LLM pipeline extracts causal evidence from humanitarian reports with high accuracy

Researchers have developed a two-stage Large Language Model (LLM) pipeline to extract structured causal evidence from lengthy and complex humanitarian reports. This system, tested on ReliefWeb data from 2000-2024, uses query-conditioned extraction and snippet grounding for auditability. In expert-annotated tests, a fine-tuned Llama-3.1-8B model achieved a 94.15% F1 score, outperforming a closed-source LLM. The pipeline also incorporates a triangulation method to quantify evidence convergence across different contexts, demonstrating strong positive results for cash assistance and food-related outcomes. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a significant advancement in using LLMs for structured data extraction from complex documents, potentially improving evidence synthesis in critical fields like humanitarian aid.

    Causal Evidence Extraction and Triangulation in Crisis Reports using Large Language Models: A ReliefWeb-based Study

    Humanitarian reports are long, noisy, and multi-topic, making it difficult to consolidate decision-relevant causal evidence. We present a ReliefWeb study (2000-2024) and a two-stage Large Language Model (LLM) pipeline that extracts structured intervention-outcome records with dir…
