Key Points

  • The Guardian LLM Pipeline is an end-to-end system designed to aid missing-person and missing-child investigations within the critical first 72 hours.
  • It leverages multiple specialized LLMs coordinated in a pipeline for intelligent information extraction and processing related to search operations.
  • The system utilizes a consensus LLM engine to compare outputs from multiple models and resolve discrepancies, enhancing reliability of the information.
  • QLoRA-based fine-tuning with curated datasets strengthens the pipeline's performance and aligns it with weak supervision and LLM-assisted annotation techniques.
  • The design emphasizes conservative and auditable use of LLMs as structured extractors and labelers rather than fully autonomous decision makers, improving trustworthiness in sensitive investigations.

Abstract:The first 72 hours of a missing-person investigation are critical for successful recovery. Guardian is an end-to-end system designed to support missing-child investigation and early search planning. This paper presents the Guardian LLM Pipeline, a multi-model system in which LLMs are used for intelligent information extraction and processing related to missing-person search operations. The pipeline coordinates end-to-end execution across task-specialized LLM models and invokes a consensus LLM engine that compares multiple model outputs and resolves disagreements. The pipeline is further strengthened by QLoRA-based fine-tuning, using curated datasets. The presented design aligns with prior work on weak supervision and LLM-assisted annotation, emphasizing conservative, auditable use of LLMs as structured extractors and labelers rather than unconstrained end-to-end decision makers.
