Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of a new Special Issue entitled ‘Natural Language Processing Based on Neural Networks and Large Language Models’ in the journal Electronics. This Special Issue aims to explore the transformative impact of neural networks (NNs) and large language models (LLMs) on the field of natural language processing (NLP), highlighting advancements that are redefining the way machines understand and generate human language.

Natural language processing (NLP) has experienced a revolutionary shift with the advent of neural networks (NNs) and large language models (LLMs). These technologies enable advanced applications such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, and conversational agents. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in NN- and LLM-based NLP, addressing challenges in scalability, efficiency, and ethical use, while showcasing innovative methodologies and real-world applications.

This Special Issue will delve into cutting-edge applications and methodologies leveraging NNs and LLMs for NLP, covering topics such as machine translation, conversational AI, sentiment analysis, text generation, and beyond.

We welcome original research, review articles, and case studies that explore the theoretical foundations, algorithmic innovations, and practical implementations of NNs and LLMs in NLP. Special emphasis will be placed on topics such as improving model efficiency, scalability, interpretability, and ethical concerns in AI development.

This Special Issue seeks to bridge gaps in the existing literature by providing a platform for novel ideas and multidisciplinary approaches to NLP. With rapid advancements in NN and LLM technologies, this collection will offer a timely and comprehensive perspective on their evolving role in solving complex linguistic challenges across diverse domains.

While existing research has extensively explored traditional NLP approaches, the rapid development of NN and LLM technologies introduces new challenges and opportunities. This Special Issue will provide an invaluable supplement to the current literature by achieving the following:

  • Showcasing innovative methods that address the limitations of earlier NLP techniques.
  • Discussing the practical implications of NN- and LLM-based solutions in real-world applications.
  • Addressing ethical and societal considerations that arise with the deployment of large-scale language models.

We invite you to submit your latest research to contribute to this exciting field.

Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) represents an innovative advancement in natural language processing, leveraging the power of large language models (LLMs) for complex tasks such as policy generation. This research presents a GraphRAG model trained on YouTube data containing keywords related to logistics issues to generate policy proposals addressing these challenges. The collected data include both video subtitles and user comments, which are used to fine-tune the GraphRAG model. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, the performance of the proposed model is compared to a standard generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model. The results show that the GraphRAG model outperforms the GPT model in most prompts, highlighting its potential to generate more accurate and contextually relevant policy recommendations. This study not only contributes to the evolving field of LLM-based natural language processing (NLP) applications but also explores new methods for improving model efficiency and scalability in real-world domains like logistics policy making.
