Summary

G-SHARE is a new framework that uses a multi-stage diagnostic pipeline to improve human-factor event diagnosis in nuclear power plants. It operationalizes expert guidelines for structured reasoning, evidence extraction, and consistency repair, outperforming existing LLM and ML methods.

This research introduces G-SHARE, a novel framework designed to enhance the diagnosis of human-factor events, particularly within safety-critical environments like nuclear power plants. The system translates established nine-step diagnostic guidelines into a structured, multi-stage reasoning process. G-SHARE's methodology involves extracting evidence from narrative reports, performing stepwise diagnostic reasoning, and then repairing any inconsistencies post-hoc. This structured approach ensures explicit use of evidence, generates intermediate rationales, and validates diagnostic outputs logically. Evaluations using real-world human-factor event reports from the Chinese nuclear industry demonstrated that G-SHARE significantly surpasses both one-shot large language model prompting and traditional machine learning baselines in accuracy and F1-score, highlighting the critical role of structured reasoning and consistency enforcement.

Why it matters

Professionals in high-stakes industries can leverage structured AI frameworks to improve incident analysis, ensuring more reliable and auditable diagnostic processes for safety-critical events. This approach offers a pathway to integrate expert knowledge into AI systems for enhanced operational safety.

How to implement this in your domain

  1. 1Analyze existing expert guidelines for critical operational event diagnosis.
  2. 2Design a multi-stage AI pipeline that mirrors these guidelines for evidence extraction and reasoning.
  3. 3Develop mechanisms for post-hoc consistency checking and repair within the AI's diagnostic output.
  4. 4Train and validate the AI framework using real-world incident reports and expert-annotated datasets.
  5. 5Integrate the validated system into incident review processes to augment human expert analysis.
