New LLM-Symbolic Framework Analyzes Disaster Policy Discourse

Researchers have developed Apaf, a novel hybrid LLM-symbolic framework designed to analyze policy documents, particularly in disaster governance. This system operationalizes critical discourse analysis by classifying arguments into deliberative or managerial frames and identifying frame-mediated relations. A new dataset of 100 disaster-risk-reduction policy sub-documents from the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia was created to demonstrate the framework's accuracy, interpretability, and cross-jurisdictional stability. AI

IMPACT This framework could enhance the interpretability and quantitative analysis of policy documents, aiding in disaster governance.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new research paper detailing a novel framework and dataset.
