Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, specifically, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are considered as catalyzers of sustainable development of human society by providing information technology support for attainment of targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The current study aims at investigating applicability of language generative models for identifying representation of SDGs in scientific publications indexed by Scopus database. The study is an initial step in developing an NLP-based framework for evaluation of attainment of SDGs based on documents written in human language. Given that SDGs are articulated in natural language in sentences of different length, comparison of their descriptions with summaries of text documents is expected to identify and quantify relevance of documents to each SDG and its targets in a more comprehensive way compared to the traditional keyword search. The study is based on abstractive summarization and follows the methodological framework presented in Figure

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
