About GDELT: Event Classification Into CAMEO Code

Hello,

We are using GDELT events for our project but have realised that many events need reclassification to the correct event code after taking a closer look at the data.

We are considering clustering techniques or using proprietary/OS LLMs for this task. But we want to make sure that we are not duplicating the same strategy by gdelt itself.

To evaluate this, I have been trying to read about Gdelt’s actual classification strategy. What does it do to classify one event to a CAMEO code? How is it happening automatically? Without much luck as I cannot find any documentation on this.

Any help is much appreciated!
