Agents are playing an increasing role in Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), especially in urban planning, public health, and social support organizations, as they monitor data, reason through problems, and act across complex systems.
This article investigates the performance of models on social media posts by examining different Transformer architectures. It evaluates the effectiveness of fine-tuning and prompt-based methods, aiming to identify best practices and trade-offs through performance comparisons across various models.
Topic modeling, particularly with advanced tools like BERTopic, presents a promising approach for extracting insights into SDoH from unstructured text.
