LlaMig: Exploring Migration Research with Large Language Models
Overview
The ability of migration scholars to synthesize knowledge is increasingly hindered by the rapid expansion of the field — both in volume and interdisciplinarity.
To address this challenge, we develop LlaMig (Large Language Model for Migration Research), an open-source, locally deployable framework designed to transform large volumes of scholarly text into a structured, queryable database. LlaMig (this model) is a fine-tuned version of the meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct model.
The companion github repository contains:
- Scripts for fine-tune Llama-3.2-3B
- Exploratory analysis of LlaMig’s classifications of published migration articles
- Tools for mapping trends and themes in migration research
Model Details
- Developed by: Stefano M. Iacus, Haodong, Qi
- Finetuned from model: meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct
- Code Repository: https://github.com/HaodongQi/deep_literature_review_migration
- Paper: Deep literature reviews: an application of fine-tuned language models to migration research
Uses
Scholars in migration studies and climate induced migration can use this model to classify literature on the topic.
