  • 演講者簡介 : Aaron Lai is the Director of Analytics at Manifest MedEx and a Senior Fellow at Purdue University’s Krenicki Center. Formerly a leader at PwC, Castlight Health, and Blue Shield of California, he holds an MSc in Healthcare from Oxford and is completing a Doctor of Technology degree at Purdue, focusing on AI-enabled disaster triage. He is also joining the California State Guard to put this work into practice.
  • 演講摘要 : This presentation introduces a novel framework for computational social measurement using Large Language Models (LLMs). Using patient triage in disaster as a case study to illustrate the key challenges and mitigations, we demonstrate a multi-stage process that transforms unstructured text into standardized data for robust analysis. Our approach employs an LLM ensemble to not only perform the measurement task but also to rigorously validate the results, ensuring methodological reliability. This validation enables powerful policy simulations and underscores that different LLMs, like survey instruments, possess unique characteristics. We argue this framework offers a powerful, scalable tool for social science research, applicable to coding open-ended surveys and analyzing qualitative interview data.
