• Abstract: A post-pandemic world resulted in economic upheaval, particularly for the cities' communities. While significant work in NLP4PI focuses on national and international events, there is a gap in bringing such state-of-the-art methods into the community development field. In order to help with community development, we must learn about the communities we develop. To that end, we propose the task of community learning as a computational task of extracting natural language data about the community, transforming and loading it into a suitable knowledge graph structure for further downstream applications. We study two particular cases of homelessness and education in showing the visualization capabilities of a knowledge graph, and also discuss other usefulness such a model can provide.

  We argue that many of these issues share a common core: a lack of awareness of the factors, context, and implications of the social environment in which NLP operates. We argue that substantial challenges remain for NLP to develop social awareness and that we are just at the beginning of a new era for the field.

  We introduce the first dataset about community needs and assets consisting of 3,511 conversations from Reddit. Using this dataset, we evaluate an utterance-level classification model compared to sentiment classification and a popular large language model. We observe through our study that conversations about needs have negative sentiments and emotions, while conversations about assets focus on location and entities.

  This paper proposes an innovative knowledge graph generation approach that leverages the potential of the latest generative large language models. The approach is conveyed in a pipeline that comprises novel iterative zero-shot and external knowledge-agnostic strategies. We claim that our proposal is a suitable solution for scalable and versatile knowledge graph construction and may be applied to different and novel contexts.

  Citizen Science is an alternative to crowdsourcing that is relatively unexplored in the context of NLP. We conduct an exploratory study into engaging different groups of volunteers in Citizen Science for NLP by re-annotating parts of a pre-existing crowdsourced dataset. Our results show that this can yield high-quality annotations and attract motivated volunteers, but also requires considering factors such as scalability, participation over time, and legal and ethical issues.
