Optimizing Generative AI's Accuracy and Transparency in Inductive Thematic Analysis: A Human-AI Comparison

2025-03-08 · Matthew Nyaaba, Min SungEun, Mary Abiswin Apam, Kwame Owoahene Acheampong, Emmanuel Dwamena

This study highlights the transparency and accuracy of GenAI's inductive thematic analysis, particularly using GPT-4 Turbo API integrated within a stepwise prompt-based Python script. This approach ensured a traceable and systematic coding process, generating codes with supporting statements and page references, which enhanced validation and reproducibility. The results indicate that GenAI performs inductive coding in a manner closely resembling human coders, effectively categorizing themes at a level like the average human coder. However, in interpretation, GenAI extends beyond human coders by situating themes within a broader conceptual context, providing a more generalized and abstract perspective.

A mean-field games laboratory for generative modeling

2023-04-26 · Benjamin J. Zhang, Markos A. Katsoulakis

We demonstrate the versatility of mean-field games (MFGs) as a mathematical framework for explaining, enhancing, and designing generative models. In generative flows, a Lagrangian formulation is used where each particle …

LIME: Learning Inductive Bias for Primitives of Mathematical Reasoning

Wasserstein proximal operators describe score-based generative models and resolve memorization

2024-02-09 · Benjamin J. Zhang, Siting Liu, Wuchen Li, Markos A. Katsoulakis 외

We focus on the fundamental mathematical structure of score-based generative models (SGMs). We first formulate SGMs in terms of the Wasserstein proximal operator (WPO) and demonstrate that, via mean-field games (MFGs), t…
