This survey characterizes the contributions of large language models (LLMs) to technology enhanced learning by relating their capabilities to actual educational functions, making comparisons with traditional models of language. The contributions for this study are: i) introduce an education centered taxonomy that classifies LLM use by four key functions personalization and adaptivity, assessment and evaluation, profiling and prediction, and intelligent tutoring with illustrations from deployed systems and tools; ii) give a domain-based comparison of where LLMs outperform traditional models (sentiment analysis with sarcasm, context-aware question answering, and abstractive summarization) and why those advantages will mean something to e-learning practice; iii) synthesize six cross-cutting risks, including computational cost/carbon, privacy, bias and hallucination, labor displacement, interpretability, and the limits of human-like judgment, and provide practical design/research implications; and iv) report on a transparent review protocol that got the initial corpus down to 50 key articles, allowing for modifications and future updates from other interested researchers. In sum, the discussion about LLMs in education has been pushed past the broad strokes to a situation where there is a comprehensive vocabulary for what LLMs can do, and how they may or may not responsibly improve learning experiences, educator workflows, and systems/learning design in e-learning.

Large language models (LLMs) have recently expanded the scope of automation across many application domains. In geographic information systems (GIS), however, many tasks still require specialized expertise and remain difficult for non-expert users. Recent studies have explored LLM-based geospatial analysis under a single-agent paradigm, but these early systems remain limited by weak coordination, limited error recovery, and dependence on proprietary artifacts. This study proposes multi-agent autonomous geospatial artificial intelligence (MA-GeoAI), a multi-agent architecture in which the planner, coder, validator, debugger, and knowledge agents collaborate through the LangGraph framework. The framework was evaluated on three case studies: population exposure assessment, mobility pattern analysis, and county-level mortality modeling. Unlike general-purpose multi-agent LLM frameworks, MA-GeoAI embeds spatial semantics, coordinate reference system (CRS) consistency checks, geometry validation, and operation-aware coordination directly into the control loop. Across repeated runs, all evaluated systems completed the controlled artifact contract; therefore, the analysis focuses on auditability, runtime, fallback behavior, and reproducibility rather than binary task-completion superiority.

This paper presents an adaptive retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework for enterprise knowledge systems that combines multi-source ingestion, semantic indexing with Hugging Face embeddings and Facebook artificial intelligence similarity search (FAISS), metadata-aware retrieval, and grounded large language model generation. The research addresses a persistent enterprise gap: critical knowledge is distributed across documentation, tickets, code repositories, and collaboration tools, while static keyword search and periodically retrained language models cannot keep pace with rapidly changing operational data. The proposed approach contributes a privacy-preserving architecture, a retrieval-and-feedback loop that improves ranking quality over time, and a unified workflow that links evidence retrieval to solution recommendation. In an evaluation over a 1.2 million-document corpus and a six-week pilot, the framework improved Precision@10 from 0.58 to 0.81, reduced documentation retrieval latency from 45.6 s to 12.3 s, and shortened average bug-resolution time from 18.4 h to 7.2 h. These findings indicate that enterprise RAG can materially improve troubleshooting speed, knowledge reuse, and decision support while maintaining stronger control over sensitive organizational data. The broader implication is that adaptive, governed RAG systems can serve as a practical foundation for future enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, analytics platforms, and compliance-aware decision workflows.

This study examines the elevated prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Saudi Arabia by integrating a large-scale, regionally specific dataset from the Saudi Ministry of Health (100,000 patient records). The primary contribution is this Saudi-focused data integration—addressing a critical gap in prior studies that rely on global datasets (e.g., PIMA, UK Biobank)—and a comparative evaluation of traditional machine learning (ML) models (random forest (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost)) and few shot large language models (LLMs) for early risk detection. Key features include age, body mass index (BMI), HbA1c, blood glucose, hypertension, and smoking history. Class imbalance (9% diabetic) was resolved using synthetic minority over-sampling technique with edited nearest neighbors (SMOTEENN). Ensemble ML models achieved up to 97% accuracy, while few-shot LLM reached 98% across accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score (area under the curve (AUC) 0.99). Feature importance confirmed that HbA1c and glucose were the top predictors. This regionally tailored, high performing framework enables early detection of T2DM and culturally sensitive interventions in high-prevalence settings such as Saudi Arabia.

This paper presents a survey of retrieval algorithms used in advertising recommendation and organic content recommendation systems. Modern digital platforms rely on retrieval-based models to efficiently match users with relevant advertisements or personalized content. This survey reviews key techniques including inverted index methods, collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, hybrid recommendation models, and the two-tower neural network architecture widely used in large-scale recommendation systems. The paper compares the objectives, data utilization strategies, and evaluation metrics of ad targeting and organic retrieval systems. Practical challenges such as cold-start problems, data quality, scalability, and privacy considerations are also discussed. This survey further highlights the growing connection between industrial recommendation pipelines and emerging retrieval mechanisms used in large language model (LLM) systems. This survey provides insights into the design principles of modern retrieval systems and outlines future research directions at the intersection of recommendation systems and LLM.

Sentiment analysis is a core task in natural language processing with broad ap plications in social media monitoring, customer feedback mining, and market research. Although pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT) achieve strong performance, they typically rely on task-specific fine-tuning and substantial la beled data. Recent large language models (LLMs) enable a different paradigm via in-context learning. This paper presents a systematic empirical study investi gating chain-of-thought sentiment (CoT-Sent), a prompting framework that uses structured CoT reasoning to improve classification accuracy. We evaluate CoT Sent on four benchmark datasets in English and Chinese, comparing multiple representative LLMs (GPT-4, Claude-3, Gemini, Qwen-2.5) under zero-shot set tings. Across datasets, CoT-Sent improves average accuracy by 2.5% over zero shot baselines. Crucially, unlike prior work which provides a broad performance overview without analyzing deployment costs or multi-language generalization, we focus on the cost-latency-accuracy trade-offs, and demonstrate CoT-Sent’s superior cross-lingual transfer (English-to-Chinese) with detailed cost analysis. We provide a comprehensive three-dimensional analysis of accuracy, cost, and latency, offering actionable deployment strategies for resource-constrained environments.

Arabic sentiment analysis (SA) faces significant challenges due to the language’s morphological richness and dialectal diversity. This study introduces a novel hybrid large language model-graph neural network (LLM-GNN) framework designed to address these challenges. The proposed model integrates the contextual understanding of AraBERT v2 with the structural learning capability of a graph convolutional network (GCN). It constructs a graph of sentences using cosine similarity, allowing the GCN to capture crucial inter-sentence semantic dependencies often missed by sequential models. Findings: The model is evaluated on a publicly available Arabic 100k Reviews dataset consisting of authentic user-generated Arabic reviews balanced across positive, negative, and mixed sentiment classes. The results demonstrate that the proposed LLM-GNN model performed better as compared to the baseline models, including fine-tuned AraBERT, AraBERT-BiLSTM, AraBERT-MLP, and multilingual BERT. The hybrid model achieves an overall accuracy of 66.8% and a F1-score of 66.55%, with an improvement of 7.6% and 4.4%, respectively. The model demonstrated stable convergence from the first training epoch. Research limitations/implications: The graph construction is performed at the mini batch level, which restricts the modeling of global semantic relationships across the entire corpus. The results show that the hybrid model identifies subtle sentiment cues that sequential models frequently miss by fusing relational graph reasoning with contextual embeddings. By effectively identifying subtle sentiment cues, the hybrid model can significantly enhance the accuracy of real-world applications such as social media monitoring and customer review analysis for Arabic content.

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing (NLP), demonstrating exceptional proficiency in tasks such as text generation, translation, and summarization. However, LLMs are prone to generating biased, inaccurate, or contextually irrelevant outputs, posing significant risks in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, legal reasoning, and engineering. This paper systematically investigates the role of prompt engineering as a solution to these challenges. By strategically designing inputs, prompt engineering enhances LLM performance, yielding more accurate, contextually relevant, and ethically aligned outputs. Advanced techniques, including chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting and retrieval augmented generation (RAG), are examined for their ability to improve reasoning capabilities, reduce errors, and mitigate bias. CoT prompting facilitates structured, stepwise reasoning, while RAG incorporates real-time data, ensuring output accuracy in rapidly evolving fields. In addition, we present a novel comparative perspective on these techniques, highlighting their distinct strengths and limitations across specialized applications such as healthcare diagnostics and scientific data extraction. The findings demonstrate that sophisticated prompt engineering significantly elevates the reliability and precision of LLM outputs, while addressing critical ethical concerns such as data privacy, bias, and hallucination. These insights underscore the necessity of advanced prompt design in optimizing LLMs for high-impact applications, ensuring both performance and ethical integrity.

Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is a crucial task within natural language processing (NLP), enabling fine-grained opinion mining by identifying sentiments associated with specific aspects of a product or service. While transformer-based models like bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) have improved sentiment classification, they still struggle with limited contextual adaptability, especially in customer reviews containing complex expressions. Most existing approaches rely heavily on benchmark datasets such as semantic evaluation (SemEval) and multi-aspect multi-sentiment (MAMS), which do not fully capture the diversity of real-world review scenarios. Hence, this research addresses these limitations by proposing a novel hybrid model, called as hybrid-BERT (H-BERT), that integrates span-aware BERT (SpanBERT) with bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), conditional random field (CRF), and large language models (LLMs). The objective is to enhance aspect extraction and sentiment classification performance using both annotated and synthetic data. The methodology includes preprocessing, hybrid model training, and evaluation using the SemEval 2014 dataset. Experimental results show that H-BERT achieved 90.58% accuracy and 90.56% F-score in the laptop domain and 91.21% accuracy with a 92.03% F-score in the restaurant domain. These results outperform existing models, confirming H-BERT’s robustness and effectiveness. In conclusion, H-BERT improves sentiment understanding in customer reviews.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has generated both enthusiasm and concern regarding its role in society. While these systems demonstrate impressive technical capabilities, public acceptance is often hindered by perceptions of unpredictability, mistrust, and fears amplified by media narratives. One potential strategy to improve user acceptance is anthropomorphism, the attribution of human-like qualities to AI systems which can make interactions feel more natural and trustworthy. This paper investigates the attributes most conducive to anthropomorphism by conducting a structured review across psychology, human-robot interaction, communication studies, and business applications. The analysis identifies key traits such as emotional expressiveness, conversational coherence, adaptive social behavior, and role-based framing that enhance perceptions of AI as relatable and dependable. By synthesizing these insights, we propose a conceptual framework that highlights the psychological, social, and technical dimensions of anthropomorphism in AI. The findings provide guidance for designing AI systems that balance efficiency with user trust, thereby supporting more effective integration of AI into business, research, and everyday life.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems promise grounded answers from large language models (LLMs), yet performance depends critically on how source documents are segmented before indexing. This study investigates how pre-index chunking strategies affect both retrieval accuracy and answer quality in domain-specific scenarios. We curated a corpus on software-as-a-service (SaaS) editorial content and constructed a high-quality evaluation dataset containing 2,419 question-answer (QA) pairs generated through automated prompting and quality control. We compared four chunking approaches, including fixed-size, structure-aware recursive, semantic, and LLM-based methods. Our evaluation protocol assessed retrieval through document localization, semantic similarity, and context relevance, while generation quality was evaluated using chain-of-thought (CoT) criteria driven by judgments from LLMs. Results demonstrate that recursive chunking consistently outperforms other approaches across all metrics. Smaller chunks improve document localization, while moderately larger chunks enhance semantic alignment and generation scores. LLM based chunking variants show competitive performance but do not exceed top recursive configurations on the dataset. These findings indicate that preserving document structure through recursive chunking is beneficial for practical RAG implementations, providing actionable guidance for chunk size selection while highlighting token-budget constraints in current long context models.

Conventional task-oriented chatbots frequently suffer from task incompletions and low user satisfaction when handling complex queries. This research intro duces the complexity aware cascade, an adaptive architecture that improves user service quality by dynamically matching query complexity with the appropri ate computational response. The system uses confidence and relevance scores to intelligently route requests through a sequence of a natural language under standing (NLU) model, a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline, or a large language model (LLM). The tiered architecture was evaluated via a ran domized controlled trial (RCT) with 150 participants, measuring task success and user satisfaction. The full cascade achieved a 90% journey completion rate, representing a 92.3% improvement over baseline system and substantial gains in SERVQUAL-based service quality scores. The experiment was conducted in a domain-specific knowledge base (essential oils) with a convenience sam ple that does not represent the global population, and no real-time deployment or long-term cost analysis was performed. Accordingly, the findings should be interpreted as evidence of effectiveness in a limited setting rather than as directly scalable to all domains. Even with these limitations, this study provides arigorously tested blueprint for developing more robust and user-centric conversational AI systems.

While conventional optical character recognition (OCR) systems can digitize text, they struggle with diverse handwriting styles, noisy inputs, and unstructured layouts, limiting their effectiveness. This study proposes enhanced large language model whisperer (ELLMW), a vision–language framework for accurate text extraction (TE) from fully handwritten scripts. The methodology integrates advanced preprocessing (noise reduction, binarization, and skew correction), deep learning–based handwriting recognition convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN–LSTM), and LLM-based post-correction to ensure context-aware and structurally coherent outputs. The system converts scanned images, portable document formats (PDFs), and irregularly formatted answer sheets into machine-readable text, while automatically correcting errors in spelling, grammar, and layout. Experimental evaluation on a curated dataset of handwritten examination answer scripts (HEAS) demonstrates that ELLMW achieves 97.8% accuracy, 1.04%-character error rate (CER), and 3.24%-word error rate, outperforming widely used OCR tools including Tesseract, EasyOCR, Google Cloud Vision (GCV), PaddleOCR, ABBYY FineReader, and Transym OCR. The results highlight the model’s robustness across varying handwriting styles, noisy backgrounds, and complex document structures.

Robotic process automation (RPA) has been deployed in a plethora of industries, including the banking and insurance sectors. However, the key challenge of handling unexpected situations manifests either as an inadequacy of programming (since all situations cannot possibly be foreseen) or incongruous inputs. In parallel, deep learning models, including large language models (LLMs) and visual language models (VLMs), have shown human-like cognitive capabilities in real-world tasks, germinating the field of agentic LLMs. However, their computational expense, slow inference times, and massive energy consumption impede large-scale usage. We propose a framework that combines the two approaches to enable expedient invocation of LLMs for handling exceptions and supervising RPA bots. It aims to minimize the need for human supervision by “meta” automation, while also reducing energy usage and processing time. The automation workflow is presented as a graph, and our pipeline uses the GraphRAG framework to analyze and fix errors. We demonstrate the potential of our pipeline through two real-world examples in the banking and insurance sectors, provide our GitHub repository for reproducibility, and conclude with future research directions.

The daily many rural citizens visit government offices to inquire about beneficiary services that support poor and illiterate citizens. However, without proper knowledge, many eligible citizens fail to benefit from these services. In the artificial intelligence (AI) era, AI-powered chatbots, such as AI agents, can provide valuable support to the villagers and provide them with complete information at their door step. In this paper, a proposed framework, using a chatbot, to reduce the communication gap between citizens and government officials to improve service delivery performance. This chatbot is developed by using a built large language model, python libraries, fast API, and mongodb data base. Our findings demonstrate the challenges of imbalanced data and suggest improvements for future implementations. The system enhances service delivery by automating eligibility checks and reducing office visit frequency by up to 60%.
