text.
This thesis explores how to select and adapt NLP models for global health literature when annotated data and computational resources are scarce. It compares skip‑gram word2vec models trained on increasingly large specialized corpora with BioWordVec for semantic tag discovery, finding that larger coverage does not always yield more useful domain associations. The study also evaluates convolutional spaCy models versus a RoBERTa transformer for named entity recognition, noting a trade‑off between higher F1 scores and longer inference time, and investigates MiniLM few‑shot versus BART‑MNLI zero‑shot classification for multi‑label topic classification, highlighting practical constraints of inference cost. "whyItMatters":"The work provides empirical guidance on balancing model accuracy and resource demands for building knowledge systems in low‑resource global health settings."
MechaTerp-TRACE is a new framework that systematically ablates individual components of language models to measure their causal contribution to producing a named entity. By applying TRACE to thirteen instruction‑tuned dense decoder models, the study finds that a small set of positionally fixed components consistently carry the most influence across models and prompts, while the remaining support is evenly distributed. This suggests that entity knowledge is largely embedded in generic generation machinery rather than in isolated, findable components.
The paper introduces a cross-dialect Named Entity Recognition (NER) framework for Bangla, leveraging the ANCHOLIK-NER dataset that covers five major regional dialects. Using a Leave-One-Dialect-Out Cross-Validation strategy, eight transformer-based models were evaluated, with Multilingual-E5 Large achieving the best performance (F1 up to 97.26% on Mymensingh, 82.38% on Chattogram). Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) revealed that the models rely mainly on the surface form of entity words rather than surrounding context, suggesting a direction for future improvement.
