Prompt Templates 3.2 Phase 2: LLM-Augmented Text Classification After the taxonomy is finalized, we next train a text classifier that can be reliably deployed to perform label assignments at very large-scale and in real-time. Following recent work that shows the strengths of LLMs as annotators of training data [8, 15], we propose to leverage LLMs to obtain a “pseudo-labeled” corpus set using the taxonomy yielded in Phase 1, then use these labels to train more efficient classifiers at scale. Specifically, we prompt an LLM to infer the primary label (as a multiclass classification task) and all applicable labels (as a multilabel classification task) on a “medium-to-large” scale corpus sample that covers the range of labels in the taxonomy, creating a representative training dataset that can be used to build a lightweight classifier, such as a Logistic Regression model or a Multilayer Perceptron classifier. In this way, we can induce “pseudo labels” from the LLM classifier and transfer its knowledge to a more efficient and manageable model that can be deployed and served at scale. An illustrative figure of this phase is presented in Figure 3. This paper is available on arxiv under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 DEED license.
