AI-Powered Comment Triage for Efficient Collaboration and Feedback Management
In today's digital landscape, collaborative tools are critical for virtual teamwork, with comments as a key mechanism for communication and feedback. Our project, within the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain, focuses on improving comment handling in collaborative environments using advanced machine learning methods. We developed a triage system that categorizes and prioritizes comments to help us efficiently address the most critical feedback. Building on previous work, we employed transformer models like BERT and RoBERTa, which showed strong performance in classifying comments when fine-tuned on our dataset. To enhance the handling of hierarchical structures, we experimented with Hierarchical Capsule Networks (HcapsNet) and Hierarchical Attention Networks (HAN). Additionally, GEMMA-2B, a large language model, demonstrated strong results in F1-score and precision while providing zero-shot and few-shot learning capabilities. The framework, tested in domains such as project management, academic collaboration, and document review, classifies and prioritizes comments based on six dimensions: urgency, importance, sentiment, actionability, resolution status, and thematic relevance.It incorporates rule-based logic alongside pre-trained NLP models, including GEMMA-2B for intent classification, Hugging Face models for sentiment analysis, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling. This approach supports the efficient management of comments by prioritizing those that require immediate attention and improving the collaborative process.
