• Abstract: The combined growth of available data and their unstructured nature has received increased interest in natural language processing (NLP) techniques to make value of these data assets since this format is not suitable for statistical analysis. This work presents a systematic literature review of state-of-the-art advances using transformer-based methods on electronic medical records (EMRs) in different NLP tasks. To the best of our knowledge, this work is unique in providing a comprehensive review of research on transformer-based methods for NLP applied to the EMR field. In the initial query, 99 articles were selected from three public databases and filtered into 65 articles for detailed analysis. The papers were analyzed with respect to the business problem, NLP task, models and techniques, availability of datasets, reproducibility of modeling, language, and exchange format. The paper presents some limitations of current research and some recommendations for further research.

  Bibliometric analysis is essential for understanding research trends, scope, and impact in urban science. Traditional methods, relying on keyword searches, often fail to uncover valuable insights not explicitly stated in article titles or keywords. We leverage Generative AI models, specifically transformers and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), to automate and enhance bibliometric analysis.

  Large language models (LLMs) have brought substantial advancements in text generation, but their potential for enhancing classification tasks remains underexplored. We propose a framework for thoroughly investigating fine-tuning LLMs for classification, including both generation- and encoding-based approaches. We instantiate this framework in edit intent classification (EIC), a challenging and underexplored classification task.

  Information Extraction can help clinical practitioners overcome the limitation by using automated text-mining pipelines. We created the first Italian neuropsychiatric Named Entity Recognition dataset, PsyNIT, and used it to develop a Transformers-based model. The lessons learned are: (i) the crucial role of a consistent annotation process and (ii) a fine-tuning strategy that combines classical methods with a "low-resource" approach.

• Human-in-the-Loop Disinformation Detection: Stance, Sentiment, or Something Else? [93.91375268580806]
  Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.
