A framework named HiPSTG employs Llama V1 to augment scientific research proposals, mitigating data imbalance in hierarchical disciplinary topic inference. This method enhances classification performance by 8% in MicroF1 and supports fairer AI-assisted expert assignments through generated high-quality data for underrepresented disciplines.

Key insights

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) can effectively generate high-quality, specialized scientific text, making them suitable for data augmentation in complex, domain-specific hierarchical classification tasks.
  • Integrating hierarchical structural information and specific keywords into prompt design is crucial for guiding LLMs to produce diverse, semantically rich, and relevant synthetic data for minority classes.
  • Addressing data imbalance in hierarchical scientific text classification directly contributes to enhancing fairness and reducing bias in AI-assisted scientific administration processes.
