Large language model-based paper classification framework with key-insight extraction and confidence-weighted voting

1-score of 0.796, substantially exceeding KBC (0.732), ABC (0.676), and unsupervised K-means clustering (0.446). By employing zero-shot LLMs, our approach demonstrated the potential for enhanced adaptability across diverse domains and classification tasks without requiring fine-tuning, demonstrating that a carefully designed pipeline can enable LLMs to achieve classification performance comparable to human reviewers.

Abstract

1-score of 0.796, substantially exceeding KBC (0.732), ABC (0.676), and unsupervised K-means clustering (0.446). By employing zero-shot LLMs, our approach demonstrated the potential for enhanced adaptability across diverse domains and classification tasks without requiring fine-tuning, demonstrating that a carefully designed pipeline can enable LLMs to achieve classification performance comparable to human reviewers.
