Summary

Applied NLP with Large Language Models explores how advanced natural language processing techniques, powered by large-scale pretrained models, can be applied to diverse domains. It covers computational solutions for understanding, generating, and reasoning with natural language, enabling applications such as intelligent information retrieval, text summarization, machine translation, knowledge extraction, decision support, multimodal integration, and human-AI collaboration.


Research areas include prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, domain-specific fine-tuning, interpretability, ethical and trustworthy AI, multilingual processing, and cross-disciplinary applications of LLMs. This Special Issue emphasizes both theoretical advancements in applied NLP with LLMs and practical case studies that demonstrate their impact across industries and sciences.


Potential application areas span engineering, healthcare, education, business, law, and the social sciences, including medical decision support, automated report generation, educational technology, legal document analysis, business intelligence, smart governance, and more.


This Special Issue aims to gather the latest research results and solutions in applied NLP with LLMs. Both methodological and application-driven studies are welcome, particularly those with technical depth or emerging cross-domain applications.

    Can Causal Circuits Enable Efficient Spatial Reasoning for Geoinformatics in Large Language Models?

    Sahil Tripathi, Manaswi Kulahara, Abdul Khader Jilani Saudagar, Hatoon S. AlSagri
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.083755

    Abstract Spatial reasoning, defined as the ability to infer and compose relations among entities—is fundamental to geoinformatics applications such as spatial querying and map understanding. However, existing works such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)-based spatial Question Answering (QA) models and neuro-symbolic models rely on dataset-specific patterns, leading to shortcut learning, where reliance on superficial lexical cues rather than true relational understanding. Recent Large Language Models (LLMs)-based works, including fine-tuning and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, partially alleviate shortcut learning but remain limited by non-causal reasoning, where predictions depend on spurious correlations rather than stable relational structure. To address these… More >

    AAC-HABSA: An Adaptive Aspect Conditioning Framework for Interpretable and Robust Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

    Mahander Kumar, Lal Khan, Mohammad Zubair Khan, Ibrahim Aljubayri
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.081699

    Abstract Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fundamental Natural Language Processing (NLP) task that aims to determine fine-grained sentiment polarity toward specific aspects mentioned in text. With the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformer-based architectures, significant improvements have been achieved in contextual representation learning for sentiment analysis. However, existing LLM-inspired and transformer-based ABSA frameworks often suffer from inadequate aspect-context alignment, redundant feature integration, limited interpretability, and insufficient coordination between contextual and sequential modeling components. To address these challenges, this paper proposes two hybrid architectures, namely HABSA and AAC-HABSA, centered on a novel Adaptive Aspect… More >

    LLM-Based Enhanced Clustering for Low-Resource Language: An Empirical Study

    Talha Farooq Khan, Majid Hussain, Muhammad Arslan, Muhammad Saeed, Lal Khan, Hsien-Tsung Chang
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.145, No.3, pp. 3883-3911, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.073021
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Applied NLP with Large Language Models: AI Applications Across Domains)
    Abstract Text clustering is an important task because of its vital role in NLP-related tasks. However, existing research on clustering is mainly based on the English language, with limited work on low-resource languages, such as Urdu. Low-resource language text clustering has many drawbacks in the form of limited annotated collections and strong linguistic diversity. The primary aim of this paper is twofold: (1) By introducing a clustering dataset named UNC-2025 comprises 100k Urdu news documents, and (2) a detailed empirical standard of Large Language Model (LLM) improved clustering methods for Urdu text. We explicitly evaluate the… More >
