MetaFraming: A Methodology for Democratizing Heritage Interpretation through Wiki Surveys

A participatory methodology to democratize heritage study through AI-assisted wiki surveys, a technology from the computational social sciences that allows the survey itself to evolve and people interact with it. I developed MetaFraming using three distinct GPT-3.5 pipelines: one generates hundreds of 'seed' propositions from background research (controlled for tone and topic), another interprets user-submitted comments by providing contextual history of their interactions, and a third automatically codes comments for sentiment and topics to speed qualitative analysis and aid abuse detection. The methodology was developed through a case study on Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation and published as a conference paper. Read the full paper here ↗.
