Graduate Research Capstone

LLM Stance Perception for Women’s Safety Narratives

Rochester Institute of Technology · Rochester, NY

Large-scale discourse and stance analysis across women’s-safety cases in India.

  • Built an end-to-end pipeline that reduced 4.3M+ raw Reddit and YouTube comments to a curated dataset of 351,501 comments across 16 cases from 2012–2024.
  • Used Mann–Whitney U, chi-square, and G-tests to compare stance distributions, including politically implicated and non-political cases.
  • Adapted Qwen3.5-9B with LoRA and evaluated it on a 3,000-sample held-out set: 0.7447 accuracy, 0.7450 macro-F1, and 0.6634 MCC.
  • Ran labeling, adaptation, validation, and systematic error analysis through RIT research-compute and SLURM workflows.
  • Co-authored the resulting short paper, accepted at ASONAM 2026.
