Supervised Natural Language Processing Classification of Violent Death Narratives: Development and Assessment of a Compact Large Language Model by Susan T Parker

“…ObjectiveThe objective of this work is to assess applications of supervised NLP to unstructured data in the National Violent Death Reporting System to predict circumstances and types of violent death. MethodsThis analysis applied distilBERT, a compact large language model (LLM) with fewer parameters relative to full-scale LLMs, to unstructured narrative data to simulate the impacts of preprocessing, volume, and composition of training data on model performance, evaluated by F1F1 ResultsA minimum training set of 1500 cases was necessary to achieve an F1F1F1 ConclusionsCompact LLMs with sufficient training data can be applied to supervised NLP tasks with a class imbalance in the National Violent Death Reporting System. …”
