Abstract
The burgeoning Financial Technology (FinTech) sector in Indonesia, while witnessing a surge in user base, contends with limitations in system functionalities and service offerings.The extraction of latent features from user comments is imperative for the identification of these inadequacies, serving as a catalyst for innovation and delivering advantages to both consumers and developers of FinTech applications.This study employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm, an intelligent probabilistic model, to discern and extract underlying topics within narratives found in user comments on FinTech platforms.In this approach, words within each topic are ranked according to their respective probabilities.Through the LDA algorithm, ten salient topics, each comprising ten keywords, have been identified.These topics coalesce into three broad categories: system improvements in applications, services that are out of sync with the system, and service satisfaction.The coherence of the topics has been quantitatively assessed, with an average score of 0.564, indicative of substantial coherence.Findings from the LDA model are integrated into the User-Centered Design (UCeD) framework, wherein the algorithm streamlines the UCeD's evaluative and abstraction processes, as well as the grouping of user necessities.This integration aids FinTech management teams in pinpointing pertinent user feedback, thereby facilitating the refinement of application development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
