Clinical notes contain unstructured text provided by clinicians during patient encounters.These notes are usually accompanied by a sequence of diagnostic codes following the International Classifi-cation of Diseases (ICD). Correctly assigning and ordering ICD codes is essential for medical diagnosis andreimbursement. However, automating this task remains challenging. State-of-the-art methods treated thisproblem as a classification task, leading to ignoring the order of ICD codes that is essential for differentpurposes. In this work, as a first attempt, we approach this task from a retrieval system perspective toconsider the order of codes, thus formulating this problem as a classification and ranking task. Our resultsand analysis show that the proposed framework has a superior ability to identify high-priority codes com-pared to other methods. For instance, our model’s accuracy in correctly ranking primary diagnosis codes is˜47%, compared to ˜20% for the state-of-the-art classifier. Additionally, in terms of classification metrics,the proposed model achieves a micro- and macro-F1 scores of 0.6065 and 0.2904, respectively, surpassingthe previous best model with scores of 0.597 and 0.2660.

Entity resolution (ER) typically relies on pairwise similarity comparisons between records,which limits its ability to capture indirect relationships present in demographic occupancy data. An im-portant indirect pattern arises from household movement, where multiple individuals relocate togetheracross addresses, but detecting such patterns is difficult due to mixed-format records, noise, duplication,and the absence of stable identifiers. This paper proposes an AI-enhanced framework for detecting indirectentity links associated with household movement in unstandardized name–address data. The approachintegrates prompt-based large language model (LLM) named entity recognition for extracting personalnames and addresses without extensive preprocessing, semantic text embeddings for robust similaritycomputation, and graph-based reasoning to infer group-level movement patterns. Experimental evaluationon SPX benchmark datasets (S8–S12) generated using the Synthetic Occupancy Generator demonstratesthat incorporating indirect household movement evidence improves recall by 8–15% while maintaining highprecision, yielding F1-score gains of 6–8% over a strong pairwise baseline.

Simulating public opinion evolution is a core focus of computational social science. Traditional agent-based models rely on predefined heuristic rules, failing to capture the semantic features and cognitive processes of human natural language interactions. While large language models offer new approaches for artificial society construction, existing frameworks have limitations in scalability and memory management. Taking the Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge event as the background, this study uses an open-source multi-agent social simulation framework, designing four progressive intervention scenarios to analyze agents cognitive synergy and public opinion trajectories. Results show the framework mitigates role drift and premature consensus, reproduces the public opinion evolution trajectory, providing empirical insights for policy testing and LLM-driven social computing.
