Leveraging LLMs for Data Coding
Published in Carnegie Mellon University, Software Engineering Institutes Digital Library, 2024
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness and design methodology of applying large language models (LLMs) to improve and automate the process of coding case data. We introduce tools to guide LLMs to assist in this coding process.
