Abstract

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have reshaped semantic analysis. Opinion Extraction (OE) for Science and Technology Intelligence (STI) requires concise core opinions from large information streams.

Off-the-shelf models struggle to filter noise from these streams and show limited structured-output reliability in zero-shot multilingual and multi-modal settings. To address information overload and extraction defocus, this study proposes a multimodal core-opinion extraction framework in which visual evidence serves as a contextual anchor for textual judgment.

Using VideoLLaMA2 (VL2) and VideoLLaMA2.1 (VL2.1) as the base models, we apply Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation (QLoRA) fine-tuning on a curated dataset of 2,194 multilingual and multimodal samples. Under the selected Image-Augmented setting, fine-tuned VL2.1 generates structured JSON core-opinion outputs, achieving 64.98% Precision, 42.15% Recall, 51.14% F1-score, and 74.00% sample-level accuracy.

Relative to the zero-shot VL2.1 setting, it raises the F1-scores of Spanish and Russian from 4.83% and 0.45% to 46.05% and 51.93%, respectively. The framework further incorporates a Fuzzy Cumulative Prospect Theory-based post-extraction triage module for case-level value assessment, providing a case-level value signal for downstream STI screening.
